GENERAL GAINES.

The Philadelphia Inquirer and Ledger, speaks
in high communication Of lecture delivered be-
fore the VIVA. Wort Institute, on the subject
of the national defence, by means of rail roads
and floating batteries, which, to use the words of
the enlightened protector 'FVOuld render our
JsIoved country inUuIIerGbls IN t0Gr, and enrich
it in times ofpeGce"
The General was highly applauded during
his speech, when Mrs. Gaines was requested to
continue the subject, and followed in an able ad-
dress on the sthOrT0rs Of toar," and says the In
quirer, ssneVer was more applause bestowedspon
a lady's efforts to contribute to the successful
vancement Of her husbands views-then followed
the closing remarks ofMrs. Gaines.
This subject has been the Generals hobby for
years, and events are rapidly bringing it more
before the public eye. When it GENES to be un-
derstOOd the wonder will be, that it should now
require an effort to make it popular.
Mr.. WEBsTER.-A writer in the Boston
Courier speaks thus of Mr.. Webster:--'In 1912,
or 1918, (says the writer,) Mr.. WEBSTER was
a member of large meeting in the state of
New Hampshire, when the rights of the states
were expressly recognized, asserted and conten-
ded for. And in speech, at large company
in the state of Ohio, in 1888, where dinner
was given to him, as he was passing through
the western country, he fully declares his opin-
ion in favor of state rights. His theory is that
Mr.. MADISON, that the general government
is partly federal and partly natiOnal-that the
powers not given to the federal government are
to the separate states, and belong only
o them to exercise; but that the powers clearly |
md expressly granted to Congress by the con-
ttution, and established by the people, 'for
he general defence and welfare, are to be ex-
rcised by the general government, for those
purposes; and that these powers and govern

istinct; and then there could be no discord or

The following authentic account of the ap-
pearance, and disposition of the body of
Washington in marble coffin, we find in the
Nav number of the Knickerbocker
The coffin containing the remains Of Wash
inoton was in the extreme back part of the
val1lt. and to remove the case containing the
leaden receptacle it was found necessary to
mt aside the coffins that werepiled upbetween
It and the doorway. After clearing passage
wav. the case which was much decayed,
land near which was found silver breast
plate, on which was engraved the date of
his birth and death) was stripped off, and the
lead of the lid was discovered to have sunk
verv considerably from head to foot; so much
so as to form curved line of from four to
five inches in its whole length. This frac-
tured part was turned over on the lower part
of the lid. exposing to view q head and breast
of large dimensions, which appeared, by the
dim light of the candies, to have suffered but
little from the effects of time. The eye
sockets were large and deep, and the breadth
across the temples, together with the forehead,
appeared of unusual size. There was no ap-
pearance of grave clothes. The chest was
broad, the color was dark, and had the ap-
pearance of dried flesh and skin adhering
closely to the bones. We saw no hair, nor
was there any offensive odor from the body.
A hand was laid upon the head, and instantly
removed the lead Of the lid was restored to
its place the body, raised by six men, was
carried and laid in the marble coffin, and the
ponderous cover being put on, and set in &C.
ment, was sealed from our sight on Saturday,
Oct. 7, 1887. ...

OUR CAUSE

Is gradually, but surely, spreading. Every
mail we hear from, every letter we receive,
bring proofs of its tenets being studied, and
its principles being embraced. From among
the bone and sinew of the land, our acces-
sions principally are obtained. This is what
we want they arc the people who, when
once they begin to think on subject never
let it alone, until they see its bearings; and,
when once they find them good, their whole
souls are enlisted in its success. We want
more means at our disposal to send out a
knowledge of our Association, and we will
then be sure of quick success. As it is, we
are vending our way slowly and safely, and
in q manner most cheering to our abors.
We. therefore, say to our friends-per-
severe-vour labors are not in vain. Let each
man endeavor to enlist his friends in the cause
get them to thinking about it, and, we
doubt not, their thoughts will get into the
right channel.
, In conversng with a very intelligent indi-
v;dnal not long since from the West, he in
formed us that there was foreigner IN his
State. who had boldly asserted that THIS coUN-
Yay SHOULD BECOME LIMITED MONARCHY.
He even went so far as to endeavor to discuss
this matter publicly but thanks TO the hon
estv and patriotism Of our native treemen, ne
was stopped in his career. And, how many
thousand foreigners are there now amongst
us. who hold the same congenial feelings, did
thew dare express them. How many are there
who would, did they dare attempt it, publicly
hold M to an American public their reasons
whv this country would be more likely t.
prosper under the sway of a despot, than I'm
der our own halowed form of Government!
Many, aye, many there are, who have such
feelings, but who dare not express them; and
who would, did they think there was any
chance Of success, strike the Moa0 that should
aoain cnslave lis forever. These facts call
.lond for our action. Eternal vigilance
;s the price of liberty" Then we would ad-
wise Americans to be wary, and slumbef not,
,,ntil the outposts of our Institutions are we'll
o,,arded from foes within and foes without !;
for thew are all around ns, even at our very
hearths. -,
The citizens of New Orleans have taken
a noble stand in the great struggle. They
ore determined to save our country, or die M
the breach. They have nominated ticket
for Congress and the Legislature of their State,
and seem sanguine of success. We doubt not
they will gain it and we believe there is viz
tue enough in Americans every where in this
lj,ion to do likewise, if they see the necessity
for it as they do in New Orleans. Our duty is
then, to pursue our course fearlessly, and warn
our countrymen Of their danger; and our Ia
hors will be crowned with success, and the
rectitude of our cause will be our consolation,
and the surety of our countrys freedom the
blessings of our posterlty. ...
