BY Mr. Spencer, of New York, from which take the
following extracts:
It's understood that the general plan of monument
contempates structure with thirteen sides faces
united by entabatuTe upon which the Declaration OF
independence shall be cut into the sold stone, sur
mounted by a tower shaft; the thirteen faces to
tain such inscriptions and emblazoniDgs each State
shall direct commemorative of ciIizen ctsens
of her own who took part in the responsibility OF that
Declaration. OF course, the architectural desgn aud
details must be left to the skill and of artists
subject the appreciation OF the representative OF the
contributing States.
The monument the ground on which il may be erect
ed the adjacent grounds, and the Hall Of the d. clara
lion of Independence will be cOnsecrated, As the Con-
yentisn has already been assured by the Select and
