MAGMA CHAR IA, though every provl-
sion it 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 coliated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-siniles of the seals and
signatur s.havc 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 attainnents, also, of King John,
King Henry, and their " RaEons 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 10 America, it would serve to gra-
,ify a curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
| dents Of Junius or of the arisocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
,ant 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

ry innocent and honest device that may serve

have tendency to spread the KIN ,wledge 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 faunily--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itsell-and lamiliarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the

death Of this large Indian and his four bro
theirs, who were all inthe party, was more
deeply lamsuted by the tribe, as was al
forwards learned, than all the other losses
sustained during the hostilities carried on
between them and us. There was uni
versal, solemn, and distressing mourning.
Adam Poe recovered from his wounds,
and gave this account in person to James
Morrison, Esq. from whom we have re.

that it is correct. The courage and en-
terprise, the sufferings and lortitude' the
decision and perseverance OF The early set

bors We are now SO peaceful and happy,
ought not to be forgotten, but may well be
related from time to time to excite in us

The committee on pensions, to whom
was referred the resolution of the Senate
of December 20, 1919, instructing the

diency of reviying the act of 1906, enti
tied Sc an act to provide for persons who
were disabled by known wounds received
in the revolutionary war" which expired
at the close of the last session of Congress,
report: That they have examined the
subject embraced 10 the said resolution
and finding that persons placed on the
pension list in pursuance Of the act Of
1906, may continue to receive their pen
sions as heretofore, by complying with
the provisions of the act, entitled 6 An aci
regulating the payments Of invalid pen
sioners," approved Sd March, 1910, and
believing that most, if not all, the cases
would come within the act OF 1906, If re-
vived, may be relieved under the more
liberal provisions of the act of 18th March,
1918, the committee are therefore Of opin.
