A N unusual .ensiniIity has been excited
~ In the minds o our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
of independence recently published, ac-
compapled by FAC similes of the signatures
OF those illustrious patriots who framed The
document by which our independence WIS
announced to the world. We feel. while
we dwellon those signatures, as IL we were,
ushered into the immediate presence of
characters SO exalted, and we seem, Tor.
time TO participate in all the emotion which
they fell on the approach Of SO awful 4 cfi-
sis--hostiie armies. desolate fields, towns
and cities In confagration--carnage and
death in lis most frightlul forms appeared id
prophetic VISION on the one hand, and more
than all the complicated horrors, ignofniny
and slavery were presented for their &C.
ceptance on the other; they deliberated:
they paused, they trembled, anu at last So
lenfniy appealing TO the God of battles.
they resolved that the United States were
and ought 10 be free, sovereign and ipde-
pendent. These iilustriotis patriots. with
hive solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common nould-they survive only
in their country's glory and in the recoiIec.
ton OF grateful people. But it wouId,be
consoling, to ME present gene ration. ss,pa.
rated as they now are from those patriots.
by the Intervention of the tomb, to become
, more Intimately acquainted With tlieirte,
volutionary benefactors. Ne love to dwell
on 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, if suitable encourage
ment is given, 10 publish the lives of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
ple.ed. The work will be executed in
style not inferior 10 any European produce
tons, and tine portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography viii
be written by Paul Allen. esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fami--
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
fisher dares 10 promise is, that he will en-
deayor to deserve the confidence of his

part will be wanting to prevent an abuse
