COBBETTS CASE.

PHIIADELPHIA, February 27.-The House
of Representatives of Pennsylvania were en-
gagged the whole of the morning of last Tues
day on resolution offered by MIR. Kelly to
dismiss the petition of William Cobbett.-
Messrs. Stewart, Leib, and L. Wilson, spoke
at considerable length against and Messrs
Kelly, Douglass and G. EI ans, spoke in favor
of the resolution.
ii was coHtended on the one hand that the
petition was indecOrous and libellous against
the character of the late Governor M'Kean
and therefore that it ought to be dismissed
That it he would present respectful petition,
such as had been presented to the Senate thew
would have no objection to have it referred
and let his case come before the House. On
the other side, il was cOntended that the peti-
ton ought not TO be dismissed. That although
it contained indecorous language towards the
late Governor M'kean, yet il was not insulting
TO the House. That his claim involved "A very
important principle, no less than the liberty
of the Press, and they wished to ascertain
whether the Court OF the Judge, or even
Justice of the Peace, have the power to bind
over a printer, for what they may conceive to
be libel, although il is not libel The Yeas
and Nays being called. were, Yeas IS, Nays 49,
Accordingly the Resolution was carried, aud
William Cobbett's petition dismissed.

To the Public.

A Y unusual sensioility has been excited
IN in the. minds OF our countTymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
OF Independence recently published, ac-
companied by fac Smiles of the signatures
OF those illustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as ii wewere
ushered into the immediate presence Of
characters so exalted. and we seem for a
time to participate in all the emotion which
they fell on the approach Of so awful cri-
sis-Hostile armies, desolaie fields, towns
and cities in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
death in its most frigbtiul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, igrominy
and slavery were presented for their &C
ceptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled. and at last So
lemnIy appealing to the God of battles,
they resolved that the Umted States were
and ought 10 be free, sovereign and indie
pendent. These illustrious PATROLS, with
FIVE solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common rnould-ihey survive only
in their counlry's glory and in the rccoIlec-
ton OF grateful people. But il would be
coDsoling To the present generation, scpa-
rated as they now are from thoee patriots,
Ivy the Intervention Of the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-:
evolutionary benefactors. We love 10 dwell
on the features of such men, snaiehed 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 10 any European pfoduc-
tions, aud the portraits by masters oil &C.
kpowledeed merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose tamI-
Iiarily with the priyations and hardshlps
they had 10 undergo, and whose well known
talents will be sufficient 10 ensure the pa
tronage CT an enlightened people. In the
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher darcs to promise is, that he will en-
desvor 10 deserve the confidence Of his
countrymen, and that no exertion on his
part will be wanting 10 prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance of those gentlemen in pos
session oil authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that will
serve 10 illustrate the characters and TO en-
rich the biography of those founders OF the
American Republic.--Those who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
The obligation by loan Of the same.
