Since writing the last number, per.
ceive the subject has excited more inleres
than bad any reason to expect. | was
well aware that the people OF this town
could never look with indifference uoon
any thing undertaken by the state Of Viz
ginia. Though we have been cruelty dis
severed from our parent state, and though
we are DOT under her Jurisdiction. yet eve.
ry thing connected with her--at least
where her reputation is concerned--exe
cites our most lively feelings, and induces
us to wish her all possible success; for her
pride is ours, and our interests are the
same. The jubilee at York is state ats
fair. The whole state leans towards
making it equal, it not superior to any
tete Gen. La Fayatte has yet had; and con
ceive that her honor is al stake. Let US
not be found wanting on the 18Th OF OC-
tober, day ever sacred in the annals OF
American history, when the mercenaries
OF Great Britaio were compellei to &C.
knowledge the irresistible power OF trees
men. On the next anniversary, it will be
celebrated with more intense feeling than
has yet been displayed. The great actor
in the drama will be upon the ground, aud
we will there witness the representation
OF the old siege. and behold tie man who
conducted it with so much honor TO him
self, and so much glory to the American
arms.
Ibetore mentioned the propriety Of the
Generals having body guard from here
TO York, and shall now inquire into the
measures necessary 10 send volunteer
company with him. 1t cannot for moa
ment be supposed, that the young men
composing the uniform companies Oh the
town, could be able 20 defray their own
expenses--yOung men, whose modes OF
livelihood depend upon the most assduous
attention 10 their business, and It is among
them alone that can be found those able to
support themselves upon such an expedl-
ton; nor can there be found sufficient
members OF any one company 10 go, but
volunteers from the whole. Let the citi-
zens OF Alexandria, (if no other provision
is made. each OF whom bold dear as the
apple of the eye the credit OF their town,
subscribe such sum as IS consistent with
his circumstances, and thus confer last
ing honor upcn themselves. Let that uni.
form be selected which will be most con.
spicuous, and will make show upon the
plains of York have been informed
that there are sixty dresses belonging to
the independent Blues, and volunteers to
that amount can easily be obtained; and
when commanded by their respectable
captain, an Alexandrian need DOT blush for
the martial appearance which they would
make. am satisfied of the truth OF this
declaration, that one hundred volunteers
could easily be found who are most ready
and willing to embark, IL IS TO be hoped
that the citizens Of Alexandra will take II
into their most earnest consideration, and
that some person adequate TO The task.
would enter fully into the question, and
show how easy and practicable il would be.
