the report: his remarks were to the pur.

Massachusetts was in favor OF the report.
He spoke at considerable length. Wnesner
il be because this man was once federal
ist. and turned with the tide; or because
he appeareth to me much to resemble III
manp respects, the secretary of the treasue
ry; or because he appeareth toi1ave mof|
political sophis,rv than honest argument
or because he seemeth to have more polstl.
cal ambition than political virtue; know
not but cannot have nsuca reverence Tor
this man. Friend Ref, he that hath un-
ders,anding, yet climeth into congress snro'

ambition than greatness OF mind: There
was much sophistry, and little reason IN
Bjdwell's remarks. II ! do not think
wrepgly on the subject, Bldwell hopes TO
wrest the lead from the hands OF Ran.

There was presented memorial from
c.,.l p,odcet. stating the progressed a
subscrip,,cn FOR an university, on Plan TO
accord with the views of Washington IN
his last will. The design OF these follow
ers of the illnssrioas founder are not Only
to aid the original plan, but TO form 1t into
a monument In the form or after the man.
ner of the Iimoleonteon at Syracuse, as
described IN Plutarch's life OF Iimoleon,
and to do this,in manner most honorable
both to the whole people OF America ana
TO the common father of his country. Our
ci,izens. men, women, and children, from
GEORGIA to Maine are subscribing daily, IN
imitation of an ancient custom OF the orr.
oinal Americans who all contributed as,one
TO the monumental pile OF beloved chief.
The executors of his will are trustees till
CONGRESS- may in due time, agreeabiy to
the request of Washington, take the whole
under their fostering care, Till which time
the cashier Of the national Branch Bank al
Washington as general treasurer to the
subscribers, will continue to invest the.
subscription monies at compound interest.
There are above $4,000 Subscribers to this
Dlon from which no American is exclud.
ed, but foreigners are only permitted to
contribute to the endowment fund There
are several elegant designs already drawn
for this obiect,. they represent the statue
voted by congress in 1898, in.the centre OF
a spacious area surroundedrby Halls, Col
lepes, Museums, Libraries, &c. in the SIM
lie but sublime stiie OF Grecian architec-
ture, and when complicated will form the
noblest supersructure or modern and per-
haps of any ancient times, while architec-
,ure was at its acme.
