THE
Declaration of independence

WYE have no authentic copy of this most
w important state paper, the very oasis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can REST, for a moment, with satisfac-
| ton. Why have we not
! The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHARrA, 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 collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-silniles of the seals and
signatur eshave made every reader ot taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state OF knowledge
and of art at the period in question, but WIN
the literary attainments, also, OF King Johh'
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 Cbarta OF
England and il the fac-similes 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 Junius or of the aristocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarohs OF the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
| the principles OF our Declaration OF lndepen-
dence are srfaadout 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 u.
berry. Such an bellishededition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the kn ,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 family---it
will 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 edr-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

the Missouri bill. tending TO show thai
