\ a Custom Bouse In Pittsburgh.
On the strength of a telegraphic despatch from
' Washington city, we announced a few days ago that
the item appropriating $75,000 for the erection of a
Custom House in Pittsburgh, was stricken ont ot tho
- general Appropriation Bill. Tho Gazette-of yes
terday contains a letter from Washington, in which
-r- it is stated that tbo matter was reconsidered by the!
Senate, and the clause making provisions for the
erection of a CastomlHonsc, reinstated tn the Bill,
end that in this shape it becamo a law. IT this
tarns out to bo true, every citizen of Pittsburgh will
rejoice* And, moreover, we are Tree to say, that it
will be a tall feather in the cap ofMoscs Hahptoh!
We shall, give Hauptox a puff one of Uicbc days
that will do his soul good ! The following is the
letter in the Gazette;
I congratulate Pittsburgh upon a clause in the!
: Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill just -passed j
into a law. That clause contains an appropriation of j
$75,000 to erect a bmlding in the city of Pittsburgh,
to contain a Custom House, Post Office, and United
States court room, and offices. It will bo a beautiful |
addition to your thriving city. Tho efforts of your i
. faithfbl representative were constant and effectivo to:
getjhe appropriation into the bill, while in.the House.
In the Senate, the item was struck out by the Com?
mittee, but Mr. Hampton was busy there also, and
was successful in making Senators underotand that
tbo appropriation was proper and deserved their
votes. Mr. H. has been a working member, but he
baa dißUngnisbcd the last night of his Congressional
labors by an achievement which entitles him to the
grttitndeof bis townsmen of Pittsburgh. Tho sue*
cess of the effort was not the result of fipeechMna*
king; very little success comes in that way ; but
gentlemanly intercourse and constant attention pro
cured the good, of which Pittsburghers may felicitate
themselves. C.
The Pennsylvania Argot, at Greenaburgh, of t ie
7th instant, comes to us with the name of our towns
man, Col. Sajtoel W. Buck raised to us mast
head for. Governor, subject to the decisiou of the!
Democratic State Convention. It will be remem* i
bered that ibe Democracy, of old Westmoreland, m
public meeting, on the 251 h of February, unanimous
ly declared that Col. B. waa their choice for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. The editor ot the Argus
thus eloquently alludes to tho gallant Colonel: —
«Id gratifying tho wishes of onr friends, we arc!
.happy to say that we do no violence to onr own |
feelings. The gallant Colonel is, and has. been,!
onr first choice Jbr that office. As a soldier the
■ Colonel stands foremost among the bravest, ol the]
brave. He is a pure, honest, whole-BOulcd., umm>
peachablc Democrat. Ho has a great deal of origin
nllity in his composition —and is justly counted to
rank among the first men of tho uatiQn-~cuthcr sb
an orator, a statesman or a soldier. His iiomman
tionwould be hailed with enthusiasm, and sustained
by an onanimity not exceeded by any previous
nomination.
- “In expressing our preference for ihe-ga!lant Col.
Baxxusl W. Black, of Pittsburgh, who ib so well
known for his exalted talents, indisputable integrity,
ardent patriotism and bravery in the battlcvfield,
and palpable and radical Democracy, wo do no in
justice to other gentlemen who have been named in j
connection with the office of Governor ofPcnneyl* i
vanla. If he should ho nominated, all doubts of
success would be scattered to the winds.”

- A meeting of tho citizens ,of Allegheny and I
Washington counties, was held in Canonsburgh on I
the 24th ult., for the purpose ol taking into con-. I
siderarion the utility of Plank Roads, and the j
propriety of taking measures to secure a sufficient 1
amount of stock to complete a Plank Road from I
that place to Pittsburgh, in connection with other I
companies that are now chartered. Wm. Mc«|
Daniel, of Canonsbargh, was called to the chair,
and John Gilfiilan, Esq., of Allegheny county, and
James McClelland, Esq., of Canonsburgh, appoint'
ed Vice Presidents. Robert Caldwell, Esq., and I
Edward Wright, wore appointed Secretaries.
Dr. John B. Stilly, from a committee appointed
at a previous meeting, made a report, which, on
motion of Gen, Callahan, was ordered to be
printed with the proceedings of the meeting.
The meeting was addressed by several gentle'
men, and. the utility of Plank Roads, over all
others, clearly demonstrated, in regions clearly
Agricultural. It was stated that Roads that were
now in operation were paying larger dividends
than almost any other descriptions of stocks. On
'motion of Maj. Watson, a committee was ap>
' .pointed to attend the different meetings that are
to be held on the subject of plank Roads, in that
and the adjoining counties, and'report at a subse,
quent meeting. Messrs. Thomas Watson, James |
McCullough and Joseph Brown were appointed i
said committee.
• The meeting then adjourned to meet on the 2d
Taesday of April at the same place.
We publish below the concluding paragraph of
■ the report alluded to above.
On the whole, the committee are of the opin
ion that the interests of Washington and Alle.
gheny counties would be greatly promoted by
the construction of a Plank .Road uniting their
capitals. The advantages of the farming and
traveling community would be enhanced, so that
it would afford a safe and profitable investment
■ of capital to the stockholders, and that it would
afford facilities for quick and easy communication
between the respective county seats, and the in*
termediate points, far superior to any heretofore
known. All of which is respectfully submitted.
Xbs Health of Senator Benton.
Some unfounded reports to the contrary having
been in circulation yesterday, wo take pleasure in
stating that Senator Bebtob’s health continnes to
improve—that he is, in fact, convalescing very last.

Special Correspondence of ihe Morning Post.
HABttisßDno, March 3,1851,}
3 o’clock, P. M. J
My Dear Post: Here we are—Senators, Repre
sentatives, Clerks and Reporters—all kafe, sound,
and in session, doing the business of a Pennsylva*
nia Legislature.
This morning, at 6 o’clock, we were ot the
National Hotel in Washington City, the Capital of
the United States. A great country, this—won*
derful, indeed 1
Allow me to give you a sketch of an excursion
about which you have undoubtedly heard much by
[his time.
On Friday of last week, after a full morning
session of that day, the Pennsylvania Legislature
left this place, no the York and Cumberland and
the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroads, for tho
Monumental City.
■ Passing over the newly opened and excellent
York and Cumberland Road, we arrived at Welch’s
Railroad Hotel, m York, where a bountiful and
tasteful collation was prepared for the company,
the enjoyment of which led all to exclaim, iu the
i fullness of their souls, “Now is the winter of our
| discontent made glorious summer by the sons of
York.”
We then mounted the flying cars of the Balti*
mote and Susquehanna Road, and leaping with
lightning speed over what has been called 11 Ma*
son and ■ Dixon’s line,” while every look and ex
pression of every Pennsylvanian aboard told plain
ly that they felt as much contempt for this unnat
ural, imaginary nonentity of a division of free
republican States, as Remus felt when be leaped
over the walls of infant Rondo; and though the
same fraternal ire were to be measured in this
I case as was met in that, no Pennsylvanian will
| ever shrink from the denial that any such odious
line ever existed in reality, or. held any acknow*
ledgment in the hearts of the American people.
Arriving in Baltimore, at 8 o’clock in the even*
ing, we were booked up at the Eutaw House,
where a rich banquet had been prepared by the
entertaining proprietor of that celebrated hotel; i
and it was a banquet 1 Snch another splendid and
bountiful entertainment few who were guests on
this occasion ever saw surpassed. It may truly
be said, that the sumptuousness of the affair was
equalled only by the hospitable and graceful qual
ities of those who were concerned in getting it up.
There is no place where Baltimoreans are known,
that they are not favorably known. To witness
but for once their warm and open manners, and
their whole souled hospitality, is to be captivated
by tbeir endearing traits of character, and to be
i left long to cherish the same in a pleasant remem
brance.
But indescribably luxurious and magnificent as
all the table entertainments were, they did not
equal the intellectual feast which was there en
joyed. Few occasions of the kind, in the memory
of any one, have ever been attended with so much
display of intelligence, patriotism, liberality, and
refiued and uoble sentiment, as characterised this
one so eminently and so conspicuously.
After the board-had been relieved A its tempt
ing burden of bounty, amid the fierce clashing of
knives and forks, &c., mingled with the inspiring
strains of Valandt's Brass Band, which was in at
tendance, the voice of the spirit began to be heard,
(pop! pop!) and the soul of your bumble servunt
overflowed, and created considerable noise in call
ing for speakers and responding applause to their
eloquence. Such was the fact, Mr. Editor—l ask
your pardon; but alt others of the company weie
perfectly sober, so long as the memory of the un
dersigned served him with any degree of distinct
ness Given under my hand and seal, &c. [L.S.]
The head of the table was graced by the Gov
; ernor of Maryland, the Mayor of Baltimore, the
President of the Baltimore and Susquehanna Rail
road Company, Gen. Wm. F. Packer, Hon. Henry
A Muhlenberg and Hon John R. Walker, of the
Penna. Senate ; Hon. John Cessna, Speaker of the
House of Representatives of Penna., together with
several other distinguished individuals, embranng
the Pennsylvania Heads of Departments, Canal
Commissioners, and members of the Legislature
—your humble servant being a little further down,
tt rttira;
The second regular toast of the evening being
highly complimentary to the Executive and the
Stale of Pennsylvania, was responded to by the
Hon. John Cessna, in his usual able and eloquent
manner. This speech abounded in fervent devo
tion to the Union, and closed with a sentiment in
honor of Enoch Louis Lowe, Governor of Mary*
land, to which that accomplished gentleman an.
swered in tones of enthusiastic and patriotic elo
quence. Gov. Lowe is a real Marylander, and a
lull pattern of a man iu every respect.
To the fourth regular toast, complimentary to
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the Hon. Henry
A. Muhlenberg, of the Penna. Senate, replied in a
speech comporting well with his well-known and
commanding abilities. He spoke of the natural
and social bonds of union and interest between
Pennsylvania and'Maryland—of the common per*
ila and struggles which these two States endured
iq Revolutionary days—and described with that
life and beauty which so plainly characterizes that
accomplished and gifted Senator in all his produc
tions, the great Susquehanna river, gushing up
from the heart of Pennsylvania, and pouring itself
as a tribute into the great iife-current, the pulsa
ting flood of Maryland. Mr. Muhlenberg stirred
up the deepest feeling of the audience in admira
tion of his powerß of oratory, and closed with the
i following sentiment, which breathes such moving
and awaking eloquence as seldom lives in the
same number of words of any language:
I TAs Soldiers of Maryland. —On every battle-field,
I from Camden to tho field on which the ga|lant Ring-
I gold breathed his last, they have nobly sustained
I the honor of their country, and proved themselves
1 worthy of iho encomium of the dying hero DeKalb
I—“My gallant Marylanders, they fought like he-
I roes!” .
After loud and repeated calls, which had long '
been heard, of “ Packer, Packer,” from all parts of !
the House, the sth regular toast, referring to the j
local and national advantage and importance of tho 1
great public vyorks of Pa., called out the speech of
the occasion, from Gen. Wm. F. Packer, tho mas
ter-spirit;-''whose/intelligence, influence and elo
quence are now stamped apon many foatores of oar
public improvements, and which will, in future, d|.
rcct tho public mind in shaping many more. No
man in : . the United States has so much practical
knowledge of the internal improvements and the ins
land commerce of the country, as this distinguished
Pennsylvania Senator, and his fame in this respect
is not confined to his otvn State, bat is widely
known and acknowledged.
Gen. Packer, after some very appropriate and at
| tractive introductory remarks, relative to the occa
i ston, presented the business of inland trade and
navigation in this country with such force and per
| spicuity as must have made every liearor understand
its nature and importance. His language on this
occasion, though highly ornamental and eloquent,
was the language of conviction, and of close and
conclusive demonstration. He drew the attention
of Baltimorianß, as he had often heretofore the at*
tcntion of Pennsylvanians, and especially of Phiia*
delpbians, to the Immense trade of tho great Lakes,
and gave accounts to show that itsmounted to $lB6,
000,000 annually—that the two great Northern cities,
New York and Boston, rivals of Philadelphia and
Baltimore, were now, as they bad been heretofore,
making use of every means to draw that trade to
their own markets which ought to come to Phils*
delpbia and Baltimore.
He also showed that Baltimore and Philadelphia
I were nearer to Elmyra, the groat outlet of the Lake
trade, than either New York or Boston; that not
only Philadelphia and Baltimore, but Pennsylvania
I and Maryland] were alike interested in uniting to*
I gclher in their efforts to secure the mighty com-
I mcrce of the Great West, with her inland seaß, by
.] moans of a direct Railroad communication from the
I head waters of the Susquehanna to the shnrea of
I Lake Eric; orfrom their own doors to some point
1 on that Lake. This very able and.conclusiveargnv
J raeni on xhiß subject was made in his peculiar forci-
I ble, convincing style, and in bis deep and fervid
| j eloquence. But any outline that can be given of it
j will only presaat a faint and imperfect idea of its
1 i t*; ,■ .
.« ' u j. vv. Y . *»* v.
"■' •*»' ; « r ? '' ■' ’■•• ■- ' -t *«■
really ouperlail7c.Cittataclcr. ThD manner or Gen.
Packer’s oratory is animated, energetic, adapted to
any circumstances, and equal to any occasion, bat
perhaps best suited to occasions of great interest,
excitement and .itnportancc—when great matters
are at stake or under consideration. His efforts in
affairs of email moment appear like the use of an
engine In killing'a fly—-but matters of.magniludp
never seem mißplaccd in his hands.
In allusion to the political condition of the coun»
try ho remarked, that although he had ollon hoard
of Mason and Dixon’s line, he had never seen it--
that while coming from his own State to Maryland
ho had looked for it, but that it was not thcro, and
ho bohovod there was no such lino in existence—
"he bad scon no Frith mountain* river or other bar«
Tier that should divide nations of a fraternal eharac
tor and common origin, and certainly nono that
were well adapted to make the boundary line of na*
lions less friendly in their character and relations.,
He concluded this noble speech by saying mat ne i
felt assured that on all occasions which required it,
Pennsylvania and Maryland, like their own Susque
i hanns. would unito together in one “kindred drop,”
i and rejoice in that Union, as it should enable them
[ more effectually tb.contribute to the great cause of
tho common country in the enjoyment "and''defence
of its Union, its liberty and its independence.
Gon. Packer concluded, and left the stand amid
the most enthusiastic and long continued plaudits of
his delighted auditory—undersigned having learned
when it ccaeod only by hearing his own voice sound*
ing loud and alone, while ho was hardly conscious
or making an effort at noise. After the conclusion
of this speech the company was In a measure bro*
ken up, though several sentiments.were offored and
responded to; among which was one from Mr. E. A.
Penniman, of Philadelphia county, complimentary I
to Gen. Simon Cameron, and one by J, H. Carter, of
Baltimore, complimenting the Pennsylvania Farm*
ers, to both of which Gen. Cameron responded with
much truthfulness and eloquence—passing well de«
served encomiums upon the tillers of the soil in the
one cbbq, and some very appropriate remarks upon
the unity of interest of Pennsylvania and Maryland
—also rehearsing several pleasant reminiscences in
the early history of those States.
Thus closed our very liberal and creditable enter*
tcrlainme&t, givon to the Pennsylvanians by tho
Baltimoreans. But this was not all that tho Mary*
land hpart demanded in.kindly offices, and another
was tendered, and cren urged upon us, by the City
authorities, to come off on our return from Wash
ington on Monday night; but circumstances con
nected with tho homeward voyage, and the necessity
of being in session on 51onday afternoon, as we now
aro, rendered it impossible to accept ibis proffered
honor.
To-morrow or next day I will give you some fur
ther account of our trip, including our experiences
at the Capital. As ever, faithfully, &c.,

The Valley of the Schuylkill.
The Norristown Free Press, alluding to the growth
of tbo Schuylkill Valley, says its population in the
last ten years has increased 11,109. Of this increase
8,255 was in the boroughs and townships Uordoriug
on the Schuylkill, and only 2,814 in the remaining
portion of the county, embracing 21 of the 30 town
ships. It adds—
u Tho Valloy of the Schuylkill, from its moatb to
its source, comprises a district ofcountry unsurpao
sed in its advantages, its resources, and us prosperi
ty, by any other portion of the United States of the
same extent, ifindecd, it can be equalled anywhere.
Within its limits arc to bo found all tbo elements
which, with energy and enterprise, are necessary to
constitute a great and flourishing country. It embra
ces within its limits a soil scarcely surpassed in fer
tility, inexhaustible quantities of limestone, marble,
iron nod coal; also, copper, lead, kaoline, and other
minerals. It it traversed its whole extent by one ofthe
best constructed railroads in the Union ar.d by a ca
nal and slack water navigation, tbo first work of the
kini, we believe, projected in the United States.—
Its water power isiramonso. Such a district, it was
to be expected, woultTshow a rapid increase of pop
ulation by tbo census which has just been taken.
The Prelude to the Duel.
In the debate on Thursday last on the River and
Harbor bill, the following passage of words occur
red ; between Inge of Alabama and Stanly of North
Carolina. It was the provocation to the feadlcsc
duel.
Mr. Inge asked, when did the gentleman from
North Carolina over perceive anything iiko injustice
in the American Congress! If we of the South
wait to bo warned by him, wo will sleep until tho
assault has been commenced, and the spoliation of
the South comtommated.
Mr. Stanty said ho did nut know whst bo had
done to incur tho gentleman's displeasure.
Mr. Inge—-I merely stated facts, and drew ray in
ferences.
Mr.Stanly—The gentleman had lutlo sense and
less character, if ho says that I am not a fritted of the
South.
Mr. loge—l say tho remark is ungenilemanly and
unjust, and comes from a blackguard.
Mr. Stanly said be would show the House and
tho country that he (Mr.-T.) ia a blackguard.
The Chair—Personalities arc not in order.
Mr. Stanly—No, sir, they ore not. Let my con
duct and my votes show whether I sm not a better
friend to tho South than the noisy traitor who seeks
applause at the grog shops at home, by eternally
sounding panics, whether there is danger or not.—
I beg pardon for answering the gentleman from Al
abama. He cast the first stone, and 1 will always
treat remarks from that quarter in the manner they
deserve.
The Butter Trade.— Tbo following were the
prices of baiter at various periods at tho Green
wich Hospital, in England, as given by McCul-
In 1762 10 cents per lb.
In 1790 13 -•
In 1806 23 ••
In 1812— -31 -•
Assuraiog thc population of tho United States at
twenty-two millions, and that each person con
sumes half a pound per wcok, tbo annual consump
tion will be five hundred and covonty-two millions
of pounds; which at fourteen conls a pound aro
worth upwards of 880,000,000. The average pro*
dace per cow of butter has been estimated at 168
pouuda per annum, therefore 3,405,000 cows would
be required to produce that amount of butter.
Oumaob in Court.— The Raleigh Regitter say a
that on the 20lh inst. a daring outrago was commit
ted in tho court house of Wake county. The con
stable of the court and city, Mr. James H. Murry,
was sitting within thc bar, when John Williamson
came up behind him.aud struck him with all his force,
with a rock which ho held in bis hand, stunning and
felling him to the floor. Williamson was held to
bail in the sum of §5,000, and also s tenccd to two
months imprisonment, and to pay a fine of $5O, for
the contempt of court. Mr. Murry was recovering
from.bis wound, which had noarly proved fatal.
South Carolina U. S. Senator.—lt is stated that
Mr. Rhett has expressed his determination to resign
his scat, and that Mr Butler, bis colleague, has also
stated that he will not come back any more. By
the census just taken, it appears, too, that South
Carolina will lose two members of Congress.
This Beats Bllte.— Evelyn's Diary, referring to
Richardson, tho faraooß juggler, who living some
200 years ago, says
“Ho devoured brimstone on glowing coals before
us, chewing and swallowing them; ho melted a beer
glass and ate it quite up; then taking a live coal on
his tongue, he put on it a raw oyster, the coal was
blown on with tho bellows till it flamed and spark
led iri his mouth, and so remained until Che oyster
gaped and was quite boiled. Then be melted pitch
aod wax with sulphur, which he drank down as
it flamed; 1 saw it flaming in his mouth a good while;
he also took up a thick piece of iron, such as laun
dresses use to put in their smoothing boxes, when
it wae fiery hot, held it between his teeth, then in
his band and threw it about like a stone; but this l
observed, he cared not to hold very long; ihea ho
stood on a small pot, and bending his body took a
glowing iron with his moalh from between his feet,
without touching the ground or pot with biis hands;
with divers other prodigious-reals."
Sale or Mrs. Madison's Pictures.— 'The sale at
Washington ofthe effects belonging to the estato of
the lamented Mrs. Madison drew together, on Fri>
day, a large company. The best portrait or Wash
ington, by Staart, sold to a gentleman of New York,
for cash, s3ooi That of Jefferson by the same ar
tist, at $260, to Governor Coles. Portrait of James
Madison was taken by, the same - gentleman at $235
Dr. Caasten purchased that of Mrs. Madison, at
-8270. Portrait of John Adams, (the elder) 5160* to
thc same gentleman who pnrchased'the first picture.
Portrait of Monroe, $5O, to Gov. Coles. Several
other paintings went off at 85 to 925. One of the
large pictures, for which Mrs. Madison refused
83000, and others of less value, were withdrawn by
tfie administrator, there being do bids for them. Tho.
carpet on the front parlor, iii good elate of preserva
tion, was ascertained to be one hundred end ,eighty
year told. It is Kidderminster, and was withdrawn
at $l7.

m the House to-day by a vote of 42 to 36 aga.net it.l
I am sorry that It met such a fate. Tho work of
Mr. Brown is of vast importance to the State at large,
and would, if the number of copies proposed to be
subscribed for were distributed in .accordance with: I
the provisions of the resolution, have served to
awaken attention-in regard to the.great value ofthe
wool interests in the State of Pennsylvania, Wool
growing is a subject to which the attention of our
farmers has never been sufficiently directed. Wes*
tern Pennsylvania, and particularly Washington j
county, is most interested in this matter. • |
Speaking of wool, reminds me of the fact thatl
the first number of a new Agricultural Journal will I
be published in the course of the present month, at I
Lancaster City. It will bo a first class paper, equal
in every respect to the best Agricultural Journal I
published in the Onion. Its typographical appear
ance will be of the first: character jAvbile, from the
known ability of the 1 gentlemen whoso names.ore
enrolled on the list of regular contributors, .1 have j
little hesitancy in asserting that it will, in every re
spect, be a journal worthy to represent the great
agricultural interests of the groat State of Pennsyl
vania. Is it not a little singular that with a farming
population second, only to one other Statq in the j
Union, Pennsylvania has not a single paper de-1
voted to agriculture,, unless we except that Tariff !
monthly, u The Plough, Loom and Anvil.” TUsI
to be hoped that the enterprise shortly to bounder* I
taken will meet with warm and generous support. I
Many of the ablest and most influential men in tho j
State hove given it their countenance and support; j
and I have no doubt the effort to establish a first
rate Pennsylvania Agricultural paper will be sue*
cessful. It will bo published monthly, inform andl
general appearance Uko the Cultivator.”
Should any of the friends of agriculture in your sec
tion of tho country, (and there should be a host,)
desire any further information, they can obtain it.

This distinguished Statesman, it is expected, will
visit Fredericksburg between the Dili and lOtb of ncxt 1
month in compliance With an invitation from the j
citizens of this place ©f both parlies. Mr. Buchan. J
an comes amongst us aa a pfivato citizen, to whom i
the South and the Uniaulnr© indebted tor eminent <
and patriotic -
Tho course of Mr. Buchanan on tbe slsvory quea* (
lion has been such ss reflects upon him imperisha- .
ble credit. He took (beside of patriotism and lion
etty. Ho ever contended that the South was the
injured parly—that the aggressions were upon the
slaveholder,’by whom unjust legislation had been i
ecdurcd until subraisafod bad almost ceased to bo a
virtue. He was the first Northern statesman who
avowed his adherence to the Missouri Compromise,
He believed it the (rue ground on which the territori
al question should be adjusted. Wo heard.no voice
from the North but his support of Mason, and
Hunter, and Berrien, and Dawson, and the other
Southern Senators who planted themselvqs upon
this Compromise line. >He defended it as a com
promise in which the South, at its adoption, hid
made tbe largest concessions. Now, that it was to
work to their benefit, it was no more than common
honesty it should he observed.
Not was U in this alone Mr. Buchanan displayed
a magnanimity worthy of all commendation. His
private letters alike with his public communications
nreatbed tho same kindly feeling to the South.-
Wo have scon several letters to his friends, in which
•he apoke of theso things as an honest man would
wrilo them.
Since tbo adoption of the measures known as tho
Compromise, Mr. Buchanan abided by them as a
compromise of difficulties*
As a friend of tbo South and tbo Union, with a
disclaimer of any connection with party feeling, the
citizens of Fredericksburg and tbe adjoining cquqv
try, proposo to tender him the compliment of a pub*
lie dinner, to comb off on some day early in next

( Them is no point ip the Union so suitable for a
meeting as Fredericksburg. Just on the borders of
the two contending sections, it is neutral :grouod,
on which both panios may meot and renew pledges
, of harmony and friendship, which arc essential to a
happy Union of tbcsb States. It, was bore that
Washington first imbibed those lessons, of virtuo
* which are so eloquently illustrated In his faro woll
address. At tltis spot rests the remains of his illus

peculiarly proper is if, then, that hero the North
and South should meet, and amid scenes inspiring
such hallowed associations, plodgo themselves to
* the observance of each others* VighU, and the devo>
k tion of their pewerrto the perpetuation of such a
