SOUTH AMERlcA.
We are indebted to an estimable TREND
forsome curious details from private source
respecting the late revolution at buenos
Ayres. We have also received buenos
Avres,G p zettes, down TO the 18th March, and
various hand-bills containing proclamat'ons,
addresses. &c. arising out of that event
we offer below part of the manuscript IN
formation and an abstract of an edict. dated
March l4th, 1890, of the new governor OF
the tempestuous republication Manuel de
Sarra,.a. We hope the provisions OF this
edict are not to be taken as specimen OF the
kind OF liberty recovered in that quarter,
and of the genius of the administration which
has succeeded that of Puyerredon.

Declaration Of independence.


XKTE have no authentic copy Of this most
w 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 moment, with satisiac-
ton. Why nave we not
The English nation, still proud of their
MAGMA CHARTA, though every pyoyi-
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 exceled by later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
signatures have 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 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 and ii the fac-similes of the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
| published in America, it would serve to gra-
| tfy curiosity, at least as laudabe as that
! which calls for limitations Of the correspon-
dents of Junius or of the arstocracy 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 Indepen-
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 H.
berty. Such an embellished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
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 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a tanlily---it
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele
gance and ornament with the history Of the
transaction itsell-and famiiarze those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement of political society,"
| Nor is il OF small moment that such an edi-
ten, well executed, will serve as specimen
of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us at
the present day. Actuated by these views,
