the following incident. The example of the

Lmértc&ní , , .
I was present when General Washington gavenls
ast vote. Il was in spring.'of Í799, in the town of
tlexandria. He died (on the 14th of December fol-
jwing. The Court House of Faicfax was immediate-
over the mat ket house, land immediately frorit-
j Gidsby's tavern. The entrance to it was by a
jl^t or straight crazy steps, ori tbe outside. The
Bctifta was progessing—several thousand persons
tithe Court House yard and immediate déighboring
^®títs; áiid I was standing pn Gadsby's steps when
lie father of his country drove up^ Wl immediately
approached live Court .House steps; and when within
' ayard or two of them, I saw eight or. ten good look-
iig men, fcom different directions, certainly Without
tl6 least concert, spi'mg simultaneously, and' place
tlemselves in positions t6 uphold and support the
«eps should they fail- in the General's ascent of
, hem. I was immediately at his back, and in that
psition entered the court house with bin-*-fullowed
ii his wake through a dense crowd to the polls—
bard him vote—returned with him to the outward
cowd—heard him cheered by marethain two thousand
prsonsashe entered his carriage, and saw his de-
prture.
There were five or-six candidates on the bench
siting, and as the General approached them, they
«roie in a body and bowed smilingly, and the salúta-
tnn having been returned very gracefully, the Gen-
ial immediately cast his eyes towards the registiy
tie Polls, when Color.el f)j;ne$le. I think it was,
siid, '-YVelU General, how do you vote?",The
Genera! looked a: the candidates, and said, "Gen-
leraen, I vote for measures—not for men;" and tur-
ning to the recording table, auilildy pronunced
his vote—saW il entered—made|a graceful bow, and
