liy JoSEi-U Evk.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following extract from the “ Georou
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift 'o the Poem :
“ rl, e Poem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lines each. The author’s
object seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentmieiit which the melancholy speculations
ot " "'ds ot gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itseU is not a blessing, or ila continuance to
lie desired. Mr. Eve, in his Poem, attempts
to show, and we believe pretty successfully,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in ail the diversified stations of life, sufficient
sources ot coiisolation in the midst of con
visicts and difficulties, to demonstrate the
ruth ot the title lie has chosen for his Po
em, that it is “ Better ro Be.” He endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continu
ing individuals in existence, forms a more
accura.e estimate of human happiness than
\ * h . ose beings do, who, in the midst
ol countless blessings, can find nothing worth
Hung for. Mr. Eve takes a survey of hu
man life in all its stages—of science in all its
branches—ot business in all its activity-—of
creation in all its sublimity ami beauty, and
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that the life of man, with all its vicissitudes,
has a balance of happiness greatly in its fa
vor. The work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press.”

PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
Tor Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BY
JOHX SA.YDF.HSQK.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociated in the first Congress of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration ol independence, the perilous
occasion which 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 vain, in the annals of
nations, for an event more worthy of coin
inemoration, or of being cherished forever,
in the henrts of a grateful and generous
people The love of independence is in
terwovens with the frame and constitution
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
tuounaqi animates the infant’s features in
the craule ; and amongst all the actions and
enterpmes of man, none has awakened in
to activity a greater exertion of the tirluous
energies of his nature, none has excited a
gtcater warmth ol veneration, and has mure
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
in those Republican States 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
and maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. Ihe animated canvas, and the
hi entiling marble snatched his features from
the grasp of death, and the historian in
scribed ins 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 the obligations
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They adra ic
ed us, by their m igiia’minity, from the inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion ot a foreigfi power,
to the distinguished elevation of a novel
eign and independent people ; they asser
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by the “mutual pled re of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor ami a i long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the
j example of these generous benefactors will
j not be lost to the world ; their names will
; »ot pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
| glorious deeds be confounded in the coin,
j non and casual transactions of life, fngra- !
j litude, is a vice, that in nations, as well as |
irdi viduals, indicates the last degree ol de- j
gent-racy a-td cormpiou- It is a vice that
imphe»lhe absence of every virtue jit was |
in tiie age of Caiigtifa, that the n ame of the i
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of I
Brutus, brought death o.i its possessor.
“ Ihe glory of our ancestors is the light
of posterity,” and the homag; of (he living
cannot be offered to. the merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom he achieved by men woo have hum
ble or ordmary objects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the fives and characters or
those who are marked out from the multi
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of their virtues and their re
nown. It is by reading the history of their
generous and noble actions, that sympathe
tic emotions are excited in the 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. Lvciugus clad in ar
mour the statues of the Gods, that even in
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have the image of war before their 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 l’lutarch, “ the praise of virtue
and the contempt of vice in all their pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst of honor, an
enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of The
nnstocles, and Theseus in listening to (he
exploits of Hercules, Was fired with hisspir
it and became the successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the
I dame of emulation from the deeds of his
| ancestors, and hangs his hut with the em
j blems of his father’s valor,
j More need not to be said to enforce the
utility of the publication we have underta
ken, and which we now submit to the pa
ronage f cur fellow-citizens
coNnmoNs.
The Work will be published in £ volumes
; at intervals of six months, and delivered to
Subscribers at
£2 50 ner VQlume, in boards.
300 do bound in sheep, plain.
325 do do gilt.

It will contain upwards ol 50 portraits, en- j
i graved by Mr. Jan es B. Longucre, and fac j
similies of the signatures, besides a number I
of allegorical embellishments. Ihe paper \
a»d printing will be of the first quality, and J
every exertion used to make it, as it should |
be, a .Yuttonui Work.
The first volume is now prtbli-hed, and
submitted as a specimen of the work. Should i
