 Subscriptions may be made of any amount and It IS hoped that an adequate sum may bf obtained, If no subscription exceeded one hundred dollars; but as there may be some mistake in our calculation, 1t is also to be hoped that no man of large means and of 3 liberal spirit, will consider himself limited in the amount of his contribution by tbis suggestion. The smallest contribution will be received, even 'sthe widows mite:,o fo, the country will feel more pride in the null tltude of hearts engaged in this work, than H the amount of money. As an acknowl- edgment to subscribers, and as a cheek on all concerned in the collection of subscriptions amonthly publication will be made of the names, residence, and occupation of subscri. bers, and of the amount subscribed. and the original lists transferred in stereotype, or in- seHbed on some permanent material, will be perpetuated in connexon with the monu- ment.
