the grave of "the Father Of his Country" To the
most of the members 1t was the first time and as
looked at these representative, Of large Church,
which had borne such important part Ia securing
our freedom reverently approaching the sacred spot
with uncovered heads and locking veneratingy even
on the sarcophagus which contained the ashes OF WASH

grimages ever made by patriotism TO the place. AS
wandered the fine grounds ant looked at SUCH Oh
ccs of interest there found to remind the visiter
of WASHINGTON, | could hear the remark made ire.
quently, Why cannot Congress get one inch beyond
the subject of bread and butter and to the
White House, Crafty the patriotism OF this land by
purchasing this beautiful spot and preserving Its relics,
rs nearly may b. for other agesf
Think the members may yet express their opinions on
this subject in the form of memorial The visit TO Mount

be carried out and that Is 10 have the General Assem-.
bly as such procure and TO be presented to the
Washnpttn Monument Association an appropriate
block for the Monument II will be alike TT and pafri
otc and will no doubt have Its influence.
On our return from Mount Vernon we visited Fort

ger to Congress in case OF invasions, but Imagine
their principal danger is from another direction.
ON Saturday afternoon the Clergy and Elders OF the
General Assembly waited on President FILLMORE Dr.
