To the Public.

A n unusua! seDsibiIity has been excited
"A in the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, &C
companied by fac Smiles of the signatures
of those iliustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced Ia the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, rs if we were
ushered into the immediate presence Of
characters so exalted, and we seem f.. a
time to participate in al he emotifrp ,ich
trey felt On the tGpPrp ch Of so awful cri-
sis-Hostile armies, desolate felt, towns
and cities in conaagration-carrage and
death in its most frightlu forms appeared 10
prophetic vision on the one hand :, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
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 United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and indie
pendent. These illustrious patriots, with
FIVE solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common nou!d-they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
ton oil grateful people. But il would be
consoling to 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-
voutionary 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, if suitable encourage
ment is given. TO publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, uutii the whole is COM
pIeied. The work will be executed in a
style not inferior to any European r'oduc-
tions, and the portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by PAIL Allen, esq. whose init
macy with theseveral signers, whose fami-
liarity with The privations and hardships
they had TO undergo, and whose well known
talents will be sufficient TO ensure the pa
tronage of an enlightened people. In the
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher 6ares TO promise is, that he will en-
desvor TO deserve the confidence Of his
countrvmen, and that no exertion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures to solicit
the assistance of those gentlemen ia 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 Republic.-Those who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by a loan of the same.
A prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
