AS Elections for Members of Congress-
&C., will be held during the ensuing months
in several States of the Union, the Board Of
Managers have deemed it their duty to request
the Judges or Commissioners who may be APP
pointed to take the ballots Of the voters, to put
up boxes at the different localities where cleo
tons will be held, for the purpose of receiving
such contributions as the admirers of the
lllustrious Father Of his Country may think
proper to deposit in aid Of the great Monu-
ment, 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 people,
they will not hesitate to give their mite to
such an object and it now becomes more
necessary, as the funds Of the society are rap
idly 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 sufficient to complete
the Monument work intended to add to
their glory as well as to honor the memory Of
the illustrious dead. A half dime is but an
inconsiderable sum, and yet half dime con-
trlbuted by every inhabltant of our country,
would rear the grand structure now in pro-
gress, to its destined completion. 1t will be
pltlful, wOndrous pitiful, if out of twenty-five
millions of souls who inhabit this great coun-
try, rendered independent, prosperous and
happy, mainly by his exertions and devotion to
its cause, the sum necessary to erect a Monu-
ment worthy of such man could not be COM
pleted 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
e IL. Al.
(thus testing the patriotism and liberality of
the voters and others) was attempted, though
the previous arrangements were not such as
to insure very full collection, the result was
as satisfactory as could under the circumstan-
ces, have been expected.
1t is therefore desirable that this system
should be continued in the different States at
all future elections of local or general nature /;
and the Board Of Managers indulge the hope
that on this occasion the elections to be held
in the respective States of Maine, Vermont.
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisiana, and
Florida, contributions will be made in aid of
the Monument, worthy Of the countrymen Of
their illustrious benefactor
GEO. WATTERsToN,
Secretary Of the w. ". ". s.
We copy the above appeal to our citizens
for aid in this great and patriotic enterprise,
with the hope that contributions will be taken
in all our towns at the coming elections
Boxes for this purpose may be placed beside
the ballot box for the reception of contribu-
tons, and the money so collected can be for
warded to the Secretary. Will not some
patriotic citizen in every town make the neces-
sary preparations, and see that every voter
deposits something to the memory Of our
