NATIONAL MONUMENT TO
WASHINGTON.
HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.
To the Editor of the Suiuhuj Times:
In your paper of last week is u communica
lion showing how much has been attempted*
and how little accomplished, in relation to tin
Washington Monument. In the coursc ul his
remarks, the writer alludes lo the fact that
some years ago a collection was made thro'
out the United States, in subscriptions of one
dollar each, for a national monument in Wash
ington City, at which place the proceeds, now
amounting to $56,000, arc in safe keeping
He might have added the fact that this money
is well invested, increasing ut the rate of $30011
per annum, under the direction of the man
agers of the National Monument Society, a
body comprising some of our mqst distinguish
ed and trust-worthy men j that a uewnuJ well
directed effort is about being made by the Hon.
.F-lisha Whittlesey, of Ohio, to obtain new
subscriptions ; and that Congress will probably j
ai the next session, authorize the use of thai
portion of the mall in front of the capitol which
was years ago set apart for this purpose?from
all which it follows that there is a lair prospect
of having in course of time, one monument
that .is really national at the city founded by
Washington, which is expressly devoted to
national buildings and monuments, and on
ground belonging to the Union, in which eve
ry citizen feels equally interested, and to which
increasing numbers every year rcson, chiefly
for the purpose of looking on the great men and
monuments of our country's glory.
Now the question arises, is it expedient to
build another monument here-*?or rather at
tempt the erection of one?with scarcely a dol
lar yet subscribed, and a prospect of long and
troublesome delay I There are so mauy objects
of necessity, charity, a'ld utility, to which our
citizens are constantly called to contribute, that
it will not be found so easy to collcct oue huu
dred thousand, or even fifty thousand dollars,
(either of which sums would be but a begin
Ding, while one fifth of the amount added to
the fund at Washington would accomplish
muchj Let it be remembered that, as a gene
ral thing, it is not from our wealthy citizens
that subscriptions for such purposes come. Wt
find that the millionaires on Washingion Square
are unwilling to contribute the comparatively
small sumof $10,000 for a fouutaiit which would
improve their properly, an l at the same time be
of great public benefit, by making that parade
ground what the Chumps Elysecs of l'aris is
?an attractive and agreeable place of resort
for the poorer classes, who are unable'to go iiv
to the country in the summer, and lessening
the inducements to visit drinking gardens at a
sacrifice of health and money. Some of these
property holders are even uarrow-miuded
enough lo object to it on this very account,
without regard to the fact that those who col
lectin Union Square are always orderly and
well-behaved, and generally dressed with neat
ness?such are the refining influences of falling
water. Then look at the Bunker Hill monu
ment. How many years did it remain in a
half-finished state in the rnidst of a population
where they are famous for liberality to publio
objects ?
An appeal will probably be made to state
pride, and the position of this the largest city
?n the Union. But if such considerations are
to influence, then every State may present
them with equal force, and we shall have many
sectional monuments, all rivalling each other,
and nothing emblematical of the strength of
Union, as would be one on a grand scale at the
seat of the government, and near the birth place
of the father of his country. Nor would a
monument here be witnessed, in the long run,
by a6 many citizens from all parts of the coun
try as at Washingion?for one hall the stian
gers who come here never go up town, and
still fewer would ever visit Hamilton Square.
Every man who goes to the capital will have
it before his eyes, surrounded by memorials ol
other great men in the country's history. Jl
we are to have anything ol the kind here, lot
it be a grand hospital for wounded or worn oiji
soldiers. The Hotel des Invdlidcn is ihe proud
est monument of Louis XVI., at Paris.
VlATOlt.
The Whig* of Meriwether county, Ga., have re
solved that the President violated tho Constitution
by bringing on ihe war, that they go for the coun
try right or wrong now that it ia in the war, and
that old Zach ahull l?e Umj next President. Do you
hear that, Mr. Polk 1
The Democratic Polk pipers in Georgia, are com
plaining that the military *pirit which prevail
ed in that State ha* died out. The battalion recent
ly called for has not yet been filled, ami what little
has been done baa been by Mexican >\ hig?. Ii i,
no more than could be expected. Does Mr. Poll
suppoac that inen are going to light his wars undc
partisan Polk officers, who do not knt)w how to di|
a ditch nor lo waik on ihc banks of one wilhou
falling and breaking his log ?
1*11 he Spy in Wai hington eon-idcie pra- e will
Mexico aa inevitable, if so and *>, atd to and bo
That'a precisely our opinion.
Gen. Taylor and the Folunleer.?We vouch
for the iruih of the following anecdote says th*
New Orleans Bulletin, which occurred with
one of our personal friends last week.
Oneot the lecently returned volunteers, pass
ing down Royal street, accosted the gentUman
who was standing at the door of his office, and
made an inquiry for the direction to a place he
wished to lind, when, just at the moment, a
hard shower came on, the gentleman invited 1
the stranger to enter his office, and wait until
it was passed.
Whilst thus detained, a conversation took
place, in winch the volunteer gave many in
terestuig details, and particularly of General
Taylor, or "ihe old man," as he called him,
oi whom (in common, we believe with every
one who lias been under his command) he was
a great admirer. The good sense, practical
knowledge, and observation uf men and things
exhibited by the stianger, made such a favora
ble impression,' that when he ruse to depart,
the gentleman said to him, " you are-a stian
gcr in tin* city, and j| 1 can do any tiling to
serve or oblige you, it will afford me much
pleasure." The volunteer thanked him cour
teously, but said he was on bis way home, and
tliat tin re was nothing that he required, but
that he, nevertheless, felt greatly obliged, by
the kind offer, and look his leave.
He bad proceeded about half a square, when
he turned and came again to the office, and
said, " you were so kind, sir, as to oiler me,
just now, your services, for which 1 did not
think 1 had any occasion; but 1 have since
thought tiiat there is a lavor you can do me,
and for which I shall feel obliged." ?' Certain
ly," said the gentleman j *? what is it ? I wilj
do it with pleasure." ?? il is, thai tvhen the time
comes, you will vote for llic old man." Our
triend most cordially and promptly promised
to do so, and with a hearty shake of the hand
iliey again parted.
This simple incident speaks a whole volume,
and id more significant than the unanimous
nomination ol General Taylor by a large city
meeting. " Wheu the time comes," aye, and
before it comes, there will be '^0,000 just such
volunteer canvassers, distributed throughout
the length and hmtdth of the land, from Maine
f to Georgia, and iVom the Atlantic to the Rocky
Mountains, each one of whom will be able to
enlist an entire county under the Taylor flan.
A .NO PARTY" PRESIDENT!
Tho Whigs of the City of New York, says the
Aluany Evening Journal, parity because ihey bold
the City Government, aud partly because tbey arc
magnanimous as well as gooJ naturcd, bad to "do
the honors" for Prc.-idcnt Polk, upon his arrival there.
In reply to tho wclcoine extended to President
Polk by the President of the Board of Aldermen,
that dignitary said :?
"Sir, I visit Nrw York as the President of the
luiiled States, and I rejoice in the welconic which I
have received at the hands of your City. I g? t.,
visit the Northern section of our country, with which
district 1 am lees familiar thorc with oilier jrortioiis.
1 hope, Sir, wherever I go, to have the same pleasure
wbich 1 now enjoy, the i*lnasure of meeting and re
ceiving the greetings ot my fellow-citizens without
distinction of pa.ty : tor, Sir, as President I know no
paity but the whole country and its bast interests."
I here is, sometimes, a positive luxury in "beint;
cheated." Mr. Polk hopes to be received and wel
comed with "greetings," parades and feasts, wher
ever he gv.es, "without distinction of pirly !" Sy far
?s pageants and dinners go, "as President, I know
no party, bu! the whole country !" This is *?mr
thing gained! Whigs, in common with their oppo
nents, may enjoy lli>; privilege of "greeting" aud fol*
lowing a President who, after turning theni all out
of office, sent a message to Congress accusing them
of "rendering aid and comfort to the enemy !"
James K. Polk is a par'y President of the strictest
and narrowest order of his sect. We are willing to
see those who owe him homage, pay it, as warmly
or as coldly, as they please. But we should like to
see Whig* showing sufficient respect for themselves
and their principle*, to leave to h:s own fol lowers all
the glory of welcoming a President who was nomi
nated to destroy the Tariff; and who, after involv
ing ui in war with Mexico, sent ho me Santa Ana
and Almonte to make that war respectable.
CO* Upon a careful examination of Gen. Taylors
portrait, says the New Orleans National, there will
be found marked upon it all the peculiarities which,
we presume in the physical, to be characteristic of
the mind. The very high and ralher narrow fore
head, which, in Gen. Taylor even more than in the
portrait, strongly resembles Walter Scott's, suggests
the great facility of thought and expression. The
reflective faculties are large, aud the heavy brow de
notes a kind disposition and a love for qulel humor.
The eye is the prominent point; small and set deeply
in the head, you sec mirrored in it all ihe virtues aud
amenities of life. You see there lb* spirit that
prompts Gen. Taylor to bear the humblest soldier's
wrongs, and petsonally attend to their redress; that
makes him so lovod as a neighbor aud a friend, that
to markedly speaks the honest man. But as you
look, you can discover in ihe depths of the mind that
are thus but impcrfccily displayed, that you can ima
gine must be exhibited in the excitement of tho bat
tle field, and gave lo that calm and patriotic faco a
sfcrnne.-s of purpose as unyielding as the foundations
of tho earth.
I ho Democracy ol Georgia is in a terrible snarl
about General Taylor. Tho Democratic people are
going for him with a pcrfccl rtuli, whereat tho
Athens, Ga. Banner, the head Polk Paper in the
ftate, has recently printed a long article, gcin<? to
show that Old Zaeh is a Whig, every inch of him,
and calling upon tho Democratic people not to de
sen their old standard. But the Democratic people
heed not such Muff. 'JVy arc for Taylor, and no
one else, and it is belioved that the coming Demo
cratic Gubanatorial Convention in Georgia will no
initiate the old Hero nolens volnn.
I he Spy u, Washington predicts an irnmediate
convention of the Senate to act upon the Scott trea
ty?il it w made.
The reason why Col [Jeflcrsou Davis refund the
commission of Brigadier General which public opi
nion extorted from Mr. Polk, is, that the Colonel i&
of opinion that volunteers should always elect theii
own officer* from the highest to the lowest!
Every Whig paper in Georgia but two have hoist
ed the Taylor flag !

In one hreath, Mr. Polk told the Mayor of New
York that he wan a no-party President! In the
nat, he told the Tammany Hall Democratic Young
Men's Committers that he would meet these bodies,
so famous throughout the Union, at their h ills !

tormed j lurnuls in the Slate, says, that Iho Whigs
of Georgia ktioiv General Taylor to be a Whig.

OCJvMr. Cagger, the man who whipped the
editor of the Albany Argus, is a Locofoco lea
dcr. We believe, says Prentice, it is univer
sally understood that the Locofoco leaders gen
erally insist on the right of whipping (heir
editors whenever they like.
A blackguard was arrested a few dayc ago
iu E;'s!on, Pennsylvania, for throwing mud at
a church. Why asks Prentice are not the
blackguards of the Washington Uuion and the
Louisville Democrat punished for throwing
mud at all the churches of a whole nation ?

tive Pills is a medicine which not ouly cures
hut prevents disease, capable of great results, and
equally calculated to he safely used for apparently
small ones. We all know how dreadful and dan
gerous a seated bilious disorder is, aud wo are also
well aware of the seeming insignificance of its first
warnings or inciptency. The individual suffering
fiom slight pains in his chest, back, or stomach, or
from occasional r.au-ea, dull headache, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trilling prevarication of ap
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so c minou
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treated so contemp
tuously, are the consciences of a diseased stato of
the. liver, which if not remedied, will lead either to
speedy death or a Imig train of unbearable ills which
nrc known by the following names: Hypochondria,
mania, dizziness, slow fevers, epilcjwy, asthma,
dropsy, rheumatism, chlorosis, convulsions, nausea,
nervousness, crapma, gout, pleurisy, jaundice, irrita
bility, and violence, dyspepsia, hysteiics, scurvy,foul
stomach, diy coughs, glandular affections, colds, lin
gering sore throats various disorganizations of the.
great intestine, strictures and spasmodic complaints
internally, eruptions, shortness of breath, heartburn,
neuralgia, vital inflammation, flatulence, gastric fe
vers, &c.
Sometimes, too, there ensues an irregular action
of the heart. Take these pills and suffer no more.
