PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
Pur Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BT
JOI/.V SJjVDERSOJV.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociated in the first Congress of the Hinted
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
si's rely a more imposing and magnificent
spectacle has been exuibited to the world ;
and we shall seek in vain, in the annals of
nations, tor an event more wormy of com
memoration, or of being cherished forever
in the heaits of a grateful and generous
people The love of Independence is in
terwoven* with the frame and constitution
the human mind. It is a.most the first sen
luouijaqt animates the infant’s features in
tile crauie ; and amongst all the actions and
enterprises of man, none has awakened irf
to activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of his nature, none has excited a
greaLer warmth of veneration, and has more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
In tiiose Republican States which have
been the admiration of the world, the first
tribute ot genius was paid to the patriot or
hero, who promoted tlie cause ot liberty
aud maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. The animated canvas, and me
breathing marble snatched his features from
the grasp ol death, and the historian in
scribed ms name and achievements in the
imperishable records of tame. 1c would in
deed be no favorable pressage of the per
petuity ol our republican institutions, to |
discover an insensibility to the obligations
we owe tlfe memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They advanc
ed us, by tiieir maguan.mity, from the ingio- '
vious state of coioma! subjection, and from j
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power, j
to the distinguished elevation of a sever ]
eign and independent people ; they asset - - |
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right- ;
of humanity, by the “ mutual pledge of
their hv s, their fortunes, and their sacred i
honor and as long as virtue holds herein- j
pirwiu the hearts of their successors, the
example ol tnese generous benefactors will
not be lost to the world ; their names will
hot pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be c mtounded in tbc com
mon and carnal transactions of life. Ingra
titude, is a vice, tiiat in nations, as well as
individuals, indicates the last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies the absence of every virtue ; it was
in the age of (Jaiigula, that the name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ The giory of oar ancestors is tile light
of posterity,” and the homage of tiie living
cannot be offered to the merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom be achieved by men who have hum
bfe or ordinary tijects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and characters of
those who are marked out from the multi
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous ot iheir virtues and theii 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 anil eiavation of
character, and habits of virtue, are genernt
\ * ed and confirmed. Lycurgus 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 Plutarch, “ 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.” flic trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of t'he
mistocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with liisspir
it and became the successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the
flame of emulation from the deeds of his
ancestors, and Indies his hut with the em
v blems of his father’s valor.
More need not to be said to enforce the
utility of t ie publication vve have underta
ken, and which we now submit to the pa
ronage f our fellow-citizens-

SIX BOOKS , ,
ENTITLED
better to 15c:
By Joseph Kvk.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following extract from the “ Georgia
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the Poem :
“ The Poen: is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lines each. The author's
obj’ect seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculations
of minds of gloomy sensibility have inculea
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itself is not a blessing, or its continuance to
be desired. Mr. Eve, in his Poem, attempts
to show, aud we believe pretty successlullv,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient
sources of consolation in the midst of con
visicts and difficulties, to demonstrate the
ruth of the title lie has chosen for hii Po
em, that it is “ Better to Be.” He endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continu
ing individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estimate of human happiness than
those churlish beings do, who, in the midst
of countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for. Mr. Eve takes a survey of hu
man life in all its stages—of science in all its
branches—of business in all its activity—of
creation in all its sublimity and 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.”
