Gen. Washington's Statue, on the Capitol Square, is turned to the South. Those who pretend to administer the very large legacy left by him to the American people, assert that they are carrying out his policy. His policy was national, and looked to the final greatness of his whole country. Does the subjugation of the best half of that country point in the direction of its final greatness?--The answer is easy. Were Gen. Washington alive to-day, he would be just where his honored descendants are — fighting the second time for an independence which he hoped had been finally secured. That's so.
