MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION.

It 10 well known that Association was formed,
some wears since, under the lead of distinguished
South Carolina lady, whose object was to purchase
and to secure to the public the paterna estate Of
WASHINGTON. The negotiations, at one time, SEEM
cd to have failed, and public interest was in some de-
gree perverted from the honorable objects of the
founders of the Association. These negotiations have
since been renewed, with every prospect of favora
BILE termination. We have often spoken of the sub
jee in times past, and need not repeat the expression
of our warm sympathy with the object.
Our present purpose in abiding to it, is to remind
our readers that, some time since, large number Of
gentlemen in this city, united in extending invita-
lion to the Hon. Edward Everett to deliver before a
Charleston audience, his noble and eloquent address
on the life and character Of WAsHiNGToE. Circcm.
,.snces at that time prevented his complying with
that request but We have to know that his
sver was dictated by no unwilliDgness to visit our
city; and we feel sure that it will be grateful to his
feelings to have an opportunity of miDRng, publicly
and socially, with people towards whom, through a
long and honored public career, he has maintained a
uniform attitude Of kindness and respect.
Mr.. Everett would be welcomed in Charleston, not
only as an eloquent and distinguished man, but as
one who, through all the bitter srifes of parties has
never forgotten the amenities Of gentleman or com.
promised the dignity and duties OF statesman.
We sincerely trust that the invitation which was 80
warmly pressed upon him, some time since, may be
repeated Charleston Mercury.
