^ALEXANDRIA:
MORNING, DECEMB»R23, 1834.
'iVsTnewspaper mail, North of Philadel
phia, was received yesterday._
McDuffie’s inaugural address is inserted
morning’s Gazette. Perfectly convinced
rthe correctness of many of the unwelcome
°‘Z which he presents, we are yet far from ap
v n ' the general harsh and unamiable tone
nfthe address. __
The Giobe slyly hints to the Jacobins of the
v not to show the cloven foot to soon, or
l°e.r Eame may be defeated. The Globe tells
hem by and by, they can commence their in
ads upon the State Governments. Friends of
State" rights be watchful!_
fairlaiVs to Conohess.—me articles which
ve appeared in this paper, relative to the elec
. 0f chaplains, have attracted much attention
,lOI! . places. The Richmond Compiler co
ineTthe piece signed “Cephas”—from the pen
7! very worthy member of Congress—and ac
companies it with the following remarks
»\Ve have ever been firmly persuaded that
anointments were not only useless, but
? werious-that they were calculated to bring
SSon into contempt, to corrupt the purity of
^ministers, and to waste the time and money
the two Houses. We cannot perceive the
01 rietv of appointing a salaried officer to say
ravers for a set of men, who. in nine cases out
PJ,;n nevt*r say them for themselves, and never
to them when recited by others. The pol
halls of a corrupt Legislature are not fit
t mnles for the worship of God; nor are the paid
le ‘avers and mechanical daily addresses ol
Electioneering parsons, the proper language to
Ernress the feelings of national gratitude and
reverence to the giver or all good. Prayer is
the language of the heart, of deep feeling and
intense devotion, and the insulting mockery of
this wretched ceremonial, is as far removed
tan tree piety as darkness from light. The
ruths of religion, though they fell from the hal
owed lips of inspired men, would hardly arrest
pie attention of those, whom the absorbing cares
and excitement of politics, and the lust of power
ami eain render so unfit an audience for such
. *rvice.’ If Ibis be true, it will be easy to con
ceive the indifference with which the purchased
ra-ersofan official, and perhaps a partisan
minister, will be received by the crowds who, on
the door and in the galleries, await the com
mencement of the business ol the day.”
We ourselves, should be sorry to see the office
ofChapUin abolished; but the article above, may
tend to show how easily the public mind, by a
repetition of such conduct as is said to have
marked the recent canvass for Chaplains, might
be led in that direction._

IN SENATE—Dixcmber 22.
After the presentation of memorials, &c., and
some remarks from Bention in relation to Gales
1 SeatonV Register ol Debates, the Senate
took up the bill concerning French Spoliations
prior to 1800, and Mr. Shepley, of Me. address
ed the Senate at length in favor of the hill.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
A debate of some interest arose on the bill
concerning extra compensation to Lund Re
ceivers, in which the whole Land system was
incidentally brought into review by Messrs J.
Q. Adams, Clay, Mardis and others. The House
then, on motion of Mr. Watmough, went into
Committee of the Whole, Mr. Briggs in the
Chair, and took up the bill increasing the com
pensation of Naval Officers, upon which the
rest of the day was consumed.
From the Washington Cor respondent of the /Jul
limore Gazette.
‘ The grounds surround mg die Capitol present,
even at this unfavorable season, a most beauti
ful ami promising appearance: the square im
mediately east of it is undergoing a thorough
and most judicious alteration: the south section
has been ornamented by the formation of ovals
at suitable distances, within which are other
ovals and circles described with the mo-t ge
ometrical accuracy: the north section is assuming
a similar improvement: the fir>t has been, and
the latter will as the weather permits, be planted
with an extensive assortment of the most vigor
ous, rate and beautiful trees and shrubs, botli
foreign and exotic, displaying such a collection
as for value and variety has never been seen
m the United States, rich as we are in our forest
nurselings. The walks have been recently gra
velled and directed through the grounds with a
very pleasing effect: here adorned by acute an
gles beautifully delicate—and her sweeping off
in bold curves judiciously suited to the extent of
die grounds, and in admirable keeping with the
entire. In front or the Capitol, and s retching
| around the base of the gentie declivity at either
side of the >jrand entrance, a number of healthy
trees have been planted, and the walks newly
gravelled: they lorm an excellent promenade;
but that of tbe square just alluded to, is, or rather
•ill be, in the summer season, one of the finest
inexistence, and must prove to our citizens and
voters a splendid and healthy resort.
Bef>?e I leave the improvements around the
' apitol, I must, in justice to Major Noland,
th* efficient Commissioner of public grounds,
rwr to the beautiful jet d eau recently erected
P fQpnt of that building. It has been substi
lor those which once stood there, and
which were equally inconvenient and disagree
"i*’ in a portion of the place occupied by
evergreens have been planted in a wHl
c°n,trvcted earth surface, and for this the Ma
jor deserves the thanks of all, but espec ally
Mlie Ladies, to whom the existence ot those
Joaots was particularly offensive. The basin is
opposed of the purest Varian marble; (allow
* word) its form is chaste and classic, and it
ont;nuai|y overflows with the chrystal treasure
. a distant spring, whence it receives from 20
’o gallons per minute: it is one of the most
j aut*tul specimens of sculptural mechanism
'iveever seen;smooth, pure and almost trans
wjtnt; and highly creditable to Messrs. Halls
\,v ^ and Sullivan, who executed it under Maj.
ina • direction. If I have enquired after
^ Polished the names of those artists, it is
luh * ®ecuus€ talent employed in public embel
j; should be thus applauded, an incen
emulation.

Mr.Snowden:—ft wish you to publish the follow

garded. As this is entirely a public matter, and
as such only it is brought into notice, it is pro

other steps that may be taken. A Citizen.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Re
presentatives of the United States of America, in
, Congress assembled, That, hereafter, it shall be
incumbent upon the District and Territorial
Judges of the United States to reside within the
districts and territories, respectively, for which
I they are appointed; and that it shall not be law
ful for anv Judge, appointed under the authori
ty of the United States, to exercise the profes
sion or employment of counsel or attorney, or
! to be engaged in the practice of the law. And
any person offending against the injunction or
prohibition of this act, shall be deemed guilty of,
a high misdemeanor.
Approved, Dec. 18th, 1812.

Mr. Snowden:—By this morning's paper, I
perceive that a meeting will be held on Tuesday
evening, 23d instant, for the purpose of re-j
viving the Fire Company formerly attached to
the “ Old Street Star Fire,” commonly known
by the name of the “ King Street Star Fire.”—
It is well known that this is the only engine west
of Washington-street. I hope every man living ;
in the upper part of the town will come to the
meeting to-night; and our young men should
shew their enterprise by taking an interest in
the formation of the company.

No. 4.866 drew the elegant Angelo Cottage,
valued at 82.650, and the ticket is owned by
Lieut. C. Ring old of the Navy.- Ball. Bui.
Am Unnatuhal Child.—On the afternoon of
Wednesday last an application was made to
one of the Police Magistrates of New York, in a
case which for the Imnor of human nature, is of
rare occurrence. The particulars are given at
I length in the Courier and Enquirer. It was a
suit instituted by the Commissioners of the
Abus House to compel G. J. Van Wugemen
to contribute to the support of his aged parents.
From the testimony, it appeared that some
time since a judgment was obtained against the
father, who was in possession oflanded property
worth between six and seven thousand dollars,
f.»r the sum of two hundred dollars. Under this
judgment the property was sold and purchased
by Ihe son, subject to the equity of redemp
tion. The confiding parents, happy that their
child had it in his power to relieve their embar
rassments, suffered the time precribed by law
to elapse, without using the necessary means to
free the property from the judgment under
which it had been sold.
Scarcely had the period arrived,whet t eson
applied to the Solicitor w ho issued the judgment,
for a writ of possession, but that gentleman,
struck with the enormity of the request under the
circumstances of the case refused to meddle in
the business, whereupon Van Wagenen made
application to another attorney,who obtained the
writ and served it. The first measure which \ an
Wagenen, resorted to after he was in full pos
session of the property, was to thrust both his
parents out of the house, to starve or live as best
tliev might, refusing them even a single room
for their residence. Before being called upon
for his defence by the magistrates, the defend
ant plead that he was unable to contribute to
the maintenance of bis parents, but when the
Bible was tendered for him to swear to the'fact,
lie declined doing so. not we suppose, because
| he respected its mandates, but from fbe tear
J of coming under the punishment which the law
awards for swearing to that which is not true.
I The Court decreed that Van W agenen should pay
a weekly allowance of$l$ lor the support of the
father, and in the course of another hearing will
determine the sum he must allow’ his mo'lier.
