THE
Declaration Of independence.

III
ANYE have no authenticeopy Of this most
Wv important state paper, the very basis
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can resi-, fora moment, with satistac-
ton. Why nave we mol
Tue English uatiou, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every proyi-
sion it contains has been tranpled 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 exceled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes OF the seals and
s,gnatu shave 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 attainnents, also, of King John,
| King Henry, and their Barons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations Of art as the Magma Charta of
England F.; and if the fac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed II were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as audabIe as that
which calls for limitations OF the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the aris.ocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reiuc-
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 we'll 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 H.
berty Such an embellishededltiona as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, viii
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 ii continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a tamiy-it
will associate the pIeasurabe ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction tsei-and famiIiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpoitical society,"
Nor is it of small moment that such an eth-
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

Dear Sir have for tome time past been
threatening to write TO you, to let you know
how well am pleased with the Ruthven
Press, improved and made by you ; but a
variety of circumstances have prevented it..
have had it in constant operation three
months during winch time nearly all the
printers of this city, and number of our
most ingenious mechanics, have called TO ex-
anime it. They have pronounced it as COM
plete in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea have of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct
ed, on which more or better work can be
done in given time.
The exertionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for a boy of 5years Of age,
Il have boy of that age to work on mine. }
1t is well made, the G.ferent parts admra-
bly, proporlioned, and not more liable than
other presses to get out of repair.

Fslow- Soldiers: =
Connected for many years past in the per-
formance Of military duty With many Of you, and
now by the SURFACES ofmy fellow-citizens ASSOCIATE
ed with you all, IT is peculiarly proper that |
should address you on this present occasion. Our
Constitution has been framed aud adopted with
uncommon unanimity invidicus and improper
exemptions are no longer tolerated, which viii
no doubt animate ysu with new zeal IN the dis
charge Of your duty az citizen soldiers.
Having an extensive and exposed sca-ceast,
and a territory bordering to the north and the
east upon the possessions ofa foreign power, with
whom, trust, we shall on our part ever Guilt
yate friendly relations, but with whom we have
more than once been in state Of hostility, you
cannot be too strongly impressed with the impor-
lance Of the services which you may be called up
on to render to your country. While we rely
with confidence upon the government OF the u
nitsd States for general protection and defence,
the Militia must ever be considered as constitut-
ing our main pillar Of security on all sudden EN-.
ergencies as standing ARMIES are equally OPP
posed 10 the genius Of our government, and the
feelings, aud interest of the people.
Relying on your good con1sct, spirit aud disci-
pline, Hatter myself that yon will not permit
yourselves to suffer in comparison with the troops
Of any part Of our country. ifequsst you. fellow.
