II is proposed to build the monuments to Wash
ington and Jackson at the seat of government, for
the reason that this city is the city of the Union,
ceded to it by the States, the point which con-
centrates the representatives of the States and the
American people, and of foreign governments,
and is calculated, by associating with it the forms
OF illustrous PATRIOTS, to add strength and perma-
nency to the Union ITSELF
/ To fulfil the duty intrusted to them by the ci-
zens of Washington, the committee will appeal,
through authorized agents in every section OF the
country, to each patriotic and libcral-minded cti-
zen of the Union. q t7a
T Subscriptions may be made of any amount and
it is hoped that an adequate sum may be obtained
1t no subscription exceeded one hundred dollars;
but as there may be some mistake in our rculcula-
ton, It is also to be hoped that no man of large
means, and of a liberal spirit, will consider him
self limited in the amount of his contribution by
this suggestion. The smallest contribution will
be received, even the widows mite;" for the
country will feel more pride in the multitude of
hearts engaged in this work, than the amount of
money. AS an acknowledgement to subscribers,
and as check on all concerned in the collection
of subscriptions, a monthly publication will be
made OF the names, residence, and occupation of
subscribers, and Of the amount subscribed, and
the orgnaIlists transferred in stereotype or nscrib
ted on some permanent material will be perpetua-
ted in connexion with the mon ument.
II is the intention of The committee to invest in
some secure funds the sums received in the pro-
gress OF the subscription; and so much of the ac-
cruing interest on which, as may be necessary,
will be dedicated to procure the execution of fine
engravings of the statue for the subscribers-none
of which engravings shall oe disposed of in any
other way.
No compensation will be received by any of
the committeeman even by the treasurer or Sec
retary--fot their services. Agents authorized to
obtain subscriptions and make collections will be
allowed reasonable per centage, to be settled bv
agreement; and clerk, who will devote his whole
time to the labor of keeping the accounts and in
efectuating the correspondence Of the committee
with all parts of the Uuion, will receive a COM
pensatiol dependent on the surplus accruing from
the interest the funded collections. It is the fixed
determination of the committee that not one cent
of the amount collected Preaching the treasurer)
shall be diverted from the objrct for which it is
given. And to effect this adequate security will
be taken TO make safe the funds, wherever lodg-
ed and publicity will be given, in quarterly or
semi-annual statements, of every matter touching
the concern, fo- the satisfaction of subscribers.
All the agents of this committee will be furn-
ished with letter of appointment signed by the
chairman and members of the committee, and coun-
tersigned by their clerk with their seal annexed.
No person who cannot produce such commits
sion is3to be recognised as authorized by US.
All who may prefer to do so, may remit the
amount of their subscI ptions directly to the chair
man of the committee course which is earn
estly recommended to all the friends of tie enter
dent to collection.
