With hearts and hands united we meet to protest against tne removal of the Fountain from Court Square; to pre- serve the historic spot where now stands the axtesfan basin. Around it clusters so many sacred associations connected with a treasured past. Mem oTy recalls the days when tt was the forum for the distinguished men who guided the ship of state, and as states men and orators gave Alabama the proud position she still holds in the galaxy of Southern States.
 There gre present those who remem- Der the old court house, as it stood on this sacred spot. There was heard Governor Watts, William l.. Yancey. H. W. Hilliard, John A. Fillmore. Judge J. Goldthwaite. S. Rice and other sil- yer tongued orators in the cause of l justice. The leading argument I offer l against the proposed ofdee building is ! that it would concentrate business on one point, when other more suitable places can be obtained than this, where the pure air and blessed sunshine brightens the scene. It is said that ! the tongue and tears are the weapons of women. We would be tempted to weep, if our protest is of no avail, but we earnestly hope that your eloquent pleading with the city fathers win win them without tears. ladies the sub- 1ect is presented for your considdra- ton. beg that you win discuss 1t freely. remembering that in the multi tude of counsel there is wisdom | Eloquent remarks were made by Miss Grimm, Mesdames J.
