The Board Of Managers of the WASH
rxGroN MONUMENT AssocrATIoN have
lately published an address to the Ameri-
can people, making another appeal in be-
half Of that great national structure, now
rising at the Federal Capital. It is more
than surprising, that these calls should have
10 be 50 frequently made upon our citizens,
to contribute their aid in the erection Of
Monument, that is to perpetuate, not the
name Of Washington, for that can never
die, but the proofof the homage in which
he was held, by the generation immediate
" succeeding him--and more than NOR
flying to know. that if these appeals ale
not responded to, the work will have 10
be discontinued, for the want Of means.-
Ifsuch result should come TO pass. it will
leave the stigma of lasting discredit upon
our age, and brand our pretended venera
ton for his virtues and his memory, as an
"emptv show" 1t is work to which every
citizen o. the y. S. should gladly contri
butte. The Society have been struggling
seventeen wears TO accomplish their task,
and yet only one fifth Of its intended
height has been attained. The simple do
nation Of three cents, as stated in the ad-
dress. from each white inhabitant OF The
United States, will ensure its completion,
in few years Surely the patriotism the
gratitude, and the national pride Of our
citizens, will prompt them to furnish the
amount necessary to complete structure,
by which future generations Will measure
our appreciation of the character of Wash
ington and our gratitude forhis great deeds.

The Natchez Courier collates the opin-
ions of the Union Wing press Of MississiP
pi in regard to the proposed call for re-
organization Of the Wing party in that
State. The feeling in favor ofsuch pro-
cedure appears to be largely on the in
crease. although certainly dissented from
by more than one Journal Of deserved inhu-
ence in the Union ranks.
