N7E have no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, The very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty /; none, at least, On which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satlsiac-
ton. Why have we not !
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every proyyl-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition their rulers, have pub
lshed 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 exceIled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes of the seals and
signatures have 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 +" Baron6 bold"
Surely the Declaration of American hide
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta of
England and if the fac SMILES of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it 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 aris,ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
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 well 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 IL
berty. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would 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 family-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of eIe-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itseli-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 edi-
ton, well executed, will serve as a specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
A SPLENDID EDITION

100 Dollars Reward.

II WILL give the above reward to any
Il person who will return to my posses
sion, negro LAWRENCE, who assumes the
sirname of FENWICK. This fellow left
my farm, on the Wicomico river, in Charles
county, Md on the 9Th July, in consequence
of his own outrageous conduct towards my
overseer. He is negro of fire erect T.
CURE, good features, asmooth black skin,
rather above the middle stature, of a youth
full appearance for one OF thirty years Of
age, and of great plausibility and natural
smartness. His ears grow remarkably close
to his head, and on the inside of his lower
lip he has a white mark or spot. | purcha-
sed him years ago of the estate of Mrs.
P H. Courts, of this county. | am led (by
circumstances which have come 10 my know
ledge since he absconded,) to believe that
he will endeavor to make his way to King
George county, Va. should he not take
this route, he will probably be met with in
the District of Columbia, or in the upper
counties of this state, on his way to Penn
sylvania. | apprehend he will change his
name, and if committed to jail, refuse to
state to whom he belongs, as the misconduct
which preceded his departure, & his alb
sconding, have all appeared since to have
DeeD pFeue lltdleu. he tuoh dill MS ClolDeS
with him, of which he had large number
among them-a new bearskin over-coat,
long close bodied blue coat, pair of stri-
ped Jean pantaloons, one or more white
waistcoats, besides many articles Of coarse
cloathing these. however, he will probably
exchange. or sell them for cash 10 defray
his travelling expenses.
will give the above reward to any per
son who will bring him home to me, or
FIFTY DOLLARS if confined in jail, and
notice given me, so that | recover him
Should he be taken out Of the state, will
also pay all reasonable costs and charges
which may attend the bringing him home.
