months during which time nearly all the

The following is the idea | have Of it.

THE
Declaration of Independence

WYE have no authentic copy Of this most
wv important statepaper, the very basis
that supports the proud column Of American
liberty none, atleast, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not
| The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARrA, though every proyi-
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
| Charta has been exceled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-simiies of the seals and
signatu- ishave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
| the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their Z" BaEons bold. .
| Surely the Declaration of American ade-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England /; and if the fac-similes OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed II were
Published in America, it would serve to gra-
| tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or Of the aristocracy that
wrested the Ensl isb Charter from the reiuc-
tant monarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as we'll as our own and eve
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause of public Ii
berry. Such an embellished AS will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge of
IFS contents, among those who,wou'd other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve to place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in falnily-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itsel-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

SAVANNAH, GEO. APRIL IL

At the last term Of Walton Superior
Court, in this State, man by the name
of John Wright was tried for selling, as
a slave, female child about two years
old, that had been placed in his hands by
its mother, for nurture. 1t appeared in
evidence, that the child had very dark
hair and complexion, and was imposed
upon the purchaser as mulatto Or
Indian; for it was represented to him by
the seller, that it had been obtained in
the Indian Nation. As no other crime
in the penal code applied to the case,
Wright was indicted for false imprison-
ment, was convicted, and received the
highest punishment known to this last
offence. The bill of sale from Wright
to the purchaser was introduced in evil
dence, by which he had doomed to per-
petual servitude ar individual born as
free as himself.
