To the Public.

A n unusual sensiblity has been excited
"A in the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
Of independence recently published, ac-
companed 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 ii we were
ushered into the immediate presence of
characters so exalted, and we seem for a
time to participate in all the emotion which
they felt on the approach of so awful cri-
sis-HostiIe armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in ntlagration-carnage and
death in its most frightiul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on Me one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
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 we're
and ought to be free, sovereign aud inde-
pendent. These illustrious patriots, with
FIVE solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-tbey survive only
in their country's glory and in the recollec-.
ton OF grateful people. Bnt il would be
consoling 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. Glove 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, il suitable encourage
ment is given, to publish the lives OF those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
ple:ed. The work will be executed in
Style not inferior to any European produce
tons, and the portraits by masters OF &C.
knowIedged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose inti-
macy with the several signers, whose taml-
liarity with the privations and hardships
they had to undergo. and whose we'll 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 10 promise is, that he VIII en-
deavor to deserve the confidence OF his
countrvnen, and that no exertIon on his
part will be wanting 10 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 10 en-
rich the biography of those founders OF The
American Republic.-Tbose who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by a loan of the same.
A prospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
