will thus furnish more matter; thin in provided tly many

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT
The following remarks, relative to the plans and ob. ,
Jects of the Washington National Monument Associa- -
lion, were handed us a few days ago, and we take
pleasure is laying them before our readers.
.The board of managers have determined to resume
the collections which have been for some time suspen
ded. It is proper to state, for the information ~ o f the
people, that the amount of Aimee Subscriptions' have
been profitably invested, and now furnish a fund of
about 860,000. The delay in cornntencing the' Monu
ment has.been occasioned by the want of a proper site
on which to-erect it. This difficulty is now obviated.
The object is to erect at the. Seit of Government, a
Monument which shall, by its colossal magnitude and
Imposing grandeur, exhibit to the remotest ages the gra
titude of a nation of freemen, to a man whose exalted
• good 'sense and pure virtues have FO pre-eminently.
contribtweil to- their happiness. It is true that the
"storied urn, the animated bust," or the splendid mau
soleum cannot call hack the departed spirit, or "soothe
the dull cold ear of death," but it is equally true, that
it does manifest the veneration of the living for those
who have passed away fwever from the stage of life,
• and left behind them the cherished memory of their .
citizens. The chaid.cter of Washington is identified
with the glory and greatness of his country—lt bnlongs
to history, into which it has infused a Moral grandeur
I. and beauty. ° It is not to transmit the name or taine'of
• -the illustrious Washington to future ages, that a Moan
ment should be erected to his memory, but to show that
the people of this republic are. not ungrateful, and that
:t° they desire to manifest their love of eminent 'public and
,Private virtues by some enduring memorial, which,
,11 like the pyramids of Egypt, shall fatigue time by its
t,—duration. T. J. Fenn, Esq., of Harrisburg, has been
appointed the agent of the association, to solicit and ,
receive subscriptions for this Congressional District.
and will call personally on our citizen's for such con
, tributiotis as they may feel willing to make in furtberl

A MODERN MIRACLE!

importaneadvantages - of not witty effectually preventing
the wires from being individually twisted, but by lay

—This is the title of a new and improved arithmetical
Work, by Limon Ticknor, Esq., and which is calculated
to supercede those-heretofore in general use. Mr. T.

and has based the leading 'principles and arrangement
of the book upon the actual deficienczei of others, and
the known objects of practical business-education. 41i

almost entirely omitted. The student or private , learner
is therefore ingoduced 'at once to our own times and
currency, and the examples being mostly Ulustrahve of
'every day-business transactions, he is enabled to wts and
understand thoroughly the different relation■ of the
figures, and the rules defining their .value. Thus, the
brickmaker. „joiner, mason, carpenter, slater, plasterer,
tiler, painter, blacksmith, &c. will 'find examples by
which almost any. bthsinessaalculation May be resolved'
at once, and the nature of a job or contract clearly dem
onstrated. There is almost an entire abandonment of
the theory and puzzle which usually mark otl4r works
of similar character, and the eubstitution of practical
common-sense—by which the learnei is made to com
prehend the true object of the exercise, and rendded
fathiliar with the nature of business.
While many of the arithmetics now in use am merely
compilations from former works, (some of them abridg
ments of English copy-tights) this book is perfectly
original, and exclusively American in character and
design;--adapted to our actual wants, our tastes,
currency and nut feelings. • '

ANECDOTE Or A RAT.

nuity of the rat tribe. Rats, so railed. are generally
well known in the depredations they are wont to coin- .

customers that have boldly invaded our territory, and
carried off stumps of candles, contrary to the usuges.of

in which the candle=sticks are !deposited, and at the

something yet between the floor and the Candles, and 1
suspecting the fact, as we presume, they spldenly ceas

. * THE dXVIICAX-INDIAN
Ma. Elmo* p—We design occasionally to pen a few
lines on various subjects, which if meeting your anpro
batiori may be allotteti a corner in your valuable Journal.
If not disproVed our main object will be"answered,
viz: to renew an exercise once occupyinpitieh of our
time, which we found profitable, at leasii ffc-a mental
point of view.
We have chosen for our present subject., 6e Sons of
the Forest, the Red map, the untutored chilettif datum.
There it something intuitively itapressiCe in looking
upon a, noble mould, containinrah indistructable pro.
perty, and standing out in foremost ground untainted
by the effeminancy of art, and' untiaminelted by fictitious
or arbitrary usage: The thought associated with such
a spectacle is, that it proudly rests upon its own legiti
mate bails, and sustains ita character independent of
foreign influence. Admiration succeeds as a natural se.
quence what is generally impressive in such en exhibi-
Lion, and holds the predotninence, however long the at
tention maybe directed to the object. With no intel
lectual being can the traits We'have named be found so
closely and largely identified as in the Aborigines- of
our country in their prinhtive state. When we say
primitive, we mean so far so as still admits of. their
roaming ad libitum; without fixed habitation, without
association with the white man; making the dark,lone
ly forests the chosen places of their repose, and its soli
tude their happiness and 'fancied security. We do not.,
intend to go into the history 'of these wild children of
nature—this may be obviated, for their annals, since
civilization found them, are written in their own blood,
and in deeply drawn characters. We would pass by
what they have passed - through, as a people, at the
hands of those profesiang to be their superiors in jus
tice, and all that adorns, human nature ; not wishing to '
excite humanity'ivear at the recital of their wrongs and
Misery. It will 'devolve upon the future historian to do
tire poor Indian justice ; and when the- excitement and
prejudice and passion in usual exercise in the usutha-,
tion of territory, shall give place to calm reflection, and
an exercise othonestjudgment, the blush will be raised
upon many an 'Americanl cheek, at a palicy.enactedand
carried out against an unoffending people, the develop
ment of which has driven the iron into the very soul.—
But again, we would say, that an analysis Of the gener
al history of the Aboriginals of our country is not the
design of our remarks at the present time ; and we will
pass on to the ground we intended to select as our at i ena
of observation. Our earliest recollections are associa
ted with the red man. A powerful tribe had their semi-
annual rendezvous in the town of our nativity, tli,d
often three nr foitr hundred would be present on leks
important occasions. And during the last ten years, in
our varied exclusions, we have met with members of .
almost 'every tribe on the NOrth American Continent.
By being early impressed with the originality and real
grandeur of the Indian character, we have ever, since
loved to trace their history, meet them, observe their
action, and listen lb their talks. It to well known, that
In stature, the Aboriginals of our country are generally
formidable, combining fine symmetry of proportion, and'.
possessing strorigly marked and most expressive coun
vett:it-lees'. They possess large ideality—hence their s
- beautififf figures, and figurative language. They have
beet' termed natural logicians; and no intelligent per
son can fail to detect, in listening to them, a severe or
der of logic, not a superfluous word can be detected, and
the structure of language would often do credit to the
most able rhetoriciasl Thiry possess pass ion in a large
degree-thence their Usually impassioned address. They
abound in gesture; and these, are of the most graceful
:and dignified character. It will he seen, in the mum
' eration we have made of the physical and mental qual
ities of the Indian, that they possess in an eminent de
gree the properties necessary to make up the true Ora
tor; and this they are. It will be conceded that those
representations and appeals are most effective,which
the greatest degree secures the attention and,arousee
the feelings of an auditory; this may be regarded as
genuine oratory. And when we read of our councils,
!acre the - Chiefs and Brsves stalked majestically kith '
rand poured into the ears of their peop:e their thoughts
and views,.and designs. grow ing more fervid and ardent
in their harangues - , until an intensity of excited feeling
was produced, it is right to call this oratory, and of the
highest Stamp. Civilized blood has paid dear for many
such emanations, and terior and alarm have followed
their utterance in times of open 'hostility, with the pre
cision of cause and effect. When speaking of the intel
lectual power of the Indian, and its display, it must be
kept in view that its untutored, uneducated condition is
what we are endeavoring to describe. And yet, unaided
by such strong and important auxiliary, some passages
from their addresses have been pronounced by the most
•
talented and highly educated of our countrymen, as
• equal to any thing spoken or written by Cicero or Demos
thenes. Jefferson said, that the Valedictory of Logan,
based tipbti the cruelty of some of our troops, which
caused 'the butchery of his family, the burniiiof Ins
wigwam, and the destruction of his corn fields, when he
had proved himself to be our friend, excelled in elo
quence and pathos, any thing he ever heard In 'hnman
production. And now, when there are assemblages of
Chiefs to entity or make, important treaties with our
Government, it scarcely ever fails, that smile ideal and
touching eloquence, and some unanswerable logic is
not intnaduced. In philosophy the Indiast-e'n stoic ;
never giving utterance to complaintrder s'nffering,and •
never smiling except in derision. But we'r;:ntust leave
the poor Indian, although we have 'Riardly commenced
saying anti citing what the world wish in regard to this
scattered and shadowed race. They are fast_fiegener
ating in physical and mental power, and in point of nu
merical strength. Civilikation has proved a sad inno
vation upon their pristine condition and happiness. It
is, too, pushing them onward, as the white man wants
or claims more terntniy, until theY.must be Wasted by
injusiice, or place their tilush frail canoes noon the
broad Pacific to seek out a resting place in other and
stranger lands. It is a dark commentasy upon the as
sumed prerOgaiives of civilized beings, that it carries
along, in its conquests of new country, the seeds of so
cial and physical disrupture and death. On this conti
nent it has trampled down a noble race ; and unless a
beneficent. Providence interposes they will soon be, spo
ken of as a people that were. F.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR
The New York Courier speaks of a letter of General
Taylor to the Hon. Jos. XL. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia,
which it has limped for sonic time--past, to 'obtain a
copy of, but has been 'disappointed, "and for reasons
which may be hereafter stated." The general tenor
and subrestoee, howevet, it is permitted to Impart to its
readers.
The letter is dated the 3d of August, 1847, At the .
Headquarters of the Army of Occupation In Mexico.
It commences by slating thaehe (Gen. Taylor) is "a
Whig,. not an ultra Partisan Whig, but a decided
Whig," that no one could have observed the debate in
the Congress . of thelast n session on the attempt to eekt
sure him for, he:capittilation of Monterey, conducted
main Won "party grounds," and,doubt. "the completion
of his" Div) politics." . .
•Thatlhe has held a commission in the army of the
United; States for forty years,—this commission
being ( l one M the last issued iby Mr. Jefferson;
that i the last lictsidential 'election.he advocated
the election of Mr. 'Clay, bettering that be! . and 'his
friends; "assimilated" more to the prniciples of Mr.
Jefferson than their "opponents." •
P when Tin &nd—
then go a-head;
"If, however, the people of the United States shall
spontaneously elect him, he shall feet himsett bound
to serve ; but that he will not . accept of a party nomi
naiad) "Exclusively." , That, If he elm* be elected he
will go into office unPledged to any particular course ;
that he was determined to entry out, the
, inientionof
the (tamers of the conatitntion, of whom t woltreferring
to . 'Washington and Madison). were among the early
Presidents of the country, and' that he is determined
tn'euth 'case to be the President of the "nation"' and
not of a "party."
Cen.. Taylor proceeds then to define his present po
sition--.that be.doen not think himself qualified for the.
. • •
Presidency.; that he wolld wiiiinglynostpone his name
to secure the election of Mr. Clay or any ofthe
distin
~trished men of the same school now presented to the

'A
- good of e:—A laughable incident occur
red at Nantucket a few evenings since, which is
too good to be lost. A couple of young ladies,
whose high spirits are equalled only by their beau
ty; and who love an innocent prank with intimate
friends. hive really seen "the elephant," the modus
operandi of which will not soon •be forgqtten by
.them; , Just at twilight they . called at the Ocean
House to see a gentleman and his wife, and, as
usual, proceeded to their private parlor. Upon
entering, they saw a
. gentleman with his back
to the door, and presuming it was their friend,
they silently approached,and one clapped her hands
over,his eyes, the others seizing his hands.
The gentleman struggled manfully. but taken
by surprise, for some time his efforts to free him
self were fruitless.. At length, after a . severe tus
sel,•his tormentors laughing right merrily the while,
he shook hie captors off, ,and confronted them.
The laughing instantly ceased; and ga - ve place
to solemn looks •and deep blushes. The "Axed
fact" stared them in the face, that instead of their
frtead, they bad been playing their pranks upot, a
total stranger, none other than a judicial digni
tary—His Honor Judgf , Ward. It is•unneces
sary to say that with - a hurried apology, they
beat a sudden and speedy retreat, resolved thence
forth to be sure, they are “right" before they "go
ahead."—j . Nantucket , Mirror:

as every elector comes with a jack knife, he notch

black beans are allowed to the Abolitionists. Af
ter they are counted, the beans are put back and
remain ford the nextelection for Gvernor.. Then,'
as a DertiOcrat or Whig dies, - they take one out,
or one comes of age they put one in. .They have
one good rule there, which might be adopted elk , -
where to adVantager they never allow a man to
•vote until he is married. This is under the sup
position that he hat little discretion until he gets
it from his wife!. By the same, process of reason;
ing, they allow him to vote as soon as he i ll . l4ls a
wife, the fact of his marrying being taken as ev
idence that he has come to the use, if not years, of
discretion. A minor marrying theta is calledttta

E%-.7 Ladies Kissing each other —For our part
we see no particular objection to the custom the
ladies have of kissing each other—except that
we think it is a usurpation of the righti or the
Lords of creation. About "street kissingt' we.
have not made up our minds however, although
the , Editor of the New• England Aurora has.
Hear him ; "Pretty women kiss one • another on
coming into a room, because it is a graceful cue.
tom; they do the same on going away because
they are delighted to lose sight of each other. It
may be better for them to kiss each other "in
doors," but to see a group of ladies stop in the
in "broad daylight," anttintlict upon each
other the hypocritical kiss appears to' us to be
disgasting and superlatively silly. Such occ9r
' rences frequently. transpire within our observation.
It looks like cannibals essaying to • gormandize
each other, as it is nearly as much fraught with
'goys"' as are many of those eating 'ceremonies.
A kiss is glorious in its place. The sacred code
lays: .-Salute one another with holy afTction"
-4p believe those are the words—but dosn't say,
'engorge' each other," nor .'leave the sting of
nalice upon the face of her whom you salute."
