Notice to Revolutionary Pensioners.

 Instructions have been received at the Pension Office in this city, from the War De pertinent, which require new forms for pow CTS of attorney and paths of indentifcation, in order to receive the semi-annaai stipend which will become due the 4th day of Sept. next. The alteration is required for the pur- pose of having a uniformity in those docu- ments from the several pension offices in the United States.

 are required, may be had at the "Litch-

 field Bookstore in season for the next se-

 mi-annual payment in September.

 One or two city editors affect to think that the dignity of the state is greatly seandalized by the course pursued by Gov. To,niinson, in going directly on to Hartford at the opening of the session instead of staying at home un- til waited upon, and informed of his election course would have displayed some false mod esty, as well as have been an useless waste of time and money. The canyassess appointed by law had declared him elected, and it would have been maiden timidty in him, had he neglected to have gone directly on to Hart ford, where his presence was absolutely nc cessary for the commencement of legislative business; more especially since such course was urged upon him by Gov. Wolcott, whose health would not permit him to go to Hart ford. If the independent and honorable course he pursued be departure from ancient usages, as the Herald asserts, we will only say that it is high time such nsages were done away, and that the encroachment upon them had better be made this spring than next, or at any other time hereafter.-If no other argu- mcnts can be produced against Gov. T. he will receive the unqualified support and ap probation of the citizens of Connecticut for many years to come.

 Mr Mdcon-This gentleman, who has been so long in public service as representative and senator in Congress, has been invited by some of the citizens of North Carolina to partake of public dinner. In reply to the invitation MT Macon says ;-" Permit me to say to you that have never been to public dinner giv ,en to any man for public services, and that do not approve of them." Whatever may be said infaavor ofpublic dinners, as to their ten dency to promote harmony and good feeling, they have of late been perverted to scenes of rancor and bitter enmity; and in stead of that generous flow of liberal feelings which ought to characterize such feasts, every ef- fort has been made to excite jealousy and ill., will against the greatest and best men in the country. No wonder the, venerable Macon, after having read the hostile sentiments re- gently delivered at opposition dinners at the south, should declare that he does not ap- prove of them. No honest man can approve efsuch scenes of turmoil and strife.
