Plan and Terms Of Subscription.

When the Publisher submitted the pre-
.ad;no notice of his intention to under
take this national publication, although 1t
bad 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 lndepen-
,lcpce. as deposited in the Secretary OF
States Office, was happily preserved
when so many valuable papers were con-
s1med by the enemy. Without dwelling
u,on SLIGHT differences, inaccuracies, or
EMISSIONS, 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:

3al the Declaration is thus headed -

this subject, or ought Interpolation or al
