We doubt much if we Jpw had, siaice the Bevolutkin, any nm» In public life who has identified himself more with the great leading interests of the country. Two qualities mark him: first, his common sense views ond, second, his clear-headed mid farreaching knowledge. There is nothing narrow, nothing partisan, in his thougbta pr his life.

What ever may be his position hereafter, the past for him is secu re. He has done well.

BUNKER HILL BWNUMENTJf^"

Tlie monument stands upon itie summit, where tho smalt redoubt was thrown up by the Americans on the Qight of June 16th 1775. Previous to its erection, the ground was distinguished by a small column in honor of WARREN, who fell upon the spot, erected in 1794 by a lodge of Free Masons—Warren, at tl.e time of his glorious death, being the Grand Master of the Free Masons ot North America. Subscriptions were first osked for tbe present Monument in 1824.— An Association, called 'The Bunker Hill Monument Association,' was formed, membership of which was to be enjoyed by those who subscribed five dollars. An engraved diploma was their certificate, their names were inscribed upon the parchment records deposited within the corner stone. The corner stone was laid June 17tb 1825, but the work was not resumed until March., 1827.

The structure was placed under the superintendence of Mr. James Savage, of Boston, by whom the foundation and fourteen courses of the superstructure were luid, when in August, 1828, the work suspended op account of a deficiency in funds. About $56,000 had been expended. The work was not resumed till the summer 1834 when sixteen additional courses were laid and tho work was again stopped in 1835, about $20,000 having been expended. All business was then greatly depressed, and the project of holding a public Fair was suggested, to which every feintle in the Union who desired it might contribute aid for the completion of the monument.

The Fair was held at Boston in September, 1840, and proceeds, with magnificent donations, put within the hands of the Committee of the Bunker Hill Association a sum sufficient to Complete the great object. Mr. Savage, by a contract with the Building Committee, was engaged in the autumn of 1840. to complete the work for $43,800. lie resumed his labor by laying the first stone May 2d, 1841, and finished it with entire success, by depositing the apex on July 23, 1842. The last stone was riscd at 6 o'clock in the morning of that day, with the discharge of cannon Mr. Edward Cranes, Jr., ofCharlestown, accompaning it in its ascent, and waving the American flag during the process.

There are ninety courses of stone "iri the whole structuie, eighty-four of them are being above the ground, and six of thom botow. The baso is thirty feet square in a rise of two hundred and eight feet,tho point where the formation of the apex begins, there is a diminution of fourteen feet, seven and a half inches. The net rise of the stone from the base to the apex, is two hundred and nineteen feet and ten inches, tho seams of mortar making the whole elevation two hundred and twenty ono feet. No one enn stand and look at the structure, or scun it with a close observation, without being impressed with the wondorfu! mathematical accuracy which distinguishes it. The joints of the stones seem to be chiseled with great exactness and the diminution of the obelisk has been faultlessly executed.—N. 1'. Tribune.

DEATH

OF AN

Tflg

OLD SERVANT—The Wash

ington Capitol, of the 7th inst, says: "General Washington** Colored servant Cary was buried ou Saturday last, from Greenleaf's point, and followed to the grave by a large number of blacks. He was, we understand, at the time of his deaths one hundred and fourteen yeaifs old, and was for a number of years ostler to General Washington, whom he served at the passage of the Delaware and at the battles of Brandywine and Trenton. Old Cary was known and respected by every citizen of this place. He loved the memory of his patriotic master and an an humble mark of respect* on his birth day, and, in fact,every military parade, wore an old ahad-bellied uniform coat and a three cornered hat with a huge cockade, which he said Washington gavo him. On these occasions the boys used to coHeet around him, but his venerable appearance disarmed thom of all thoughts of mischief and he was always allowed the honorable privilege of hobbling in the rear of the military, under wboee pnxocttoo to generally placed himself."

Pnciseivat half past 18, the head of the regular Procession reached the Ground, then clouded hv the cannon-smoke from the Navr Yard. The military halted outside the urwi. formed in double lines, Iscin? inward, to let the Civic procession pan through and into the square ahead.

At a quarter to 1 o'clock, the head of the Civic Procession passed into the ohlong square hetween the Ottieera' stand and the Montiment. the Briaade Band in front, followed bv the Executive Committee in a carriage, escorting the President and suite in a carriage drawn by tour superb have. The President was cheered as he rods into the area. and. alighting, took his place on the stand, where Mr. Webster had been for aome time "solitary and alone.M Messrs Spencer, Porter, Widtltffo and Legare. as they came on the stand, greeted Mr. W. very cordially, and were introduced to the gentlemen in attendance as officers or the I)av. Committees, Ac.

But the deepest manifestation of enthusiasm was reserved for the appearance of the surviving SOLDIERS or TUB REVoi.trrtou, whn arrived in the succeeding carriages, and. aliahting in the centre of the square, tottered with feeble steps lo their olawa on the platform. Thev were one hundred and eight in number, twelve of whom had shared in the perils and glories of the bloody struggle on this very ground sixty eight years atro three of them had fought also at Lexington where the first blood was ahed in the Revolutionary contest, two months before the more determined strife on Blinker Hill. Phineas Johnson, now 97 vears old, was in both these conflicts, and was reputed the oldest man present: but we are assured that Mr. Ma nnrd, (fnther of Hon. John Mavnard, M. C. from this sitate.^ now 99 vears old, and also a sharer in the Bunker Hill struggle was pr»*ent.we know that he reached Boston on the night brfore in good health and spirits, on nurpose to be there^

Earnest profound, reiterated were the bursts ot cheering from the immense concourse as these relics of a eWiousday toiled up to their seata on the staving. Eighteen years aeo. when the corner stone of the Monument was laid by Lafayette in the presence of sixty thousand freemen, a («ir lareer and stronger band of them were present, to rejoicoover the commemoration of their herois struggle half a century before Eighteen vears Wnce. who can hope that one of them will be left to tell the thrilling storv of these three eras in their and their country's eventful history 1

The Freemasons, who bad done much toward the erection of the Monument, (having eiven the ground, on which they had previously erected a small monument to Gen. Warren, their Grand Master, who fell in the battle,) were out in considerable force, and made an imposing appearance. Thev were greatly outnumbered. however, by the Odd fellows, who must have mustered nearly one thousand. The sons of New England from New York, escorted, by our suoerb Light Guards, were warmly cheered as thev arrived in the centre, The Hibernians, in four different societies wearing the Green of their beloved native Isle, werel in great force, and made an admirable appearance.

It was half past one o'clock when the Bunker Hill Monument Association marched in with ihe Military bringing np the rear of tho Procession. The scene now presented from the stand was one of unequalled sublimity and grandeur. Directlv in front was the immense concourse which had formed the Procession, Military, Civic Societies with emblems and badges, and plain citisensso interminglnd as to produce the most piclurewjuft efioct. Thcso about half filled thcjparalliiHogram which had early been cleared, and being walled on either side, was guarded by corns of the Military at the ends, fronting a densed wall of human faces

since an early

hour in the morning. On the square or plateau above, closely surrounding the Monument, were many thousands of citizens—at times thirty to forty thousand. On the stand itself were iho survivors of the Revolution, the President of the United States, and his Cabinet, tho

Governor and Lieut. Governor of Massachusetts, the mighty Orator of the day. the first Governor of Maine, senators Evans of Maine, Choate of MAM*chusetts, Mavor Brimmer of Boston, Robert Tyler, the Officers of tho dav./tc-

To THE isiuTOR OX THE VVA^tSH RXPBBSS. Sir:—My Inat notice ofthefirm,of which you atand at the head, eras principally &*P* ted to the Junior partner* and his adherents. I had! neither time nor apace then todevoto more than a passing notice to you. ^n reply to that ttfticl^ott have pven us a^grand flourish" sufficienr, doubtless, in yo# selfconceited imagination, to exterminate a dozen each fellows as myself.

Well, it matters little *4iat may bo the issue, so (or as I am concerned but there are principles involved in the controversy which I consider of the first tmportancej and those 1 propose to discuss." Before proceeding to do so, however, it may be well to advert to some of the {hcts and feature^ of your last editorial, as well as to your notice of my card in your poper of the 14th, in both of which you deny that you have made a personal attack upon roe, and assert that "there was nothing in your articles thai the most captious or ill-natured could torture into nny thing personally unkind," and you labor to create an impression that the matter objected to was the language you applied to me as descriptive of my profession. This is tt very shallow artifice Mr. Dow ling, and it is strange that one who has monopolized all the "brains

The first matter which seems to require notice is the charge I made against Mr. McGaughcy in my former communication of having deserted the whigs and of voting for Mr. Walpole for president pro tern of the Senate, whereupon you branch off into a few of the incidents in the biography of that individaal. Now it is quite immaterial how good a whig Mr. Walpole was in 1840, or you either— What is he now ?—and whntare you now these are the questions. I asserted that r. Walpole acted in concert with the locofocos and I gave some evidence in proof of that assertion, particularly his appointment of a majority Of his new allies upon ihecommittoe to District the state. It wait known also that the seat of one of the Senators, Mr. Pitcher, would be contested, and what did he in that case 1 He appointed a majority ofdemocrats on the committee of Elections, with Mr. Bright, the present locofoco candidate for Lieut.Gov. ernor at the head, and Mr. West at the tail. He appointed a majority of the chairmen of all the committees from the democratic side of the Senate and 1 care not for his professions, these acts show him liable to all the charges I have made nnd it is in vain that you attempt to white-wash him by telling what ho did or said in 1840, and thus attempt to pass off this •'Bogus" currency upon us for curront coin in 1843.

Connected with this bombastic laudation of a politician of'your own stripe, you enquiro w/iat sacrifices of time% labor and money, I have made in the whig cause" to which you add sundry low demagogical sneers at my practice and profession. Oh what a disinterested self-sacrificing spirit is here I! Yes, you have condescended out of pure love to the dear people to serve them merely for their good, never thinking of yourself. Doubtless, you think it a great sacrifice to do your duty as a voter also, and that you ought to be paid for all these things. Wouldn't it be well to circulate a subscription for old clothes ond have these debts paid off? Truo I have not followed your very disinterested example, I have never been a candidate for any office, but have minded my own business, and never before heard that there was any great crime in doing so. 1 have made no sacrifices—to speak of.

Next comes your

argument

of a "species

"Holy Alliance"

on tbe subject

of cowardice"

of which the

wore guilty in not replying

to Mr. McGaughey when he made hi« speeches at Terre-Haute, during tbe last Term of tbe Circuit Court. You honor me with the appellation of a member of that "alliance" and say that all its active members were present'at his speech on tae first day of the Term, when Mr. McGnughiy, you say, "called upon the citizens of Yigo to say whether they were satisfied with him* adding at the same time that if they were not willing to sustain him, he could not hope for success and would abandon the field" and then you make sundry charges of cowardice dec. Now, of all the animals that walk on their bind foetj I consider a bully

tbe most contemptible.—

Mr. Webster defines a bully to be "a noisy blustering fellow, more distinguished for insolence and empty menace* than for courage," and 1 know of no one who can sustain a better title to that appellation tban yourself.— Your conduct is very much like that of tbe •illy goose that biases at the heels of every paswr-by and imagines t^at her courage is so inviocibiiB as to drive all before her. Tbe language I use is, in my estimation, exceed* iogly objectionable but let any reader refer to that to which it is a» answer, and say whether it could be replied to in any other way. am therefore, ailbougfr regret it, compelled to use it from the nitnifty of the case. I will however state tbat on tfte first day of the Term, I wot attending a Courrio Illinois bat bad I been present, as I was on Wednesday, and had vdonteered an answer to him, I mould have Keen justly chargeable with

OMKU!IB£

convention but I- left bomefor Illinois early "the next morning, nor did I ever fully understand the facts, untill heard the report of the delegation ret&V nor did then understand some of the worst aspects of the case. Such too I presume was the case with most of those who heard him on Monday and- Wednesdav. Of his famous Saturday night'e speech I never heard until the evening of tbe following day. -%.v

I coma now to that part of yoar article* which is n*' tome comeqnence, inasmuch as principles are involved which havs been maintained by the whig party so long as I hava known anv thing of those principles. I charged yon with haviiig atwndoned them white still professing to h« a whig. -Now for the proof. In relation to the Tariff, vou say yon have not ''written a word against it." This eftcose is very much like that of a

soldier,

be found in these parts, shdukl huvo resorted to ft. What connexion, I should like to know, has the charge in your pojMirofihe ?th inst...^.^. -, of "slandering you througka channel where you had no right to be heard" and "of whispering falsehoods into the cars of the unsuspecting" with the proceedings of that public meeting t—or what relevancy to the article signed "Justice" of which you supposed me the author!—That you intended them to apply to me, you dare not deny before this community, where you, and I, and all the circumstances are well known. 3fou have too much regard for the appearance of truth, to make such denial. And still "Ae most ill-natured cannot torture them into anp thing personally unkindr" in your estimation. I am willing however to leave the matter upon the ground where you havo placed it, and admit that your view of the subject "may result from the obtuseness of your mental vision." I have said thus much upon the subject, merely to put the matter right, as to who is responsible for the commencement of this controversy, and will proceed to notice your last editorial. I shall not however notice a lurge portion of the nonsensical fanfaronade with which it abounds for this being your fnvorite mode of argument I acknowledge your superiority in that department, and am content that you shall bear off all its laurels.

who at the close of a battle should h*

charged with having abandoned his party, and ha shonld reply to those with whom he jtrafetttd to act TFii'v. I never frtd a rtigte shot at yo«.n I really never knew nntil now, that a ^ntinel nt hi# post fand siich yon profess to be,) or a soldier on the field of battle. could ao easily excuse himrelf for having done nothing. I did not say you had written any thing against the Tariff I asked yon to point to ihe line or sentence yon hsd written in its favor. But there is one very interesting branch oHhis subject upon which you do not say one won't. It is true that every Tariff may be called a prOMthm Tariff, so far as it goes but the whigs claim the pnnciplo of projection as right: and in furtherance of this they claim that the proceeds of the sales of public lands shall not form a part of the. revenue for the support of the government, hut that»hey shall he distributed among the several SStntes. Now Mr- Dowling, how did you happen to'jump clear of that question, for I put it tb yoti in in mahv words. 11 is certninlv an important one.. Mr. Tylw has himself placed it before the country. Come. Mr. Dowling. let us have vour sentiments *n the subject. -Tell us frapkly--U not this ope of the w,hig measures ,ypu fvitfed the loco fdtas VroiiM run you

I requested yon also to point oat your snnport of National Currency, which yon think an indefinite term. bnt suppose 1 mean National Bank. Precisely so, Mr. Dowling, that isiuat what! mean $ and I regret that while you have pleaded-gniltv to the charge, yon have been ao disingenuous in "defining your position." You have labored to prove, by some very meagre quo* tationa from Gen. Harrison's opinions and others, that the Bank question was not considered, in the canvass of 11401 and what do those quotations prove Certainly nothing more than that a Rank was not the only question. You endeavor to prodnce the impression" that ever since 1838 you have pursued ona uniform and consistent course upon this subject, and, by immediately quoting Gen. Harrison's opinions, expressed in 1883,' against the constitutionally of the Bank of 1816, vou endeavor to convey to year readers the imprmion that vou advocated his election with the belief that he, as President of the United States, would act upon tha principles then avowed. That he entertained those opinions then no one doubts, but that like Madison, Monroe and Crawford, he yielded'those opinions io the voice of the people, as repeatedly expressed through their representative, and the repeated adjudications of the highest Judicial tribunal in the nation, therooan be as little doubt. In bis lotter to Sherrod Willhms, he pats the argument of constitutionality npon the question of '*tte necessity iff the cote, and nnequiitocat manifestations in its favor." How were that necrssitv and those unequivocal manifestations to ha known 1 By the voice of the people's representatives of course they could be made known in no other wav You quote also from a letter of Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, to sustain your opposition to a National Bank. Mr. Dowling, did you suppose thnt so shallow—so vmr shallow anartifkffl would stand you in anv stead for this pur* pose Mr. Ewing's proposition in that letter issimply this. That our political opponents wert endeavoring to make that the only question and to keep out of view the extension of Executive power, of which the whin complained. Did von ever read Mr. (Swing's plan of a National Bnnk which he sent to the Senate, on the 12th June 1S41 Did you ever read Mr. Ewing's letter of resignation as a member of the Cahinot, dated Sept. 25th 18411 1 presume you have, and you pay no very hiffh compliment to the intelligence of your readers when you quote from him to sustain your position in opposition to such an institution.

But I will bring npon the stand a witness who I think will speak in language which you will acknowt.*. edge to be sufficiently clear and explicit as to the view* he entertained whatever others thought upon the subJeet. It came to pass in the yecr 1841, which accordins to the almanac, is some considerable time since 1832 that ona THOMAS Dowtiito

WAS

"Sole Editor" of

a newspaper called the "Wabash Courier." Congrees being then in session Mr. Clay presented to the Senate of the United States a plan of a National Bank, containing a feature, authorising the location of Branches In the Several States without their consent. Mr. Rives objected to this feature and proposed an amendment, doing it awsjr. While the subject was under consideration. the said Editor whereof mention ia above made, in his leading editorisl of July 24th '41 says in relation to the.'branehinrpoumr," "That it exists to tho extent elaimml by Mr. Clav. and his associates, we have not a port ic!» of doubt.

The above Editorial closes with letter from aNew York member of the Harrishurgh Convention, setting forth Mr. Tyler's strenuous and urgent solicitations to ptocore the nomination of Mr. Clay, on the especial ground that his principles on this subject were well known and approved.

Mr.Clsy ton (Whig) and Mr.Cuthbcrt (opposition) were sbsent. The locos expected that mere ahstrsc'.ions would divide the Whigs hut that old peace-maker HIRST CLAY always has a way to unite good men in a good cause. He is the "msn of Ages" to use an expression of one of our eloquent Senatom in Congres."

What "good cause" Mr. Dowling Certainly not a MRational

This bill finally passed the House or Representatives and received the executive Veto. Let ua turn over tha old file of tha Wabash Courier to Aug 28, '41 where this same Editor comments upon that Veto. "Whilst his political friends general!v accord tha almost upright intentions to President Tyler in the exercise of his constitutional scruples, all deeply deplore the consequence* of thow scruples, to tho country, snd that he could not for the sake of the conn try and its Interest, and out of deference to tha opinions of Msdiarm, Monroe. Crawford, and other atgssof the republic, sad to the repeated de»isions of the three depart-' msnts of be government, ss net ion the bill aa it passed, however defective he might have deemed some of its detsils. To those who deem a Bank of the United States, not only eonstimtaut, bat ssssntisl to the peeanisry prosperity of tbe eoantry, it only adds to their aggravation to find (ftratssfos* tkwartod in the adoption of that favorite swm, by tha excessive though hon-

Let's bear yoa guess. 1 wonder if it Isn't that "good earns" ia which Mr. Clay united thoss good men and which, even with \ho "branchingpower" that setae Editor hsd not a particle qf douit was constitutional. Possibly it may have been a National Bank, to which, wben charged with opposition, vou now ^plead guiltv." "Deeply deplorsH what?—"Thvartod" in what 1—Why, in a measans they never hsd in view.
