Tomb of Washington. It is rumoured, that a party consisting of about thirty members of Congress of both Houses, wishing to visit the tomb of Washington, hired the steamboat Enterprise, and proceeded in her to Mount Vernon, on the 14th inst. After the boathad gonA some distance, and before they had reached Mount Vernon, it was stated to them by the Captain, that Judge Washington, the proprietor of the place, had forbid persons from landing from on board of a steamboat, at Mount Vernon The gentlemen thinking that a refusal not be given, appointed a Committee, consisting of three of their body, to wait upon Judge Washington, and to ask the permission of him, of paving their respects to the seat of the deceased Father of their Independence. This was done in the most po'' nnd respectful manner by the committee, who went ashore for the purpose, the other gentlemen remaining on board the steamboat. The permission was refused, and it is said the committee was not treated with common politeness, and the refusal was accompanied by threats of instituting suits, Is it possible that this report is true If so ought it not to be a good reason why Congress ought to re-more the remains of Washington, from a place to which his grateful country men Cannot go to perform that pilgrimage which will be made, as long as gratitude is a virtue or love of country warms the bosom of an American.

For the honour of the name of Washington, we can scarcely believe the report, and yet, it comes from such authority we cannot doubt it. Journal. Fire The dwelling house of Mr. John Palmer, jun. in Charlotte, was consumed by fire on Sunday morning last.

Mr. Palmers loss is said to be considerable, as nothing attached to his house was saved from the flames. Arrival at Albany. The following notice of the passengers of the lliram, at Albany from Poughkeepsie, May 12, from one of the the wonderful Albany papers, shews mtgalory countrymen Ten entire families, from the grandfathers and grand-mothers, bowed down with theweight of years, to children of the tonderest age, comprising upwards of sixty persons, oernpied the cabin. All parts of the deck, the hold, and a long way up the shrouds, were loaded with a medley of all sorts of furniture.

All this together with the assortment of men, women and jhildren, was transferred from the vessel to oneorlwocanal boats and by such and by other means, they were going from their farms in Amenia, Duchess county their home, and the homo of their fathers into a distant land bewnd the, Ohio, or possibly the (heal Lakes. They fined to be cheerful, ami content with the, fortune that itnpnlled them to seek out a new habitation. (several of them at a period of life when for their use earthly habitations could endure lmt they seemed to look forward to the possession of their fancied Elysium, with the greatest salisjjidion spirit of Cvnious advertisement.

Temperance, too, with moderate labour more the result of cirrumstanccs than inclination, not unfrequcntly hands down the negro of the South, through successive masters, from father to son, from son to grandson, who have gone to their tombs, in the enjoyment of richer viands, and whose blood may have received an artificial impetus, from their following in the train of Ba. thus while the negro, who sleeps writh only his plank and blanket, whose only drink is the water of a neighboring spring, and who is confined to his bacon and hommony, exhibits more of health and cheerfulness than his owner.

Carey I. Lea of Philadelphia, for publishing by subscription an American Biography, or Historical Dictionary of eminent Americans, to be prepared by Robert Walsh, Jun. The work will be comprised in 2 vols. 8vo. and from the well known talents of 'Mr.

It is staged in the prospectus, that there is no Biographical Dictionary of American worthies which is comprehensive in the plan and the execution. We think this remark needs some qualification. The American Biographical Dictionary, by president Allen of Bowdoin college, is a work of great merit, and is on the plan proposed by Mr. Walsh, although but half the size oftlie proposed Journal.

ALBAN 1 Ht'RSDA JUNE 1, 1020. Much interesting foreign news will be und in our columns to-day, which is 1 1 of interest that our papers have if we except a little about John Randolph. From present appearances, I may look for much interesting intel-Igence from F.urope, hereafter. FOR THK REPERTORY. A PEEP AT THE VERMONT PATRIOT.

Instead of turning tack to the political jargon If former times, and there glutting our objects lad design, with the old corruption of party Ipirit and personal hatred, as is fully exemplifi-ld in die Vermont Patriot and State Gazette, rt us rather endeavour to support the true prin-: iples of public economy, and rid ourselves of the lisorganizing influence of political jugglers. It not the business, cud certainly not the design If any one, who is a well wisher to the govern-Icent in which he lives, nor even the object of Imaest and intelligent principles, to stir up the lediment of for, nor commotion, and mingle the I'regs of tumult with the puiity of civil quietude. Fa the editor of the Patriot do hat he can, or I ay wdiat he may, the people of Vermont are not lo be caught with a bote, which is as false as it is llciusivo. Internal peace and security, are the rwo primary objects of a free and enlightened government; the attainment of these is the supreme endeavour of all republican institutions; Ihcy are the two polar-stars, which for many Ivears have conducted the growing prosperity of Vermont. And at this period of political union, an honest citizen, pure in his principles, and uni-Iform in his put suit of public good, will not ask in la public journal whether republicans have I struck their colours to federalists? or whether I federalists have confessed their wrongs? It is I enough for us to answ er, (thot ive arc not biased by the pen of faction, nor chilled by the frown of seditious demagogues.

Why this desire to open the devouring (lames of popular division? I believe in the freedom of the press, as the safe-I guard of national liberty; but I do not believe in an propensity to excite sedition; and that man wiio possesses this, as his most prominent trait of character, is not a fiiend to republican, nor even moral institutions. He is a violator of the laws of his country; he excites rebellion and treason; he corrupts a sober-minded and peaceful community, from whom be deserves that indignation and contempt, so justly due him as the price ofhis labour. When we see a people obedient to the laws, and united at home, the rational conclusion is, that their politic al state is prosperous; that the storm of faction and banc of party strife, is dispelled from among them. And what would you think of that stranger, who upon his first introduction into this cradle of repose, should make it bis only endeavour to scatter the seeds of discord I Ask the editor of the Vermont Patiiot, his object and design in calling to recollection the party strife, and political as well as personal animosities, that existed during the late war? Why he should c-numerate those private piques and quarrel s.thosc scenes of calumnyand opprobrium; fight over the battles ofoH politicians, and then corn. lude that principles have rot chang' Is not the object a petty desire to bring himself into notice; to stir up a storm upon which ha can ride as its champion? Rut the atmosphere of Vermont is too pure to conceal such clouds of intestine darkness and pollution.

Never was the time, when the state of public feeling in Vermont, was so distant from the former distinction of who is a republican, or who is a federalist, as at present; and every candid citizen, now looks back upon that 'time only with surprise, being a time when those same distinctions of party, which the gentleman now wishes to excite, neatly sapped the basis of our government; a time of the greatest peril, when our free institutions stood totter ing on their base, when all was ominous of the ruin of that system of liberty, which was reared with the loss of so much kindred blood. Personal animosities and selfish ambition will exist in popular governments. and ereatc more or less excitement; and these tliould he the only difficulties in the wny of a quiet nnd happy march of public policy. These are difficulties which enii-not be avoided so long ns there is a principle of ambition in man; but when the Demons of former quarrel arc buried deep in the rnvrrn of oblivion, none but the roost invective of tlx Furies, would desire to unlock the gates of their confinement. pini.o rmcLicfs jottn juxuOLrn and dis last spnnm.
