THE NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT
The society having in charge the construction
of the national monument to the Father Of his
Country, in the city Of Washington, have ap-
piled to Congress for relief. The plan Of the
monument is an obelisk, or square shaft, Of white
marble, five hundred feet high, rising from the
centre of circular temple, supported by doriC
columns all around. The plan is homogeneous
immensely disproportionate in its parts, and,
as presented in the engravings Of the design, is
suggestive Of prodigious chimney stack to 4
very small foundry. The circular temple, how
ever, BIAS thus far been entirely omitted in the
tuilding of the monument, which has been
limited to the square shaft of eighty feet diane
ter. After carrying it up to height Of one
hundred and fifty.six feet, from voluntary sub
scriptions, collected all over the Union through
period of twenty years, the society are con-
strained to abandon the work for want of funds
and to apply to Congress for help.
The subject, on motion of Mr.. May, has been
referred to a special committee of thirteen
members of the House, to consider and report
upon the same. 1t is to be hoped that they
will act with that spirit of liberality which the
dignity Of the question demands. 1t would be
well, even at this stage of the work, if any
change in the plan can be adopted to make
the monument more agreeable to the eye,
and more harmonious in its proportions-it
would be we'll, we repeat, that some
such change should be made. The compile
ton Of the monument, according to the plan Of
the society, would probably require million
OF dollars from the treasury, and an indefinite
number Of years yet to come. The spirit of the
age rebels at this delay. What the present
generation takes in hand it expects to finish
The Cathedral of Cologne will be magnificent
thing when completed. But will it ever be
completed? Whatever the committee may
agree upon. we trust they will agree upon som.
plan for finishing the monument to Washington
Let them not transmit the job to posterity; but
give them the work completed.
AT the same time, the attention Of Congress
should be directed, without delay, to the shame
fully dilapidated condition of the tomb at Mount
Vernon. 1t is disgrace to the country
Whether the estate is purchased or not by the
government, Congress should at least erect
vault for the ashes Of the PATER PATRIE, and
Martha, the consort of Washington, which will
last beyond the existing generation. Let the
House Committee of thirteen visit the tomb
at Mount Vernon, and they will have subject
which cannot fail to challenge their Immediate
attention. What are monuments and pyram Z
but a mockery of veneration, if the ashes of t.
mighty dead are lost from neglect and delay in
securing their preservation
