MOUNT VERNON, April ii, 1856.

Messrs. Gales 4 Sedton:
GENTLEMEN; My attention has been called 10
,he misapprehensions that appear to exist in DIFF
fereni parts of tho country respecting the sale of
Mount Vernon.
Will you permit me. through tho columns of
the National lntelligcncer, To make the following
statement, which think will condace 10 prop
err understanding of the matter.
Mount Dernon has never. in the true sense OF
tho term, been for sale. Since ii has been in my
possession have. Mt various titnes. in reply to
the inquiries of persons connected with the Gov
eminent of the United States and of the State OF
Virginia informed them that onl y the United
States Virginia, IL either desired it, could ob
tain possession of Mount Vernon.
The proposition to purchase Mount Vernon
by the United States has, as understand, been
brought before Congress upon more than one oo-
cason without any definite action in relation To
the subject having taken place 1t seemed rcas
enable. then, to conclude that the United States
did not wish 10 acquire the property.
The late Governor of Virginia twice recon.
mended to the General Assembly of the State tn,
purchase Of Mount Vernon by Virginia, In tn.
first instance the committee appointed in The
House of Delegates TO inquire into the subject
made no report. Upon the second occasion the
committee reported and the Legislature passed Il
bill respecting the purchase of Mount Vernon.
which both informed beforehand | would
not accept, because il was not in accordance
with the terms on which had Informed the Gov.
ernor in reply to his application, that the State
could obtain the property. 1t now became evil
dent that the State of Virginia did not wish to
purchase Mount Vernon.
Thus the only parties to whom would sell the
property having in effect declined to purchase
but one answer could be returned to the almos,
endless inquiries addressed tonne upon the sub
ject. namely, that Mount Vernon was not fol
sale.
