With grass Yet industry and art still reside
among US but, prescribed by all the nations
OF Europe, they find no protection IN their ma

Declaration Of independence

VXyE 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 OIL
taste can rest! for moment, with satistac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every Prov
sionit contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oil their 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 arr, and the fac-siniles of the seals and
signatur eshave 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 !" BaEons bold"
Surely the Declaration of American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as we'll entitled to the
decorations of art as the Magma Charta OF
England and If 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 ior 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 lndepen-
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 Il.
berry. Such an mbeilishededition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
IFS contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family--it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itseli-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 edf-
ton, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us al
the present day. Actuated by these views,
the subscriber proposes to publish

THE HORSE.

THE HORSE.
j. Carver, veterinary surgeon, has
written a letter 10 the editor of the Plough
Boy, wherein he states he had been appli-
ed TO by a gentleman to cut the Lamps
out Of his horses mouth. but that he had
declined on The ground that there was no
necessity for such al operation; and that
the disorder could be cured in the follow
ing simple manner :-s Rub the upper

find on these occasions red aud swollen,

Mr. Carver expresses some astonish-
meut that persons !" should fall into the
ridiculous and absurd belief, that horses
are subject to that imaginary disease cali
led Lamps. Because, examining the
palate or the roof Of the mouth would be
guile sufficient to convince a judicioas
investigator, that the supposed enlarge
ment cannot deprive the animal of his
food; since il is not 10 the least sore, or

animal from eating his food for some
weeks, but is frequently attended with the
most serious consequences by opening the
paIatiue artery, which has bled many a

tance."
MIR. Carver advises gentlemen never to
suffer the operation to be performed, but

to the mayor or superior officer (gorod-

a general resemblance or conformity into
