DISSERTATION OF THE MONUMENT OF

surprised to see during late visit to the
grave of Mr.. jefferson, that the granite
monument has been mutllated and broken
by visitors; and that the marble slab over
the grave of his wife, has also been brok-
en-. We trust that the good people of the
United States who travel here for the pur-
pose Of seeing the place where the body
of this immortal man is laid, will desist
from thus Decorating his monument. We
consider ii worse than saCu,e-c 10 be
breaking in pieces a monument erected
over the ashes of one of the most llIuStri.
Gus of Statesmen and Patriots. We never
should dare exhibit as a relic, even the
smallest particle of stone which We had been
guilty OF breaking from the monument OF
the Sage OF Monticello. More than l 200
strangers annually visit the grave Of Mr..
jefferson. We hope for the future, that
