conpanied by fac simjies of the signatures
OF those ilustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell on th0s- signatures, as if we were
uslered into the immediate prese nee Of

than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their ac.
ceptance on the other; they deliborated.
they paused, they trembIed, and at last go:
iemnly appealing 10 the God of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and indc-
pendent. These illustriods patriots, with
hive solitary exceptions, have now mingled

ton OF grateful people. But it would be
