An occurrence took place yesterday,
which has produced strong sensation in our
civ which will, we are confident, produce
no less in the nation. and which 1t would be
mere affectation to refrain from noticing.
A duel was fought yesterday morning with
p,s!ols, in Maryland, just beyond the Dis
,rci line, between com. DECATUR and com.
BlaaoN, of the navy of the U. States. On
The FIRST fire both were wounded, the former
dangerously, the latter badly.

THE
Declaration of independence.
demo

WV Z have no authentic copy OF tins most
w important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column Of American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye Oh
taste can rest, for a moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provi-
siouit contains has been tramped upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
ished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this hne copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
signatUr 3shave made every reader OF taste
ih 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 indie
pendence is, al least, as well 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 it were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls for limitations OF the correSpon-
dents Of Ju1ius or of the aristocracy that
wrested The English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs 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 embellished edition as will
render it 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
towardsthe subject. Such an edition will
serve to place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itseIf-and familiarize 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 edf
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
