From the Ne,p FORK american.

The following is an extract from the address
made by Mr. Calhoun on the 4th March, lsa5,
on taking his seat as President Of the Senate:
Sin fulfilling your important functions, some
thing will depend on the skill and impnriiahty of
the presiding officer. Inrgard to the former
can promise nothing. 1 am without expert
ence; which can only give the requisite skill in
presiding, and feel that must throw myself
on your indulgence. | shall, however, endea'-
our 20 compensate for the want of skill, by the
MOST RIGID 1Mp.RTl ANY! In this office shall
regard only the Senate and its duties, and |
shall strive with feeling of pride Tin the sta
ton trus. no, reprehensible) to preserre he
high character already attained by the Senate jor
dignity and ,c4sdom and 10 elerate 4! sthigher in
epubic esieem!!
Such were the professions OF the Vice Presl-
dent in the newness of his Eve mus! say, though
we then though, differently unmcrited honors'
How far he has redeemed the pledge then Civ
en-how far he has been impartial, (skilful he
did not promise to be, and he cannoe therefore
be held responsible for failing in what he did
not undertake)-how far in the discharge OF
his official duties has he looked 10 the Senate
alone, its duties and its dignity-how far he
mas succeeded either in preserving or adding
to. the high character of the Senate, we will
leave to the records Of the past session, and to
the Indictment of the honorable and impartial
among his fellow citizens to determine.

AEsHX AND&9As
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 26. 1926.

We remind the citizens Of Alexandria, that
Mr.. BRYAN will deliver bis Address, Tor the De-
neht of the BosroN BARD, at Eve O'Clock tins
afternoon. 1t may be proper to state, since we
know the fact. that i, is not Mr.. Bryan's inten-
ton to make collection, but merely to promote
the subscription to Mr. Collins Poems, which
are now in the press,
Mr.. Noah, the editor of the n. York Nation
al Advocate, acknowledges the receipt oil
letter from Christian Roslius and James Work
man, Esqrs New Orleans, enclosing as COM
mittee, check for 100 dollars, for the relief OF
Robert S. Coffin, the Boston Bard.
On Wednesday last we published the late act
Of Congress further to amend the Charter oil
the Town Of exandria; and we add to-day an
act Of the Virginia Legislature, TO establish
Turnpike Road, from Wiley's Tavern in the
County of Fairfax to the line Of the District
Of Columbia, and an act of Congress authorising
the continuation Of the said road to the town OF
Alexandria The Importance which we at
,ach TO these laws, may, perhaps, be greater
than they deserve; but we are sanguine in the
belief that they contain redeeming spirit,
which, if properly called into action, must inc
vitality rescue US from the impending danger
of a ruinous apathy. We have more than once
remarked that the Citizens of Alexandria have
hitherto relied, too much, on their natural adj
vantages, and consequently left to time wha,
nothing but energetic enterprise was capable
of accomplishing. That policy seems now to
be getting into disrepute, and in proportion as
it loses friends, our hopes Of resuscitation IN
crease.
The day has gone by when the Town could
safely rely upon the operations Of Stock Com
nanies. Individual wealth has been vested in en-
,erprises, from which il cannot now be safely
drawn. and if il could, it would not be adj
,;s,ble-as the burthen would bear too heavi-
" on the ,vilhng, while the un'c'il'ng would
nsrticipate equally in the advantages. he
prosperity of the town concerns us all, from
the wealthiest property holder to the most h'm-
Bile laborer, and as each expects to derive ben
eft from public Improvements, so each should
be required to contribute in the ratio OF his IN
terest. This can only be done by eqltable tax
Is, and for ourselves we care not how heavy
the tax, so the money be expended for the good
of the whole.

The gratitude of the American People to
the distinguished Statesman and Philosopher,
whose name is inse1arable from the glory OF
his country, is nlanifesting itself in every Sec
ton Of the Union. Among other evidences we
find that an adjourned meeting Of the Citizens
of Charleston, South Carolina, was held al
their City Hall on the 18th irst. to receive the
report Of the Committee appointed at pre'i-
Gus meeting TO devise measures for relieving
the pecuniary embarrassments OF THOMAS JET,
PERSON. The following Preamble and Resolu-
tons were presented by the Committee, and
unanimously adopted:

ton, and respectfully report The following re-
solutions, viz
Resolved. That we consider the fame OF lHo-
MAS JEFFERSON, the distinguished statesman,
Patriot and Philosopher, as the en'iaole pro-
ner,v of his country, and that 1t is the high and
es,imable privilege of his fellow-eitizens 10
smooth the decline Of life, which has been
devoted to their service, by every grateful re-
turn in their power.
Resolped. In the opinion Of this meeting that
II would be affrontive to the People, who can
have but one sentiment on this subject, to take
any measure conducive 10 the great object con-
temrlated, without afforGing to all an oppor'u-
nity Of participating, and
As the Committee confidently believe that
the difficulty of CARRYING into effect the views
of the meeting lately convened for that purpose,
will be in limiting, not in extending the amount
10 be contributed, they deem ii important TO
recommend certain regulations subsidiary 10
this end:
Therefore, Resolred, lst. That the Scheme
shall be transmitted to every district and pa
IRISH in the State, that the Citizens thereof, may
at as early day as will suit their convenience,
afford their aid TO this grateful service
.. That no citizen shall be permitted to pay
more than FIVE dollars towards this object, so as
by the universally of the proceeding, to ldentl-
fy it with the Nations feeling and character.
5. That ii be recommended, thata Committee
be appointed in each District, promptly TO COR
respond with the Committee in Charleston.
4. That it be recommended to the General
Meeting, to appoint Committee to correspond
and freely confer with the Committees Of the
several States and Cities, on this delicate sub
iect, so as to devise such means as will without
offending) evince the love, veneratioa and gra-
titude of the Nation.
S. That Subscription Papers be opened and
deposited in the several Banks in the City, inyi-
ting all the Citizens to contribute, and that
whenever sum sufficient shall be subscribed &
paid, the Committee hereafter to be appointed,
be authorized to invest the amount in Tickets

IN Irish Soldiers OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Maloney was private belonging to an Eng
lish regiment OF infantry, which happenedto
be stationed in Canada during the American
war At the distance OF two or three mlles
from the quarters OF the regiment, there was
an outpost, at which a sentinel was placed
One day, when it fell to Maloney's lot to be
empfoyed Oh this lonely service, an unex-
pected order arrived from head quarters
for the immediate departure OF the regiment.
Amidst the hurry and hustle usual on such an
occasion, nobody thought of relieving the
outpost; and there the poor Patlander was
left to starve with musket on hi shoulder,
or run the risk of being taken up and shot
as deserter. The feelings of hunger, how
ever, having at length got the better of his
sense Of duty, he returned to quarters with
out leave; and finding that the regiment
was gone, nobody knew whittier, he pro-
ceeded to farm house, and found employ
| ment as labourer. After lapse OF three
years, during which he lived very comfort
ably, his regiment came back ohis old quar-
! tiers. At first he was terrified at the idea OF
being taken for deserter; but that native
| ingenuity, which is sometimes whimscally
displayed by his countrymen, soon suggested
the means of exculpation. He put on his
soldiers dress shouldered his musket, and
took his station at the very outpost, where
he had been placed three years before. He
had been there scarcely hour, when cor.
poral, belonging to the regiment, with his
guard, approached the spot to station SEN
tinel upon it. The corporsl seeing it alrea-
dy occupied, cried out, " no the devil are
you-what regiment do you belong to-wht
sent you--itnd how long have you been here"
"OGh. then, replied Michael" you may wei
talk OF the devil, for sure none but the devi
himSclf would have kept guard so long; don
you know that some of you lett me here
years ago; that none you ever come to re
lieve me till this very nomeat; and hav'n
you now found me at my posts" The Hi
bernian was Immediately conducted to hi
lquarters. The commanding officer on hear
ling his story, received him with kindness
and the adventure formed a subject Of mer
riment for some days after.

There is no temper SO generally indulgent
