''The series Of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me as a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-of the danger
Que and exciting subjects which they embraced !"
By that adjustment we have been rescued from
''the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
US, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will jus
tify me IN EXPORTING MY coUNrRYMEN TO RALLY
UPON AND MAIsTAIN THAT GROUND as the best, If
not the only means Of restoring peace and quiet
to the country and maintaining inviolate the in
tegrity of the Union"

AMERICANS

D'Avignon.


EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty four Portraits and Biograph
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
ilustrous in the service OF the country. Every por
hon OF the work will receive the most careful ate
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, ~ collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishments of this grea,
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with tie soul
of the living countcnance.
The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste TO be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by % ,..ches rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those only admitted whose talents
and public services have for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, nd
friend of glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking, that It's publication may make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
llustrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach of mos, OF our citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
