"A N unusual sensibility has been excited
IN in the minds of our countrymeD by the
copper plate engraving Of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, ac-
companied by fac SMILES of the signatures
Of those illdsfriots patriots who framed The
document by which'our independence was
announced TO the world. We feel, while
we dwell on thase signatures, as If we were,
ushered into the immediate presence of
characters so exalted, and we seem for
time to participate in alithe emotion which
they felt on the approach Of so awful eri-
sis-Hostile armies, desoIate fields, towns
and cities in conhagfation and
death in its most fightiul forms appeared in;
prophetic vision on the one hand; and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery we're presented for their ac-
ceptaiice on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled, and at last So
lemnly appealing 10 the God Of battles,
they resolved that the United States were,
and ought to be free, sovereign and inde-
pendent. These illustrioiis patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now m ngled
with the common mould--tbey survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
ton OF grateful people. But it would be
consoling 10 the present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the Intervention Of the tomb, to become
more Intimately acquainted with their re-.
evolutionary benefactors. We love to dwell
on the features Of such men, snatched by
the pencil from the Oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent feats Of their
biography Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, il suitable encourage
ment is given, TO publish the lives of those
patriots in Numbers, until the whole is COM
ple.ed. The work will he executed in
style not inferior to any European produce
tiofs, and the portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami-
liarity with the privations and hardships
tbsy had to undergo, and whose well known
talents viii be sufficient 10 ensure the pa
tronage OF ain enlightened people, In the.
executisn Of this work, sll that the pub
Usher 6ares TO promise is, that he will en-
desyor to deserve the confidence of his
courtrymeh, and that no exer,ion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
Of that confidence. He vehSres TO solicit
the assistance OF those gen. linen in pos
session Of authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve to illustrate the characters and TO en-
rich the biography of those founders OF the
American Republis.--Those who are in
