Observation-Disclosures, Gen. Agt.
1t is as well TO make a slight correction in
the above--as 4 matter of the Monuments
history, if for no other reason--for that plan
or suggestion which has caused to be added 10
the Monument fund a greater amount of mo
ney than from any other single source, and
which has doubtless already built some twelve
or fifteen feet Of the Monument, richly merits
a true historical record. The correction mere.
ly is, that instead of the sun above mentioned
being the first amount sent to Washington, as
collected by the means stated, the sum first
collected at the polls by the Monument Boxes
and forwarded to the Board (Which the writer
somehow overlooked) was tOenty dollars, re-
ceived at the municipal election above noticed.
In conclusion, we sincerely trust that the
proper persons throughout the State, will at.
tend to having boxes placed at the polls for the
holy purpose as requested by the Board of
Managers-and we trust that in November,
1856, the matter will become so general and
popular throughout the Union that with the
election of our next President a sufficient fund
will be obtained by the means suggested, to
place the cap-stone upon the proudest monu-
ment in the world. +. 3 ~.
