Declaration of Independence.

gX7E 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 satisfac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provi-
siont 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 &c. collated and
commented on this fiji. Copy of Magma
Charta has been cxcelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-smiles of the seals and
signatur sshave made every reader OF taste
| liz 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 6 Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta Of
England and il 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 tor limitations OF the correspon-
dents of Junius or Of the arstocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc
lant monarchs of the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration of Indepen-
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
berry Such an mbellishededition 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 10 place it continually under the eye
of man. woman, and child in a family--it
will associate the pleasurabIe 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
