ofthe Washington National Monument Society.
JAMES G. PICKETT, Editor and Publisher.
The MONUMENT is intended to be u literary, ag-
ricutural, and miscellaneous paper. 1t will con-
tain select portions Of the literature Of the day
the best that can be found in American and Euro
pean publications.; interesting scientific articles,
embracing mechanics; foreign and domestic news;
synopsis Of the proceedings of Congress, and
every thing that such Journal might be expected
to contain, with the exception of party politics,
which will be at all times most vigorously ex-
cluded.
The MoNUMENr will be published for the ex-
press and the sole purpose OF aiding in the cree
ton Of the noble column now rising on the bank
Of the Potomac, in honor Of the Father of his
Country, and which every one who venerates the
name Of WASHINGTON, would rejoice to see com
peted. After deducting out of the subscription,
the expense of the journal proposed to be publish
ed, the remaining funds will be faithfully applied
and without reserve, TO the purpose indicated
The aid, therefore, of all who willing to con-
tribute to so patriotic object, and one entire
y national, is earnestly requested. BY subscrib-
ing to the MONUMENT, valuable journal at low
price may be obtained while it will be doing
something, at the same time, towards completing
that majestic memorial of the Nation gratitude.
The board of managers recommend Mr.. Pick
EFT, formerly Fourth Auditor ofthe Treasury and
Charge d 'Affalres to Peru, who proposes to edit
and publish the Monument journal, as one well
qualified to perform the duties of editor, and to
conduct the paper, faithfully, and satisfactorily to
the subscribers. They assure their fellow citi-
zens that this enterprise is not speculation got
up for individual emolument. MIR. Pickett will
make the experiment with his own means and al
his own risk, and , If successful, he will receiv.
nothing more, and he asks nothing more, than
very moderate compensation for his services. No
one dollar therefore, of the direct subscription t.
the erection of the Monument will be, in any
event, applied to the support Of the paper, no
the society in any manner held pecuniary respons
! ibie.
| To give the public an idea ofwhat may be don.
with the journal il is proposed to publish, it may
be stated that list fifty thousand paying sub
scrbers, at two dollars each, will yield an annual
net profit of from fifty to sixty thousand dollars
The post masters, and secretaries of all organ
lied bodies throughout the Union, are respect
fully requested to act agents in obtaining sub
scrptions for this journal, thus aiding the great
object of our exertions.
As all editors and publishers, on account of the
object for which the Monument newspaper will
be established, must wish il to succeed it is hoped
that they will contribute to its success by publish
ing this prospectus.
