Plan and Terms Of Subscription,

When the Publisher submitted the pre-
|cedino notice of his intention to under
take this national publication, although it
had long occupied his reflections. he was
not fully aware of its Importance, tor he
had never suspected what the tact really
is that there is no where extant an au-
|thentic published copy OF the most impor-
tant State Paper in the annals OF the
world.
The Original Declaration of lndepen-
Idence. as deposited in the Secretary OF
states office. was happily preserved
when so many valuable papers were con-
sumed by the enemy. Without dwelling
upon slight differences, inaccuracies, o.
omissions. the first words which present
themselves in our printed copies, and
even as they are of record on the Journals
of the Old Congress, are as follow:
{" A Declaration by the Representatives
of the United States of America ID COP
rress assembled. "-whereas liz the orIgi
nal the Declaration is thus headed -
"The Unanimous Declaration of the
Thirteen United States of America"
This is not mere verbal distinction /;
it involves a difference in principle. Does
lit become Americans TO be careless on
this subject, or ought interpolation or al
teration of any kind to be permitted in a
public document so sacred Ought it not
to be faithfully preserved and transmit
ted to posterity word for word, letter for
letter, and point for point ? The Anne
rican public will unhesitatingig answer
Yes aud he publisher stands pledged
10 have 1T so engraved, and to acconpa-
ny it with tie requisite proofs OF anthem.
ticity.
The size of the Paper will be So inches
az "a. IT will be manufactured by Mr..
imies, in his best manner and of the very
best materials.
The Design, which is from the pencil
Of Mr. bridport, will be executed in inn
tation of bas Relief; and will encircle
2he Declaration as a Gordon of honor, sur
mounted by the Arms of the United
states. Immediately underneath the
arms will be a large medallion portrait Of
