memorial, in which they solicit a sub
scription throughout the United States,

ing the remains Of Washington's moth

their address,
! "The undersigned inhabitants Of the
town Of i'rcdericksburgh, and State OF
Virginia, being ii committee appointed
for that purpose, to their fellow citizens
throughout the United States respect
fully reprcsont:-
"That Mrs. Mary Washington the
mother Of the ilIustrious George Wash
mhtOn was for many years an Inhabtant
of this town, that she died here, and was
inferred in our immediate vicinity where
her remains now lie; that the field which
contains her humble grave Is used for
agricultural purposes, and that the grave
itsclf Is unhonorcd and almost unknown;
that the present liberal and high minded
proprietor, Notwithstanding the interest
ing associations with which it is connect
ed, and which are oi'nCccssitv communl-
Gated 10 his domain, has at once rcnuum-
ccd the influence of selfish feelings, and
will Zcalously cooperate with us IN pro-
curing a proper and permanent asylum
for those rcycrcd relicts, aware that how
ever pious the care which is now cxcrted
for their protection, the Period must IN
process Of time arrive when the plough
and the harrow will uhlltcratc every re-
manning trace of her who bore, and rear
ed George Washington-the nurse ofhis
infancy and the architect OF his charac-
ter
They would farther represent that the
members OF the PRESBYTERIAN Church of
this place, with the aid Of their fellow
ctizons here, and elsewhere are about
10 erect new house of worship; that
funds adequate to that purpose are al
ready secured, and that the work will
speedily be commenced; that It Is high
" improbable that another church will
be built in this place by any other denom-
lnation for many years vet to come, and
it has been suggested that the present is
the most favorable, and perhaps the only
opportunity that will ever occur, for
erecting IN c0nnoXion with Il house of
worship, neat and permanent memori-
al of the mother Of Washington in the
town where she resided for many years,
and where she closed her valuable and
exemplary life. The very house in which
she lived and died is now owned, aud
occupied by the pastor OF the church to
which we propose to attach her monu-
mcnt. Thlsoblcct cannot be accomplish
ed without your pccunIary assistance: we
therefore respectfully solicit your aid with
entire confidence il the result 1t has
appealed so warmly to our own feelings,
that we are persuaded it must enlist those
of every American. = If the present OPP
poytunity be lost, succeeding ages must
forever dcpIore the mgratitude which
consigned to Oblivion without one re-
dcemng effort, the remains OF her who
gave to her country can hero without
ambition, IA patriot without reproach:"
who was the architect of Il character
which not only sheds unlading lustre on
his own country, but elcvatcs even our
conceptions of tie dignity Of man.
