T5.the Editor Of the Americaa Organ:
SrR Agreeably TO resolution of Emdp Council
the suboned paper IL transmitted you for publica-
ton. word or two in connexion with the SUBJ
iect. The object contemplated must commend IL
self 10 every true American. The only controversy
that can possibly exist Is with regard to ID tmeans
best adapted 10 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 resorted TO- That course
we are convinced, will fail TO secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which win be the natural
and unfailing results Of the plan below.
Or plan proposes 10 commence with the high
est body known to the order, and to 20 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 win be thorough, and con-
sequenty the desired results win be but legitimate
effects. Nor IL this a 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, ID. O.,
one hundred and fifty dollars, In aid of the Wash
ington National Monument Society, in part Of a
contribution Of SIR h1ndred dollars voted by said
Eutas Council Jso. M. McCALLA,

Here, then, Is a specimen Of the working Of the
plan we recommend--an earnest of what Il is able
TO 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
win no longer be dependent upon the uncertain
and insufficient supplies which have heretofore beer
raised by the operation Of imperfect plans. But
that appropriate memorial Of the nations gratitude
will uprise in beauty and grandeur until its stain
ess marble and its towering altitude shall tly rep
resent alike the purity Of the life and the splendoI
