The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CIIARTA,. though every proV.l-
sion it contains has been trampled upon'bjy
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
Iished edition after edition of this instrument,

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 ii the fac-slmiles of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were

which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the arisocracy that
wrested the nslish Charter from the reluC-
