THE
Declaration of Independence

N7Ehave no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports TIE proud column of American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every prov-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition Of their rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than 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-smiles of the sea S and
signatu fshave 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 attainments, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their +" BaEons bold. ;"
Surely the Declaration of American hide
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
Englan and il the fac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-

which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or Of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant moDarchs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles of our Declaration Of lndepen-
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 Ii
berry. Such an mbellishededtion 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 farnily-it
viii associate the pleasurable ideas of ele
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itselt--and familiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpolitical society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an edit
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

IA document was laid before the House on
Saturday last just before the adjournment,
which was not noticed in our statement OF
the proceedings it was report of the Sc
cretary of the Treasury transmitting abb
stracis of receipts and expenditures of the
General Post Office, from lst January, 1914,
to 3lst March, 1918, in obedience to reso.
luton of the 2eth ult. which report was or.
desed 10 lie on the table and be printed.
Mr.. Newton, from the committee on
commerce. reported bill to impose a
new tonnage on French ships and YES
sells; and
Mr.. Newton from the same commit
tee, reported also bill concerning ma
vigation, and to repeal the act of April
Is, 1918, concerning navigation; which
bills we're seyerally twice read and com.
mitted.
On motion of Mr.. Pindail, it was
Resolvsd, That the letter from the Secre-
tary of State of the 9TH Feb. 1890, transmit
ting list Of the newspapers in which the
laws of the United States are published, and
an estimate of the expence of such pubica-
ton, be referred 10 select com mittee, and
that the same committee enquire into The
expedency of repeating or amending the
acts requiring the publication of the laws in
in the newspapers.
This motion of Mr.. ?. was grounded
on the belief that the expenses of pro
mitigating the acts Of Congress in news
papers had increased to an unreasona-
bic and improper extent. and that the
laws on the subject required repeal or
modification, SO as to reduce this ex-
pense.
The resolution was referred to q
committee of three members,
On motion of Mr.. Walker, of N. C..
it was
Resolved, That the committee on the pub
lie lands be instructed to enquire into, the
expedency OF limiting the quantity OF pub
lie land hereafter to be exposed 10 sale at

pediency of establishing a post route

RINGS examined. Il is expected, however,
that they will hereafter be on the alert land
very important discoveries may be made.
If Chandler has actually found the precious
metal as represented and we can see no
re ason to doubt it; but the probability is,
that the country abounds with il. A few
years ago, the man who would have under
taken to bore for salt water in this neighbor-
hood, would have been considered insane !;
but now almost every farmer can find it; a
few years hence, slverore may be found in
as great abundance as that OF iron.
Sine silver mines have become the topic
Of the day, we have heard the following
fact related by a gentleman of veracity,
which goes to establish the idea that there is
silver ore in Fayette county /" About four
teen years since, a boy living in Union Town
discovered somewhere on the Laurel Hill,
within or miles of Union, large guam :
tity of ore from its peculiar appearance,
he formed the determination OF having 1t
tested and took small piece zine size OF
hckory-nut) to an ingenious blacksmith for
that purpose, who extracted from it to the
value of 81 cents of pure silver. He then
proposed to the blacksmith, that the thing
should be kept secret, and that fhe would
purchase the land on which it had been found
be should receive one half the products
which was agreed to-and they set out to-
gether to give the place thorough examina-
ton. On their way, the boy was seized with
violent heada che and fever, which compell-
ed them to return he took his bed immedi-
ately, became delerious, and died in few
days, This casualty prevented the black
smith, who had not been particularly inform
ed, from ascertaining the spot where the va
liable discovery had been made.
