Mount Vernon.

The Mobile Daily Mercury, one of the
ablest conducted of the southern journals, thus
speaks of the Noun. Vernon Association; and
at the same time pays the following merited
tribute to the Vice-Regent of Alabama =
"We are enabled to rejoice at the successful
accomplishment of this bold and arduous under
Mount vernon. 1t IS not only bought, but paid
for. 1t seemed impracticable. The large sum
required for the purchase, and the public apa-
thy in regard to the object proposed, seemed to
present difhculties which no energy and no tai
ent could overcome. But what seemed i'm
possible to the ordinary calculations of some,
did not depress the sublime faith of woman
And now that it is c~onsumated, we may,
with pardonable pride, boast of the important
and conspicuous part which Alabama has borne
in the work. Her people have contributed
most literally, individually, and through their
several associations. To every appeal they re-
sponded generously. On the fourth of July,
1858, the contributions of Alabama were eight
hundred dollars. On the fourth of July, 1859,
they amounted to five hundred dollars; and
though similar appeals were made in every
state, not a dollar was contributed in any Of
them on that day. At various other times, and
in various other modes, large sums were con-
tribnted, amounting to about ten thousand dol
lars in the aggregate. Mobile, especially, has
been most liberal. The Masonic fraternity Of
Mobile have contributed more than those of
any other city Ii, the Uniou. The First Vol
-unteer Regiment has given more than any mil
itary association, and the several fire companies
have also given largely. This abundant and
extraordinary success in Alabama must be a
fattering and grateful tribute TO the Vice-Re-
gent of Alabama, Madame OctaVia Walton LIE
Vert. There were personal and special rea-
sons which rendered her appointment especial
ly proper, and most fortunate for the cause.-
Her paternal grandfather was one of the sign
ers of the Declaration of independence, a gall
liant officer in the war which secured it, and an
intimate friend of Washington. To her it
seemed a call to the performance of a duty of
-dlial affection, and she responded to the duty
with all the lively enthusiasm and ENERGY of
her nature: Her appeals and efforts were con-
slant, earnest, eloquent, and most successful.
Many-very many, otherwise Indifferent to the
object-loved it, and aided it fer her sake alone.
The thousands of brave and generous hearts
hat do her an enDobling homage, always find
pleasure in aiding her efforts, and doing her be-
hosts. Thus it Is that such success has re-
warded her efforts. Such is the power and
prestige which q good and gifted woman has at
Ter command. But not contentwith inducing
generosity in others, she contributed a part of
The profits from the sale of her popular volumes

say tribute to whom tribute is due-the lau-
rel crown and the golden spear to those who
win them"

His "friends," and none other. Their in
temperate zeal in his behalf-their insults
offered the Administration, and their ignoring
the National creed of the Democratic party,
have done the job for the candidate of the
Ss''jobbers" in Ohio, and at Charleston. He
vii expire on or about the first of April, and
long before the Esd arrives, he will cease to be
named as a candidate before the National Coz
eSention of the Democratic Party.
eeHT s. WOODS, Esq, a delegate to the
Charleston Convention, and who has all along
been claimed as "a Douglas man" by the friends
. Of that candidate, thus gives utterance to his
views through the columns of his paper, the
New Lisbon Patriot:
The Democratic State Contention.
a1f The Convention at Columbus on the 9Th of
the present month, elected Geo. e. Pugh, Geo,
w. McCook, II. J. Jewett, and d. p. Rhodes
as delegates for the State at large, to the
Charleston Convention, with instructions for
- Stephen A. Douglas. The convention was
: Douglas by a large majority, and we think his
friends by their Incorporate zeal for him, and
their bitter hostility to the Administration did
their favorite more harm than the % votes of
Ohio at Charleston will do him good. We do
not recognize Judge Douglas as owning all the

1--WE can see no good reason Why a convention
of grown up men should break over the usages
5sof the party and because they are for the Lit
tie Giant for the succession, ignore the present
-sedistInguished and patriotic Administration, and
when asked, refuse it a decent complimentary
Endorsement. The conduct of some politicians
in Ohio, who want an excuse to leave the Dem
saocratic party, and are paving the way for posi-
- ton in the Republican party is not to be won
dered at, but that the great mass of the friends
= of Douglas should refuse to coneiliate those OPP
posed to him, without the slightest sacrifice OF
principle, can be set down only to the account
of t~houghtless indiseretion. As a Delegate to
Charleston we intend to vote for Douglas. We
hope Ohio will be a unit for him in that con-
~vention. If she is not, it Will be the fault of
his enthusiastic and inordinate friends, among
whom we could name a dozen that could be
killed with vast advantage to his Presidential
chances.
