Capt. Kell and Mr.. Varley, who went
out for the purpose of endeavoring to
raise the American end of the At

were made at various paints, but all
were unsuccessful. the rope in almost
every instance giving way. 1t was

Mr. Smith made speech not at all up to his reputa-

the Mississippi boatman to take his cord wood without

Our orator replied TO the charges against Mr. Everett

EHerett aud Waahington.

We concur in the opinion expressed by true and
able contemporary of the New York E1prsss that Nj
Everetts name is destined to be indissoluby connected
with that Of Washngtonnot only by his eIertions in
behalf Of the tomb of the pa palrienot only, even
BY the just and eloquent tributes he has paid in words
to the name aud fame of the Sage of Mount Vernon
Even in England and among the scholars and historians
and statesmen Of the mother country Edward Everett
has come to be considered the es chronicer Of Wash
ngtons history and the ttest Annas Of his character
When Lord Mscaulay, about two years ago. solicited
by the Messrs Black, to prepare article on Washing
ton for the Encyclopedia Britannica that nobeman
unable on account of other engagements to comply -;
but he could think of likely to do justice TO
Washington he whose name is forever associated
with the purest in History. Lord Macaulay recommend
ed the publishers to the talents Of Mr. Everett for
the task. Mr. Everett applied to- found the work
congenii and has accomplished it. Ga the 18th OF jan
nary 1862 long before he could have supposed that HE
name would be used 10 the political strfs Of the present
campaign be concluded the labor. Previous to that date
he had finished the article and it had appeared IN the
British publication setting forth to foreigners the virtues
and talents Of the greatest aud best American But the
public home demanded to every thing that Everett
wrote or said about Washington, and the paper original
ly contributed to the Encyclopedia snO published in
book form. The preface is dated in January, and fur.
nishes some ofthe facts we have alluded to-
It would be strange if this dsuerested labor Of pati
otism should rebound the elevation of him who pei
formed it. If the latest tribute the first of Pres
dents should assure the people Of Everett fitness for
oHce that his chance Of becoming successor Of Wash
ington should be increased The work. at any rate
proves that he would be no unworthy successor. 1t

goodness to fully understand goodness ...a..' !
