Mr.. George Wattefson, Secretary oi
the w. N. NJ. s., proposes that each
voter ut the next Presidential election
give five cents or a dime, to d fund,
the object Of which Is to buy back The
Tomb Of Washington at Mount ver-
non.
Certainly If there be any sacred
spot in the land that should not be
made the subject Of barter, the shrine
Of Washington, is it. The selling Of
Mount Vernon is dark page IN the
history Of The model Republic one
for which without any prophetic
foresight on our par.--tlie nation will
be made to weep at an early period
What does it say for civilization and
refinement 7 How does II contrast
with the acts Of "the miserable race Of
sayages" as we are pleased to call them,
that Have been driven from their
legal inheritance' For shame, cry
we, to every American citizen; and ye
over-stoekedw patriotism Yankees,
who are busy from day to day getting
up tonbs and monuments on specula-
ton, where were yoli all when Mount
Vernon was sold to speculatorsl Go,

murdered Indian; ye monument loving,

there was sentiment Of poetry in his
breast when he raised his tomahawk
to protect the tomb Of his ancestors.
Where is this sentiment in the

by the Pope, a Priest Of the Roman

next, in obedience to a call from Mr.

cratic State Central Cohventicn, a
Injecting Of Democrats will take place
--Mohdss i the first, Sunday is the
last, and 30 we traee ourselves back TO
wherc wc actually ARE.
We learn that many Bankum

banners, will be brought into requisi-
ton on that day; aud Il has been pro-
posed By factioua friend Of ours
that the Extra Democratic Central

occurs TO us, that never before has
there been az many amhitioas old and
young gentlemen, as viii be marched
up to the Capitol on next Monday,
with palpitating hearts, for the vel.
fare Of the nation. We come 10 this
conclusion from a glance at any one
or All ofonr exchanges. That excel
lent paper published on Red River,
and called the Louisiana Democrat,
seems to have turned every thing else
out ofits columns, to give place to
mn. Error: You will please an
anounce'-We should say that there
will be full representation Of adele-
gates in the candidates who will be
marshalled from that regioh. The
Clinton State Paper, the Ca,ahoula
Democrat, and the Dewocret .At,ro-
cate are Ill groaning under the weight
Of candidates, presenting themselves
to the people. in the few laconic words
usually allotted to each.
We see a great many accounts Of
"Ward Meetings" and other meetings,
ihe major part Of which never had
any existenee--save in the newspaper
columns. tits very easy matter for
the wire-workersin the towns to get
up ward meetings in the country; all
that is wanted is the names Of the
'.scvereigns' IN the neighho,hood.
Well, We hope that the best men
win be chosen, and to ascertain this,
that the gusgc and the wind measur-
ing machine, Be applied 70 them.
