THE PURCHASE OF MOUNT VERNON.


The admirable address of the Southern Matron,'
lshed below. places the matter in its true light and
gives reason to every patro, 10 look with confidence
to the of the noble enterprise for saving the
home and grave OF Washington from dissertation.
At the proper time measures will be taken to open

q contract will be made 10y the Governor with Mr..
W., and that, on the payment of the S2u0,0O0 within
five years, provided by the late law, the latter will

State of Virginia.
The labors of Mr. Everett and other Jealous la
borers in the cause, cannot fail to renize the
required In addition to the large sums raised in
other places By Mr.. Everetts eloquent address. the
Historical Society Of Philadelphia have paid to
Mr.. E. the sum of S7S6 81, the nett proceeds of 1853
tickets lat 10 cents sold the occasion Of Mr. E.'s
late address in that City, to be invested by him las
VIII he all the other patriotic proceeds of bis Grafton
