The eloquent appeal Of the Regent Of
the Association, Miss Cunningham, } il
now before the public; do not let it p'ead
in vain, but with willing hearts work !;
for the object is glorious, and well ,wor-
thy of woman pure and lofty patriotism.
Among the modes of collecting means
for this purpose, one presents itself as be-
ing decidedly appropriate and acceptable !:
It is by forming clubs in all parts of the
country, and sending for "Stuart's Gold
Mounted Oil portrait" which the Assoei-
alton offer at the small tribute of one dol
| lar each. E.a a8 -a@a ara-a
Clubs of 10, 20, or more persons, can
remit to tie "Regent," at Charleston, S.
c., Mrs. Susan l.. Pellet; Corresponding
Secretary, at Richmond, Va, or such
Vice Regents as are named in the eireu-
lar, representing the Mt Vernon inter
est in other States. ~.
This plan of forming clubs, entered in
to by friends of the cause, in their own
immediate circle, relieves the Association
from the necessity Of forwarding single
copies, when ordered, the transmission Of
which attended with 50 much more trouble
and expense, especially when sent to re-
mote quarters of the country, while, BY
the plan proposed, the farthest point can
be reached, and each person, composing
a club of dozen or more, can possess
this picture at a trifiing cost of post or
express charges. Parcels of 5, 10, 20,
so, or 100 copies, will be carefully put
up and sent to any point of address, on
the receipt of one dollar, fer each picture
ordered. Thus, ten dollars, RENTED for
ten pictures; Fifty dollars, for fifty pic.
