Daily American telegraph. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1851-1852, 1852-02-26

A letter from Hartford, Conn, shows that Mr.
Barnum is redecming his pledge to canvass Con-
necticut in support Of the Maine law He Ia
speaking every day, and often twice day, in ex-
position and defence ofthat vital measure Of pro-
lection to public morals, social prosperity, and
individual happiness. The " Tribune remarks
that they who say that he has some sinister view
that he is scheming to disorganize and defeat
this or that party-know better. His sole, sim
pie, plainly avowed object is the Punishment Of
the liquor traffic, and SO for as possible, of all in
toxicating beverages, from the soil of his own
State If this should damage his own party, he
would doubly regret it-frst, for the partys sake,
and next, that it should be possible to damage
the party of his CHI dice by making men sober and
banishing intemperance from the land. But his
present warfare is with rum, and with no politi-
cal party whatever. He has not calculated whe-
ther it will help one party or the other, nor does
he mean to. He is at work for the Maine law,
and nothing else.
The fight will go on, the /" Tribune" adds, until
rum influence shall be banished from our politics
and rum itself from the warehouses and store
rooms of legalzed and tolerated traffic. This
may require two, five, ten years, or even more |;
it cannot require more than it shall freely have
The struggle may damage one party, or the other,
or both; it will, we suppose, temporarily disor-
ganize ours the most, since of the two parties the
Wing is less docile to party drill, and more te-
nacious of moral considerations. That, however,
is no reason for Sinking the contest, but rather
for finishing it as soon as possible. If the re-
preston of rum-drinking shall damage either
party, it cannot do so too soon nor too fatally.
Give us the Maine law!

The Baltimore American says Of this pro-

orator and the man Of letters, the strength of a
vast intellect and the culture Of education, are
exhibited In harmony most graceful and grand
In this the most admirable Of Mr.. Webster's ora
tons"

adds, ain saying, as the expression Of an opinion
which has all the force Of conviction, that this
production Of the great Secretary is to be regard
cd, taken rs whole, and in its beginning, middle
and end, as the abest and best Of all his efforts
heretofore given to the public. 1t is not only of
massive structure and colossal proportions but it
has grace and elegance and beauty to render to it
their choicest adornment. We can catch from
its inspiration, as Americans as sons Of the re-
public, the glow Of a nobler patriotism than any
which mere national vanity could inspire. The
inheritors Of antiquity, the hope Of the present
age the guardians and trustees Of the fortunes of
future generatons--we, as people, have destiny
aud duty assigned TO MS, in the order Of Proyi-
dence, such as no other people were ever called
10, and which can find no parallel to its glory ex-
cept in the awe which pertains to its response

Georgetown and It's Affairs.
GEoRaErowN, Feb. 26--12 .

dkOh0kIOWN, req. Zo-~-lz m.
Mr. W. H. Tenney, one Of our enterprising
merchants, has been engaged for several days
past in forming company to purchase and re-
pair the Union Hotel, which has been for some
time modification to our whole community by
remaining SO long in dilapidated condition.
We understand that he has agreed with the heirs
of the late Col. HUMPHREYS upon price for the
property, and proposes to raise $40, 0OO in shares
of 300 each-one-ffth to be paid down, one
fifth for repairs, and the remaining three-ffths
in one, two, and three years. Already seventy
shares have been taken, and there remain thirty
shares yet for sale. There will be meeting Of
the stockholders, and others who may wish to
take stock, in the Council Chamber, tomorrow
night, at half-past seven o'clock We suggested
more than once, through the Telegraph" last
summer and fall, such move; and have no
doubt had it been taken hold of then in the same
spirit and by the same individual that now has
| the matter in hand, it would before this have
been bought, repaired, and occupied. If Mr..
Tenney succeeds, land we have no doubt that he

gratitude of every citizen of our town.

Stanley,s Gallery OF Indians.

We enjoyed the high qualification yesterday OF
visiting, at the Smithsonian Institution the beau
tful and extensive collection of Indian Portraits
and Scenes from the pencil Of the gifted Stanley.
We had anticipated pleasant treat, and our ex-
pectations were more than realized. The exhibi-
ton is of magnificent character The portraits
combine the highest excellence of artistic execu-
ton with great faithfulness Of deneation. There
are above one hundred portraits of the larger
class, and perhaps fifty of minor proportions.
But these pictures are not alone interesting as
objects of curiosity and admiration They are
eminenty suggestive of the history, the charac-
teristics, and the inevitable fate of tho red man
of the West.
We enjoyed the pleasure, also, of an interview
with the artist himself. Mr. Stanley is yet young
in years. though his experience in the rude scenes
of the South and West has been most ample
Ten consecutive years Of his life have been ex-
clusively devoted to travels among the Indians
and the prosecution of the great design he has
now so nobly achieved. He showed to us the
first painted picture in his series, and remarked,
eff had then known the extent of the task.
had assumed, the adversely, the privations and
the fatigues to which I was to be exposed and
the frequent dependencies that were to come
over me, should no longer have prosecuted the
work upon which had embarked. He wandered
from scene to scene alone, after encountering not
only the severest privations, but such perils as
man of feebler resolution would have shrunk
from in terror ~,
Mr.. Stanley has brought his collection to the
capital of the United States, to be witnessed by
hundreds and thousands of those who are capable
of forming correct estimate of the faithfulness
of his deneation. As soon as he exhibited them
in the Atlantic Cities he was earnestly entreated
at to convey them to Europe for exhibition or
sale, where it believed his fortunes would be at
established: but his abors had been lightened
through many years by another hope--a hope
that at the national capital of his native country
praise and honor would await him and in this
he anticipated higher qualification than he could
possibly derive from any other source.
We think he is about to realize the fulflment
of these hopes. His gallery is now daily crowded
by multitudes of admiring spectators, and the
praise of his works is on every tongue We trust
that none of our city readers will omit the priv
lege within their reach, but that they will visit
this exhibition and participate in the pleasure we
have SO highly enjoyed. 1t is open free to all.
