It is well that this memorial does not owe its broad foundations or its stately -. column, the contemplated decpratioris, and the splen did whole when completed, t,o the vote of Congress from the public treasury; aa fund created byr taxation and disbursed by the stern hand of the law. It is well, and just as it should be. Future generations will envy us the privilige of these voluntary contributihns-the tribute of our hearts, the free-will offering of a great people, whose veneration fof virtue, valor, and self-denying patriotism, would not be satisfied with out sueh a perpetual deuionstration.i.
