To THE PEOPLE OF VIRaINIA.-As an election
will be held throughout the State Of Virginia on
the Goth instant, the Board Of Managers of the
Washington Monument have resolved that an APP
peal be made to the voters on that occasion, with
a request that contribution may be taken up at
the polls in each election district of the State in
aid of the great National Monument now being e.
rected in Washington in honor of the Father Of
his Country In complying with this resolution
feel that it would be entirely superfiuous to add
any thing to stimulate the patriotism or to increase
the yeneration and love of those to whom the me-
mory of Washington must ever be cherished and
held sacred. They cannot but feel peculiar pride
in doing honor TO one who by his birth and Illus
trious life has shed imperishable glory on their ma
tive State To manifest their respect, love, and
yeneration for him who was and ought ever to be
"frst in the hearts of his countrymen," another
opportunity will be afforded at the ensuing cleo
ton of contributing to the great Monument now
in the course of erection in his honor. For this
purpose the commissioners of election, sheriff. or
any other patriotic citizen who feels an interest in
the accomplishment of this noble object, are 70
spectuly requested to putup boxes at the respect
i've places where the election will be held to re-
ceive such contributions as may be made by the
voters and others so disposed, and transmit the Sc
veral amounts thus contributed to the Hon. r..
Whittlesey, General Agent of the Society. This
favor is respectfully solicited by the Board as an
act of patriotism and in honor of the ilustrious
Father Of his Country land especially as no agents
can conveniently be appointed to perform this graf
flying duty. GEO. WATTERSTON, Sec.
The respective journals throughout the State
are requested to publish the above.

Rnnrh os PUBLIC Works.

Two candidates for the Board of Public Works
IRE now before the people Of this District. 1t we
consulted our personal feelings solely, we should
give tho preference to Dr GRAHAM, Of Beck

standing against whose private character we could

honestly thinks the Locofoco party. collectively

sidcrs his first and highest duty.--in word, we

Convention called together TO accomplish that pur
poso-to wrcSt the internal Improvements of the
State from the hands ofalt persons not belonging
to particular party and deliver them over to
partizan politicians, to be used by them as sources
of mere party patronage.
The effect of this policy upon the various great
enterprises in which the State is embarked. IS OBJ
yious. Should the scheme succeed, it cannot be
expected that any Wing possessing common self
respect will vote or subscribe dollar to these
works, aud it will not be denied that their aid Is
absolutely essential A powerful faction OF the
Democracy have always opposed appropriations tc
internal improvements, and ifthe Whgsare forced
into opposition it will be impossible hereafter to
obtain means for their successful prosecution.
Mr.. PRlcE. on the other hand, is presented rs
an independent candidate. He isa Wing, to be

The Mhig CANDIDATES.

We have the pleasure Of announcing this week
the candidates Tor the Legislature, selected by the
Wing County Convention, on Saturday last. 1t
is unnecessary Tor us to tell our readers who these
gentlemen arc; the people of the county know
them to be men of integrity, sound Judgment, q
high order Of intelligence, and Wings of the gen
uiuc stamp. We cannot for a moment doubt that
they will receive, as we know they deserve, tho
unanimous and cordial support of the Wing par
ty. The Convention was the largest body of the
kiud We have ever scon assembled in our Court
house, and the harmony which characterized its
proceedings was truly gratifying. The contest
between the friends of the various estimablc gen
tlcmen aud good Wings who were pa, in uomi-
nation appeared to DO entirely alnieabe, and when
the result was ascertained no ore seemed to have
suffered defeat, or even to experience feeling
OF disappointment.
None OF the nominees, we believe, were soli-
ctOus for the honor conferred upon them, aud have
only consented to serve upon the call of their
political friends. 1t is therefore especially due to
them that the party should cordially sustain them
at the approaching election
