The New York Journal, And Weekly Register

It must be pleasing to every independent citizen, observes a correspondent, to recognize that laudable military ardor which, in a time of actual peace, pervades a number of these states. That virtuous example of economy, given by Colonel Miles's Company of Light-Horse, in Pennsylvania, in the articles of waistcoats and breeches of American Buckskin, deserves the attention, and thanks of the community, as well as their zeal to acquire the noble art-military, to which we owe our independence, and by which we may be called to defend it. New-York is not behind in the spirit of the latter—but possesses not the necessary virtue of economy in the habiliment of her troops. In Massachusetts, necessity, together with her natural independence of disposition, has led her both to military fame, and economy. New-Hampshire, under the civil and military administration of a Sullivan, is in full possession of these two important republican excellencies. Remember, ye other states, continues our correspondent, that a well disciplined militia is the grand bulwark of every FREE community.
