MATERNAL FONDNESS.
June

There is a feeling in the Mothers breast,
There is wish unuttered unsurpassed,
Which, like secret not to be revealed,
Dwells ever at her heart, in silence sealed:
1t is that hope Of happiness she forms
For her young offspring-which not all the storms
OF life, its woes, its sickness, nor its pains,
Can vanquish, but Interchangeable remains
1t is MoTHER's HOPE that still increases,
Till the existence Of its object ceases.

President of the United States made at Washing
ton in February last by caucus composed of
small minority of the members of Congress that
they regard the same violation of the spirit of
the constitution; as the unjushable and unworthy
attempt OF few ambitious and unauthorized individ
uals to force upon the people a man who has no
claims to that high station, and who would have no
possible chance of their suffrages, but through the
influence of office hunters and intriguing men; and
that we will oppose the said nomination by all fair
and honorable means.
Resolved, That this meeting will not nominate nor
support any individual as candidate for the Legis
laure of this State, who is not decidedly and, under
all circumstances, opposed to the election of WIL-
LINN H. CRIWFORD as President, and NJ

Many conjactures have been hasarded as to the
aggregate cost of the canal to the mouth of Dunlaps
.Crcek--but the difficulty of procuring accurate
data, 10 found such calculations upon, OF course
renders them liable TO many errors. 1t seems to
me that the fairest mode of proceeding, is to take
what has been finished, and the costs Of finishing it,
as foundation for the general calculation. Ii,
therefore, we admit That the work already done, is
equivalent the thorough completion of 10 miles
of the canal, and that it has cost 4OOOOO--the
rule of three, will conduct us TO the result desired
To the town of Covington along the contemplated
race of the canal, is distance of $50 miles-and
five admit that the cost of each ten miles is equal,
il will swell the whole expenditure to S l0,0OO,DOO
~ do not pretend TO say that my premises are pre-
esely or even very nearly correct-but am very

10 the canal. For do not believe that 10 miles
are completed, and expect more than $ 100000
have been expended Ifit is urged that the expert
lence which is daily accruing, will deminish the
Charges as the work progresses, l readily allow
the assumption to be uue-but on the other hand,
the increase of Typographical difficulties Us the
mountains are approached will restore the calcna-
ton toits original limits. (These desultory and
crude reflections submitted by one, who has the
honor and interests of Virginia as much at heart,
as any oue but who is DESTROYS of seeing this ques
ton fully understood, before the capital and reputa-
ton of the state are finally embarked in it.

Tyler's bill reported from Select Commute,
directing the contributions made for the erec-
ton ola monument TO Gen. Washington, TO be
placed out at semannual interest, until a fund
sufficient for the accomplishment of the object,
shuld be accumulated. The bill after much
discussion was finally passed by large majori-
ty. The present amount of the fund is some
thing upwards of $4,000, and it is supposed that
by the shaving process authorised by the bill, it
may amonnt IN 10 years, 10 sum competent to
the object. Whether Gen. Washington would
have approved of this mode ofraising money, Is
doubted by some.
