The washington Monument.

To the Editor Of the american Organ:
Sra: Agrecably to resolution Of Emap Council
the subjoined paper Is transmitted you for pubica
ton. word or two In connection with the sub
iect. The object contemplated must commend L.
self TO every true American. The only controversy
that can possibly exist is with regard to ID tmeans
best adapted TO the securement 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 will fail 10 secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which will be the natural
and unfailing results Of the plan below.
Our plan proposes TO commence with the high
est body known 10 the order, and TO 90 forth with
its authority. fthe plan be adopted, the Grand
Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
win exert a similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system viii be thorough, and con-
sequenty the desired results will be but legitimate
effects. Nor Is this mere theory, INFESTED and
untried. We call 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, d. c.,
one hundred and .ftfy dollars in aid of the Wash.
ington National Monument Society, in part of a
contribution of sir hundred dollars voted by said
Eutas Council JNo. NJ. MCCALL,
iTths washington NhtlO0M monument.
Here, then, Is a specimen Of the working of the
plan we recommend-an earnest Of what il is able
to sccomplish--a 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 ef imperfect plans. But
that appropriate memorial Of the nations gratitude
will uprise in beauty and grandeur until It's stain.
less marble and It's towering altitude shall fy rep.
resent alike the purity Of the life and the splendor
of the fame Of Washington. GEoRoErowS.
