To the Editor Of The Trt6aae:


perceive proposition is made IN your paper
of the 23d inst. to raise $4,000 and present it
to the Hon. Henry Clay. Now, sir, as 10 the
raising that sum or a much greater one, am in
favor OF 1t, and although my means are mited,
will myself subscribe Sl00, and more ii neces-
sary. Not, however, for Inc purpose uf pies nj
ing to Henry Clay tribute in paltry lucfc, there
by indicating that appreciation OF MS merits
can be estimated by dollars and cents; but for Inc
more appropriate purpose of erecting 20 the CON-
memoraton of his disling uishei services, the
noblest monument ever yet dedicated to man, to
be located at Washington as spontaneous trib-
ute OF the regard, the vcneration, and the iore,
his countrymen feel for his name and its attend
ant merits-a name that will brighten even the
present dark page of our country's history, and
which will she'd light upon the age in which
we live, capable cnly Of being heightened by con
trasting it with the base and black ingratitude OF
his vile calumnietors.

beyond the amount requisite for the monument
should be presented ss proposed, and doubt not
that such excess would exceed 100000.
