To TIE LADIES OF LYScHBCRG. We UNI
dcrst aud that the Ladies ofihe Mount Vernon
Association design appropriately celebrating the
National Jubilee in Richmond, by addresses from
eloquent speakers at the African Church, in be-
half of the holy cause of securing to Virginia the
home and grave of Washington. We have ON
other occasions, but TO 40 purpose, directed the
attention of the ladies' of this city, to that Aaso
citation, and urged ,heir co cooperation with it
We feel it almost useless we have said be-
fore to say anything in commentator OF this
effort that is being made to secure the home and
the sacred remains of our great and noble Wash
ngton to the State that gave him birth-his own
Virginia. Ii Is Il work that pleads its own cause
more touchingly than can the tongue of elo
quence The decaying, neglected home, the
crumbng and Wondering tomb, the mournful air
of dilapidation and neglect at that haowed spot
stand there as living rebuke, and appeal in ir-
rcsistible terms to the patriotism the pride and
the gratitude of the people Of Virginia
Let them respond to that appeal, and now that
an effort is being made to secure to his native
State the spot endered to Americans, as having
been the home of Washington, and now sacred as
containing his Wondering remains. and which
will probably secure it from the hands of some
Specializing Yankee, Virginians should, with
proud, and joyous and grateful nlacrity, step
forth and with open hands tender their bounte-
Gus offerings.
We suggest that an Association be formed by
! the ladies' of this city, to cooperate with the
Central Association at Richmond; and that they
exert them selves in carrying out the noble object
had in view. Thisis their duty-wW they per-
form ii?
