The following eloquent address to the peo- nle of the United States (to which we have cordially subscribed our name, without shar- nc inc honor of It's composition,) supersedes e tbe necessity of any elaborate appeal from our own pen. We go for the object it pro- noses. heart and hand. It is a due respect t to inc memory of one of the first men, not only of his country, but of his age-a pat riof. whose services have shed a never-dyinp iustre upon our military fame and upon our civil nstitutions-whose death has covered whole nation with mourning, and drawn from the lips of almost countless orators the warm eulogium which is due to his services and his merits. It is well to do justice to such men, not only for their own sakes, but for the benefit of posterity, and to cherish lbe flame of generous emulation in the hearts of men. Washington's statue is about to be erected by Congress. The gratitude and the honor of the nation demand it. Then will i be said that Congress have redeemed the recorded pledges of their illustrious prede cessors, and paid due respect to the man who was first ill war, first in peace, and first ii

 the hearts of his countrymen." The statue of Jefferson should also be erected, to do honor to the author of the Declaration of American independence, and one of the first statesmen of the age. The appeal is now made to the people, in behalf of another of

 their ilustrious bencfactors, whilst the heart still throbs with gratitude and reverence over

 inc tomb in which his remains have been so recently deposiled. l. is impossible that

 tshould not succeed, if the proper exertons are made to receive the contributions of a nton's feelings. The committee of this city are determined to do their duty; aud the following address is the first offering which they lay upon his shrine. They have framed wise instructions for the agents whom they are about to appoint. Let those agents CO., l op.faie with is friends everywhere, and the work will be done.
