A \ unusual sensibi!iy has been excited
N in the minds OF our c0untrymen by The
copper plate engraving Of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, &C
corplnied by iac Smiles Of the signatures
Of these illu;t:i0ijs patriots who framed the
document by which OUT independence was
announced 10 the world We feel, while
we dNuli on those signatures, rs il we were
ushered into the immediate presence Of
characters so exalted, aaad we seem for
fire 10 participate in all he emotion which
they tel on the approach of so AWFUL cri-
sis--ilostiic armies, deSolate fields, towns
and cities in Rllagraiion-carnage an
death in itsmosi frightIui forms apeared in
prophetic vision On the one hard. and more
tban all, tic complicated horrors. !gnoniny
and slavery were presented for heir &C
cc7tance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trem5!cd. and al last So
lcninly appealing 10 the God of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
md ought to be free, sovereign and indie
pendent These illu,tri6us patriots, with
i've solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould--they survive only
in Their coynty's glory and in The recaIlec-
ton OF a grateful people. But it would be
conSoling 10 the present generation, sepa-
rated as they not are from thoae patriots,
l.y the Intervention Of the tomb. to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
evolutionary benefsctOrs. We love to dwell
on the features of such mcn, snatched by
the pencil from the Oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent icatS Of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, ifsuitabc encourage
mcnt is given, 10 publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is com
plc.ed. Tie work will We executed in a
s,yis not inferior TO any European pfoduc-
tions, and the portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit The biography will
be written by Pnm .fHen esq. whose init
macy with tie several s;gners, whose lami-
liarity with The priyations and hardships
they had 10 undergo. and whose well known
talents will be sufficient TO ensure the pa
trouage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution OF this acrk, ali that the pub
Usher dares 20 promise is, that he will en-
Gaavor TO deserve The confidence of his
countr rnen, and that no exer.ion on his
part will be wanting 10 prevent an abuse
OF that confidence. He ventures to soliCi.
the assistance of those gentlemen in pos
session OF authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating The intelligence that will
serve 10 illustrate the characters and 10 en-
rich the biography OF those founders OF the
American Repubiic.-Ihose who are in
