ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 18th, 1851.
DEAR WHIG:-How liable are the brightest
antcipatons 10 remain unrealized. The issue
of the recent gubernatora canvass, furnishes
fresh evidence of this Our own noble Sum
mcrs is defeated. The "IIesperus" of Whir
hopes, is again "luenchcd in the occidental
damp" and the Old Dominion is destined to
ambie on yet longer under the auspices of Loco
focoism.
Who shall "deliyer us from the body of this
death - 1t appears that "Ephraim is Joined to
his IDOLS" yet we will moi .let him alone" We
will continue to exercise our energy, with hope
that there dang les in the future an epoch, in the
which she will rid herself of the long accrueing
encumbrances Of Locofocoism, and stand erect
and dignifed, exhibiting all the beautiful pro-
portions which characterize an embodiment of
pure Wing principles.
The great Hungarian is one of the most alb.
sorbing themes with us here. All are intensely
eager to have ocular demonstration of his physi-
ognomy;
'Expectation stands on tptoe''
The original Resolution, without addition or
satisfaction, extending a cordial welcome to
him, passed the U. S. Senate; and has gone thro'
the House without having encountered swell
or ripple.
This methinks is as it shouldsbe. Kossuth
will meet with very cordial reception here;
big sympathetic response. But, as some init
male, tho | think they reckon without their
host, il he expects US to ''takc up arms against
his sea oftronbles," he "sees thro' glass dark
w." We will do everything but that.
The weather here now Z fytremplr cOlI. m
thinks ii will compare favorable with New En-
gani The fast accommodating clouds too, all
tnish MS tlai The white blossoms from the
aereal 'spampas' will soon lie
''ln rich profuson DER the mould.''
Christmas will soon make his entree upon our
sphere; and the minature-men arc beginning TO
anticipate him already by the torpedo explosions,
powder crackers, SC. They are laying the s.hat-
tering JUNCTION" TO their souls, doubtless, that
they will be the recipients of some charming
presents; and their spirits are buoyed 10 the very
acme of felicity BY the expectation. Is it not
true, the brightest show" that gi,lrns within
the circumference of existence, spans the hori-
ION of the heart of youth?
ooh would were boy again!''
As the population of our town increases, the
scoundrel; likewise increase; and their mischiev-
v, III
incendiarism, &c. 1t was stated some time
since that a band of villains had left the city of
N. York, for the South and il would seem as if
we had attracted the most of them, from the
dark deeds, that are so frequently enacted among
us. But they cannot always escape. There is
u moment oscilating not far in the future when
they will have to "rise and come to Judgment"
The "Orange g. Alexandria Railroad is pro-
crossing finely; great numbers ofpassensers are
conveyed over it daily to Fairfax c. H., War
renton Depot, &c.
The "Bank the Old Dominion will soon
be completed. 1t is splendid building. One
Of the finest specimens of architecture in this
town. The spirit Improvement is still vieor-
Gus. In almost every direction noble edifces
are beginning to tower towards the blue. The
star Of Alexandria is rising higher and higher
in the horizon. More anon.
Yours truly, BEN BLooMER.
Ex-GovERNoR MoREHEAp, of Ky., it
is said will be Mr.. Claws successor in
the U. S. Senate, should he resign his
seat, as it is supposed he will do.
