To the Public.

A y nnusua' sensibility has been excited
I u in the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaraiiod
OF Independence recently published, &C,
comPanIed by fac SMILES OF the sisnatures
OF those Iilustrous patriots who framed The
document by which our independence was
announced TO the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those signatures, as il we were
ushered into the immediate prese nee OF
characters so exalted. and we seem for
time to participate in all the emotion which
they telt OH The approach Of so awful cri
s's-flosllle armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in nilagration-carnage and
death in lis most fright!ui forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand. and NOR,
than all, the complicated horrors, ianominy
and slavery were presented for their ac-
ceptance on the other; they deliberated
they paused. they tremhled, and AT las, so.
lemnly appealing 10 the God of battles.
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be free. sovereign and indie.
pendent These illustrious patriots, with
hre solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-they survive only
IN their country's glory and in the recolec.
tilon OF grateful people. BIT it would be
consollng to the present generation, scpa.
rated as they now are from those patriots.
by the Intervention 81 the tomb, 10 become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
evolutionary benefactors. We love to dwell,
Oh the features of such men, snatcbed by
the pencil from the Oblivion of the grave.
and emulate the prominent feats of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, ifsuiiable encourage
ment is given, to publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, ptil the whole is com.
ple:ed. The work Will be executed in a
style not inferior TO any European produc-
tons, and tine portraits by masters of &C.
knowledged merit The biography will
be written by Paul .llca, esq. whose init:
macy with The several signers, whose fam.
liarlty 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-
deayof 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 to solicit
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 to en-
rich the biography Of those founders OF the
American Reprbfic.--Those who are ia
! possession OF their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by loan Of The same.
