spacious chamber.
On motion of Mayor Drum, : the meet
ing was organized by calling Jas. Mar
shall, Esq., to the chair.

object of the meeting.- He that he

huudrs and seventy-five of the leading
(Athena protesting against the action of

mental Association in locating tbanion
ument in the Allegheny Cemetery, and

the Allegheny Cemetery as the location
for the monument. 'As a lot holder in
the Cemetery he would enter his pptnest
against it. He would not urge the „loca
tion of the monument in Allegheny
if a better site could be obtained elidg
where, but he thought it should be so
situated thee all who desired to visit and
look at it could do so at any and all times

Capt. ICC' . Kounta was neat pilled •
upon to add the meeting. He said It
would not be in good taste for him to ad
vocate the location of the monument in .
Allegheny city, as it might be said he
was personally interested. -
Mr. James Mcßrier was next called
upon, and addressed the meeting briefly.
He thought it injudicious to censure the
ladies for the action they had taken, as
they were doubtless conscientious in
their views, and perhaps did not see the
matter in the same light that many oth
ers did.
' REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. "
The Committee on Resolutions through
their Chairman, presented the following
preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, As citizens of the city and
county of Allegheny, we have assembled
for the purpose of giving expression to
our feelings in relation to the action of
those of the incorporators of the Ladies'
Monumental Association who took upon
themselves the responsibility of designat:
ing the Allegheny Cemetery as the de
pository of the proposed Soldiers' Monu
ment; and, Whereas, Without pausing to
discuss the questionable proceeding by
which this decision was reached, as citi
zens of Allegheny,we regret the hasty and
injudicious selection of the incorporators
in consigning to almost comparative ob
livion, the monument intended to be , an
ever in•asentireininder of the heroism' of
our tatherVbrothers, sons and friends
who, died that the nation might live.
And whereas, custom and common
sense suggest as proper places for public.
monuments, points most accessible and
commanding. The hiding of a public
monument, such as the proposed
Soldiers' Monument, within the high
walls of.the Allegheny Cemetery,
where i can .scarcely be seen
from' the loftiest hills surrounding
both cities, remote also from the great
bulk of the population, access to whit*
cannot always be had without trouble--
is one of those proceedings for which we
are wholly 't unable to account; and
whereas, it , is not from any selfish mo
tive that we utter this, our protest,
against the action of the incorporators,
simply becausothe sites proffered by the
Allegheny - Park Commission were in
considerately rejected by the Monu
mental Association, and declare our
readiness to cheerfully, acquiesce in any
other locotion, oombining the necessary
requisites of accessibility and -promi
nence; therefore,
Resolved, That this meeting earnestly
and sincerely protests against locating
the Soldiers' Monument in the Alle
gheny Cemetery, because, in our opin
ion, it does not offer a single requisite.
Resolved further, That we sincerely
trust that the ladies having the matter
in charge will reconsider their action,
and (disclaiming any discourtesy) sug
gest to them to recognize one imp:giant
fact, that they ,represent only a- small.
portion of those whose money was _con
,tributed; aft& also of those who 'repre
sent:tile heroek whose:deeds and.
memories ibitemontithent is intended to
'perpettustb in thibitodtmunity.
