self 10 every true American. The only controversy
that can possibly exist Is with regard TO tb
best adapted TO the sccurement Of the end. We
understand that the plan Of circulars addressed on
the part Of the Managers Of the Monument TO the
various councils has been resortedto That course,
we are convinced, win fail to secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which viii be the natural
and unfailing results Of the plan below.
Oar plan proposes TO commence with the high
est body known 70 the order, and to 60 forth with
its authority. If the plan be adopted, the Grand
Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they In turn
viii exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils The system will be thorough, and con-
sequently the desired results win be but legitimate
effects. Nor Is this a mere theory, infested and
untried. We cali attention TO the following paper,
the original Of which is in the hands Of the Trea-
surer Of Eutaw Council
Received, Washington, May %, 1855, Of the
Treasurer Of Eutaw Council, Georgetown, ID. c.,

Here, then, is a specimen Of the working Of the
plan we recommend--sn earnest Of what IL Is able
10 accomplish kind Of first fruits Of the abun-
dant harvest which may be gathered from all sec
tons Of our native land. And thus the Monument
will no longer be dependent upon the uncertain
and insufficient supplies which have heretofore been
raised by the operation Of imperfect plans. But
that appropriate memorial Of the nations gratitude
will uprse in beauty and grandeur until its STAIN
