" Mr. McDuFFiE opposed the removal of the remains from Mount Vernon. But, said he, " As to a monument, rear it ; spend upon it what you will ; make it durable as the pyramids, eternal as the mountains; you shall have my co-operation. Erect, if yen please, a mausoleum to the memory of Washington in the Capitol, and let it be as splendid as art can make it. " The refusal of the proprietor of Mount Vernon to permit the removal of the remains was regarded bj' Mr. Clay as a new reason why the pendin...g resolution for erecting a statue of Washington at the Capitol should prevail. " An image, " — ^he said, "a testimonial of this great man, the Father of his Country, should exist in every part of the Union, as a memorial of his patriotism and of the services rendered his country; but of all places it was required in this Capital, the centre of the Union, the offspring, the creation of his mind and of his labors. " The pedestrian statue of Washington by Greenough, ordered in 1832, was placed in the rotundo in 1841, and afterwards removed to the east park.
