A GREAT NATIONAL WORK,
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS

Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'AvignOn.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TTNDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illustrious in the service of the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful aten-
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 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 great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguereotypes are in the
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by 70 ,nchcs, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope; it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted whose talents
aud public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partmcnts of life wil have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
umcnt to the great OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union will respond to our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
uudera XII mr. that its publication NAV make era in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
illisrious of the Union together, consolidate il
still more firmly
As work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place ii
beyond the reach of most OF citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging a very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following

turb her domain, rather than resort for their
suppression TO the almost universally ap-
proved method of physical force. To this
point We would call especial attention, because
VIC deem il the fundamental basis on which the
great suporstructuro stands Of wrong to coman,
and Of oppression to the whole human race I;
and because among the various classes Of indi-
viduals, of whom society is composed, the most
efficient power to produce a radical reform on
this subject, is with mothers, who cannot fail to
impress upon their offspring, their own spirit
and practice of God.likc love, or Of ficpdish
hate. Wrongs will ever be perpotuated until
the kindly influences of love acquire universal
dominion, and in proportion to its diffusion, will
our rights be awarded to us. Its progress may
be slow, but it is positively sure.
But am addressing men and women who
need no encouragement from me. They have
already learned the secret of success in moral
conflict, by being disciplined through the ten
thousand atoms which has made up the great
whole of their emancipation, and who can feel
the fitness of the poets saying:
"rho small continual creeping rwa,l
OF the silent footsteps of the sea, minetl the
or adamant, and stoalthily compasseth its
ruin"
Such have already learned there is no swerv-
ing from direct line, that may not lead etern.
ally astray.
The power of truth impells them onward
and having felt its terrible omnipotcncc, they
can never falter in an hour like this, when the
destiny of the world depends upon their con.
stancy. They have
"Praycr strengthened for the trial como together
Put on the harness for the moral fight,
And with the blessings of their Heavenly Father
VIII guard the RIGHT"

SLAVE CATcHER's FEEs.-As many of those
who escape from bondage appear to have resolv-
cd upon "liberty or DEATH" it would seem to
be no more than justice for Congress to alter
the fugitive slave law so as to secure to the
commissioners the bounty awarded them in
case of success. They might do it by enactins
that when the alleged slave is killed in the at
tempt to take him, the bounty should be paid
upon delivery of the ears, the same as in the
case of fox scalps. This would secure to that
worthy class of public officers the consideration
for which they deliberately "throw conscience

Of our state, it is believed, will grant to all un-

to vote at all such meetings, and on no other
subject is there such need, perhaps, for them to
