Ono reason, we imagine. for the difficulty in
accomplishing the purchase of Mount Vernon,
either through Congress or the people, has been
that no one seems to have seen his way clearly
10 amy to be made of it when it should have
been purchased We beg leave to remove that
difficulty, and to show our practical oonutrymen
that it affords grand opportunity for doing a
noble thing.
II Mount Vernon be the Westmitsier Ibbey
Of Imerica Let the ashes of WAsuINGroN re-
pose there forever, and when any man shall have
been privileged to perform n patriotic action
worthy of tho honor, let his body, when his splr-
tits called homo by tho Creator, be buried by
order of Congress by the side of the nobest of
men. Let it be hencetorth the greatest homaeg
that can be paid to any man in the Western
hemisphere, lie ipds buried al Mount Iernon.
The details of this scheme can be readily car
ried out, Let the whole place, rs Washington
owned it, be purchased by Congress; let it be
laid out rs n national Laurel Hill, or Greenwood;
let no undistinguished dust repose there. BY
the law let it be a privilege conferred by act Of
Congress alone.
The Germans have erected a building which
they can the National Nalhalla, to be adorned by
the rhgies of their departed heroes and great
men. The idea is II noble one. 1t il suited to

seize upon it.

The Washington correspondent of the Phila-

From the demonstrations made in the Senate by
calls for information. well ~ from declarations
made out Of doors, il is quite obvious that the
luton which passed the House the other day by a
majority OF nearly three to one giving General Scott
the benefits of his brevet rank Of Lieutenant General
is TO be resisted with something OF personal animosi-
ty. The differences which occurred between the
Commander-i Chief and the Secretary of War; soon
after the advent Of the present administration have
increased up TO the present time and will doubtless
find the strongest expression upon the present occa-
sion that the circumstances V allow. In answer
ing calls OF Congress il is very easy TOR the Depart
ments to disclose or suppress much Of the docu-
mentsry testimony as may serve special purpose
and it is not doubted that in the present in stance the
inquiry was prompted.wth the direct object of ma
