But it eh. old be farther imposed upon thr aforesaid board of Trustees to tuake application to tno proper, pereuns or authorities, lor per mission to remove U remains of Washington's mother fiom Fredericksburg to Mount Vernon, to be interred by the side of her illustrious son, that they may be doubly honored and the place doubly hallowed.. To do. this beautiful aad touching act of gratitude and respect, it will at ooce be peroei ve4 w not incom patible with either of the alternative proposed for the choice of the supposed Board ot lrusteea. It will also be perceived that in scheming the constitution and power of the Board of Trus tees, I bava suggested general provisions only, for it is competent nod most proper for n cor poration to pas special laws and make minute regulations. The adoption of th first suggested applica tion of toe purchased property is not without many instances to justify it. Gratitude, vanity and avarice have often induced nations, as well ss individuals, to preserve the homes of their de parted great ones and mends, as " much as pos sible in the stat in which they had left them. Sana Sauci, Twickenham and Mootmoreacy, the abode of Frederick the Great, of Pop and Roueaeaa, are examples. Of th several unr to which Mount Vernon. if acquired, might be pat, that suggested under the 3rd head ia preferred by your correspon dent.

It may, with tha nam pro bability, be said that BO naUonal poyucax party in a republican govarnmaat aa exist ia full health bejond th same: period. In fact, the aama experieoo which teaches tha ana indi cates to us tha other. That experience ia th past history of our country ; and, if necessary. w nay go back to tns xtoman ana ureoiau Ran nMie.. where, if history is not at fault, sjmat- aaeiflBt Democrtcis were ia th habit of overturning and elevating th different interests a they UcJa:mot popular wita taai ever varyinr. Chameleon like thing, the popular will. In one w see first an em pirate, then a republic, or a form of one, and by turns tlio- tatorehipe, consulships, triumvirate, and em ti rates t in tha other, a succession no less hybrid. Aad evsa ia the mora stable govern ments of absolute aad limited monarchies, we aotioa that every few decades the people are refreshed by a aw dynasty. Chang is the order of all things human ; and it is reasonable to sappose that thus it was or dered by tha -Great Ruler, so that reforms and pnrifleationt might ba made in that which, af ter having existed for a long series of years, must necessarily become corrupt aad impure. .to illustrate: we may liken tbe change in pop ular rovernmsts and their political partiee to th periodical ablutions, and consequent robing in fresh apparel, of th healthful and cleanly man ; wbii ia those which do not change by th will th people (i. . absolute governments) there is a reaemblaoos to. th filth-covered in habitant of th underrround dens of our cities. o much oorraptioa. is ngndrd that disc is contracted, i lb political machinery in th on case, in th physical in th other, and th dirty demsen of the cellar is carried forth th victim of a pestilence, aa, ia th ease of tbe nvernment.tb oeople ha vine borne burden apoa burden, are at length led to speak and act, and, in most eases, tna corrupt ana unciesn body of monarchical dssootism is laid low before me peeiuenuai cream oi pvpaiar inuigDHiuu. Chang does, in fact, sometimes produce dis . . . i ... r : j: content, as, for inetanec, the amendment of a Constitution ; and occasionally wa see a dynas ty change for the won ; but the are only instances, selected as snob, for, in general, we find that a change acta as a purge. And as we have seen, by our mstapboncal allusion to toe human bedy, that unless purging is occasional ly resorted to. n total overthrow f the govern meat is almost, if not certainly, inevitable, it becomes us aa enlightened people not to oppose any reform which promises prospective good and snows no tan gi Die evu. Thst ehangs. Is the order of all things with which man has to deal, is shown, if further proof is wanting, in th physical and mental construc tion of msn himself. We opine, however that ai one wishee further evidenoeof this fact. There fore, we will pass oo to the discussion of tbe ef fects of change upon other countries and on our own, endeavoring to see by comparison wbetb r these effects are as disastrous as some say Rome ehansed te dynasty and form of govern ment not less than ten times, and still prosper ed until, on aa extension of the privileges of citisensbip, she waa overrun with Joreigturt and soon afterwards was plundered by tbe Vandals. Suevi. Visiei'tb. Ac. In tbe great division of her dominions tbe Saxona held their own ; then the affairs of the Saxon Heptarchy were smooth and calm until Jotetgturt. wboin tbey had re ceived es friends, wrested tbe throne from thei hands, and Canute, the hauchiy Dane, then reiiued. Soon the Saxons ware restored : and oon again a foreigner ascended tbe throne and, exoept during foreign rule, tbe kingdom and the affairs of the people flourished. And from that to this England has passed, through many political changes, among wbicb we note the accession of James I, the protectorate of Cromwell, Ud th accession of the House of lis cover ; yet, with all these changes, together with tbe destructive v ar of tbe Koeex, Eng land has prospered, and is now in tbe cuTmina tion of her poaer. In support of our theory, who will deny that the three great changes we have mentioned did not act as purges and there by England waa greatly benefitted. We need net go further iuto the history of foreign nations SuSce it to say "from these you may judge them ; and let us took, briefly, at the past his tory of our country. Some my- ear that with every Presidentia election there is a change. W grant it a cbsng of dynssty. But tbe great motors of our coun try, tbe two political parties, remain tbe aame Therefore, it ia not so mueh the corruption of the government, directly, that we have to fear put corruption tnrougb loose motors. And in these, it is, that th change is required rsther than in tbe fundamental part of our government. This change ws hsve had, and, in all probabili ty, will have, as often as tbe old parties, by be coming impure, shall need it that is, when both garments are ao corrupt with uncleanness that neither should be used, they will be thrown aside and new one mad. Ws can trace in onr national history but one great change in tha national political parties, that wbersin federalist and republican were submerged and democrat and whig arose ; then during tha Administration of Mr. Van Buren, there waa, not exactly a change ia th partiee but a chang from on party to th other ; and again, at tha time of Mr. Tyler's desertion from the Whig party, some went over with bim. Some may ask the result of the changes of which we hsve spoken ; it relates not to our subject or train of reasoning, and besides wc bava not space here to discus it. Since that time, except in individual instances and insigni ficant factions; the transmutations intbe politi cal affaire ef our own country have been com paratively unworthy of notice. Tha. character and ss pec t of political move ments for tb .last five vsars evidently tend to some political disruption ; the mountain 'of corruption, fraud and chicanery has been ra pidly culminating, and ws may safely say that now tbe apex has fully appeared, that, now, both tba old parties are without complete or gaaixation, and that out. of tbem new parties ar arisiag or will aria. At least, on of these parties will b.comparativiy pur; and, with a view to establish such a nsw party, a few men of noble motives some time since banded to gether, forming a noclene around which those who love a pare and free government are gath ering from the doubly tainted ranks of Loth Whigs and Democrats, and many have united with them, wko for 'years have not at all en gaged ia politics. This gathering ef noble men, which th sign of the time plainly in dicate ia to be one of tb future partiee of our country, w have atyied Taa Nxw Aptxht. An advent, too, which is to be beneficial in its affects not only oa tb political but also upon the moral -east of our society; on whicb will throw its light, not in aay contracted rays, but upon all whb court its genial influence with cvrrvM and utuelfuh motives. - This new par ty, tbe advent of which has thus far been so promising, was founded principally to correct that greatest of all abusee tbe corruption of the elective franchise. With this as its start ing point, wbea a full and unanimous organ i aatioa shall have been achieved, we presume tha correction of other abuses and th further ance of other measures than the counteraction of foreign influence will be engrafted on the platform ( of the only true national American party. The American party ie now upon a firm ba ne. Tba ehange in political affairs baa come tb cocoon baa passed into th living being, and now it mast weather the rough storm of life,.

But aa it ia aa order pf nature that nothing will thrive veil without opposition, aad ia tbe course of man's life, w se that, whn engaged in a good cause, opposition only serves to nerv him to greater efforts, so th new party, fresh, vigorous and energetic, it members oon scious t the right, meeU all opposition with a silent, resistless, onward, prsssur. silently, surely and well its work is done, reminding on of a well-aimed ball from a concealed air-gun. Wa have seen that it is an absolute necessity in political society, that periodic changes should occur : First, because men, at least those of our republic crave variety : seoond. there is needefl, st certain times, some purification in an sys . . - . - . . . tems or political association, we nave also seen, in brief, that past history shows in every country thee periodical changes, and that they were oftentimes benefitted thereby. And we have aaaerted that there is now about to happen one of these changes. that a party with all the requisites to carry forward .tbe reformation ie at hand. Now, to these assertions, we stand committed, and we can prove them ; and, unless some valiant opponent demolish us before we again take our pen in band, we shall, ere long, discuss some of tbe attacks already made upon the new party. v. A as "V aswas a.a van mnn a-av i There is a paper called tha Oriental, or7 Tuno-Ngai Sau Luk, poblised weekly in Sao Francisco, of which a part is in English aad part in tb Chines character. From several copies of it that lie before us we gather some fact of interest, and which conflict with tbe usually-reported statements in regard to the Chinese in California, Tbe Tung-Ngai, Ae., corrects the sentiments we had entertained as to th number of the childreu of tbe Flowery Land, that have immigrated to California. In stead of the large numbers set down by the Stat Senate Committee and by Governor Big ler, it does not allow that the present Cbineee population exceeds 40,000. Almost all - that have come all, except a few from Shanghai were from the' province of Canton hence they speak the same dialect, nurse old family quarrels, and maintain much closer intimacy with each other than might be expected. It is one of the original customs of the Chinese, when visiting a strange province, to establish for common quarters a sort of club bouse, supported by voluntary contribu tion, where tbey lodge and eat. This club, or ui i-wu is an institution that they have brought with tbem to America. There are five such flourishing in San Francisco. Take a descrip tion of one of tbem, whioh will answer for all. It was furnished by on of their officers: "Their object is to improvs the practice cf their members, and to instruct them in princi pies of benevolence. They are somewhat like American cburcbeel The buildings furnish beds, fuel, and water to guests who remain for but a short period ; also a lodging place and medicines for the infirm, aged or sick. Means are bestowed upon euch to enable them to re turn to China. There are three agents employed by the Company ; also a servant who sweepe the house The agents of the company are elected. At the election all the districts must have a voice. It no members from any ont are present, they must be heard from. The agents most be men of tried honesty ; and are required to furnish security .before they enter upon their office. Their election is for the term of six months; st tbe expiration of which they most give no tice, and call a new election. But if tbey ba fouod faithful to their duties, they are eligible to re-election. Our company has never employed men to work in the mines' for their own profit, nor have tbey ever purchased any slaves or used thtm here. Except tbe buildings used by the company, we have no other property. This has been pur chased by the members, who have subscribed, of their free will, some twenty, some fifteen, some ten dollars. A portion has been paid in ; same will be paid when they are ready to return home. This is a perfectly voluntary matter; there has been -no coercion used; nor is any money required from tbe disabled, the sick, tbe aged, or from those making a second voysge to this country. ; The objects to which the subscriptions to the Company have been devoted are as follows: 1. Tbe purchase of ground and erection of the buildings used by us ; 2. Tbe salaries of agents and servants ; 3. For fuel, water, candles and oil ; 4. To assist tbe sick to return ; 5. For tbe bestowment of medicines ; 6. For coffins and funeral expenses for the poor ; 7. For tbe repairs of tombs ; 8. Expensee of lawsuits ; 9. ' Taxes upon our frame boose at Sacramento: ! 10. Drayage and other outlay, for passengers j landing or departing by ships. The unpaid j subscriptions amount to $32,000 ; ths namee of others who hare not yet stated tbe amount thy intend giving will be good for perhaps $6,700 ! more." It has often been said tbat tbe members of J":y.V,7Z.iKL7. -the., companies are slave. ; but this they posi-' p"',AS,2!?f eB ?f lively deny.

Before oa lies a reply to His Excellency, prepared by the Chinese merchants, and bailing from tha "Exchange." To the Governor's remark that they do not bring their families, they reply thus natively: "It is stated that "too large a nomber of tbe men of the Flowery Kingdom have emigrated to this coon try, and tbat they have come alone, without theirfamilie. We may state among tb reasons for this that tb wive and families ot the better families of China have generally om pressed feet ; they live in tbe utmost priva cy; they are unused to winds nnd waves; and it is exceedingly difficult to bring fsmilies upon distant journeys over great oceans. Yet a few have come nor are they all. And further, there have been several injunctions warning the peo ple of the Flowery Land not to come bere: which have fottered doubts ; nor hve our hearts found peace lregard to bringing families. Suppose yoo f "j " e w"' rcan-miu wuij iooa wow worx in ' the mines. V e would not forbid merchants," it is replied, that the merchandise imported bv Chinese merchants chiefly depends upon Chi nese consumption. . If there be no Chine miner allowed, what business can we have to do f The occupations are mutually dependent, like tooth and lip ; neither can spare the other,,' They hope they are not all bad men : "Confucius" says: "Though a city had but ten houses, there must be some in it honest and true."

' The meeting of the stockholders adjourned yesterday at 1 o'clock, and met again at 2. The proxy of the State waa held by lion. Abra ham Rencber. The main busioess appears to be tbe consideration of the recent act of the Legislature passed for the relief of tbe compa ny. The State ie to endorse tha bonds of tbe company to the amount of three hundred thous and dollars, and th company is to execute a mortgage of its property to cover this amount.

For tbe exe cution of the mortgage, as well as the creation of tbe preferred Stock, the assent of the stock holders is necessary. After Mr. Baughton, on behalf, we presome, of the Board of Directors, bad read Mr. Douglas' Report and given other explanations, Mr. Rencber called the attention of the Stockholdt. s to the fact that this meeting could perform no act whicb could bind either the company or the State, th notice reqaired by tbe charter not baring been given, aa well as on account of tbe informalities.

Adam never played marble. De never played ' hookey He never drove a, tandem of bey with a string. He never skated on a pond, or played ' ball,' or rodje down bill oo n hand-sled. And Eve she never made a playhouse; eh never tok tea wUh another little girl, from the tea-table set ouf with tea things. She never rolled a hoop, or jumped the rope, or pieced a baby-quilt, or dressed a doll. .They never played 'blind man's buff, or 'pussy wants a corner,' or 'bur ly burly, or aay of the games with whioh child hood disports itself." Adam and Eve are not -the only individuals of tbe bumaa race; who have known no child hood.
