A \ unusual sensiblity has been excited
L. a IN the minds OF our c"untymenby the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
OF Independence recently published, &C
companied by FAC Smiles of the signatures
OF these illGstricus patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as if we were
ushered into the immediate presence of
characters SO exalted, and we seem Tor a
time to participate in all the emotion which
they ttelt on the approach Of so awful cri-
sis-Hostlle armies, desolate fields. towns
and cities IN nhagraticn-carnage and
death in lis most frightlul forr,s apeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand. and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignolniny
and slavery were presented for their ac.
ceptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled. and at last So
lemnly 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 mould-they survive only
IN their country's glory and in the recoIec-
! ton OF grateful people. But it would be
/ consollng 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-
evolutionary benefactors. We love to dwell
OH 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
cnhccrihnr
ment is given, to publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
pleted. The work Will he executed in a
style not inferior TO any European produc-
tions, and the portsits by masters of &C.
know edged 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
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 dares to promise is, that he will en-.
deavOr to deserve the confidence of his
countrymen, and that no exertion on his
part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures 10 solicit
the assistance OF those gentlemen 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 Republic. who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
