ADDRESS OF NI. CHARLES
DAVIES.

Notwithstanding the fact that Friday
The 18th Instant, was one OF the most
disaereeable evenings which we have
had this winter, there was large and
appreciative audience assembled in the
Episcopal Chapel of This town, TO hear
Mr.. Charles Davies, OF larpers Ferry,
deliver his very popular lecture OH CO.
LUMBrs. Ii was indeed fortunate that
the evening was inclement, because
many of the large number who express
cd their desire and intention of being
present, would have had 10 go away
from incapacity Of the building to at
ford even standing room for them.
Mr. Davies reputation as lecturer is
too well known in the region around
about here, to require any extended no
tice at our hands; and whatever may be
said Of some of his peculiar views in re-
gard TO the subject considered, certain
il is, that he has way of putting them,
which carries the audience with him
most ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS thing after
all, that a popular lecturer seeks to do.
The highly interesting facts of CoLUM
BIS life aud remarkable career were
brought forth in so new and becoming
dress, that We actually blushed TO
realize how rusty we had grown in the
history OF the discovery Of our country.
In response to some inquiries as to
the wit and humor OF the entertainment,
we simply said, it was all lrishman that
lectured and his name was DAVIES. If
Mr.. Davies thinks he is going TO get off
SO easily, he is greatly mistaken, for
there is already strong talk of having
him come back again in the Dearf future;
and we trus. our readers, one aud all,
will have another opportunity of spend
iny an evening as pleasantly and as prot
itably as we did last Friday.

WHAT DOES Ell MEAN

That Gen. Grant desires 10 be elected
President of the United States again
cannot be doubted. Why? Does he
wish TO redeem his former administra-
lion ofthe affairs of the nation from the
lust odiun which attaches TO his being
the protector Of thieves ana REGULATORS,
or the advocate of enforcement laws
Are not the principal beavers OF his
''boom" such parties as defed and es-
capped the just penalties of the civil law !?
Why his ignoring all the unwritteu law
Of his country! Is the honors which
has been bestowed upon him any the
less deserving Of his respect and obscr-
vance than that Of his predecessors
Why the round Of the world and the
making Of the personal acquaintance of
The crowned head; could they bestow
honor or happiness upon the lover Of a
republican form of Government! Who
in our own land vociteratcs the loudest
Tor n third term? Those who through
ignorance or design clamor for strong
Government. What does that mean,
concentrating power in the hands Of
the few, what fort To use the Govern
ment for their benefit. When is the
best time for a designing demagogue 10
attempt such toray upon the Liberties
aud rights Of The people7 When they
are divided by bitter sectional and color
hate and while the smouldering passions
Of people late engaged in an intestine
war can BE- easily aroused. The sword
aud the purse, backed by the passions
of the people aud they supplemented by
the approval aud support Of other Ma
lions are certainly strong temptations to
the ambition of u man who has shown
such utter disregard to the example of
all our former patriotic Presidents as has
Geu. Grant.

THE AVERAGE CONGRESS-.
MAN.

Many men seek to get into Congress
for the sake of the pay, $4,000 a year
aud pcrquisites, because this is more
money than they have the capacity to
make in any other position. When the
pay was eight dollars per diem, men
were selected because Of their capacity
aud patriotism. Now the average mem-
her of Congress after he is elected and
gets seated, begins TO look after the
moucy-making schemes, 10 further which,
il he has any, he is most willing to de-
vote his talent and energy. His duty
TO the business and interest of his i'm
mediate constituents is totally ignored;
he regards il as an insult, or an attempt
10 place him in the position OF a lobby
list, 10 be requested 10 give TO such his
personal attention.
Oar conviction is, aud we believe 1t
to 6e so regarded by the people, that
when they vote TO send representative
TO Congress, that he is To substitute or
represent ihem when their business,
either collectively or individually, is
brough, before that body, and not to
subject them To the expense of either
giving their personal attention, or nlring
an attorney to attend to their business.
A representative is mere substitute
and should feel it his duty TO first give
his attention 10 the business and inter
est OF his constituents; if he seeks the
position for other objects or designs he
is perpetraling fraud by obtaining the
possession under false pretences, and
that no man of character or correct
principal would do There is from one
stand point an apparent combination OF
Luty, tina, is. he is 10 represent the
Government as well as the individual;
this is "a mere assurnsit or prctence 10 es-
cape his obligation TO attend TO the bust
ness of his constituents, for he Is sent
there 10 represent aud protect them,
any plea to the contrary is mere sub
teriuee and those who avail themselves
OF 1t, are not deserving, but unworthy of
the honor or name OF a representative.

In SEARCH OF LABoRERs.-Mr.
Smith, agent for Messrs. john Sa,terlee
d Co., contractors on the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad, was in this city yester-
day, in search of bands TO work on that
road, and notwithstanding good wages
were offered he succeeded in inducing
only about fifty colored people to leave
Alexandria, they preferring TO stay here
and beg and steal, rather than go to the
country aud earn an honest living.
MIR Lewis Mckenzie at the meeting
of the Alexandria Reform
Club, last night, stated that Mr.. Ii. l..
Lacy, who has the contract for building
the bridges on the Shenandoah Valley
road, will, in short time, want large
number of hands, and thought there
would be good opening for large
number of unemployed carpenters.-
