of the sect of the presbyterians in the free country of gaining a political ascendancy and of their making religion the ladder of their ambition it appears that they have bit upon the auxiliary expedient of removing the remains of the mother of general washington from the family bury- inggroundof her soninlaw colonel fielding lewis m to a presbyterian church edifice to be erected in this town fredericksburg and therein to raie a monument to her memory these quotations are taken from a letter dated fredcricksburgh may 10th 1881 and direct ed to the editors of the courier and enquirer by gcorcc washington bassctt the husband of mrs washinctons great granddaughter the writer remarks if there is however an ob vious propriety in this mode of effecting their ob ject it is certainly difficult to discern the fitness of a single religious denomination not constitut ing a very large proorlion even of this small community meaning probably at fredericks burg taking this thing into thtir own hands as a matter of particular advantage and making it the ground of appeal for funds c c the writer it appears has the penetration to see that this projected tiibulcof respect to the memo ry of this modern sempronia such as grateful nations ami communities have in all ages been wont to do towards their illustrious citizens i nothing more than a jesuitical trick of the pres byterian to seize this national means of taxing llie people of the united state for the purpose of serving the interests of their own particular jacct but there is another point of view in which this project carries the front of the basest impudence 4i it is in another light says this george washington bassou that this business seems to him chiefly objectionable mrs wash ington was a member of the protestant episco pal church as arc almost without exception the great mass of her surviving relatives and con nexions in the communion of that church she lived and died her mortal remains were depo sited by her own paiticulur request in the family burying ground of her soninlaw culoncl field ing lewis where ihey now rest by the bide ol her descendant relatives c under these circumstances il
