The National Washington Monument. Our fellow citizen, Mr. It. P. Spencer, has been appointed by the National Washington Monument Society, agent for the collection of contributions from the people of the 2d congres sional district. Mr. Spencer will call personal* j iy upon the people generally, when lie will be better able to explain the purposes to which their contributions will be appropriated, than we can do now. All our readers are perhaps aware that this society has been formed for the purpose of erecting at Washington City, a magnificent monument to Tim Father of iiis Country. The design is to build it by voluntary contribu tions from the American people, and those con tributions ranging generally from one to five dollars. So small from each one, that every American citizen may have the proud privilege of contributing his share. .Mr. Spencer is sup plied with several beautiful engravings, the larg est of which will be furnished to those who sub scribe five dollars, and the smallest to those j who subscribe one dollar. These engravings , are themselves worth the money paid in each ■ case. But we need not mention inducements to j subscribe; we doubt not, the opportunity of thus j feebly giving expression to the devotion uuiver- j sally inspired by the name of Washington', will be eagerly embraced by the people of the ; 21 congressional district. We commend Mr* Spencer and his noble mission to tire kind at- 1 motions and generous contributions of our fel- , low citizens. Those who desire to do so, by j calling at our office can examine a beautiful on- \ graving of the monument, and may also sub. I scribe what they ("eel disposed to give, as Mr. .Spencer has left with us a subscription book for <lre accommodation of those whom he may not In* able to see. We annex the following extracts from the ad dress deli veil'd by the lion. Bobt. C. Winthrop, on tire occasion ot lading the corner stone of the ! monument, and from the address of the National •Society to the American people : “Other monuments to this illustrious person have long ago ‘been erected. By not a few of the great i Mfates of our Union, by not a lew of the great cities 1 of our States, the chiselled statue or the lofty column 1 lias been sel up in his honor. The highest art of ‘ the old world—ot France, of Italy, and of England, successively—has been put in requisition for the purpose. lioudon for Virginia, Canova tor North Carolina, Sir Francis Cltanirey tor Massachusetts, have severally signalizt'd their genius hy portraving and perpetualing.ihe lorui and features of the Fa- j t her of l.is Count i y. “Nor has the Congress of the nation altogether failed in their duty in this respect. The massive j and majestic figure which presides over the precincts of the Capitol, and which seems almost in the act of j challenging anew vow of allegiance to the t.'onsti tulion and the Union from every one who approach es it, is a visible te-ti nony—isid one not the less grateful to an America!) eye as being the masterly ■ | production of a native a*list—that the Government of the country, has not been unmii.dlul of what it ; owes to Washington. ‘ i “One tribute to his memory is left to he rendered. One monument remains to he reared. A monument which shall bespeak the gratitude, not of States, or ol Cities, or ol Governments; not ol separate com-I nnmities or of official bodies ; but o! the People, the whole People of the Nation—a .National Monument, erected by tne Citizens of the United States ot Am- ; |T (•;(, •• I’lie place is appropriate. We are ost the hanks of his own beloved and beautiful Potomac. On one 1 ride of us within a few hours’ sail, are the hallowed | sceti's ainiJ which Washington spent all ol hi.-- ma ture life, witicii was not devoted to the public ser vice of the country, and where still repose, in their original resting place, all that remained of him when ( life was over. Outlie other side, and within our more immediate view, is the Capitol o! the Repub- 1 lie, standing on the site selected by himselt, and | within whose walls the right winch he vindicated, the principles which he established, the institutions which lie founded, have been, and are still to be I maintained, developed,and advanced.” * * “Let the column which we are about to construct, he at once a pledge an i an emblem ol perpetual ; union ! Let tbe foundations be laid, let tiie super- . structure be built up and cemented, let each stone i be raised and riveted, in a spirit of national brother- \ hood ! And may the earliest ray of tiie rising sun —till that sun shall set to rise no more—draw forth ( from it daily, as from the faded statue of antiquity, a strain of national harmony, which shall strike a re- 1 Hponsive chord in every heart throughout the ttepub- i lie ! ; ! “Proceed, then, fellow-citizens, with the work for which you line assembled ! Lay the corner-stone ‘ of a monument which shall adequately bespeak the gratitude of the whole American Penplf* to tbe illus trious Father of bis Country ! Build it to tbe skies ; you cannot outreach tiie loftiness of his principles! ; Found it upon the massive and eternal rocks; you ( cannot make it more enduring than his fame ! Con- ! struct it of the peerless Parian marble; yon cannot 1 make it purer than his life! Exhaust upon it the , rules and principles of ancient and modern art. you cannot make it more proportionate than his charac ter !” * | i In this noble enterprise the whole people of the United States tire interested. It is by them and them alone, wherever they may dwell, within tlie precincts 5 of populous cities or in the quiet of rural liie. on the { ahores of the Atlantic or in tiie prairies of tiie tar . west, that the Monument, now commenced, is to bo Teared. i It cannot he that the countrymen of Washington, ( to whom, under Heaven, they are indebted for all the political blessings they enjoy, will suffer a struct- ‘ ure, which, w hile it serves to transmit his name to the latest posterity, v ill commemorate their own gratitude, to remain unfinished or unworthy of his fame and their patriotism. ’Phis is tin object which interests all, ami to which all, from the least to the greatest, should leel honored in having an opportuni ty to contribute. It must not be said, that the couiitrv •men of Washington failed to supply the means nec essary to complete a Monument to Ins memory, which their patriotism had led them to commence. Such a blemish must not tarnish the character ot the Ameii can people, nor wi!i it. The magnificent structure, dedicated to public and , private virtue, will, as its elevation increases, be ‘.pushed forward to completion by the patriotic ardor and enthusiastic admiration, of tiie people of the Uni ted States, for the Great Father of ms Country*. ■ They will not, they cannot, let it stop for want of ‘ that aid which but very few have not the means of affording; out of the twenty millions of inhabitants in tbe United States, surely it is not extravagant to expect a contribution large enough to carry into ex ecution the magnificent design the Board has adopt ed. It is not expecting too much, when it is calcula ted that these contributions will yield such an a mount as the Board may require, to complete a .Mon ument that will surpass every other in the world in elevation and grandeur of its proportions. And this expectation is the more reasonable when it is under stood that the structure about to be raised, will be not only a Monument to the memory of Washington, hut one which will commemorate the gratitude of the American people to their greatest benefactor. It has been said that “closely allied to the love of coun try is gratitude to its benefactors,” and neither the patriotism n<>r gratitude of the people of the U. States can be questioned. It is true, that as yet, the strang er and sojourner in this country has still to ask, where is the National Monument, sacred to the memory of your illustrious Washington ? where is the proud memorial of your gratitude and your veneration? “But this question is, it is hoped, soon to be answered; and the mi Gve aud sublime pile, as it rises to the ] clouds, can be pointed at, and every American breast j will throb with pride and exultation when it feels that the stigma of ingratitude no longer tarnishes the briglit escutcheon of his coun.rv, and that an endu ring memorial exists of that country’s love, venera tion and gratitude for liitn who stands alone in tiie annals of the world, “without a mode! and without a ; shadow.’’ Greece, in her palmiest days, when the arts had attained their highest perfection, called upon the genius of her sons to'breathe life into the marble j of Hymettus ; Faros and Penlilicns.and her Phidias, j Proxiteles and Alcamenes, reared to Theseus and .Minerva, her greatest benefactors, t lie most splendid of her temples ; monuments at once of her genius,, taste and gratitude. Rome, too, has shown her grate ful affection and taste in tiip erection of monuments : ito her noblest and most distinguished citizens. The column of Trajan, though no longer towering in its j pride, has served not only to hand down liis name to ; i o-teritv, but to manifest the feelings which led to its elevation, and lo show the taste of the age in which it was built. Monuments are the develop merits of the love, respect and veneration of the living lor those win have passed away forever from the stage of life, and serve to recall the cherished memo ry of their virtues and their greatness. Even in the rude.-t ages of the world this leeiing is manifested.— 1 The ancient Phrygians, Trojans and Celts, and the j i more modern aborigines of this country, did not heap 1 up their massive Tumuli to give perpetuity alone to | the memory of their heroes, but to show what they | j felt for their loss, and how they esteemed their virtues 1 and respected their character. The Argument in a Nutshell. W e would iike to publish entire, the very i able argiitnent contained in the speech which i | .Mr Clemens, of Alabama, has delivered in the Senate. We must content ourselves with the 1 following brief extracts. The argument sum med up in the following brief paragraph, is to j our minds irresistible,.upon the question of the : right of California to adopt a State government I and claim to be admitted into the Union. So j | far as this branch of the question is concerned, j | the case is made out completely : , { The letter of the constitution is that “new | ■ States may lie admitted by Congress into ibis j Union ;” and its spirit demands that such admis- _ I sion shall be upon terms of equality. We have ! : no right to prescribe conditions which would . lessen the weight and influence of anew State j seeking admission ; which would curtail its rep resentation in either branch of Congress, or; take away any of the essential rights of self i government. For instance, while the ratio of representation for the old Stales is fixed at 75 01)0 tree inhabitants, we have no right to prescribe a larger ratio (say 100,000) for anew State be fore she is allowed to enter the confederacy. The converse of the proposition is likewise tine. 1 We can neither curtail her rights nor grant to j her exclusive privileges. We cannot say that 50,000 free inhabitants shall constitute the ratio i tor anew State, while 75 00 J is fixed for the j old. She must come in, if she comes at all, as an i equal, subject to all the restrictions and entitled to ail the privileges of her elder sisters. These are propositions which admit of no denial, and ; the deductions from them are as plain and simple 1 as that two and two make four and two make j six. Equality is what the constitution demands, If there be any rule, by which that equality can tie mast effectually secured, reason and justice alike indicate it as the proper guide for our ac tion. Ido not contend that it is necessary fora people making the application to have passed j through years of territorial pupilage, i will not weaken a strong case hy urging a doubtful point. I But I do contend that, before California can claim a place in this Union, she must show that j certain boundaries have been ascertained and | fixed by law, and that within those boundaries reside a number of free inhabitants equal to the present ratio of representation ; because these are conditions which have been imposed upon 1 all other States, and without which no guards against inequality can he effectual. Under any other rule it might well happen that twenty i thousand or ten thousand inhabitants of a given ° I district would exercise a power in the other end of the Capitol equal to 75,000 elsewhere, and in this body equal to the 3,000,000 residing in N. York. If we permit them to fix their own boundaries, to assemble and adopt a constitution without any enumeration of inhabitants, either ; by federal or territorial law, all that will here- . after be necessary to constitute a State will be for a band of adventurers sufficiently numerous to compose a convention, to get together in any of the Territories of the republic, gravely erect themselves into a sovereignty, and prescribe such limits as cupidity or taste may dictate. This speech has placed Mr. Clemens, side by si b with the mist e! >qient men of that body. Alabama may well be proud of her new Senator. The man who can successfully grapple with the mighty spirits ol the United States Senate is in deed no ordinary genius. This Mr. Clemens i has done, and we venture the assertion that few j better speeches have ever been delivered in the Senate Chamber. The following brief extract from it, is truly eloquent : The people of New England have many virtues and many goad qualities, which every man of ordinary iutel- j liger.ee must appreciate and respect. If it is worth any thing, I accord to them freely my highest admiration lor j the energy, the industry, and the sagacity by which they j are so eminently distinguished. In all that constitutes j tiie wealth of u State, “art and science, the picture, the song, and the landscape,” they have contributed abund antly to the common treasure-house of the nation ; and ; he knows but little of mv character who supposes that I take less pride than one of her own sons in whatever is bright or glorious in her history. But she has many faults also, which, if her children will not see, they ought not to condemn others for noting. Os some of these it has been my duty to speak heretotore. There is another ; which it would be well for them to correct—a sort of con- 1 stitutional proneness to bestow their sympathies upon the public enemy in time of war, and withhold their plaudits 1 from the country’s defenders. I remember that when the remains of the lamented Lincoln were borne from ! the field of Buena Vista to his father’s home for inter ment, a Major General of Massachusetts militia refused to turn out his command to do honor to the dead, alleg ing that he had fallen in an unjust war, prosecuted for un holy purposes, and that it would be an act of wickedness and shame to honor his memory or mourn over liistoinb. i 1 remember also an incident in the history of my own i regiment. A paper was received which continued the j first announcement in New England of the death of j Colonel Truman B. Hansom, and the friends and com- j rades of the dead soldier had gathered around, prepared ! to listen with proud mourn fulness to the praises of their late commander. But the cold-blooded devil whopre j sided over the columns of that paper had prepared for them qu : te aiiothe* entertainment. He stated very ! briefly that Colonel Ransom had been killed in storming j the castle of Chepultepec : that he was a soldier by pro- 1 f.'ssiou, had lived by the sword, and a bloody grave was a i fitting end to a earner of violence. 1 shall not attempt to ; desenbs the effect of this announcement. To them he had been a friend and father. They had followed him through hunger and thirst—through pestilence and ” L §®iuitno ii ra gissnniiiL- | death. He had ted them on wherever duty pointed the way—wherever honor and renown were to be won. Fi nally he had fallen as a soldier should fall—fallen glori ously at the head of his regiment—fallen with the words. “Forward, the Ninth,’’ still lingering on his lips. When his “last battle had been fought,” and “no sound awoke j him to glory again,” they had lifted him from the field j of his fame, and consigned him, with all a soldier's hou- ! ors, to a soldier's grave. Far from his own land, from his own home, they read tne apalling announcement that no tear had fallen to his memory—no tongue proclaimed his praise. Who could blame them, if in that hour they had faltered in j their duty ? Who could blame them if they had thrown away the banner beneath whose folds a triumph brought only reproach, and honor lost its dearest eulogy ? But, thank God, they did not. Firm as their own granite hills, tn?y breasted danger without shrinking, and an swered detraction with contempt. They were a glorious ; hand, that New England soldiery, and well and nobly did they maintain the honor of the republic in many a trying hour and many* a bloody fray, despite of outrage, calum ny, and wrong at home. FOR TIIE SENTINEL. Mr. Editor :—The following extract of a letter from a highly intelligent and influential citizen of Alabama, speaks so cheeringly of the prospects of the Girard and Mobile Rail Road, and as I believe, so truthfully of its value and im portance, that I hand it to you lor publication. ; The hint as to the importance of the energetic prosecution of the work now, by the appointment j of active and influential agents, and hy all such i means as evidence that the word fail is not known to the enterprise, will, I know, not be lost upon the able Board of Directors who have it in charge. Ido not feel at liberty, as the letter from which the extract is taken is a private one, to give the names of those who are referred to ! as active in the enterprise, and who would make j proper agents, &c. % Girard and Mobile Rail Road. j The Rail Road excitement runs high with i us. , , and , have just returned from the lower counties. They attended public | meetings, made Rail Road speeches, and roused j jup the people. They succeeded wonderfully, | and seem quite sanguine of the success of the J j grand enterprise. From all (hat I can learn, I am fully impressed with the belief that if there \ were two or three active, intelligent Agents ap , pointed, men of character and standing, such as ! and , the whole of the stock might he ! let out at once. Now is tiie auspicious time for ! action ; the excitement is up, and the thing j should he pushed through, I feel a deep inter- j est in this matter, We want nothing but Rail Road facilities, to make this the most desirable region of all the South. This Road when fin- ! ished, must be the great thoroughfare, the na- ; j tional highway, that must .concentrate and mo i nopolize all ihe travel from New York to New j. ! Orleans ; because its location will be on a direct | line that will unite those great commercial , points. And as that vast Territory between Texas and the Pacific will be rapidly populated, j i and the precious metals of California and all that \ rich mineral region will find a safe and expedi- | tious conveyance to onr great Eastern marts ! through the medium of this Road, its stock must | increase in value for years to come. I may be too sanguine, my zeal may mislead me, but these I | are my views, and if you deem them of any ! worth, you may make them known to Major 1 Hardaway, and General and Copt. Abercrombie. Bill lor my affliction, I should have been glad lo j have attended the Rail Road meeting at Girard. 1 W ith great regard, your friend, The Fine Arts. Mr. Editor: —l have learned, with pleasure, that Mans COBIN I, the Violinist, attached to Pomarede’s ; i magnificent Panorama, proposes to give a Concert on Monday evening. Having had the pleasure of listening i to Mens. C. s g.irfttTrKaiices at a private exhibition of his , skill, I can heiwtily enohrsc his reputation as “one of ihe j most accomplistfcd Violinists in this country.” Those | who attend wi irwytfsomeiof his best music—among it a beaiuifujWjjglliiwtion written by him while sojourning i with ancraiamed the “Columbus Waltz,” which will i delight Hie lovers of the “heavenly maid.” And certain- | Iv, the ir\dKjjuxitrfi.iica! ear cannot fail to be. pleased with : the purity and expression of his tones—while his whole execution is highlv graceful and artistic. AMATEUR. Pom.vrede’s Panorama of the Mississippi River.—This truly beautiful and life-like repre sentation of the Scenery which margins the 1 Mississippi, will be exhibited here but three ! nights longer. We would recommend all of; our fellow citizens who have not paid a visit to | Concert Hall since this magnificent Artistic ! production has been on exhibition there, to do so while an opportunity is offered. But a ! slight stretch of the imagination is required in visitors, to fancy themselves in the enjoyment of! a real trip up the “Father of Waters,” in which i all the aspects of wilderness afforded by that j giant stream, are favorably and faithfully i brought to view. Cities, villages, towns and j fairy isles, cliffs, mountains and cascades, with i all their treasures of legendary tale, are addressed ‘ to the eye and ear in a manner the most pleasing imaginable. It. is said “Columbus is famous for j exhibitions,” but it is seldom a work so grand and noble as this, can be seen in any city. The view of St. Louis, on fire, is well worth a visit. To all who have not seen it, we sav, go. — ; By reference to our advertising will be seen that the celebrated V. F. Oohini, has been induced to give a Musical Concert at tiie Hall, on Monday night. His performances upon the Violin have caused a great sensation in Europe and this country. He will be assisted by several eminent musicians.
