The bill Tor the admission of Maine into
the Union, has at length passed the House of
Representatives, uifh the Restriction. The
subject, our readers are aware, is before a
committee Of Conference Of the two houses
in another shape. There is yet hope OF
its being ultimately adjusted, in such man
ner as thateach party will attain part of its
object, andas it's hoped will serve to tran
quilize the present ierment OF the public
mind. Nat Intel, Marcel 2.

consolation, Of which nothing on earth can
deprive us--that Of having done what We
could do 10 righteous cause: We shall
have saved our Own consciences from the
bloody stain: and five are called to shed
the droppings of sympathy over the un-
happy LOT Of the wretched Negro, they shall
flow pure, and uumiDgled with the tears OF
remorse.
II, however, as we confidently hope,
our exertions, aided by those Of our fellow
citizens, who are co-isborers with us 10
endeavors to promote the work OF charity
and mercy, shall be crowned with success,
they will afford to us hereafter subject Of
happy reflection, which shall speak peace

The Erigate CongYeSs.--We have been
favored with the perusal of letter from
40 officer Oh board the Congress, at An
gier Bay, Straits Of Sunda, and dated
September 20th, 1919, received by an ar
rival at Baltimore, from which We give the
following extract -
After very boisterous passage OF 81
days, we yesterday made these straits,andI
have put 10 here for the purpose Of water
iDg before proceeding to Canton. There
is small settlement here belonging to the
Dutch, composed Of Javanese, aud Dutch
governor. The soil 1.-THE Island Of Java
is extremely fertile and abounds with tro-
pical fruits Of every description. From
the deck you may behold cocoa outs,
oranges, lemons, pine apples. water melons,
pomegranates, and several species Of fruit
unknown 10 our climate. growing as spon
talIeousIy as the pine with you. Fowls
are here purchased at two rupees each, or
dollar for "a The iuhabitans very
much resemble our northern Indians, only
they are much uglier: their teeth are en-
tigely black from chewing The beetle nut;
and opium is nearly as valuable here as
diamonds with us. But the world, how
ever different IN appearance, customs and
religion, is still the same every where
Money is the idol Of their worship, and for
ii they sacrifice honor, and even life it
self.
The day after tomorrow we sail for Can
ton. with two ships under our convoy
Our officers ADD crew are in excellent
health. though at Batavia, which is about
60 miles from this place, it is extremely
unhealthy, and the ships laying there are
daily losing their men. The American
ship Tea Plant, ready to sail, has lost the
captain and every soul OF board by the
dysentery, which we learn is rsglng there
with ungovernable fury--among them was
Midshipman Tallmadge, Of The u S. ma
Wy, who came out, suppose, for improve
ment in his profession.

Mn. CHAIRMAN,
There is something solemn aud deeply
interesting in the present large and respec-

pronounce upon subject, most intimately
interviewer with the feelings Of every phi
lanthropic and benevolent heart; upon a
subject, which concerns not few individ-
uals, but large portion Of the human race:
which concerns not one generation only.
but whose effects may extend from children
to children's children to late posterity:
which concerns, permit me to say, not the
temporal welfare Of its victims alone, but
what is infinitely more important, their e
ternal interest Strange as 1t may seem,

W7E 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 Satlslac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHART though every proyI-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lshed edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid THAI its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
signatur s.haye made every reader Of taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state ofknow ledge
ard of art at The period in question, but with
the literary attainments, aise, OF King John,
King Henry, and their " Earons bold"
Surely the Declaration Of American hide
pendsnce is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and it the ac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tfy curiosity, at least as laudabIe as that
which calls for limitations of the correSpoR-
dents of Ju1ius or of the aristocraCy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tan monarohs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration OF Indepen-
dence are spread oHt 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, VIII serve,
also, to promote the great cause Of public IL
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the know ledge 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 il continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in family--it
will associate the pIeasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itselt-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 edi-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
