Virginia." in yesterdays Gazette, satisfies me
that il is my duty to vote for Mr.. Price for Mayor
The article was not so intended, doubtess--but
the argument in truth is that because the claims
of Justice prevail in the Legislature with regard
to Internal improvements, therefore the citizens
OF Alexandria must elect a Democrat as their
Mayor. Why if the Legislature though that the
people Of Alexandria could be actuated by such
motives, they might well turn their backs upon
them, and our town become bye word, and re-

Stains of SorroD and Sin.-The Dublin

the lives of the royal and imperial wives Of
France, states that there are but thirteen
out OF sixty-seven on whose memory there is
no dark stain of sorrow or sin. Of the fifty e
four others, eleven were divorced; two died
by the executioner; nine died very youAg;
seven were soon widowed; three were cruel
ly treated; three were exled; the characters
of the three were very bad, and the prison
erS and the heart-broken made up the re-
mainder. Twenty who were buried at St.
Dennis since the time Of Charlemagne we're
denied the rest of the grave. Their remains
were dragged from the tomb exposed to the
insults of the revolutionary populace, and
then flung into trench and covered with
