Whea The Publisher submitted the pre-
ceding notice of his intention to under.
take this national publication, although il
had long occupied his reflections. he was
not fully aware OF its Importance, for he
had never suspected what the tact really
is, that there is no where extant an au,
thentic published copy ofthe most imPor.
tant State Paper in the annals OF the
world.
The Original Declaration of Indepen-
dence, as deposited in the Secretary OF
States office, was happily preserved
when so many valuable papers were con
sulned by the enemy. Without dwelling
upon slight differences, inaccuracies, Or
omissions, the first words which present
themselves in our printed copies, and
even as they are ofrecord on the Journal,
of the Old Congress, are as follow:
A Declaration by the Representatives
Of the United States of America III Con
oress assembled, whereas in the oriSl-
nal the Declaration is thus headed -
6 The Unanimous Declaration OF the
Thirteen United States OF America"
This is not mere verbal distinction:
it involves adherence in principle. Does
it become Americans to be careless 0,
this subject, or ought Interpolation or a.
teration OF any kind to be permitted in a
public document so sacred? Ought it noC
to be faithfully preserved aud transmit

We have no authentic copy of this
