Washington Monument Association.


In recent Herald there was a report of the pro-
| ceedIDgs OF a meeting of this Association, which
amused me good deal, and astonished me still
more in relation 10 the statements there made re-
spectlng the collections made or rather supposed,
Inferred, or falsely represented TO have been made
by The trustees, &c. OF The old w. M. society.
Now, sir, Of the directors OF the old society,
think the directors OF the new one have either
been grossly imposed upon and deceived by the
misreprese Of ignorant or designing per-
sons, or they are decelvng themselves ny bubblrs,
or lnferences drawn from opinions, surmises. false
statements, &c, as regards the amoup collected
by the directors trustees, and collectors OF the old
association, as we'll the actual amount

my memory serves me right, III Two wards, which
think were the 5 h and 9th but TO what amount
do not know, as II was not paid over TO the tTea-
surer. The only money the treasurer got, was the
proceeds OF two balls, and some individual sub
scripions, part of which were handed over by me.
Now, sir, as the statements OF the new association
reflect very injuriously and unjusty on the conduct
Of some, if not all, Of the managers, trustees, di-
rectors, collectors, &c. OF the old association,
though probably not intended, it appears To me
that the directors Of the old cannot do less than TO
investigate the charges that are made agains, them
by the new.
/ therefore, as a director of the old association,
meeting at convenient time TO investigate this
matter, and find out who they ale, fany. that have
got all this money, and if there are amy dclin-
quents, or any who have appropriated the money
collected TO their own use, let them be exposed, So

and propose that they meet at the Mayors Room
