a n unusual senslblits has been excited
"A in The minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
OF independence recently published. ac.
cempanied 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 Oh those signatures, az il we were
ushered into the immediate prese nee Of
characters so exalted, and we seem for
time 10 participate in all The emotion which
they felt on the approach Of SO awful cri-
sis-HOstile armies, desoate fields. towns
and cities in acknowledgements and
death in its most fiig6tluI forms APPEARED IN
prophetic vision on the one hand, and moro
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their 40.
ceptance on the other; they deliberated.
they paused, they trembled, aud at last so.
emnly appealing to the God of battles.
they resolved that The United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and indie.
pendent. These iIlsstrious patriots. with
fve solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould--they survive Srlv
in their country's glory and in the recolIec.
ton OF grateful people. But it would be
conSoiing To the present generation, seps.
rated as they now arc from those patriots.
by the Intervention Of the tomb, 10 become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
volutlmary benefactors. We love to dwell
on the features of such men, snatctred Inv
the pencil from the oblivion of the grave.
and emulate the prominent feats of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas. the
subscriber proposes, If suitable encourage.
ment is given, TO publish the lives of those
patriots III numh>rs, uplil the whole is COM
style not inferior to any European produce
tons, and the portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whore init
macy with the several signers, whose fanii-
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 exeriion 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 viii
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.
Aprospectus with the terms will be given
in few days.
