submitted to the committee. He should like to see the
public squares adorned with public statues long they
had overlooking treasury and when these propositions
forward fairly they should meet them in the proper
spirit Of American citizens and do honor not only to them
selves but the people whom they represented What
there who should visit Washington who would not be
proud to pedestal in monumental square, and sta
tue in bronze Of Geo. Washington that should eclipse any
thing erected on the face Of the globe?
The question then taken on the amendment of Mr..
VESABLE, and 1t was agreed to.
