Of the whole on the state Of the Union.
! Mr.. Salonstill said this was the birthday
of Washington. There were but two great
anniversaries in our country, one OF the
birthday of the nation, and the other of him
to whom we are indebted more than TO
any other individual for the liberty and Sc
curly Of the country both which should
. be held in sacred remembrance by every
lover of freedom. This day ought 10 be
devoted 10 the considerat ion OF the public
services and civic virtues of Washington.
and they would come back tomorrow
much better prepared 10 perform their pub
lie services.
On his motion, the House then adjourned.
A number of the English aristocracy. both
male and female, have originated 10 America.
We are able to instance but few, though
there are many more the the English mobiles
who directly or indirectly have descended
from Americans; and many Americans, now
plain and sterling republicans, who can trace
their lineage back TO some proud peerage Of
the British Kingdom.
Lord yndhurst, the High Chancellor Of
England, was born in Boston, Mass. The
Marquis of Normandy, and tie young noble.
man now travelling in this country under the
title of the Earl of Mulgravc, is descended
from VIM. Phipps, the son of plain farmer
on the banks of The Piscataqua, now the state
Of Maine.
The celebrated circumnavigater, Lord An
son, whose capture OF so many Of the Spanish
galleons obtained for him the title Of 'Freeboot
ing Anson,' once was an inhabitant Of Charles
ion, S. c. where his name is still given 10
street and burgh, viz. Ansonburgh- The
distinguished Admiral, Sir Charles Wager,
was Newport, r.. ! boy. Another Admiral,
Sir Isaac Coffin, was born at Nantucket, Mas.

Chas Carroll, of Carroltoa, and The daughters
of Mrs. Catron of Baltimore, are married 10
Peers of the United Kingdom; one to the Mar

ling,on, and formerly Governor General Of In,
dia; another 10 the Marquis of Carmaerhen;
We do not recollcct the title of the third. Lord
Ashburlon, the special envoy from the Court of
ST. James, and who was in this country al the
time when Louis Philippe was here, and met
the new King of the French in the western part
of the state of New York, the one going 10,
and the other returning from The Fails of Nj
agara, married Miss Bingham Of Philadelphia.
AT the South, particularly, there are many de.
scendants of the ancient families of Great Brit
ain, and within hundred miles of this place.
are immediate or collateral descendants of the
Duke OF Argyle, the Earl of Cromartie, Sir
John Yermans, Sir Thomas Smith, Bart. &C.
&c. We mention these facts, merely 10 show
how Blended are the ties between the old and
the new country; for the Revolution stamped
purer ard better patents of nobility, than any
creation of Foreign Kings, if We have ar.
istocracy at all, born of the blood and throes of
a great people casting off despo:ism. and as
seriing independence. The humblesi soldier
of Bunker Hill or Yorktown is deorer to the
American people than all the starred and gar
tered and titled mobiles of Europe. Yet we re-
specl rank when coupled with goodness, and
we honor those whom their king or country
have honored for real and exalted merit.-Sa-
