Saturday. October 3, 1856.

The people of Boston, Massachusetts have erected to the memory of Franklin, a statue, which was inaugurated with becoming pomp and solcmnity, o the 17th September last. That this was rig and proper for them to do, no one will for a. moment deny. He was a Bostonian. The part he played in life was in rtunt in the highest degree, whether as a po itician or as up ilosopher. In the former capacity he belongs exclusive] to the eople of Boston and America; in the atter, t c whole civilized and scientiﬁc world claim s share in him, and never was ii. statue erected to a man in all respects so worthy of it. To those who may contemplate in the bronze the outward man of that hero, for hero certainly be was 3nd in the best possible sense of the word, will not ﬁnd their feelings of admiration and re- I t checked by the recollection of the piles of end that must have been heaped up, and the and sﬁliction that must have been en- thousands of fathers, wives, widows sud children in order to elevate him to his present position in the rank of fame. On the contrary, his was the honorable situation of the-psscemaker, no part of the pedestal upon Ihich a grateful and admiring posterity have oroctsd his effigy has been cemented by blood. In the earlier periods of the world he would have been rcverenced as a god. We give him the just and well deserved titles of philo- so her and christian. NR select from the Boston paper a descrip- tion f the statue.-— “ It is of bronze, and was cast by the Ames Iannfncturing Company, at Chicoppee, Mass. It is oi ht foot in height, and represents Frank- lin cla in an ordinary dross, his ontsids coat Ining fur, which is traditionally a printer’s material. The expression of the face in the plaster cast which we saw in the artist‘s studio, was noble and digniﬁed. The hronsc statue is now concealed from view, and will be unveiled

a . Thg site selected for the statue is the area in front of the City Hall in School street, between the two rdens. The statue is mounted on a pedestal of which the foundation is nits, surmounted by a lock of “ vsrd-ant qua" marble, on cash of the four sides of which will be placed a bus- rclisflrpprsssnting a prominent scene in Frank- ’I is. The four faces of tbs grnnits foundation bear the following inscriptions :- Dn tbcﬁouth lids fronting Schoolptrvct,

Other honors may grow cheap, other laurols may fade and wither, other eulogiums may be forgotten, the solid bronze before us may rnoulder and crumble. but the man of whom it may be said that he enjoyed the sincere friend- ship, and secured the respect, vent.-ration and affection of IVur}u'nglon, has won a title to tlis world's remembrance which the lapse of ages will only. strengthen and bri htsn.

The ladies who gave their services and countenance on this ocu- sion. and who rherehy—considering the vast, the inestiiinhh importance of the object to be promoted by the Soiros-—havs entitled themselves to the grateful consideration and respect of the whole con- mimit .

llpviin this occasion, the pmminail services of but a limited subs: could be uccep ; but, from the well-hnown philnnthrophy and public spirit of the Ladies of Cliarluttetown and «in vicinity, it actbt doubted that many, besides those who oliicistcd at the inaizursticsl our Model and Normal School, would have been ‘moral an
