PROPOSED MONUMENT TO MR.. CLAY.

To the Editors of he National Latelli,,eacer.
GENTLEMEN: We send you her ewith, and re-
quest you to publish in the Inte .yencer, q paper
signed by many members of both. Houses Of Con-
gress, the object of which is to aid in concentrat
ing the public attention upon the plan of erecting
suitable Monument to the. Memory of HENRY
CLAY on the spot where his. remains are inferred
You will remember that in. compliance with one of
the last requests of Mr.. CLAY his body was con-
veyed by the order Of tfAe Senate, to Lexington in
Kentucky, and buried in the cemetery there, near
to Ashland, and in the midst Of the graves Of his
early friends. About the same time an Associa-
ton, without distinction Of party, was organized at
Lexington with the view to erect over his grave a
Colossal National Monument worthy Of the country
and Of his own great fame. In coEnexion with the
Central Association at Lexington, others have been
formed in most of the States to carry out this pa
rotic enterprises and It is expected that in short
time SIMILAR Asaneiatis.s VII be fnr1nsd in the
naming States The movement is not intended to
interfere with local memorials Of respect for the
memory of Mr., CLAY. But it proceeds upon the
idea that he deserves National Monument, and
that the proper spot to erect it is oyer his grave
I While KENTUCKY invokes the aid of her sister
States in the performance Of this grateful duty, she
will not be reluctant to recognise eminent talents
and public services in other quarters of our COM
mon country. Her citizens would promptly second
movement for Monument to CALHOUN in South
Carolina, to WEBSTER in New England, or to any
other ilustrious American in any part Of the Con-
federacy.
1t is proper to say that the enclosed paper has
not been presented to every Member of Congress,
chiefly for want of time; but from the promptness
with which it was signed by those whose names are
attached to it, we doubt not that it would have
ceved the signatures Of all, or nearly all, in both
| Houses.
We venture, also in this mode, to call the atten-
ton of the Press throughout the country to the
subject, and to invite its aid in promoting the OBJ
jects of the Central Association

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, Dec %, 1852

The undersigned, Members of the Senate and
House of Representatives, with great pleasure re.
cognise and approve the general desire manfesting
itself throughout the country to commemorate by
some National Monument the patriotic services and
rare abilities of our amented fellowcitizen, HENRY
CLAY We also approve the general sentiment
which seems to indicate the spot selected by him
self for his last resting place as the most appropriate
location for this monument. The grave Of HENRY
CLAY must ever be sacred spot upon our national
soil, to be visited in the coming ages of the Repub
lie by patriot pilgrims from every quarter of the
land; and after the day of our countrys great
ness, the Monument erected over his remains will
be sought out by the stranger as one of the most
interesting mementoes of the past glory Of the Re
public and of her children's fame.
In order that the proposed Monument should be
worthy of the object it is designed to commemorate,
and of the sentiment which originates it there must
be union of effort and concentration of resources
We therefore most earnestly recommend gene
raj and efficient organization by States and Terrific
ries, in accordance with the plan proposed by the
Central Association and the example already estab-
lished by majority of the States and we promise
our cordial cooperation by every proper means in
this 1audahla patriotic and national enterrrise
