JAMES c. PlcKErr, Editor and Publisher.
The MoNuMENr is intended to be literary, ag-
ricultura, and miscellaneous paper. II will con-
tain select portions of the literature Of the day
the best that can be found in American and Euro
pean publications.; interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news
synopsis Of the proceedings of Congress, and
every thing that such journal might be expected
to contain, with the exception of party politics,
which will be at all times most vigorously ex-
cuded.
The MONUMENT will be published for the ex-
press and the sole purpose Of aiding in the cree
ton of the noble column now rising on the bank
Of the Potomac, in honor Of the Father of his
Country and which every one who venerates the
name OF WASHINGTON, would rejoice to see COM
pleted. After deductng out of the subscription,
the expense of the journal proposed TO be publish
ed, the remaining funds will be faithfully applied,
and without reserve, to the purpose indicated
The aid therefore, of all who are willing to con-
tribute to so patriotic an object, and one entire
ly national, is earnestly requested. BY subscrib-
ing to the MoNUMENT, valuable journal at a low
price may be obtained, while it will be doing
something, at the same time, towards completing
that majestic memorial of the Nation 8 gratitude.
The board of managers recommend Mr.. Pick
EFT, formerly Fourth Auditor ofthe Treasury and
Charge d'Atfares to Peru, who proposes to edit
and publish the Monument journal, as one well
qualified to perform the duties of editor, and to
conduct the paper, faithfully, and satisfactorily to
the subscribers. They assure their felow-citi-
zens that this enterprise is not speculation got
up for individual emolument. Mr.. Pickett will
make the experiment with his own and at
his own risk, and, if successful, he will receive
nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than q
very moderate compensation for his services. Not
dollar, therefore, Of the direct subscription to
the erection Of the Monument will be, in any
| event, applied to the support of the paper, nor
the society in any manner held pecuniary respons-
be.
To give the public an idea of what may be done
with the journal il is proposed TO publish, it may
be stated that list of fifty thousand paying sub
scribers at two dollars each, will yield an annual
net profit OF from fifty to sixty thousand dollars.
The post masters, and secretaries of all organ
lied bodies throughout the Union, respect
fully requested to act agents in obtaining sub
scriptions for this Journal thus aiding the great
object Of our exertons.
As all editors and publishers, on account of the
object for which the Monument newspaper will
be established, must wish il to succeed it is hoped
that they will contribute to its success by publish
ing this prospectus.
Ill moneys ioiH be remifted, and all letters and
communications addressed prepaid, TO the General
.9gent Of the Monument Society, Hon. ELISHA

Nj. Xavies a lsturiz, the Spanish ambassador
in London, had addressed to the London Jnries
long statement, purporting to be an exact ac-
count of the occurrences in Cuba, up to the 9th
of August, and denying most of the allegations
made by the correspondents of the American
press in Havana.
rsThe London corn market was steady at the
prices previously reported by the last packet.
AT Liverpool there was u good demand for
cotton, with prices very firm. The sales on the
18th instant amounted to 10000 bales. Prices
on the 9th were of penny higher.
The accounts of the state of trade in the
provinces showed that increased confidence was
felt at Manchester, consequent upon steady pur-
chases, and the mere settled condition of the
Liverpool cotton market. Birmingham was busy,
and showed signs of uninterrupted prosperity
The English money market remained easy,
and mercantile affairs were without change. The
English funds had been subjected to slight
speculative depression. The long talked Of
Austrian loan for S5OO00 900 forms or FL
100000 sterling, had been definitely announced
and the subscriptions were to be opened in VI
emma, Paris, Amsterdam, &c., from the 9th to the
9th inst. No part of it would be taken in
London.

sy- The Republic has quoted recently some
of the most ettravagsnt positions of the French
agnarians aud socialists. Their doctrines amount
to denial Of the right of property and the insti-
tuition Of property And the Republic regards
shs as destructive and revolutionary doctrice.
But the late compromise is fatal to the insti-
tuition Of property M any Of the French dogmnS
Before that compromise was adopted, the South
had au equal right to all the new terrtories.--
That compromise amounts TO complete abro-
cation of that right. Now, if under our Consti-
tuition and laws whole section can be deprived
of its rights Of property, We have already estab-
lished system Of ngrarianism as complete and
more practical than any of the schemes of
PRoupHos.

H- We observe that the New York Epen
ing Post, the organ Of the Free-soiers, quotes
with appreciation the efforts of the Washington
Union TO disparage the able and admirable let
ter of Mr.. PAULDrEG to the Southern Rights As
ISOLATION of South Carolina.
The Union has attempted TO be witty and to
be argumentative, in opposition to Mr. PAULD-
ING. Such is the condition of things to which
we have arrived, that an organ, conducted by q
Southern man, protesting to be Democrat, &C
tuaily attempts to disparsge one of the most
able and eloquent, yet moderate letters that have
appeared by Northern man ia defence Of the
Southland that man an ex-member Of Mr..
Vas BUREs's Cabinet and statesman without
reproach.
As for the attempt of the Union to be witty
or argumentative at the expense of Mr. PAuLD-
rso, it is only another OF those cases of the re-
belliou Of the ounces against genius and virtue,
which PorE has so happily illustrated.

EE" tits remarkable that although the North
has always been the navigating section of the
Union, the South has produced the great au-
thors Of our superiority in navigation.
RuMsEr, of Virginia, WAS the first protector
and inventor Of steam navigation. He was the
FIRST man on this continent to build and navigate
steamboat, and this was done on James river.
The next attempt was made by FITCH, on the
Deliwsre; and FULToN came after him on the
Hudson. FuLTos must have known and used
the plans of RuMsgy and FIrcH.
The South has also been preeminent in sail
ing vessels. The Baltimore clippers have al
ways been celebrated for their superiority over
other sailing vessels. And il now appears thai
the man who modelled the America, which has
beaten all the yachts of Great Britain, is also q
Southerner-Mr. GEORGE SEERs, Of this Dis
trict. Let Justice be done to the genius of the
South.

:5 Perhaps we have done Tennessee injus-
tice--or rather we may have done wrong to the
Democrats of Tennessee. We were under the
impression that they had ratified the compromise.
We are now informed on good authority, that
they did not ratify that odious measure. The
utmost they consented to was, that although the
compromise was gross wrong, they did not
think il warranted dissolution Of the Union.
Hence, they denounced the compromise, but
insisted on preserving the Union. The Wings
of that State defended the conpromise, and de-
clared it to be fair and just measure. The Wings
were victorious by a majority of about twelve
hundred votes in the governors election. Well,
the Democrats of Tennessee stand acquitted OF
indicating or supporting that odious measure.
We are glad of that. Time and events will not
only vindicate the Democrats of that State in
their opposition to the compromise. but will show
that such opposition was not sufficiently decided
and emphatic. -B0o
