A Devo,ec to the shrine oi the Semel-

after high campaign, took his rout
through wood. He had scarcely en-
tered it when he saw an object, which,
as he fancied, had the appearance of a
man. As he approached it he was bet
ter satisfied. lmpudcnce and audscity,
the concomitants OF ineoria,ion, were by
no meaos qniescent in our bacchanalian.
The sense of his own superiority to a
fellow worm was such as total, super
seded the.propriety. much more the ex
pedicncy, of his going oat ofthe path for
the other. He paused, and demanded
the road. His words were dl,regmded.
He repeated them under .he comnlina-
tion OF blow. Still the object of his
insult stood firm in the middle of the
path, and did MOI design to answer a
word. G,t out of the wa, in a moment,
said The bacchas,lim. or | will strike you

length obliged to beg Tor fieedom; but
his beggiag was IN VAN. he then
swore that, if the fellow did not LEI him
GO directly, he would stai, lum. Ac-
CO.. o'dimgk, he took knife from his pock-

THE
Declaration of Independence.

XNTE 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 satlStac-
ton. Why have we not ?
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every provl-
sionit contains has been tramped 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 collated and
commented on this fine copy of Magma
Charta has been excefled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-smiles of the seals and
sgnatur tshave 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 atlamments, also, OF KIng John,
King Henry, and their " Barons bold"
| Surely the Declaration of American indie
| pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
| England; and ii the tac-simileS of the sig
natores of the patriots who signed it were
| published in America, it would serve to gra-
! tifya curiosity, at least as iaudabte as that
| which callst0r limitations OF the correspOn-
dents of Junius or of the aris!oCncy 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 0; the
world, the more they will be admired, by
| foreign nations as weilas 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 il.
berry. Such an embeiished 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 to place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in tamiIy-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itsell--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 edi-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state OF the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actusted by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish
