Plan and Terms Of Subscription.


When the PubliShe submitted the pre-
feeling notice of his intention to undef
take this national publication. although Il
had long occupied his reflections. he wa;
not fully aware of its Importance, for he
had never suspected what the tact really
is. that there is no where extant an an
|thentic published copy ofthe most lmPor
tant State Paper in the annals OF The
world.
The Original Declaration Of fndepen
Idence, as deposited in tue Secretary OF
States oiice. was happily preserved
when so many valuable papers were con
sumed by the enemy. without dwelling
anon slight differences, inaccuracies, OF
y!aissions. the first words which present
themselves in our printed copies, and
zen as they are Of record on the Journals
ii the Old Congress, are as follow;
a Declaration by the Representatives
the United States OF America in Con-
.reSs assembled, "-whereas liz the origi-
al the Declaration is thus headed =
1.-The Unanimous Declaration Of the
,'I6rtean United States Of America"
This is not mere verbal distinction
ir involves difference in principle. Does
Il become Americans to be careless on
MS subject, or oaght Interpolation or al
GRAFTON Of any kind to be permitted in a
public document so sacred ? Ought it not
70 be faithfully preserved aud transmit
ted to posterity word for wore, letter for
.etter, and point for point ? The Ame-
ican public will unhesitatingly answer
Yes and the publisher stands pledged
TO have it SO engraved, and to accompa-
ny it with the requisite proofs OF authen.

most important State Paper, the very ba-
is that supports the proud column Of i. a A. !,
nerican Liberty none, at least, on when
she eve of taste eau rest, for moment
sy;tS satisfaction. Why hare zoe not
The English nation, still proud oil
their Magma Chartar, though every pro,
gision it contains has been trampied upon
|oy the bold ambition of their rulers, have
,nhlisbed edition after edition OF this IN
strnment each more splendid than its
predecessor. Sir William Blackstone
las colated and commented on this
;ne COPY of Magma Chartar has been ex-
elIed by latter specimens of art, and the
,c-s;m;les of the scales and signatures
ave made every reader of taste in Great
Britain acquainted, in some degree, NOT
! merely with the state of knowledge ana
# art at the period in question, but with
sthe literary attainments, also, OF hlhe
John, King Henry, and their " bafons
loold,"
| Surely the Declaration OF American
independence is, at least, as well emu
tiled to the decorations of art as the Mag
Ina Chartar of England ard # the fac-sl'
jmiles of the signatures of the patriots who
ssisned it were published in America, Il
would serve to CRAFTY a curiosity, at leas'
las laudabIe as that which calls Tor Imlta
Itions of the correspondents of Junlus. OF
Iof the alistocracy that wrested the En-
Irish Charter from the reluctant monarch
Iof the day.
! We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration OF inde
Ioendence are spread out before the eye
lot the world, the more they will be aa
nired, by foreign nations as we'll as ou'
lown: and every innocent and honest de
ice that may serve TO attract attention
| oward them. will serve, also, to promote
he great cause of public liberty. Snci
an embel!ished edition as will render
IN ornament to an apartment, will have
tendency to spread the knowledge 0

,therwise have turned their thoughts Dn
lightly towards the subject. Such an e
'it,cn will serve to place 1t continual,
i,ader the eye of man, woman, and chile

Ifamiliarize those principles which torn
IT ought to form, the very bond and ce

small moment that such an edition, vel
executed, will serve as specimen OF tho
istate of the fine arts amongst us at the pre-
