The Secretary of War, OH. Barbour
has suggested plan. which we think es-
sen,ia to a correct estimate of public O.
,;,ion. The various Commuters in the
different towns should meet and c9rrss-

views. g. the effect will doubtless be- such as
I'VE have right to anticipate from the
hiah- minded and liberal character of the
American people. We would suggest that
Washington City he made the centre of
communication, and that James Barbour,
ESD. who feels so lively an interest and
has exhibited such laudahle zeal in behalf
of Mr.. Jefferson, be addressed on the sub
iectbv the Chairmen of the different Com
mitees, with view to the union Of pub
lie sentiment. We had reason 10 hope,
from the proverbial nobleness & generosity
of Mr.. Barbour, that he would not shrink
from the performance of a duty of this
kind, even if he had not voluntarily Offer
ed his services. We rejoice that he has
made this offer, as there is but one mode
of concentrating public opinion. The
Chairmen of the different Committees
should at once open correspondence with
him and, by this means, the drawing of
the Lottery may yet be prevented. Ne
sincerely hope that enough money may
have been raised to obviate this necessity
that enough has been contributed to pay
off the debts of the man whose services

fess properly TO appreclate-whose death
We have commemorated with the loudest
expressions of grief-and whose memory
We profess to revere, while we hold up his
character as a model for imitation.

Though we have not heretofore exchang.
