The Washington Art Association This
body, organized some timo since, composed Of
resident artists and we'll known am ateurs and
patrons of the 6ne arts principally, design es.
tablishipg in this city a permanent exhibition
of the works of all American artists, or others.
who have ever executed specimens of their
professional skill in this country. That it
will be an object of great national interest,
there can bt no doubt whatever. Nor can
there be any doubt that the existence of such
an exhibition here will servo greatly to add
to the attractions Of the Federal Metropolis as
point Of surprising interest to the stranger.

has called so many Of them to this point
Among them are not few whom We thought
to have been dead and buried long ago, so
completely had they disappeared from the no.
tice of the public in the political mutations of
the last quarter Of century. However we
welcome them back again upon the stage on
which they appear as regularly every four
years, as the locusts, to the sight of man, every
seventeen.years. They are wiss looking geI.'
tlemep, every man Of them, and doubtless ere
being at this interesting point for twenty.four
hours, are very sure Of precisely what is going
to happen between this and tho night of the
4th of March next, though some how or other
they seem to differ in opinion on oil points of
interest as much as Go tho rest Of the Wash
