PURCHASE OF MoUNT NERNON.-Thc price
paid for Mount Vernon is as follows Two hun
bred thousand dollars for two hundred acres of
land, including the mansion gardens, landing
place, and, above all, the tomb
Eighteen thousand dollars to be paid on clos
ing of contract, and the remainder of the sum
in four bonds, payable in yearly installments,
with the permission, after payment of the first
bond, to pay to Mr.. Washington any amount
of the balance due, i'll sums of not less than five
thousand dollars, which sums will be credited
TO the Association, in this manner lesseninr the
interest.
The title to the estate and possession is to be
given on payment of principal ind interest and
the privilege also granted of obtaining possess
sion, on thirty days notice, at any time the As
ISOLATION may be ready to furnish the entire pur-
chase money.
This has been the price fixed by John A. Wash
lngton ever since the proposition was first made
Mr. Washington promises that if the Associa-
ton meets its engagements with him on the first
of January, 1859, and thinks proper to pay, and
does pay the other deferred installments on or
before the 22d day of February, 1859. as they
will probably be both willing and able to do. It
is his intention, in that case, to remit to the As
ISOLATION all the interest on all the deferred pay-
mentS.

and other friends, the Southern Matron' has

The Position of Mr.. Douglas.

The Buchanan and Douglas wings of the ILL
nois Democracy met at Springfield respectively,
and made separate organizations. In the for
mer, or administration wing, twenty eight coGn-
ties were represented; while to the Douglas
department ninety-two counties sent delegates.
Resolutions were passed endorsing the dclega-
ton in Congress, and candidates were nomina-
ted for Treasurer and Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
The Chicago Tribune the leading Republican
paper in the Northwest, in very sensible arti-
Gle opposes the advice given in certain quarters
to the young men of Illinois to sustain the anti
Lecompton democrats of that State. With ref
erence to Mr.. Douglas Il states that his hostili-
ty to Republican principles has not been obat-
ed, and that his reelection to the Senate by
Republican votes would be the signal of disin-
tegration and defeat in 1860. The speech Of
Mr. Douglas, made in the Senate on the night
Of the passage Of the Lecompton bill, places
himself and the Republicans who sympathise
with his recent policy in a very unfortunate po-
sition. If his present policy, as he claims, is
consistent with his policy in 40, 80, "a and Sc,
it certainly is not Republican. The attempt to
reconcile them was not only an impossible task,
but it seemed 20 indicate fear of the consequent
ces of his present position. But the time has
not yet come for criticising individuals. The
contest is not yet over. When it is, public men
will be compelled to take a fixed and weld
ed position. If there are any friends to be par
ticularly rewarded or any traitors to be punish.
ed, justice will some how or other find then,
out.

CONSPIRACY IN SPRINGFIELD JAII.-A tleor
plot has been discovered among half dozen Of
the most desperate prisoners in the Springfield
JAIL to attack the jailor, and to kill him, if nee.
essary, to get his keys and release themselves
The conspirators had armed themselves with
clubs and knives, and had arranged to make the
attack on Saturday when the jailor went in to
open their cells They had their weapons con-
cealed under their coats, but on approaching
him they perceived that he had suspected their
plan and was prepared for it, and did not dare
make the assault. Their cells were afterwards
searched, and the weapons and letters from the
conspirators to each other were found, revealing
the whole plot.

Mr.. MoRRILL's LAND BILL.-We are happy
to announce the passage of the bill donating a
portion of the public lands to the several States
leges, introduced by the able member of Con-
gress from this District. Such institutions as
this bill contemplatcs will be of signal service
to the farmers and artizans of this State. They
will dignity labor by elevating the standing of
the aborer, and tend to make the pursuits of
agriculture and the mechanic arts more sought
for by the young men of Vermont 1t is hoped
and believed that this bill will pass the Senate
and become law. We hope our contempora-
ry Of the Rutland Courier will discover no mares
nest in this bill, nor any provision in it for
electing any particular man to the Chief Magis-
tracy of Vermont.

EMANCIPATION IN MIssouRI--The st. Louis
Republican, pro-slavery journal, says that the
question of the election in Missouri is clearly
and distinctly, emancipation, and that the aboli-
ton of slavery in the State is only to be pre-
vented by the success of the Democratic party.
1t shows great progress of anti-Slavery princi-
pies, when such question is openly agitated in
a slave State and the position which the Dem
ocratic party holds in relation to the contest,
shows how uniformly that organization is found
to be the ally and defender of Slavery

Fort Smelling SWindle.

The democratic press have been very free
with their charges of dishonesty and corruption
against individual Republicans. If the name
of defaultcr is given in the newspapers it is at
once assumed by our mercurial contemporary
that he is a Republican. Now all this may be
smart enough but it would be much more con-
sistent with a manly course of action to learn
whether there is any necessary connection be-
tween their politics and their conduct in bust
ness transactions. 1t is to be presumed that
there are men in the Republican ranks who are
no better than they should be but that they are
not sinners above all other men the current his
tory of the times will fully show.
The Military Reservation at Fort Smelling
was believed to have been surrepttiously dis
posed of by the administration without any suff-
cent consideration, and for the benefit of pri-
waite spectators ranking high in the Democratic
party. AT any rate such charges appeared in
some of the leading opposition newspapers in
the country, but they were denied by many of
the administration papers. At the commence
ment of the present Congress these reports be-
came so personal that an investigation was or
dered, and committee was appointed by the
House of Representatives for that purpose.
On Tuesday last the majority of that COM
mittee reported in pointed and forcible condem-
nation of the sale of the Reservation in ques-
ton and of the conduct of the Secretary of War
and his Commissioners in making that sale, in
disregard or defiance of the opinions of all the
;l;to.x, of H.,
taken on the subject and of the laws of the land.
The Report is signed by John U. Petit of In
diana, Justin S. Morrill, of this State and Isaac
n. Morris of Illinois. 1t is quite elaborate, is
moderate in tone and language, fully analyses
the testimony taken before the committee, and
gives a connected history of the Fort Smelling
sale. The parallel of that sale, we are confident
cannot be found in the history of our govern
ment "The Report clearly" says the Tribune,
" establishes these positions:
/. This Reservation is still needed for Mil
itary purposes, and therefore should not have
been sold at all. The Military authorities whose
views should have controlled this matter were
not even consulted.
2. 1t was sold far below its value
). 1t was surreptitiously and unfairly sold,
none but those connected with or benefited BY
the TRANSMISSION being allowed to know that the
land was in market.
t. 1t was sold in lump-some Seven to Ten
Thousand acres-when the laws forbid such sale.
requiring a survey of all Public Lands into sec
tons, and their sale in legal subdivisions of sec

law, which requires all Public Lands to be sold

SEIZURE OF LIQUOR IN NoRTHFIELD.-Thc
friends of temperance have been trying the viz
tue of the prohibitory law in destroying the nui-
sancc of the liquor traffic in this place. About
six barrels of sprituous liquors, including about
two barrels of strong beer, had been seized, up
on the complaint of different individuals, to
Roys Jones, Esq, and the owners or keepers
having failed to appear and claim the same af-
ter having been kuly notified, the same was adj
judged forfeited and ordered TO be destroyed,
with the exception of two barrels found in the
Railroad Freight Depot, which by the Statute
must be advertised by the officer Selling the
samei and was destroyed on Monday.-Mes-
senger.
The Messenger adds statement of fines pro-
secutions, in the result of which five, varying
from $40 to $3.50 each, were imposed upon the
accused parties. Several cases remain to be
disposed Of
