One object which Mr.. Ca,iin has in view, by the
exhibition, is to obtain such number of Subscribers
az viii authorize the pubIcadsn Of the picture We
believe it only TO be necessary for him to effect this
that The public shall SEQ the work.
We are no connoisseurs, nor ambitious Of being
80, or being thought 90; bot strikes as that
VHgnian who con afford 1t, ooght to have, and viii
have, copy Of this picture. The likenesses arc &C.
Morally faithful, and the celebrity Of many Of the men
and the high duties of the memorable occasion which
assembled them, must render the work in which
they nre grouped togeher and given the immortality
Of the canvass, extremely Interesting nov and still
more so as time elapscs.
Perhsps We should add. baving spoken thos partic.
ularly of Mr catlins picture, that by way Of giving
the finishing touch to its beauty, he has insisted upop
including both our pills and that Of our cnntempora
Try Of the Enquirer among tho portraits-eseh Of IN
noted for tho comeIiness Of hts features. We ban
the public to understand, that this arrangement vas
not one Of our seeking and that we resisted until in.
formed by the artist, that he had left niche for us
ct the clerks table, that was too late to alter H.
and that his picture would DO incomplete without it.
We took the position from necessity and not vanity
the case doubtless Of many others.
TIE Public Li6ravy.-This institution, the growth
OF a fsw years, from spare and unpromising begin.
nings, is - has been truly observed, ga great favor

only wi them, but With every enlightened citizen.
Itstrusged into birth with the greatest difficulty, op
posed by the mistaken economy, which rstbor than

comparative darkness. Nov that it exists, lie utili
~ Is seen and felt, and it's tendency to smooth the
transaction Of public business, to expedite its pro-
gress and even to elevate the character Of the whole
Government by ready access to lonrned experience
and authority, IN obvious.
The first appropriation to tbs object consisted of
the proceeds Of 500 copies Of Henngs Statutes, and
the came number Of Law Reports To this fund, the
proceeds Of the sale Of the Map the State vas
