MEMORY OF WASHINGTON.

PEOPLE OF AMERICA!-Thirty-si yeav
have rolled away since the body of your
beloved Washington was consigned 70 Tho
humble sepulchre in which il now reposes.
The melancholy event threw the whole
nation INTO tears, and the determination
of your Representatives to erect monu-
ment to his memory, worthy of his .ubl;me
virtues, was, then, every where, hailed with
delight. But no memorial Of your ersii-
tude and veneration is yet visible. Tho
stranger and sojourner IN your country has
still TO ask where is the National Monu-
menf, sacred to the memory Of your illus
trious Washington. and dedicated to pub
lie and private virtue? Where shall look
for the evidence of the gratitude of the A.
mer,can People to the man who, under
Providence. made them what they aref
Alas! as National memorial is no where
to be fonnd.
Americans! Let not this generation paes
away before you prove to the world that
the memory Of your kloved Chief is still
held in veneraiicn, and his great virtues
end services still cherished in your hearts
that the cold neglect, SO long evinced,
shall TO longer disgrace tn. character Of
your country, and that you yet have the
patriotism and feeling which become the
Counfr. men of Washington.
Americans! You are now called upon,
perhaps for the last time, to respect your
own character and that Of your county,
by doing honor to the memory of him to
whom you owo 50 large debt Of gratitude.
A monument is about TO be erected under
:he direction Of a Society, established fer
that purpose, in the city which he selected
as the metropolis Of the nation, and whici
bears his honored name, BY the voluntary
contributions of the American People
The sum required from each il but small,
that each may ha We the honor Of contnbu-
TIN. to so nohle an object. That no one
may complain Of not having an opportunity
to share in the glory Of such an undertak-
ing, and 10 show the respect and gratitude
he feels, ali vii! be called on for their aid,
and from all. Old and young, male and fe-
male, that ala !. expected. With the ag-

time has come when the sigma of ingrafi-

How oft when wo the heart hath wrung,
Doth friendship show the dropping feather ;
But thou, old friend, hast ever chung
Most closely IN the stormiest weather:
When sunlight bathed my path in gold. me
Thou didst not share the joys which crowne
But when the changing world grew cold,
l felt thy warm embrace around me.
III.
Yet have oft, in graceless scorn-
How little did such scorn become me-
Vowed that thou vert not to be borne,
And rudely, rashly cast thee from me;
Oft have lain, in thee up-coiIed,
On the damp earth with night dew soaken,
And little rocked thy nap was spoiled,
So long as mine remained unbrokcn.
How many league, on sea and shore,
Have thou and together wendell;
II Pm no better than before,
Who can deny that thou art mendedl
And yet--the fact may not hide
Thou vergest 'vard thy dissolution:
Those dreadful stitches III thy side
Are running thy constitution.
Nv.
Thinner tbon growest day by day;
l grieve 70 see the course thou'rt taking -
Thy being hourly wastes away,
The thread BY which it hangs is breaking
Farewell, old friend. thy worth is KNOWN
Let the world jeer thine aspect needy,
Thy tears have been 80 often soun,
marvel not thou lOokest sseedy.'

A Jurenile Yankee Trick.-In the vii
Iace of New Bedford, (ssys The Providence
Herald,) the boys were in the habit of
playing at ball. A cross-graincd old chap,
who kept crockery store, was somewhat
annoyed by the juvenile sport; and when
lever a ball came in his way, would seize
upon il, take 1t into his store, and clap II
into his stove without ceremony. A few
days since, having made prize Of one Of
the offensive articles in question, and a.
dop,ed his usual course, he soon found
he had Caught Tartar A horrible ex
pIosion took place-the stove was blown
'sky-high'-the store was shattered by the
shock-and about forty dollars worth of
crockery was dashed in pieces! 1t IS I'M
necessary to add, that the urchins, who had
so often been interrupted in their spot by
'Soursops,' had charged their ball with
gunpowder, by way Of a practical hint to
the old fellow to let them alone in future.

old man was SO fond of the animal that he
was determined that even her death should
not separate them, for he had her stuffed

Suzette took down puss, she uttered an
exclamation Of surprise at finding her go

the old miser had starved himself TO amass,
became the Just reward OF the worthy girl
and her dislnterested lover.

Methodist BibIe Society.--We have
heretofore meniopced that the general con-
ference OF The Methodist Episcopal Church
had recommended the dissolution Of the
Bible Society connected with that church,
with, view, as we understand, Of uniting
all the energies OF that body with the A
meriean Bible Soc;t:y in circulating the
holy Scriptures. We are happy to state
that, agreeable to The Recommendation Of
the conference, the society has been dissol-
we'd, and arrangements are now in pro-
gress to carry forward the great work, in
accordance with the wish Of the highest ee-
cesiaslica! body of the Methodist EPsco-
pal Church. n. Y. Com. ADV.

Remarks OF MIR. Watson, on introducing his
amendment 10 the bill making appropriation
for surveys of railroads.
Mr. WATSON said, that in proposing the a.
mendment, he was actuated by no hostility 10
the provisions of the bill on ihs table. Tvs
senate, he said, could rccur to the tsi, that
various memorials had bean presented to tar
senate, praying FOR a survey on both sides Of
the mountain, and he would take spon himself
TO say, that ;hoso petitions embodied names
of the highest iptellgeRee and .nnbljG.sMrit.
alton, 10 present the amendment to the senate.
The bill as il now stood, contemplated an sb-
Jet entirely local in its interests and eject.
The fact was we'll understood that thste was
little identity or connection in the business in
commercial relations OF the sections Of the
state, divided by the mountains, He vas un-
willing to administer to, or cherish feelings
of local hostility, or sectional prejudices; lat
be felt he should do injustice to the rights and
wishes OF his constituents, to silently witness
an appropriation OF The public munifGence 10
local purpose, in which they had no interest,
and the application for their own benefit, de-
MED and disregarded. Their interest would
be better promoted by an appropriation to sur
yey route 10 NE Hudson river or Lake Cham-
plain. He believed he could say, without
contradiction, that no other section of tho
state possessed higher capabilities and re-
sources than the county he represented, or
that could be more conveniently benefited by
the contemplated public improvement He
hoped the liberollty of the state would be dis
pensed with hand Of equal and exact justice.

He had desired nothing more nor less by
the amendment he had proposed which had
been almost unanimously adopted, than TO
bring the question TO definite point, and
by the simple answer Of yea or nay, TO give
the opinion OF The Senate OF Vermont, on
the subject Of slavery as it existed in the
national district, and no where else. The
resolution day after day, and week after
week, had lain upon the table; the sub

this, could not be unprepared for the final

A BRIEF and well digested volume of the "A Reports Of the Superior Court of this Territory, will be valuable, not only to the Bench and the Bar, but to every man in the community, who has any thing to do with Courts of justice. To Justices of the Peace particularly, 1t would be most useful, as fixing the common principles of statutory, as well as common law, by which they must necessarily be guided, or prejudice the interests Of the people It is not probable that our statute law will be much changed for many years to come, and there IS no method of making the decisions of Courts uniform and consistent, half so available and effectuai as pnblica- ton from time to time of the Reports of the Court of Errors and Appeals.
