The
Declaration Of Independence.

YNIE have no authentic copy OF this most
w important state paper, the very oasls
that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satiStae-
ton. Why have we not ?
The English nation, still proud OF their
MAGMA CHAR IA, though every provi-
sionit contains has been trampled upon ooy
the bold ambition ofthelr rulers, have pup
ished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than It's predecessor.-,,
Sir William Blackstone has coiiated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magna
Charta has been exceiled by later specimens
of ART, and the fac-siIniles OF the seals ana
signatur sshave 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 g BaEons 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 1t '7ere
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 relue-
ant 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 o: the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations az 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 Il.
berry. Such an embeilished edition as will
renderit an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the kp 'wledge OF
IFS contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject Such an edition will
serve to place it continually under The eye
of man, woman, and child in a famly-it
will associate the pleasurable ideas OF ele-
gance and ornament with the history OF the
transaction itseIi-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,
