STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

The following description of the Statue
of Washington, by Mr.. Greenough, is from
a work now in press, by GEO. WATERS
Ton, entitled "A New Guide to Washing
ton" The author has confined himself to
a description of this work of art alone, and
avoided any criticism of its merits or de-
fects, as out of place in such work. 1t
is brief and we think correct:
THE STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
This statue was ordered to be executed
by Congress some years ago, and Mr..
GREENouGH, an American artist of ge-
MUS, was selected to execute it. For this
purpose he repaired to ltal Y, where suita-
BILE materials and greater facilities could be
obtained and, after devotng years to the
pleasing task which had been assigned
him, he completed the colossal statue which
now ornaments the Rotundo, and which
is to manifest the gratitude of the nation
to its illustrious benefactor. WASHINGTON
is represented of colossal size, in sitting
posture. His body is nude to the waist,
and the right arm and lower parts draped.
In his left hand he holds a sword, and
with his right points toward heaven. The
head and body are finely executed; the
likeness is admirable; and there is pocti-

THE WAY THEY WORK 1T.

The Loco Clique" about Fayette arc
generally given up to be pretty "cute chaps
in the management of the business of "the
party" We are rather inclined to think.
from certain symptoms-which are very
percoptiblc to any one who is acquainted
with the wire-workers and in the habit of
noticing-that everything is not working
exactly TO suit their notions.
They have had some little trouble in their
camp here: the plan has been not to let any
Of their prominent men be brought before
the People through the press, as has been
done in other parts of the State, but dis
countenance any thing of the kind as "br-
berry," and an attempt to cheat the people
by "bargain and intrigue;" hence the rabid-
ness of the Democrat towards Mr. Wright,
Mai Mcdaniel, Campbell and Phelps
These gentlemen, through the press under
their immediate control, and by the aid of
secret circulars, have so far gotten the start
of the "Fayette Clique" that they are be-
ginning to be little alarmed
The last Democrat contains communi-
cation in reference to the course pursued by
Mcssrs. Campbell and Phelps, and their or
gan, the Ozark Eagle. To any one who
was not acquainted with the writer of
that article, it would certainly appear that
he had no intention of becoming a candi-
date, or at all interfering any further than
seeing every thing done fairly and honestly
for the good of the cause. His preaching
now about the manner of conducting coun-
ty meetings, and his practice at the meeting
Of the Democracy of this county, will not
harmonic very well. But, if he or some
one of his friends in this vicinity, or him
and his friends both, don't out general their
friends in other parts of the State when
the Convention comes on, we'll acknowl-
edge ourselves deceived in them for once.
We are beginning to look forward to the
time of holding the Convention with good
deal of interest. There are five nominations
to be made out of about thirty-five aspi-
rants. The different counties, we believe
have made their selection of delegates to at.
tend the Convention, and the place of hold.
ing it only remains to be settled upon, and
then "look out and stand from under"
