From The Richmond Republican.
TO WASHINGTON

Our readers have seen by an advertisement which has
appeared for days in columns that the Com
rsseners appointed by the Governor offer premium OF
five hundred dollars for plan for the Washington Monu'
Ment. The Monument is TO be located on The Capitol
Square the Bell House, to abe constructed of Viz
gnla granite or marble, or combination of both, and
cost hundred thousand dollars"
We trust that the movement now begun will be fol
lowed up in earnest until the stigma shall be removed
from the shield Of Virginia, with which she is oien
tainted by her enemies that she has within her borders
no Monument To Washington. 1t is true that his fame
is enshrined in every Virginia bosom But there is no
"ouward and visible sgn, of 1--we and venfrailon,
and the world tooap to Judge by appearances, nfes,
from the absence of monument, that Washington "hath
no honor in his country" and that The land which
gave him to The world knows less than any other land
the value of The boon.
But this is false inference and Vginians will show
that it is false. They will hasten sure 10 en-
bdy their feelings for Washington in outward form
as majestic harmonious, impershable his sublime
and immortal character. With equal devotion. old and
young, rich and poor, will contribute their cid
nent which will proclaim 10 future ages, not that Wash
ngton was the greatest and most viriuous Of men, hui
that Vlsgina, his mother, knew how appreciate he
sin.
