The act OF Congress providing for this statue, su-
thorzes the President TO contract with Mr.. Mills Tor
the erection Of colossal work, not inferior TO his
equestrian statue Of Jackson in size, finish and pc
destal. For the accomplishment Of this patriotic
purpose the sum Of fy thousand dollars is placed

object Of national contemplation to tho future occupants
Of the Executive Mansion and both houses OF Con-
gress. 1t could be seen from all the departments,
from every approach to, and and street n the
metropolis that bears the name of WAsRINGToN.-.
Our countrymen, and visiters and sojourners from
other nations, they flock to the national city will
be struck by this great national memeno Of gratitude
and affection. Coming up the Potomac, from beside
the quiet and halloweG shades of Mount Vernon (or.

tionO the traveller will fix his eyes, often, we doubt
not, suused with grateful and patriotic tears, on the
colossal statue Of the hero and the statesman whose
fame is wide the world. Entering the city from
any other direction, for quite distance out, the ma
jcsc structure will strike the gaze of the bchoIder
and fill him with admiration, and inspire him, if he
he patriot at heart with the most grateful emotions
The construction Of the Washington statue on this
plan will, OF course, require much larger han
that provided BY Congress. And we cannot doubt,
tor moment, bu, that it would be forthcoming at
once for such a purpose. Mr.. Mills has shown his
countrymen what he do by his equestrian statue
OF Jackson; and we believe the people will nobly
sustain their national Legislature If they shall invest
the President with ample powers TO enable the dis
tnguished American artist fully to complete bis grand
design.-W ashington Union.
