foundations of this great structure and securing the
work from injury during the winter months, the

be cut, preparatory to being set in the spring, in
rearing the obelisk which is to surmount these
foundations. Some Of these marble blocks measure
thirty cubic feet and pure white, without dis

and, when meeting the suns rays, brilliant to the
eye. The foundations for Ibis marble pillar are Of
solid masonry, eghty-one feet square at the base,
and twenty -four feet high-seveneen feet of which

in the public buildings sto the south it looks down
long reach of water the noble Potomac, terminal
ed by Alexandria and Fort Washington; and to
the west rise the picturesque highlands Of Potomac.

THE REWARD OF PAITHruLNEss

THE REWARD OF FAITHFuLNESS.
The Locofoco Convention held in this
place on last Saturday, committed nh net
Of great injustice towards ono Of tho oldcs,
and most industrious members Of their par
ty in the county. After having maho the
most positive assurances to A. LOGAN, Esq.
that he would DO nominated for the Office Of
Clerk ofCourt. when they met in Conven-
ton they--wi,h the exception of four with
drew their support from him and conferred
itupou Mr.. Pope, a gentleman already hold
ing ono office in the county.
Mr.. Logan for several years faithfully
served his party in this county in the capaci.
ty ofcdl,or, and now when in his old nge he
asks from their hands an Office, Tor which lie
Isemlnently qualified, they not only refuse
him but couple with the refusal insult. We
do not make these remarks from desire to
arouse Mr.. Lognn's resentment agains, his
party, but because he Inns been used in n
manner that should meet the condemnation
Of every right-minded man.
Since writing the above, Mr.. Logan has
handed in the notice which will he found in
another column, announcing himself IA IN
Independent Candidate for Clerk OF the
District Court.
