"A unusual SensSolllty mas 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 illustrious 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 go exalted, and we seem for
time 20 participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach of SO awful cri.
sis--Hostile armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in nhagration--carnage aad
| death in its most frightlul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, igno miny
and slavery were presented for their ac-
ceptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled, and at last 50.
lemnly appealing 10 the God of battles.
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and indie.
pendent. These illHstrious patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-
ton OF grateful people. But il would be
consoling to the present generation, sepa.
rated as they now are from thote patriots
by the Intervention q the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
volutionary 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, ifsuitable encourage
ment is given, to publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
pleted. The work will be executed in
style not inferior to any European produce
tons, and the portraits by masters of &C.
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose inf
macy with the several signers, whose FAM
liarity with the privations and hardsbips
they had to undergo, and whose well known
talents will be sufficient 10 ensure the pa.
tronage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution Of, this work, all that the pub
Usher dares 10 promise is, that he will en-
deavor 20 deserve the confidence of bis
countrymen, 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 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.-Those who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan of the same.
A prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
