Gentlemen: l gratefully acknowledge yours OF

best comport with my convenience If my own health
and strength, and that Of my family, would permit,
nothing could give Inc more pleasure than To meet
the "advocacs of civil aud religious freedom and
cmies of prescription" everywhere, and to exchange
thought and feeling with them at this crisis OF our be-
loved country bur especially at the metropolis of the
nation would confer with the friends of the faith oil
the fathers OF the republic to the best AMI suet
mode of conserving 1t against tic foreign influence
from abroad and the conspiracy AT home which is now
assnilug everything sacred, and everything snr, in
the foundations of our freedom. You have not Il
voice in the national elections bat your voices are
potential in influencing them. You have parties, You
have presses, you have now large, growing, i'll
tcliscu and healthy city population nnd you are i'll
the centre of politics.
More and more will Washington city be felt
throughout the whole land in every SECTIONAL rs well
"a in every national struggle. The emssaries of the
secret societies, their cncy their types, were felt i'll
the late Virginia election. How important, THEM that
Washington should be enlightened liberal moral pa

she so! Your municipal elections show that bigotry
and intolerance, lnd pritstcrait and uSraran intus
enccs, using the clark lanterns nt midnight in
Your midst, and TINT your city, too, ia spawning
"isrns,"
would gladly go there and meet friends to consult
upon the means of mildly calling ali good men to-
grthcr for patriotic purposes whilst bad men
banding in secret concaves to give the State up 10
prescription, and the Church, tho blessed Protestant
Church, up to pollution. But, gentlemen, cannot.

TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.


u uate of the Polytechnic School of Paris, re-
specially offers his services teacher of his
native tongue to Schools, Classes and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language, uniies in due proportion theory and
practice; by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomahcal part of the language, prac-
tical one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, at least far too much,
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time to the mere me.
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number Of set phrases, valuable it is
true but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method, may, with
little effort, after course of tortyeight lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the
sistance of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution of the studies of that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing Pastel Painting,
and Penmanshp, can also be had from the adver-
user
References in success in teaching, ETC., etc, will
be given.

America s nobest sons--to one who is an Ame-
rican in the true sense Of the term as applied to
patriots-to Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, the
fearless champion of the peoples rights-the
rights Of suffrage and the freedom of thought and
speech--ay, and Of the still more sacred right to
worship Almighty God, the author Of our being,
according to the dictates of our conscences-
rights now struck ut, though secured to all by
the Constitution of the country" etc.
The chairman having concluded his remarks,
several propositions as to the most appropriate
way of acknowledging our Indebtedness to the
" mother Of States, and offering some tribute
as evidence ofthe high appreciation in which the
advocates and sentines of civil and religious free
dom here hold her Governor elect, were dis
cussed; and, on molten, it was
RESOLVED, unanimously, That banquet be given
TO the Hon. Henry A.. Wise in this city at such
tiHic ds TIC HdIuc, anu UlOSL CONVENIENT 10
him; and that a committee of thirteen to be APP
pointed by the chair, with the officers Of the
meeting, make the necessary arrangements for
carrying the same into effect, and report to an
adjourned meeting to be held at the same place
at an early day.
Resolred, further, That the proceedings be pub
lished in such of the city journals as maintain
and defend the sacred principles SO triumphantly
vindcated by the people of Virginia in the re-
cent election in that State, and that this meeting
do now adjourn.
