The good peo- = of Christ's Church, Navy Yard, in the year “12 took the ground in hand, and it was there- after called -+The Washington Parish Burial Ground."’ They adopted certain regulations for the purpose of protecting the place, and enclosed it with a brick wall.

Situated on the sunny side of a rid which skirts the western shores of the Anacostia, it slopes gracefully eastward till its verdant edyes meet and embrace the waters of that beautiful stream, in whose mirror-like depths itscypresses and funeral monuments are sadly repeated. The remains of some of the most istinguished men in our country’s history lie in their long sleep within the Cong ional burial ground. and mon- uments in memory of those whose voices were Went to be heard at the forum and in the hot de- bate of Congressional legislation, arise on every side. pointing out to man the impotence of his boasted greatness and wisdom, and ‘how like a leaf we fade. Since the Fedesal Gevernment was removed to the District there have died during its sessions some one hurdred and thirty members of Congress. In former times the old Rock Creek grounds were used by Congress when occasion required. What number of Congressional inter- ments were made the: not known. Among the monuments in the Congressional | see one of the most prominent is the exquisite- ¥ modeled marble tomb, surmounted by an octa- goenal column, indicating where rest the remains of the eloquent Wim.

Push-ma-ta-ha was a warrior of great dis- tinction ; he was wise in council, eloquent in an extrao:dinary degree, and on all occasions and under all civeumstances the white man’s friend.”’ Onthe reverse side the last words of the great chieftain are cut in the granite: * When T am dead, let the big guns be tired over me.’’ The xteat chief was the ee of a delegation from his nation te the General Government, in the year 1224 Close beside this stands a monument erected by order of Frederick William. of Prussia. to the men of Frederick Greuhm, Prussian Minister to the Cnited States in the year 1-23. Under the spreading shade in a quiet corner of the ground stands a quaint aud ghostly statue of gfanite. on which is inse-ibed the death of Margaret Potts, September 2 with these lines : ++ Here lies a rose, a budding rose, Blasted before its bloom ; Whose innocence did sweets disclose Beyond that flowers perfume.

The convention then adjourned till 3 o'clock -m. . Afternoon Session —The President called the Council to order at 3 0’clock. The committee on credentials reported the list of delegates as far ax completed Hon. Erastus Brooks then addressed the con- vention, according to the ar of the committee, at considerable length. He reviewed the mission of the American party. New York he said, had given 120,000 votes for Fillmore, an Americans are stronger to-day than in November last, for tens of thousands of Republicans are re- Magen the error into which they were led under the excitement of the Presidential canvass, and are now ready to return to an allegiance to the American principles. Hon. Anthony Kennedy, of Maryland, next addressed the convention. ‘The Maryland dele- gation had come here with a firm determination to discard all sectional feelin tod Prejudice to set their faces against anythin alculated to distract or divide the people of the different States; and to give in Maryland’s allegiance anew to true Americanism. To these principles the people of Maryland have been “a 3 to risk their lives and fortunes. and are ready to do so again She will be as ready to act in future. Standing between the extreme North and South, she will call upon all true Americans te know no Pprinet- ple but one—that of Union. He called upon the party not to change its name or principles, but to light on, fight ever, until the triumph of Ameri- can principles was secured. Mr. R. W. Thorgpsoa, of Indiana, attacked the Democratic party. He said that patty is now forming capital cut of the Black Republicans of the Northern States. The latter party wasdeclar- ing that the President and Congress of the United States had a right to disregard the decisions of the highest courts. and interpret the Constitution as they understand nd not as interpreted by the courts. He declared that while the epubl i- cans sought to place the Americans on a level with the negroes, the Democrats seek to place thenvon a level with pauper laborers of foreign countries. He depreca: introduction into any national platform the slightest allusion to slavery. It was as impossible, he believed, to as anything but evil, as it was to make South Carolina believe it morally wrong to hold negroes in servitude Let every State enjoy its own opinion. In regard to all such abstract questions, it is better that ne- groes should be blotted from the land than that the Union should be severed on account of a dix- pute about the value of a slave! Hon. Erastus Brooks moved the appointment of acommittee of thirteen to report a series of resu- lutions, and an address for the consideration of the cinvention. Agreed to.

Crittenden, of Keatucky; and Anthony Kennedy, of Maryland. Mr. Schley, of Md., moved that all resolutions of a political character, which may be presented, be referred to the above committee. After a debate by Messrs. Buckingham, of New York; E. T. Wood, of Brooklyn; and General O Jones, of Syracuse, who were all op; to res- elutions, the motion wes indefinitely postponed Mr. Ware, of Ohio. moved that a committee of thirteen be instructed to mature apd report a gen- eral plan for the reorganization of the American party throughout the Union.
