Ge,t7enen Of he S,7,ate,
a'l Of tie House Of Representatr

a'ai Of the House qf Representatives:
The interest with which the peo
pie Of the Republic anticipate tb'
assembling Of Congres IS, and the ful
fi.ment, on that occasion, of the du
ty imposed on a new President is on,
of the best evidences of their capaci
ty TO rea ize the hopes of the found
ers of political system, at once
complex and symme etrical. While
the differ eat branches OF the govern
ment are. to a certain extent, indie
pendent of each other, the duties O
all, alike, haye direct reference to the
source Of power. fortunately, un-
der this system, no man is so high
and none 50 humble, in the scale Of
public station, as to escape from the
scrutinr, or to be exempt from the
responsibility, which hll official func-
tions imply
Upon the justice nd intelligence
of the masses, in government thus
organized, is the $ol5 reliance of the
conltderacy, and the only security
for honest and earnest devotion to
its interests, against the usur pa
tions and Gncroachments of power
on the one hand, and the assaults of
personal ambition on the other.
The interest, of whic h ! have spo-
ken, is inseparable from an inquiring,
sell-governihg commanIty, but slim
ulated, Goubtlcss, ut the present
time, by the unsettl led condition of
our relations with seF Feral foreign
powers; by the new obligations re-
sulting from a saddd n extension of
the field of enterprise; by the spirit
with which that field has been en-
tered, a nd the amazing energy with
which it resources for meeting the
demands of humanity have been de-
vel6ped.
Althd ugh disease, assuming at one
time the characteristics of "a wide
spread and devastat ting pestilence,
has left its sad traces upon some
portions of our country, we have
still the most abundant cause for
reverent thanktulness to God for an
accumulation Of Signal mercies
showered upon US as a nation. 1t is
we'll that a consciousness Of rapid
advancement and increasing strength
be habitually associa ted with an abb
ding sense of dependence upon Him
who holds in his hands the destiny OF
men and Of nations.
Recognizing the wisdom Of the
broad principle of absolute religious
liberation proclaimed in our funda-
mental law, and rejoicing in the be-
nign influence which it has exerted
upon our social and political condi-
ton, / should shrink from clear
duty, did | Gail TO e4 press my deep
est conviction, that we can place no
secure reliance upon any apparent
nrocress. if it be not sustained by
national integrity, resting upon the
great truths affirmed and illustrated
bv divine revelation. In the midst
Of our sorrows for the afflicted and
suffering, it has been consoling TO

The Third Auditor.

JOHN 5. GALLAHER. esq, yesterday rein
pushed his position as Third Auditor of the
United States Treasury, to his successor,
FRANCIS Burr, esq, of South Carolina.
We learn that the reception of Mr.. BURT
by MIR. GALLAHER was of the most courteous
and cordial character; and that it was received
by Mr. Burt with the manifestation of such
feelings as mark the true gentleman. The
place had not been sought by him; and in this
fact, together with the conviction that Mr..
GALLAHER's departure from it was an inevi-
table occurrence, We doubt not he found relief
from the emotions that would under the cir
cumstances have otherwise oppressed him
Mr. GALLAHER has lived through many
years of rich experience, sustaining as an hon.
est man, as a gentleman, and as a politician
and legislator in his native State, a reputation
that will ever insure him the confidence and
good will of his fellow citizens

GREESousn's GRoUr OF SrArUKs.-A CORE
spondsnt of the New York Herald, in letter dated
board the nted States ship st. Louis March II,
speaks follows of the group of statues recently
executed by Greenough, the sculptor:
"We arrived here few days since from Spezzia
where we lay a week, and few days after leaving
G snoa. The object for visiting this port, and
bringing with Commodore Stringham and
broad blue pennant, is to attend the shipment of
group of statuary, executed by Greenough. The
figures, | am told, colossal, and the design of
the scu ptor was to represent the progress of civil
ization in the western portion of America. The
figures are, first, woman flying with her babe in
her arms; behind her is an Indian warrior who
pursues and has seized her by the hair, and with
upifted tomahawk is about to cleave her skull but
his arm is seized and the blow withheld by a west
ern hunter, who, with triumphant smile, looks
the Indian in the face, be half turns his head
see What arrests his blow. The group, | am told,
in all their attitudes, with the expression deneated
in their faces, form of the most perfect pieces
ever executed by any of our artists The size of
the block of granite from which this group was
cut can be judged of when inform you that the
artist, in order to get the where he wished to
work upon it, had to have the entire side of his
house torn down. 1t is the labor of better than
three years; and trust when shipped that it will
safely reach the spot which it is intended to
stand, and long prove an ornament to the public
grounds"

must wind through by-ways, and finally stop be-
fore a small enclosure on the top of hill, in an
open field, surrounded by a rude stone wall; and
just on the other side of the wall you will see a
very plain vault, with front of limestone rocks,
roughly hewn, and an iron door, and that you will
be told is the tomb IF the once famous General
Zachary Taylor, President of the United States of
America. No monument has been erected to his
memory!-hs name has not been inscribed
on his vault! In the centre of the small graveyard
there is a monument erected to the memory of his
