Mount Vernon.

Tho subject Of the purchase Of Mount
Vernon by Congress, which comes periodically
before the Country, seems of late to have taken
rather more Of public attention than usual {;
the desire to have it the property Of the
Nation being stimulated by the announce
mcnt from its proprietor that ii not purchased
hy Congress, during the present session, ne
shall dispose Of it to a company who propose
to make Of it a place of public resort.
The principal opposition to the bill brought
before Congress was from Virginia, who shows
disposition to own the place herself. The
Legislature Of that State have referred the
matter to a select committee who will, it is
said, report in favor Of the purchase, The
Richmond Wing opposes the scheme and
thinks il it is so scandalous to have the
Home of Washington PASS into the hands of
specializing Yankees, the proprietor SHOULD
not permit it to 90. He, it says, is as alb,
to hold it, as this poor old dcbt-rddcn State
win is hur''r'3 thousand adults unable t,
read, is to give $500 600 for it,"
The Nhig is probably right. Virginia car
perhaps find better use, for her money. Bu
the National Government is rich, its treasury
runs over, and of the millions to be squandcre,
by the present Congress, we believe thu
Country will be glad to know that a coupl'
of hundred thousand dollars has been applied
TO no worse purpose than the rescuing from
dcsrcration the Home of the Father Of lii
Country.
Done or not done however, the memory o
of Washington will not perish, as some seen
to fear, but his fame grow brighter while tim
shall last
