slave was sick, confined 10 her bed, and unable

ncr; then got a rope, one end Of which he tied
ronnd her neck. and the other rornd the neck Of
his horse. and dragged her about the street. till
she was apparently dead. He then built fire
upon her and LEFT her. The only witnesses of
this disbolical act were two poor old women, who
could do nothing in defence Of the victim. The
murderer was spprehsnded next morning, and
bound over to make his appearance al our ne1t

THE
Declaration Of Independence.

AWE 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 "a moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARrA, though every Prov
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oitheir rulers, have pub
lisheu edition after edition OF this instrument,
each more splendid than It's 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
slgnatur fshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, IN some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
aud of art at the period in question, but win
the literary attainments, also. of King John,
King Henry, and their " 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 it the fac SMILES OF the sig
natures Of the patriots who signed 1T were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, al least as laudable as that
which calls tor limitations OF the correSpon-
dents of Ju1ius or Of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc
ant monaFchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration of lndepen-
lence are spread out before the eyes Of the
world the more they will be admired, by
ioreign nations as well as our own and eve
~ innocent and honest device that may serve
10 attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause OF public H.
oerty. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
nave tendency to spread the knowledge OF
lis 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

viii associate the pleasurable ideas of eie-
rance and ornament with the history of the

principles which form, or ought to form, the
