The Clay Statue.

IL gives us great pleasure 10 announce 10 those
who have taken an interest in tho effort, so crcdi
table to the Ladies of Virginia, TO PerPetuate IN
marble the features Of our GREAT STATESMAN,
that the contract for the completion Of the Statue
as speedily as practicable, has been, within few
days past, finally made with Mr.. JOEL ID. HIATT,
the Kentucky sculptor-whose competency for
the task is avouched, as we'll by examination of
the admirable productions Of his untaught genius,
rs by the concurrng opinions of connoisseurs and
professional artists, in regard to their superiority,
both in conception and execution. Mr.. Hart left
this city few days ago on his return to kentuc-
Ky. with the intention of proceeding forthwith to
the performance Of the grateful duty devolved
upon him by the Ladies of Virginia. After ma.
king a mould in plaster OF his illustrOus coun-
iryman, Mr.. II. will Immediately embark for lta-
", for the purpose Of completing work, destined
hereafter TO be one of the ornaments of our Me.
tropolis, and enduring monument of the en-
thusastic homage paid by the Ladies of Virginia
10 Patriotism, Genius, Courage and Integrity,
EMBODIED in the person of the noblest man of the
Age-a man who by his brilliant public career
and by his private virtues has refIted the maxim
of Scion, that "nono can he secure from degcnera-
CIV untu uealn put lts upon MS
ter"
Ii is believed that there are many persons, who,
from an apprehension that the work would not be
undertaken or from some other cause, have not
vet aided in this generous tribute OF admiration
from Virginia to her most Illustrious living son,
and il is possible that there are small sums collect
ed for the purpose in the hands of individuals in
different parts of the State, which have not yet
been forwarded to the Treasurer in this city. As
il is desirable that those who have undertaken the
task of supervising the execution of the Statue,
and Of making all the needful arrangements, after
IT shall be received from the sculptor's hands, to
place it in a suitable position, should know as
speedily as possible the entire amount Of the fund
dedicated to the undertaking, we ask, in their
name, that all who have not yet subscribed and
who propose to do So shall act promptly, and that
persons who may have collected and not forward
ed money, to be dedicated TO this object, shall
transmit it, as soon as practicable, to VIM. III.
mcfarland, Esq, Treasurer, or to Miss Elisa
NJ Riddle, Assistant Treasurer Of the Clay Fund
IN this city. We may add, that, although the
sum on hand is sufficient to Iemunerate the sculp.
for, yet there will arise contingent expenses
in the transportation Of the Statue and in provid-
ing suitable spot upon which to erect it after its
arrival which may require large additional sum.
We hope, therefore, that this appeal will be
promptly and literally responded to.
