As perfect uniformity 10 the itting and
making the cloths viii add much TO the ap
pearance of the sluy!ents, Captain T. would
be glad 10 have this work all executeda tthe
Academy, where excellent workmen WILDE
provided, and where tits believed, it can be
done on as reasonable terms as at any other
place. Captain P. would also be highly graz
tilted 10 see all his pupis clothed in doaes-
tic manufactures. Bills of any OF the New
England banks, also of the banksof the city
|of New Y ork, OF Albany, Troy, and Lam
singburg, of the banks in the city OF Phila-
,leIphia, and of the United States bank, or
any of its branches, will he re eived in pay
nent Tor Academic expenses. Drafts on the
New England banks, on the banks of the
State of New York above mentioned, and 0
the United States bank or its branches in New
England or New York, will likewise be re-
ceived.
NOTE.-Editors of newspapers who shall
be pleased to insert the foregoing in their
respective papers, will confer an obligation
on Capt. p. and may perhaps at the same
time benefittthe public.

THE
Declaration of independence
demo

EX7E have noautbentic copy of this most
w important slate paper, the very basis
that supports tue proud column Of American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye o.
taste can rest, for moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARFA, though every proyl-
sion ii contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oltheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor.
| Sir William Blackstone has collaed and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
Charia has been excelIed by later specimens
of arr, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
| signatur fshaye made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state otknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but WITH
the literary attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Barons bold.
Surely the Declaration OF American indie
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
| decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
| England and it the fac-similes Of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
| tify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents Of Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the re!uc-
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 o; the
world the more they will be admired, by
| foreign nations as well as our own: and eve
ry innocent aud honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause CT public H.
berry. Such an embellishededition as will
renderit an ornament 10 an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
| It's contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. SUCH an edition will
serve 10 place il continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a iamiiy---it
will associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itself--and famiIiarize 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 viii 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
