most important State Paper. the very ba-
sis that suDparts the proud column OF A.
merican Liberty none. at least, Oh which
the eve of taste can rest. for moment,
with satisfaction. Why hare zoe not
The English nation, still proud OF
their Magma Chartar, though every pro-
vision Il contains has been trampied upon
by the bold ambition of their rulers, have
'published edition after edition OF this IN
strument. each more splendid than ITS
nredecesSor. Sir William Blackstone
has collated and commented on this
6ae copy Of Magma Chartar has been ex-
celled by latter specimens oil art, and the
OF the scales and signatures
have made every reader OF taste IN Great
Britain acquainted. in some degree, not
merely with the state Of knowledge and.
of art at the period in question, but with
she literary attainmenfs, also, OF hlnsI

Surely the DecIaystior Of American
Independence is, at least, as we'll enu-
tx, to the decorations Of art as the May
ma Cha.ta of England and if the fac-sl-
miles OF tie signatures Of the patriots who,
signed it we've published in America, 1t

as Iaudabe as thaS which calls sor imlta
tions of the correspondents Of Junias. OF

slish Charter from the reluctant monarcilj
Of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles CT our Declaration OF indie

OF the world, the more they will be ad-
mired. d, foreign nations as veil as ouI

vice that may serve TO attract attenftoli

otherwise have turned their thoughts but
lightly towards the subject. Such an
