WASHINGTON'S NOMINATION.
At no period of the Revolution did the
of Omnipotence appear more apparent
m behalf of the Thirteen colonics than in
the entire unanimity with which Washing-
ton received bis appointment of Commander-in-Chief
of iicr anii'cs. P.ciious to

interests; ibr as they were Genera's of equal
grade it seemed a nicely balanced ques-
tion as to which shoald receive iheappoiul-
aaent each section naturally feeling jea-
as of its rights felt anxious for the honor.
Then it was that John Adams the maricr
spirit of the limes stepped forth; he alone
of the three m'llioos of inhabitants had fix-
ed his eye as if directed by unerWng wis-
Vsm upon another and never unl-l the uto-
aaeat for action arrived had he communi-
cated his thoughts to human beinr. On
the 14ih day of Juue 17J0. he invited his
ceacia. Samuel Adams to a walk. Ea riv
al the morning they walked up Sixth street
to what is now known as Franklin Square

then for the first time he gave language

re-establishment oi the constitution of 1824.

executive power and the anniversary of the
giopouf cry oi- Delores.
Mv salis&clion is extreme lo observe-thc"
enthusiasm with which preparations are-
made to celebrate Ine two great blessings
which have fallen upon Shis nation iter in-
dependence and her libertv and Tarn ocn-
ctrated with the deepest gratitude to fiud
that my arrival si the capital will be made
io contribute lo the solemnities of so great
so occasion fn furtherance of this object
i shall make my entree in that city to-
morrow at mid-uay and desire in contribu-
ting mv share to the national jubilee to ob
serve such a course as may best accord wiih
my duties lo my country beloved of my
uears--anu with the respect djc to the
sovereign will of the people.
I have been called by the voice of my
feiiow-cilizcns to exercise the office of com
mjoder-in-vhief of the Army of the Repub-
lic. I was iar from my native iand when
In.el'igcnce of this renewed confidence and
of ttiese now Oisfeaiions imoocrd uoou me
uv my country was brought lo me and J
saw thai the imminent dangers which sur-
rounded her on at! sides formed the ch'cf
motive for calling me to the head of the
Army. I now sec a terrible contest with
a perfidious and daring enemy impending
over her in which the Mexican Republic
must reconquer the insignia of her s'v
and a brlunate issue if victorious or dis
appear from the lace of ihe eatth if so un-
fortunate as to be defeated. .1 also see a
treacherous taction raising its head from
Iter bosom which in calling up a form of
suming the supreme Magistracy when my
duty calls me to the field to fight against
the enemies of the Republic. I should dis-
grace myself if when called to the point
of danger I should spring to that of power'
Neither my loyalty nor my honor requires
the abandonment of interests so dear to
me. The single motive of my heart is to
offer my compatriots the sacrifice of that
blood wliich yet runs in my veins. I wish
them lo know that I consecrate myself en-
tirely to their service as a soldier ought lo
do and am only desirous further to be per-
mitted to point out the course bv which
Mexico may attain the rank to which her
destinies cali her.
In marchiir mjainsl the enemv. and de
clining io accept power I give a proof of
the sinccrilv o. mv sciimcnts; leuvinsf the
nation her own mistress at liberty to dis-
pose f herself as she sees fit. The elec-
tions for members of a Congress lo form
the constitution which the people wish to
adopt are proceeding. That Congress will
now soon com cue. and while I shall be en-
gaged in tlic conflict in armed defence of
independence the nation will place such
safeguards a room: her liberties as may best
suit hors-cif.
ii J should permit myscu tor a sing c mo-
ment to take the reiusof Govcrnmiit the
sincerity of my promises would he rendered
qucst'onab'c. and uo confidence cou'u be
) lacco iu them.
1 am reso'vcii that thej' thai' nol he fal-
sified for in ihei.- redemption I behold the
general good as well as my honor as a
Mexican am! a soldier. I cannot abandon
this position. The existing government
has pursued a course with which the na-
tion has shown itself content and I iiac
no desire to subvert it by taking its place.
I feel abundant pleasure in remaining
where 1 am and flatter myself that the
nation wii! applaud mv choice. 1 shall
joyfully accept such inr-Us as she shall con
tinue to impose upon me and w uiic .she i.s
engaged in promoting the objects of c!v fi
xation I will brave every danger in sup-
porting its benefits even at tli-j cosl of my
existence.
Will your Evcllcncy have the goodness
lo tender to the Supreme Got crument my
sincere thanks for their kindness? 1 wiH
personally repeal them to-morrow for wliich
purpose J propose to call at the palace. 1
shall embrace mv friends and hastily pres
sing them to my heart bid iiicm a tender
farewell and set out for lite scene of wjr
to lend my aid to serve my country or to
perish amongst its ruins.
I beg to repeat to 3'our Excellency assu-
rances of mv continued and special esteem.

A CATECHISING ON ICEEPING THE
SABBATH.
Some of Rev. Mr. Hervey's parishioners
having laid in bed en a Sunday morning
longer than he approved and others having
been busy in foddering their cattle when
he wes coming to church and several hav-
ing frequented the ale-house he thus cate
chised one of ihe children before the con
gregation. 'Repeat mc the fourth command-
ment.' 'Now little man do you under-
stand the meaning of this commandment V
Ycs sir.' 'Then if you do you will be
?b!c to answer mc these questions: Do
those keep holy the Sabbath-day who lie
in bed till eight or nine o'clock in the mor
ning instead of rising to pray and read the
Bible?' 'No sir.' 'Do those keep the Sab-
bath who fodder their cattle when other
people are going lo church?' No sir.'
Docs God Almighty bless such people as go
to ale-houses and don't mind the instruc
tion of i heir minister?' No sir. 'Don't
those who love God read the Bible to their
families particularly on Sunday evenings
and have prayers every morning and night
in their houses f 'Yes sir.' A great va
riety of such pertinent and familiar ques
tions he would frequently ask in the most
engaging manner on every part ot the Cat
ech8m as he thought most conductive to
the improvement and edification of his hear
ers.
TnE Pbaxer Meeting. A Fact. In
a town in Connectict'it had long been the
custom of the church to hold a weekly pray-
er meeting; but as the church grow cold
the attendance become less and less until
a propssition was made to abandon it alto-
gether. To this a pious old lady would by
no means agree. She spoke to one and an-
other of the brethren on the subject but in
vain. "We have worn them out" said they
"and nobody will attend." Not satisfied
the old lady determined to go though no one
else went. Accordingly on the next Wed-
nesday evening she was seen at the usual
hour approaching the school-house. She
prayed sung and prayed. On the way
home she stopped at a neighbor's to rest.
"Where have you been?" said the neighbor.
"To the prayer meeting !" "To the prayer
ineetincr? I thought it was mvon nn who
was there!" "Oh! God was there and I
vsas lucre; and it tea a good meeting' and
there is to be another next Wednesday eve-
ning." The story got abroad' Christians
were awakened; and to her surprise she
