PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
or fhilaueuhia.
For Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BT
JOHN S.4NDERSON.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the Statesmen, who were a?,
sociaied in the first Congress of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration ol Independence, the perilous
occasion winch demanded the exercise of
their wisdom and deliberations, and the in.
fluence of their councils on the interests of
mankind, we must acknowledge that very
rarely a more imposing and magnificent
spectacle has been exhibited to the world ;
and we shall seek in vam, in the annals of
nations, for an event more worthy of com
memoration, or of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a graieful ami generous
people. The love of Independence is in
terwoven with the frame and constitution of
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
timent that animates the infant's features in
the cradle ; and amongst all the actions and
euterprizes of man, none has awakened in
to activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of his nature, none has excited a
greater warmth of veneration, and has more
imperious claims uport our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political opprtfP
sion.
In those Republican Slates which have
been the admiration of the world, the first
tribute of genius was paid to the patriot or
hero, who promoted the cause of liberty
aid maintained the independence and dig
nity ot man. The animated canvas, a.id Hie
breathing marble snatched his features from
the grasp of death, and the historian in
scribed his name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fame. • It would in
deed be no favorable pressage of the per
petuity of our republican institutions, to ]
discover an insensibility to tbe obligations
We owe the memory of die illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They adva ic
ed us, by their mag un imty, fro n the inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary doiniioon of a foreign power,
'to the distinguished elevation of a sover
eign and independent people ; they assert- j
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right*
of humanity, by tbe “mutual pledge of
(heir lives, their fortunes, ai.d their, sacred
honor j” and as long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the
example of these generous benefactors will
not be lost to the world ; their names will
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be confounded in the com
mon and casual transaction* of life. Ingra
titude, is a vice, that in nations, as well as
individuals, indicates the last degree ot de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies the absence ot every virtue ; it was
in the age of Caiigula, that t,.e name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and tiie statue of
Brums, brought death on its possessor.
“ The glory of our ancestors is the light
of posterity,” ai.d the homage of the living
cannot be otfered to the merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom be achieved by men w.io have hum
ble or ordinary bjects in prospect. It is by
contemplating tne lives and characters of
those who are inaraed out trom the multi
tude oy their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of their virtues and their re
nown. It is Oy reading die history of their
generous and noble actions, that sympathe
tic emotions are excited in tile heart; and
by a reiteration of such feelings, that gran
deur of sentiment, dignity and elevation of
character, and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycurgus clad in ar
mour the statues of tbe Gods, that even in
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have the imagd of war before tneir eyes ;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of the body, was invigorat
ed by exercise and activity. “He inter
wove,” says Plutarch, “ the praise of virtue
and the contempt of x\C£ in all their pur
suits and recreations,"3llll by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst of honor, an
enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and bad
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Mdtiades interrupted the sleep of The
misiocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired wuh his spir
it and became the successful rival of bis
fame. Tne uncultivated savage catches the
Dame of emulation from the deeds of his
ancestors, and hangs his hut. with the em
blems of lhs father’s valor.
