It is ■il known that Mr. Washington has never . .’this.

We appealed to Virginia to purchase from Mr rt\, itui by accepting herself the sacrifices—no! j heart offerings which the Daughters of 1 Vasl would feel it a privilege to be allowed to In- ! . -enable them vet to accomplish all that lor■ j • U mem,n-u had suggested. This aj.peaf has been responded to nobly—with i .. promptness and a patriotism which should en :.i'iue the Virginia General Assembly of ’56 in the j .ir l of trail'--n.‘ It lias been responded to in a j manner which, while there is no departure from j Mr. Washington's repressed condition , viz : con vey- 1 <ty in “host" deed to the State, vet res the Association all a State Constitution per | ...is, with /’!.'•• restriction. Our appeal spoke onlv | a trust deed arrangement for the property. Mr. , Washington required it, and, therefore. Gov. John- i inn presenting the subject for tbe consideration ! the Assemble, confined himself to this propo- i , but, to the honor of the old Dominion, be it j cord'd, that when we afterwards made an appli : u>n to Mr. I.angfitt, the chairman of the Mount ' nioii Committee, appointed to report on this ; rticn ■( the Governor’s message, to include an at of incorporation” for the Association, with ; an enlarged patriotism 'which should endear his j nanii i.- hi-countrymen, if. was at once acceded ! to. ami the 17th of March the “Mount Vernon bill pais-1 nof/i Houses in less than an hour, an,l almost by ' V 'lriiati-ui. By this act the Assembly itkni'i,vii the Governor to contract with Mr. M ■- on.:! si for Mount A ernon, ty> the manner in which Mr. W. had consented to dispose of it, i. e., vusi deed to the State. The additional net of chat mg the Mount Vernon Association does not nuke ilu* (titter a piety to anv transaction in which Hr. IT. sto he concerned—it is purely one be u tlie siaf. of Virginia and the Association. We place before you Mr. Washington's reply to '• ‘V. J., when addressed on the subject: “ Moi vt Vehxox, June is, 1x55. s ir: A our letter of June loth has been reeeiv n which you mention your design of again ■unending to the Legislature of Virginia the ■priety of acquiring for the State, that portion t Mount Vernon where Gen.

The - i cseniatives for Virginia have, in this cate — j i sentiment and patriotism—decided that the ■ont-y "fend from love to Washington's memory ] '"prui/riaL to be used in luiUowing his home , ■' grace than, any which could If ratted by taxa - ; Mr. Washington’s personal sentiments have evented his taking tliis view of it himself, and • ' may even prefer that the J lot!,e r State should ■■■-oc coincided with him, and have pursued a dis- , rent course from the one which the Assembly, l;'-'?* ■: r the beauty of ruck tribute to our Country’s i • ■ and t!i, influence it will exert in endearing • >r>/ and principle # to hie children, have cho 'a.

A talisman forever against fraternal strife and aggression ! ! It could not but add to Mr. Washington’s grati fication to find the name he bears, and the tomb of h,s ancestor fulfilling so holy so glorious a mis sum . Homan is the honored agent in this great work ; but the patriotic men of our country indi cate by their acts their conviction of the appropri ateness of stick agency. Surely, when (in tlie lan guage of another), Edward Everett devotes his splendid talents to the. cause, there is not a man in the I axon who would refuse his mice and his learning lathis enterprise ! As this enterprise commenced, and was long con fined to the South, editors in other sections unfa miliar with its past history, have been led into mis takes which we take this opportunity to correct on account of their injurious influences, viz: “that there are three distinct and independently organ ized associations—all laboring zealously, however for the same end—purchase of Mount Vernon;” also, ; that Virginia started the [Mount Vernon Association of the Union,” which the cavilling >eize upon to turn to her and our disadvantage, bv asserting that she called on other States to aid her in purchasing property to become hers in “ trust!" Ihe Central Committee having been located in Richmond (and composed principally of Virgin ians i and the “ Circular to the Daughters of Wash ington ’ issuing from thence, has doubtless led to tins aspersion ; one from which we feel it due to the Old Dominion, and her peculiarly delicate position in this matter, to relieve hr/-. So far from such a proposal emanating from her, or the enterprise be ing started by her, both, from regard for Mount Vernon, were done for her, and fortunately (as it seems) she only joined it some six months after its commencement, and being repeatedly called upon to do so! We will in a few words sketch past facts for that portion <*f the public yet ignorant of them. An ap peal to the ladies of the South, was issued from South Carolina by the Southern Matron, in Decem ber. 1853. Isolated interest and action resulted in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. Finding that interest was dying from want of concerted ac tion and some one to direct the movement, failing to draw out others more competent to assume such vast responsibilities, unwilling that every movement to honor him who is said to be first iii the hearts of his countrymen, should fail for lack of self-sacri ficing patriotism, she came to the rescue, issued regulations in April, 1554, by which the patriotic laborers were unit'd, and became a nucleus around which proselytes could rally! The acorn has grown into a tree, whose branches, in time, will extend from the Atlantic to the golden shores of the Pacific! The enterprise was at first only designed to be a Southern one, but overtures from Northern patriots caused it to he made national, in May, 1855, under the name of the Ladies’ Mount Vernon Association of the Union. Duties ot direction becoming too arduous, a Central Committee was formed to aid the management of it, under which are State Com mittees i associations again under these,) for the performance of local duties arising from the col lection of money, Ac. These three (3) departments, have no doubt led to the impression, in some places, that there were three independent Mount Vernon Associations, j There is hut one, the Mount Vernon Association of faint, for which a charter has been obtained, which charter will be accepted upon the comple- [ tion of certain necessary results and legal arrange- ! nients. Members representing other sections will be added to the Central Committee, as they em brace the cause. Patriots desirous of information, or of giving their time and labor, as well as means to this inspiring work, can address Miss M. L. Lawson, ;v:4 Spruce street, Philadelphie, Corres ponding Secretary of S. M., or Mrs. Wm. F. Ritchie, Richmond, Va., first Vice President of Central Committee. All we need nowfor the speedy accomplish»u nt of purposes becoming dtar to the American heart is zealous patriots to usl for gold l “ A grateful nation with its wealth untold, \S ill pour its lavish sums, as once poured blood, To gain our freedom on this sacred sod. Then, ever sacred to the patriot's bier, AA e II hold the Mecca which we all revere.” A Southerx M atrox. Pres’t of Mount Vernon Association of the Union. Philadelphia, April 10, 1856. Substitute lor a Ballot Bov. By order of J. 11, Lane, and others of the Free- < soil party, an election was ordered to be held on I the 16th January last, to elect officers for a Stats t Government. By Proclamation of the Mayor, for- t bidding any such election in this place, and signed < bv all the members of the Council, no election -1 was held irf Leavenworth city, that we knew of, or • could hear of at the time. And though the Her- t aid of freedom announced that an election was 1 held and some one hundred and sixty votes given, i we denied it. It now turns out a w 'art election t «as held at night, and in place of a ballot box, a long stocking was substituted. One or more per- t sons took said stocking, went to all the Freesoilers, t both here and at the Fort, received votes, and de- 1 posited them in the ballot stocking. Some of the t opposing Freesoil candidates received votes in a I pocket. A Mr. Hodge, of this place, it seems, re ceived the highest number of votes, and of course, was declared duly elected. His seat, however, was i contested, on the assembling of the Legislature at < Topeka, anti he was ousted upon the following | 1 grounds. It was urged by one speaker, that great j 1 complaints had been made against Missourians j < for violating the sacred rights of the ballot box, j t hut, siiid he, here i> a greater fraud actually prac- j t ticcd by men professing to belong to our party, than was ever charged agaiust our enemies. Votes I are taken secret///, in a long stocking, without even j i the forms of law, and a member here claims his I 1 seat as a Free State Representative on that vote, j I The members became indignant. The “stacking" j t vote was declared illegal and wrong, we suppose \ upon the ground that it was taking an undue ad- j vantage of the “pocket,” because the former could i hold more votes than the latter. This is a true state of facts, and Mr. Dodge was ousted from his seat in consequence of that vote. We will now ! 1 state, for the information of the //- raid of Freedom, ; that such an election was actually held, and that ■ it is characteristic of the Fri-esoil party of Kansas Territory. —Kansas Herald, April 12 Swiss Coirtixo. When a girl has arrived at j 1 marriageble age, the young gentlemen of the vil- | lage assemble by consent on a given night on the I gallery of the chalet in which the fair one resides. : This creates no manner of surprise in the minds i of her parents, who not only wink at the practice, j but are never better pleased than when the charms j of the daughter attract the greatest number of ; admirers. Their arrival is soon announced by • sundry taps at the different windows. After the I j family in the house has been roused and dressed ; I (for the scene usually takes place at midnight, j when they have all retired to rest, i the window of i the room prepared for the occasion, in which the girl j is lirst alone, is opened. Then parely commences, , of rather a boisterous description ; each man in ; turn urges his suit with all eloquence and art of , which lie is possessed. The fair one hesitates, I doubts, asks questions, but comes to no decision. ! She then invites the party to partake of a repast j of cakes and kirsch wasser, which is prepared for \ them on the balcony. Indeed, this entertainment, ! ; with the strong water of the cherry, forms a prom- j ineut feature in the proceedings of the night. After having regaled themselves for some time, | during which and through the window' she has j made use of all the witchery of woman’s art, she 1 feigns a desire to get rid of them, and will some- ! ! times call her parents to accomplish this o.bjecb ■ i The youths, however, are not to be put off, for, according to the custom of the coon ry, they have come here for the express purpose of compelling her, on*that night, there and then, to make up her mind, and to declare the oblect of her choice, j At length, after a further parley, her heart is i touched, or at least she pretends it is, by the fa- | vored swain. After certain preliminaries between j the girl and her parents, her lover is admitted i through the window, where the affiance is signed ; and sealed, but not delivered, iu presence of both father and mother. By consent, of all all parties, • the ceremony is not to extend beyond a couple ol ! hours, when, after a second jollification with j kirschwasser, they all retire the happy man to j bless his star, but the rejected to console them selves with the hope that at the next tournament of ! : love making they may succeed better. In gener- I al, the girl's decision is taken in good part by all, and is regarded as decisive.

Liverpool, April 4.—The extreme depression during the whole of last week of the low, inferior, and dirty qualities of American Cotton has brought about a decided and corresponding reaction in those kinds. Without there being any material change in the better sorts during the fortnight, the inferior qualities to which we allude have advanced from the depression quoted in our report of Fri day last a full %&. per lb., and on the very low sorts the advance is more nearly Vd.; Middling may be l-16d. higher; fair and upwards steady and no more. Surats, which we hardly need re peat, stand at a relatively high price, are without change ; neither is there any quotable alteration in Egyptian and Brazils. Such are the adjust ments from lime to time of the various qualifies, according to the stock on hand of each descrip tion, and the demands made upon them. At the same time we must report our observations upon the whole proceedings of the week, including that most important consideration—the state and pros pects of the consumption, as indicating much, and perhaps increasing confidence in the future of the Cotton trade. The accomplished fact of an European peace had been so fully anticipated, that before its an nouncement, it had exhausted much of its direct influence on the article of Cotton ; but the state of well-doing of the eountn at large, which cannot fail to be the result of that event, may continue to show itself gradually to our advantage. We have still to confirm our former statements as to the crop in America proving an abundant one; and this must he regarded as a matter of congratula tion to every one, when it is considered into what a sad state of disturbance the whole Cotton trade of the country would have been thrown had it been otherwise.

He might in troduce many others, but the Plow Stock will speak for itself whenever examined. JAMES B. MELL. Riceboro’, Liberty county, Ga. This is to certify that 1 have, with my own hands, thoroughly tested the newly invented Plow Stock of James B. Mell, Esq. In point of simplicity and perfection, l have never seen or used its equal. In it is combined every thing that 1 could wish in a Plow Stock, and it, in my opinion, is the cheapest and the best, that has ever been offered to the pub lic. 1 speak from having used it with my own hands. 1 was raised to follow the plow, and think that 1 know how one ought to run. I would cheer fully thank any one, who will thoroughly try it, to point out to me one single fault in it. It is easier upon the horse and the plowman than anv that 1 have ever used. The principle upon which you regulate the depth of the Plow is so simple, and yet so perfect, as to commend itself to any one; and the Stock isadapt ed to any kind of Plow Hoc. It is, moreover, just ■is light as any could desire it to he. I would re commend to any and all, if they wish the best and cheapest Plow Stock, without hesitation to get Mr. James B. Mi ll’s. 1). \V. Wilson. Pentield, Ga., April 15, ls.'.tt. In company with several others, I, this day, wit nessed the trial of Mr. James B. Mell’s Plow Stock, by Mr. D. \V. Wilson, and cheerfully state that all present were fully satisfied that it does everything as stated above. I would, moreover, state that I have been using them on my farm for several months, and every day serves to confirm me in the opinion of the superiority of Mr. Mell’s Plow Stock to all others now in use.
