Unis Monu ments are lasting incentives to those who view them, to imitate the virtues they commemorate, and attain bv their life and spirit. Glory and Honor. Nations share in the common sympa thies of nature, and participate in all the ho nors heaped upon their mighty dead. In look ing upon this Monument, (raised chiefly by the munificence ol’a patriotic individual,) the citi zens of these States will remember that they are brothers. They will remember that here lie the ashes of the Mother ol the “ bather 01 his Country.” They wil! acknowledge, too, this just tribute to the merits of her, who, early dep.i <>d of the support of her consort, encouraged and fostered, by precept and ex amnle. t! dawning virtues of h r illustrious son, and nurtured to njatuiitv those noble facul ties which were the ornament and glory of her waning years. They will acknowledge t the hallowed character of this romantic spot, j ever to be remembered as the place chosen for ! her private devotions—the spot to which she I often led her ofT-pring, and, pointing to tin order and beauty o! the works ot Nature, here so eminently display and, she guided their youln ftil minds to contemplate the power end bene volence of the great author of their being.— Here she taught the attributes of God—that to him, as their Creator, all praise belonged— that to glorify Him was the object of their creation, and to this end their every energy should be devoted. Here she asked as a dy ing request, that her mortal remains might rest. Hallowed be this wish—sacred this spot —lasting as Time this Monument. Let us cherish the remembrance of this hour. Let us carry with us hence, engraved on our hearts, the momory of her who is hero intered. Iler fortitude—her piety—her every grace of life— her sweet peace in death—through her sure hope of a blessed iminortalitv. To which the President or the U. States replied as follows : Sir —To you and to your colleagues of the Monumental Committee, I return my acknowl edgments for the kind sentiments you have e> • expressed towards me, and for the nattering | terms in which they have men conveyed. I cannot but feel that 1 am indebted to your par tiality, an 1 not to any services of my own, for the warm hearted reception you have given me. On this occasion, as well as on many others, in the course of a life now drawing to wards its close, 1 have found the confidence and attachment of my countrymen as far be yond tnv merits as my expectations. H e are assembled, fellow citizens, to wit ness and assist in an interesting ceremony.— More than a century has passed away since she to whom this tribute o: respect is about fi. be paid, entered upon the active scenes of life —a century fertile in wonderful events, and in distinguished men who have particated in them. Os these events our country have, fur nished her full share ; and of these distinguish ed men, she has produced a Washington. If he was “ first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of our countrymen,” we may say, without the imputation of national vanity, that, if not the first, he was in the very front rank of those, too few indeed, upon whose career mankind can look back without regret, and whose memory and example will furnish themes of eulogy for the patriot, wherever free institu tions are honored and maintained. His was no false glory, deriving its lustre from the glare of splendid and destructive actions, com mencing in professions of attachment to his country, and terminating in the subversion of her freedom. Far different is the radiance which surrounds his name and fame. It shines mildly and equally,and guides the philanthropist and citizen in the path of duty—and it will guide them long after those false lights which have at tracted too much attention, shall have been ex tinguished in darkness. In the grave before us lie the remains of his mother. Long has it been unmarked by any monumental tablet, but not unhonored. “ You have undertaken the pious duty of erecting a column to her mcnviry, and of inscribing upon lit the simple but ;, ~ rt ii-., words, “Mary the Mother of Washington.” No eulogy could •>: higher, and it appeals to the heart of every \merican. These memorials of affection and gratitude are consecrated by the practice qif all ages and nations. They are tributes of respect to the dead, but they convey practical lessons of vir tue and wisdom to the living. The mother and son are beyond the reach of human applause. But tho bright example of parental and filial ex --lienee, which th. ir conduct furnishes, can not but produce th-': most salutary effects upon our countrymen. Let their example be before us from from the first lesson which is taught the child till the mother’s duties yield to the course of preparation and action which nature prescribes for him. The address which wc have heard portrays in just colors this most estimable woman.— Tradition says, that the character of Washing- j ton was aided and strengthened, ifnot fori.-j ed, by the care and precepts of his mother, j She was remarkable for the vigor of her intel- i iect, and the firmness of her resolution. Left j in early life, the sole parent of a young and 1 . numerous family, she devoted herself with ex emplary fidelity'ofthe task f guiding and edu cating them. With limited resources she was able by care and economy, to provide for them, find to ensure them a lespeetoMe entrance up on the duties, oflife. A firm believer in the sacred truths of religion, she taught its prin ciples to her children, and incul ated an curly obedience to its injunctions. It is said by those who knew licr intimately that she acquired and maintained a wonderful ascendancy over the ar mud her. This true characteristic of genius attended her through life, arid even in it> lire! after hersonhad led iiiscountry to independence, and had been called to preside over her councils, I lie approached her with the same reverence she 1 had taught him to exhibit in early youth. Th ! course of maternal discipline, ‘>o doubi ic ‘-a jed the natural ardor of his temperninei a* I conlered upon him that power of sell cuiiiiohii , which was one of the must remarkable bails ol his character. In tracing the few recollections which can he gathered of her principles and conduct it is impossible to avoid the conviction that these were clowly interwoven with the destiny of her son. The gieat points of his character and before the wield. He who runs may read them in his whole career, as a citizen, a sol dier, a i agisttate. He possessed an unerring judgement, il’that term ran lie applied to human nature; great probity of purpose, high moral principles, perfect self possession, untiring ap plication, an enquiring mind, seeking informa tion from every quarter, and arriving at its conclusions with a full knowledge ci the sub ject ; and he added to these on inflexibility of resolution which nothing could change- but a conviction of error. Look back at the life and conduct of his mother, anil at her domestic go vernment, as they have been this day delinea ted by the chairmain of the monumental com mittee, and as they were known to her coteui poraries and have been described by them, and they will be found admirably adapted to form and dcvolope th - elements of su-. ii a character. The power of greatness was there, but had it not b *ll guided and directed by maternal so- ! licitude and judgment, its possessor, instead ot presenting to the world examples of virtue, patriotism anJ wisdom, which will be pre cious in all succeeding ages, might have ad ded to the number of those master spirits, ; whose fame rests upon the (acuities they have abused, and the injuries they have committed. How important to the females of our coun try are hese remimscences of the early life of j Washington, and of the maternal care of her upon whom its future conduct depended. Af fection less regulated by discretion, might haw changed the character of the son, and with it the destinies oi'the nation. Wc have reason to lie proud of the virtue and intelligence of our females. As mothers and sisters, and wives and daughters, their duties are perform ed with exemplary fidelity. They, no doubt, realize the great importance of the maternal character, and the pow. rial influence must it exert upon the American youth. Happy is it f"** them and our country that they have te ’ them this illustrious cxanvdc of mat “ lia j de votion, and this bright r. waid of filial success. The mother of a family who lives to witness ti e virtues of her children, and their advancenie t in life, and who are known and honored, should have no other wish on this side the grave, to gratify. The seeds of virtue and of vice are early sown, and we may often anticipate the har vest that will bo gathered. Changes no doubt, occur, but let no one pla e his hope upon these. Impressions made in infucy, ifnot inde lible are effaced with difficulty, and renewed with facility; and upon the moth -r th relore, must frequently, if not generally depend the fate of the son. Fellow Citizens, this district of country, gave Wth to Washington. The ancient Com monwealth, within whose borders we are as sembled from every portion of this happy and flourishing Union, ronowned as she is for her institutions, for her devotion to the cause of freedom and for het services and sacrifices to promote it, and for the eminent men she has sent forth to aid our country with heart and hand, in peace and war, presents a claim still stronger than these upon the gratitude of her sister States in the birth and life es Washing ton. Most of you, my friends, must speak of him from report. It is to me a source of high gratification that I can speak of him from per sonal knowledge and observation. Called by the partiality of my countrymen to (he high station once so ably filled by him, and feeling, that in all but a desire to serve you, I am un willing the opportunity should pass away with out bearing my testimony to his virtues and services. Ido this injustice toniy own feelings, being well aware, that his fame needs no feeble aid from mo. I he living witnesses of his public and private life will soon follow him to the” tomb. Already a second and a third generation are upon the theatre o! action, and the men and the events l‘ le -•.evolution, and of the interesting period between it and the firm establishment of the present constitution, must ere long live only in the pages of history. I witnessed the public conduct and private virtues of Washington, and I saw and participated in the confidence which he inspired, when probably the stability of our institutions depended upon his personal influ ence. Many years have passed over me since, but they have inert ased instead ot diminishing my reverence for his character, and my confi dence in his principles. His Farewell Ad dress, that powc rful and affirtir g appeal to his countrymen, that manual of wisdom for the American citizen, embodies his sentiments and feelings, May He who holds in his hands the fate of nations impress us all with the con viction of its truth and importance and teach us to regard its lessons as the precious legacy he has bequeathed 11s. And if, in the instabi lity of human affairs, our beloved country | should ever be exposed to the disasters which | have overwhelmed the other Republics that j have preceded us in the world, may Provi j denee, when it suffers the hour of trial to come, j raise up a VI ashington to guide us in averting the l danger. Fellow-Citizens: At your r, quest and in your name, I now depisit.- this plate in the spot destined for it—and when the Amercan pilgrim shall in after ages, come up to this high and holy place and lay his hand upon this sacred column, may he recall the virtues of her who sleeps beneath, and ih-part with his at” factions purified and his pi. ty strengthened, while li .uv'okc ibk-asings upon the memory ofthe Mo ther of Washington.

Willyou as a slave holding state, give up a right as sacred as thi3, which lias so justly been guaranteed to you; for depend upon it, if you yield one single right m these struggling times for power, you will yield it forever. The Constitu tion of tile United Stales, has recognised this right ujion your part; the Constitution of this State, has guaranteed it to you; and w ill you abandon it to gratify a few time serving political demagogues. Just as sure as you relin quish it in the state, you will soon find attempts made to deprive you ofits benefits in Congress; where you arc al ready too weak to get any thing like even handed justice, and your relinquishment in this instance, will be a strong argument against you in the oilier, which in all probabili ty, will settle the principle upon you and your posterity af ter you, forever. Then you will not only huve to complain of protecting systems, but you will find minorities over ruling majorities, in your State as well as in Congress, and the consequence will be, your power di minished; your number lessened down to a few, and that few cramped, and fettered to suit the contracted views, and political designs of those who have brought this bant ling of party manufacture before you. Another difficulty presente itself to us. It is well known to all who have resided in Georgia for the last ten years, that party spirit has been too prevelcnt here, for the” good of the country, and it is also well known that these parties frequently arise from causes of very mi ner importance, and magnify in a few years time to such an alarming height, as to destroy a great por tion ofthat friendly and social intercourse and feeling, winch ™ so 3Urc to P roduce those festering, rankling prejudices, that you have not only seen in others, but felt tho dire effects of yourselves. Lcttlie proposed system go into operation and what will be the effect? Parties will rise up in every ilirection, every county, no matter what may be the odds against her in numbers, will start a candidate fo* senate, and every man of that county will be prompted by local causes, and sectional feelings, to support his county man; no matter what his merit o'r qualifications compared with those of his opponent, in the neighboring county,composing l,is senatorial distric*, and you will have ■ m addition to the present number of parties in the State, already too numerous, as many as there are counties com -1 l in f _ r leS'tate.

Governor Lumpkin. —The presuraptious request of so | gentleman to publish the late cm respondence between 1 himself and Lewis Cass, Eibcrt Herring, and others, was I attended to ill our last weeks paper. The Governor head* the correspondence in this kind of begging,and at the same ; time imposing way. which seems to be bis chief hobbv t whenever he finds it necessary to resort to his well known and tricks and artifices in electioneering. He says, in order ‘1 to correct various misrepresentations, circulated tiiroug!i I the press, and other cho nnels. I have to request nen spa- I per Editors friendly to the great interest of the coiintr and especially Georgia, to publish the following com; i pondenco. Th? Governor then gcc3 on to say to Air. > Herring, at tho office of Indian affairs, that he, a few da” 1 since addressed a letter to the I'resident of the Unite! States, on the subject of cur Indian illations. Is there j any thing strange in this, that the Governor of Georgia, !* should write a letter to tho President ofthe United States, 5j or that he should write lo JVlr. Herring, or to any body I else. But ne says, lie writes this letter inclosing tho copj . (of a copy,) of a letter received by him a few days since, from a rcspc<table gentleman who resides near John Ross, and that gentleman, with various others, informs i him that Ross, is exhibiting (an indiscreet letter,) to the ignorant Indians, and Indian countrymen, impressing a belief on them, that he is authorized to say that the whites f settled here w ill soon be driven out, fee. Now if the Governor’s object, in publisliingjhis corns pondenco, was whathe himself says it was,tocoriectmir representations—why did ho, not say, circulated by John Ross, instead of saying through tho press, and varium other channels. For ourselves wo deny ever saying anv thing about John Ross’ indiscrete letter, as tho Governor, pleases to call it, and we aiso deny ever saying any tiring in favor of the settlers of this country, being driven off’d their land, but have always said when speaking upon tho subject that we would resist such orders with force,^whence er attemptcd,no matter from what quarter tliey were mace to drive us,and vve recollect no instance of any press in tin state having said one word about this indiscrete Utter oJJob: Ross’ or in any manner having encouraged a belief that, the people here would submit to be drove off” from this country. No tho whole t: uth is Governor Lumpkin, has got op position, he expects hefore tire first monday in octotw j next, to hear something circulated through Ihe press, anil other channels about the discharge of the Missionaries, and various other matters. And he wants to take a run ning start, by crying out land, land, land, Cherokee land, which the legislature of Georgia, has taken the liberty oi distributing among her citizens by lottery, which Gov. Lumpkin has had no more to do with, than any ot’icr man would have had under similar circumstances, placed as he was, in the Executive chair of Georgia, it is true that the Governor says in ids mighty correspondence, tint he has written a letter to General Jackson, and we won der from the manner in which he has so complete!; exposed his object in the very extensive publication oi this correspondence. Under Ins ExcellenciesExccutiverc. quest: that he had not hint:d to you a iittle more plainly, than he did, by the publication, that because Ik writes to General Jackson and Jackson writes to to again that if you were Jackson men, you must sup port him for Governor, but from our opinions of Governoi Lumpkin’s course should we get into a difficulty about this land, he would endeavor to smother over the matter, as long as he could, and when lie saw danger approach- 1 ing, he would hollow submission then, as loud a3 he can laud now. As an evidence of it—he turned the mis sionaries out of tho penitentiarv, put there too under a direct and positive statute of the state which be was sworn to support and defend, rather than take upon himself, the responsibility nsisting a decree of the Supreme Court, ofthe United States, which he was then led to believe would be made against us, in the Cbcro kee case, by that tribunal of prejudice and corruption. —■'zgagi'- It is with painful emotions, wc have just learned that ROBERT LIGON, sen.
