THE
Declaration of independence

SX7E have no authentic copy, 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 rest, for a moment, with satislac-
ton. Why have we not?
The English nation, Nstill proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR Ia, though every proyI-
sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition ofther 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 copT OF Magma
Charta has been excelled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-simies of the seals and
sgnatur sshaye 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 6 Barons bold
Surely the Declaration Of American indie
pendence is, at 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 .Junius 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 Ind zen
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.

towards the subject Such an edition will

The report of the committe OH pensions
unfayorable to the petition Of Margaret Clark
was taken up and agreed to.
Several bills, among the orders OF this day,
were taken up and postponed to future
DAYS; one ofthese was the bill for changing
the mode of selling the public lands, which
was postponed to Wednesday.
The bill further to suspend the sale of for
fixture of lands for not completing the pay
ment thereon, being taken up, motion was
made to postpone it to Wednesday also.
The motion was opposed by Mr.. Noble,
who stated that the bill contained no new
principles that II it passed at all, ii wasn ne
cessary to be passed without delay, that
timely notice might be communicated to the
various land Offices that as it bad no connec-
ton with the other land bill. just postponed,
and emb' aced no principle that had not been
familiar TO tie Senate for years, and about
which there was 10 difference Of opinion !;
be hoped it would be acted on at once.
Mr.. King, of Newly DIRK, was willing to
accommodate gentlemen, where no public
detriment would arise from his acquiescence;
but the bill now before the Senate had con-
nection with the bill just postponed. II that
bill passed, he would have no objectionwhat-
ever to the present one he would be among
tht first to give an equitable indulgence to
hose indebted Tor lands but should the other
measure fail, he was by no means prepared
to say that the bill now before them ought to
pass.
The bill was postponed TO Wednesday.

made an unfavorabe report on the petition
of William G.. Kanser, which was read.
