tut tHe UIasgOW IImes,
Washington National Monument.

c. II. GREEN, ESQ.,, SIR:-It is generally
known that Monument is now being erect
ed at Washington City 10 perpetuate the
memory of GEoRcE WAsHINeroN, the Father
Of his Country. In magnitude and splen-
dor, it will be worthy ofthe truly illustrous
man whose pure life and deeds of unfading
glory it is intended to commemorate. Its
costliness will of course be proportionably
great, and large amount of funds are yet
wanting to complete it. As an auxiliary
means of raising fund for this purpose, it
has been proposed that an opportunity should
be offered to each voter at the approaching
Presidential election, to contribute one dime
or whatever greater amount he may think
proper, to this object; and Mr.. ELISHA
WHIrLEsEY, the General Agent of the
Washington Monument society, has COM
mended this plan. We intend to offer all
who may desire to make such contributions
at this place, the convenience of doing SO by
having suitable Box placed at the Polls to
receive them. One Dollar will entitle the
contributor to all the privileges of Member
ship in the WAsuINGToN NATIONAL Mon
UMENT SOCIETY; and for which he will re-
ceive DIPLOMA, combined with handsome
ly engraved illustration of the Monumental
Edifce. Those, therefore, who deposit ST.
in the Box, will wrap it in slip of paper
with their name, that the Diploma may be
sent for when the mon,y is forwarded
Those who contributes So, will receive a
larger and more splendid Diploma.
Among the gentlemen here, who have in
terested themselves to aid in carrying into
effect the design of the Washington Monu-
ment Society, l need but mention the name
of Rev. VIM. T. Lucky, who has kindly
volunteered his services in this behalf, to
assure the public that their donations will
be strictly and promptly attended to.
Is it too late to ask all the Townships in
our county to join us in this Iaudable under
taking? Tnos H. McKErN.

The Speaking at Fayette
THos. WHITE, Sec'v.

We bespeak a full attendance at the
speaking next Saturday, at Fayette. Mr..
Miller is one of the ablest speakers in the
State, and no one will regret the time. We
particularly want democrats, and those wings
who have been led to distrust him on vital
question, to attend. There are but few of
the latter, we know; but we ask them to
hear Mr.. Miller, and Judge for themselves.
The leaders of the Democratic party have
placed him in false position, and the efforts
of afew pretended wings have strengthened
the SANDERS of the opposition. Go and
hear him in bis own defence, and then Judge
him.

St. Louis Correspondence of the Times.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. %, 1852.
ga great man is gone!" Is the exelama-
ton we hear on every corner of the street
as one passes along. Although the greatest
living Statesman had not "shalsen off this
mortal COLL" when the latest dispatch was
received from Boston, yet as that dispatch
stated, Mr.. Webster was fast sinking and
could not live more than one hour, we fear
that he has already passed away to the
spirit land. Thus within less than twelve
months have passed away two of Americas
greatest orators and statesmen. The eye
was but dried from weeping over the de-
mise of the lamented Clay, when again ma
TONS tears are to be poured forth at the
tomb of our much loved, long honored Web
ster. At such an hour, when party aspi-
rants and political feelings are forgotten,
the heart of every patriot must feel sad, and
there is a feeling of great sorrow and regret
that such men must follow the ordinary
course of frail mortality. Could the pray
ers of thousands at this hour be heard, the
spirits of Clay and Webster would again be
brought to earth and connected with physi-
cal frames whose durability would be cock
tensive with time itself. Butt becomes us
to bow meekly to the will of Providence and
pray that the mantles of the illustrious
dead may soon fall upon shoulders worthy
to bear them.
Hon. Edward Bates is to address the
Young Mems Democratic Wing Association
al the Rotunda this evening. We shall nc
doubt have an address worthy of the occa-
sion and the man, and one that will tell with
good effect throughout the country.
An adjourned meeting af the Burlington
Rapids Convention is to be held in this city
on Monday next. The Burlington Conven-
ton you will remember, was held in Iowa
about twelve months since, for the purpose
of taking steps to secure the removal of the
obstruction to navigation in the Mississippi
known as the Des Moines, or Rock River
Rapids. The petition that went forth from
that meeting secured an appropriation from
Congress for the removal of these rapids
and now the additional work of getting ap.
preparations for the removal CT instructions
at the mouth of the Mississippi is TO be ac-
complished. If anything of interest occurs
in this convention it shall be reported.
The procession of the Young Mems Dem.
ocratic Wing Association is now moving
towards the Court House, and we of course
must stop short and join the ranks. Before
closing however we must add that, notwith
standing the unfavorable reports that have
come in from Ohio. there has been Whie
gain of ten thousand, and the prospect fol
carrying the Buckeye State for Scott i.
rather fattering. Yours, F.

WINGS, STAND TO Your ARMs.-Our
accounts from reliable sources in all parts
of the State, says the Cincinnati Gazette,
assure us of the confidence of the Wings in
their power TO carry the Buckeye State for
Scott and Graham, and their firm determi-
nation to exert that power to the utmost to
effect SO desirable an object. That is the
right spirit, and that resolution acted up to,
will give us the majority. We have gained
largely in the popular vote, and when old
Chippewa himself is on the track, we
must inevitably succeed, if we do our
duty. This is no time to give way.
Let us rally as one man, renew our
work diligently, and with will. DO this,
md W must succeed.

Provisions AND HoGs.-We hear OF no
movement in provisions but remark that all
the leading markets continue dull. The fol-
lowing extract of a letter from commercial
house in New Orleans cfthe 9th inst, shows
the state of that market:
"We regret to be compelled TO advise a
very dull market for all descriptions of pro-
visions, and for pork material decline has
taken place-dealers retailing mess at $l9.
Some 800 barrels have just come in from
New York, for which the highest price Of
fered is $40. There is no demand for bacon
sides, clear or ribbed, and although we
made every effort 10 close them on the
levee, we only succeeded in selling two
casks at loc. The balance are in store"
Hogs are quiet, and we hear of no sales
in addition to those we quoted few days
since. About 10000 have been offered at
DC from the hooks, but not taken. The i'm
preston prevails that the number of hogs
this season will be fully equal to the last,
and spectators and buyers assert that the
crop throughout the West will be the larg-
est ever known. On the other hand, drov-
ers and farmers in many sections of Ken
lucky are firm in the belief that the crop
will be short. The facilities in Louisville
for slaughtering and packing are perfect,
and more extensive than ever, and our pack
ers are prepared 10 pack 100000 hogs

Clay on the Result.



My friends, though l am much in favor
of the true Democracy of the country, am
not in favor of the course pursued by the
Baltimore Convention-they, the members
ofthat Convention, looked more to available
ty and based their chance of success on the
obscurity of their candidate, more than was
fair oil. honorable to the men composing the
party, or 10 the great leading Statesmen,
whose services and true merit entitled them
to preference. We may all judge from
the signs of the political horizon that there
is no good promised, as the result of this
unfair and unmanly proceeding. Nor do l
think that success under such circumstances
would at all benefit the country. Indeed |
would much rather the party should suffer
defeat, it would then learn that true Pa
triotiSm requires different course of con-
duct in its champions.

planted late, it was all saved before this

of tobacco would be nearly failure, but the
