MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, n collecting Port ats Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior 20 any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recomme ndation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with TIE soul
Of the living countenance.
The dn wings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste 10 be fully
equal and in respects superior 70 those Of the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The typography win be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, rnade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in It's scope Il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them a. honorable
fame throughout the nation Each OF the great de-
partments Of life wIll have its Representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery Is intended 20 be worthy and enduring mon
ument 10 the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend Of glorious nion will respond TO our ap-
peal for encouragement and aid IN so conmendahe an
undertaking, that is publication may mako ora IN
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
nlustrious men Of the Union together consolidate Il
still more firmly
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and tho prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond The reach Of most Of citizens the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution OF
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings Of the two Houses Of Congress, D
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be.
fore the first day Of December next.
IL is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension OF the Capitol
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south Of the present building, or by the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east Of the building.
The committee do not desire TO prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise OF
| architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building as TO preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted, the com
mitee TO themselves the right TO form such
plan by the adoption Of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found neoessarV in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own Judgment, the amount of premium TO
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit OF each part adopted

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA,
AZ the loio price Of ONE DOLLAR per a,,n,sn,
5 the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily

news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUeH r. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
II is designed to make il equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope TO merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their felow-citizens.
lhey enter upon no mere speculation irStheir en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions sbaped
merely TO catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men, Their
defence of Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremltting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is TO presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
| know 1t to be impossible.

time or under any circumstances, nominated rs
a WHO candidate for any ofioe, or voted for
by Vino constituent. We do think that, Of
all the unblushing attempts Of Democracy to
saddle Whiggism with Objectionable psrti-
sans, the most impudent is this effort Of the
Union to hold the Wines Of Massachusetts,
in any wise responsible for Mr.. SUMNER.
We apprehend that man who has never re-
ceived nomination for the humblest office
from VINO convention, and who has never
been openly recognised as a member of the
VINO party, and who is elected Senator by
Democratic votes, can never be proved to be
SO much Of WING as to prove very serious
injury to the Vino party.
These are the instances" on which the
Union relies to show that the DEMOCRATS are
more national' than the WHIGs. How does
the account stand when it is analysed and
balanced?

Convention OF Southern Rights Associa-
tlOna.


This body assemblies to-day, and will meet
for organization at the Military Hall, Went
worth street, at 4 o'clock this afternoon. A
large number Of delegates had arrived up to
Saturday evening, and it is believed there will
be delegations from every association in tho
State. The importance of the convention has
been recognised abroad, and general interest
attracted to its session, as il here were to be
looked for the opinions and determination of
South Carolina on the greatest issue that has
been made since the Revolution. We have a
letter from Burke county, Georgia, Of the 30th
April, stating that the Southern Rights Asso-
citation Of that county were to convene on Sat-
urday last, to appoint committee Of visitation
to be present during the deliberations of the
"Carolina Convention Of Associations" They
will, we are sure, meet with warm welcome.
This convention, we feel deeply convinced,
may be the instrument Of great good. Not only
every part Of the State will be represented, but
the men of weight, and experience, and force,
have been selected to degree that ensures to
the body as great an amount Of ability as has
perhaps ever been gathered in one assemblage
Of South Caroln4 representatives,. Hence, il
its deliberations shall be no directed as to COM
bine the moral and intellectual power Of all or
a great majority Of its members, the effect up
on public opinion elsewhere, and, still more,
upon the feelings, selfconfidence and hopeful de
termination of the State will be great and lasting.
