Of Gallia, offered resolution which de-

biennially, and that the sessions should

This subject has been fully discussed

opinion that the present arrangement is
a great mistake, and should and must

Tho Administration n Failure,

. The Pldiadealer says that list OF failures
Of the administration having never been pub
lished, proposes to make one, as follows:
The Administration has failed to commit
itself to the spsculating policy of its Prede-
cessor. sr. r..-i.
1t has failed to give way to the assaults o.
the abolitionists.
y Il has failed to yield to the insoent demand.
Of foreign government.
1t has failed to oppose the principles oI
popular sovereignty.
1t has failed to follow in the footsteps Of
its predecessor, by failing to make several
treaties vitality important to the peace, tran.
guilty, and welfare to our country.
1t has failed to commit itself to Native
Americanism, Know, Nothingism, and fanti,
cism generally.
These are among the failures of the Ad.
ministration. We do not wonder that they
excite the ire Of the fusionists and the Whig
leaders, but we do not wonder that this ire
should be SO publicly and SO bitterly mani
tested. .... .

An Election for Members of Congress,
&C.; will be held during the ensuing month
in several States Of the Union, the Board
of Managers have deemed it their duty to re-
quest the Judges or Commissioners who
may be appointed to take the ballots of the
voters, to put up boxes at the different To-
calities where elections will be held, for the
purpose of receiving such contributions as
the admirers of the Illustrious Father of his
Country may think proper to deposit in aid
Of the great Monument, now in course of
erection in this city to his memory.
They feel assured that when this noble
and patriotic purpose is presented to the peo-
pie, they will not hesitate to give their mite
for such an object; and it now becomes
more necessary, as the funds Of the socie-
ty are rapidly diminishing and may not soon
be adequate to carry on the work. A small
contribution from each citizen or voter
throughout the United States, would be suf-
icient to complete the Monument--a work
intended to add 10 their glory as well as to
honor the memory of the illustrious dead
| A half dime is but an inconsiderabe sum,
and yet half dime contributed by every
inhabitant of our country, would raise the
grand structure, now in progress, to its des-
tined completion. 1t will be pitiful, Won
drous pitiful, if out of twenty-five millions
of souls who inhabit this country, rendered
independent, prosperous and happy mainly
by his exertions and devotion to its cause,
the sum necessary to erect Monument wor-
thy OF such man could not be completed
for the want of the small pecuniary aid
which every American should feel it his
pride as well as his duty to afford.
| At the last Presidential election, the plan
Of obtaining contributions at the Polls, (this
testing the patriotism and liberality ofthe
voters and others) was attempted, though
the previous arrangement were not such as
to insure a very full collection, the result
was as satisfactory as could, under the cir
cumstances, have been expected. Ht}i
lis therefore desirable that this system
should be continued in the different State,
at all future elections of local or genera
nature; and the Board Of Managers indulge
the hope that on this occasion at the elec
tions to be held in the respected States o
Maino, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ma
ryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisi
ana, and Florida, contributions will be mad,
in aid of the Monument, worthy of the Coun
trymen Of their illustrious benefactor.
