To rally Gtns nam. NJ Washington and make his
Home and brare tie Peoples Property.
CHicens of Vermont You have all
probably heard of the undetermined, warm
hearted Southern Matron," who so loved
aud rcvered our Washington, that she
had devoted herself for many years, weak
in holy but strong in spirit, to the great
object Of purchasing Mount Vernon, and
consccrating it forever to this great and
good patriot.
The Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-
ton of the Union has received Il charter
from the State Of Virginia, and the South.
crn Matron, Miss Ann Pamela Cunning
ham, has been appointed its Recent.
Sustained by the pious and patriotic
hope Of preserving from dissertation that
spot which should be so dear to every
American heart, she pcrscveringly labored
On. Until she effected, in April last. the
purchase of the estate for 100000: Mr..
Washington giving her the preference over
spectators, from whom he had received
a higher offer.
OF the purchase money, Sl5S,333 has
already been paid, through the enthusiasts
lie exertions of the ladies of twcn'y-four
of the United States, Vermont being the
last to unite with her %sisters,) and the
u~ntiring effort ofthe Hon, Edward Everett.
Have you any doubt as to the worth
ard importance Of this enterprise, when
such Il man as Edward Everett, the ac-
complished scholar, the polished and elc-
CANT orator, the sound statesman and up
right Christian, one of Americas most
gifted sons, has for several years devoted
himself to it with almost unparalleled dis
iutercstCdncss?
Sacrificing time, money, strength and
literary pursuits, Mr., Everett, who has
done honor to so many high public stations
in the L. S, Senate, in the gubernato-
rial chair Of Massachusetts, as the Presi-
dent of Harvard College, and as the adj
mircd and respected Minister to England,
has laid all these talents at the altar of
Washington, that his home and tomb may
become the UeQpie'S pr0periy, and be pre-
served sacred to his memory forever.
Steadfast in his glorious purpose, Mr.,
Everett, by his active exertions, though
but just recovered from a fit Of sickness,
has actually raised $4,000 during the
past winter.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1859,
Siekles Acquitted.

On Tuesday the Goth ult., Daniel E.
Cicklcs was. by the jury who had the case
before them more than three weeks, de-
olared not guilty Of murder, after q con-
.ultation Of 70 minutes. The verdict was
anticipated AMI no one will be surprised,
nor will there be the regret that there
would we're it not the universal senti-
mcnt that Key richly deserved his fato.
Tho verdict declares that Sicklcs is not
guilty of murder, aud that the killing
was justiiable-s verdict which may bs
confirmed or reversed at the bar of every
individual conscience. 1t is quite clear
that Mr.. Sickles, under the influence Of
etrong emotion. took the life of his victim,
and in defiance of Him who has said YEN
sence is mine" When this case is taken
in connection with other similar cases ci-
ted by the defense it is plain that there is
a growing tendency to extend license in
Instances like this. Though the case be mys-
tilted as much as it may, it needs not au
uncommonly lucid mind to see that the
bloody decd was done, not to defend the
wife, nor society, but to vindicate his own
w,undcd honor. We understand that the
verdict of the jury asserts this right. We
think that every verdict Of this kiud gives
society a retrogradc step, wcakeus the
family safeguard, and strikes directly ct
law and order, which is the dependence Of
society. 1t can be countenanced only by
the strong, the rcmorsclcss and the pro-
tested. We are glad this dismal case is
10 be withdrawn from the public gaze and
hope that some lessons may be drawn
from It, that our law makers will give
heed 10.

Having consented to accept an appoint
ment from Mrs. Cults, (The Nico Re.
gent Of Vermont to present this cause
to the ladies of my own County, will the
Editor of the Register permit me the use
of his columns, through which to bespeak
their united cooperation in the noble work
Of r%escuing from present and future desc
Grafton the home of tho Father of our
Country, and placing it safely in the No.
TONS care.
The name of Washington is dear to
every American heart, but especially dear
to the women of America. The strong
arm that met and r%epulsed the British
Lion, in the same glorious hour achieved
q twofold vo.ary, one for the politics of
his country, and one for the social posi-
ton of roman. In no land are her
rights so clearly defined, so carefully
guarded, as in ours. Through the heroism
of the immortal Washington, who was
wise in counsel and brave in action, the
foundations of an enlarged order of per-
sonal freedom and independence we're laid,
and to-day, We, my Sisters, are in possess
sion of q legacy conscious of self respect
and true womanly dignity inspiring a high
sense of gratitude to our venerated and
beloved Washington.
How betting the mission for woman,
how appropriate that she declare with
the Blessing of Heaven on our efforts, we
will secure and preserve inviolate the
s~anctity of his once beautiful home. Mount
Vernon is hallowed ground, it contains a
treasure too sacred for strangers to hold IN
keeping. Its Mansion, pleasure grounds
and gardens, laid out and adorned by his
own hands, aided by the most experienced
workmcn from Europe, must be recovered
from the spoilcr and restored to its former
elegance.
The purchase Of the Mount Vernon Es-
tate, situated on the banks OF the Potomac,
is now regarded as a fixed entity, fer the
hearts of the Daughters of America are
stirred with patriotic fire, and already in
twenty-five States of the Union bands Of
noble women are putting forth strenuous
efforts TO crown the consumation of their
wishes. viii it not be the Inauguration
of a new era, when she shall receive this

TO raise n revenue from the rent of the
