PROPOSALS by
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF FIIIIiAJIELPUIA.
Sfor Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BV
JOff.V SAXDERSOX.
jTiniEN we consider the personal quali
»f ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociaied in the first Congress of the United
Slates, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
j occasion which demanded the exercise of
their wisdom and deliberations, and the in
fluence of their councils on the interests of
I vuu:ikind, we must acknowledge that very
rarely a mure imposing and magnificent
spectacle has been exuibited to the world ;
and we shall seek in vain, in the annals of
nations, for an event more worthy of com
memoration, or of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a grateful and generous
people The love of Independence is in
ter-woven* with the frame and constitution
the human mind. It is almost tile first sen
}ujutiu[i animates uie infant’s features in
tile Ciauie ; ami amongst ail the actions and
eaterprizos of iriiin, none has awakened in
to acivity a greater exertion of the virtuous
eiingies of :us nature, none has excited a
jjjrealer warmth of veneration, and has more
mi,)-nous claims upon our gratitude, than
res. anoc to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
in :ho..e Republican States which have
been toe adm.. auon of the world, the first
tr.bu'c ei genius was paid to the patriot or
hero who pi -.noted tne cause of liberty
ai.u linomained the independence and dig
nit; oS :n„. . lue animated efinvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his features from
tile grasp it death, and the historian in
scribed his name and achievements in the
i i perishable records of fame. It would in
deed be no fuv. ruble pressage of the per
pe.ua/ oi our republican institutions, to I
discover an insensibility to the obligations !
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat- j
roas of American freedom. 1 bey adva ic- ;
ed us, by their magnanimity, from the uiglo- |
iious state of col.nnal subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion ot a foreign power,
to the distioguislied elevation of a sover
eign and independent people ; they asset
ed and maintained tne imprescriptible right
ot humanity, by tne “ mutual pledge of
tlieir lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor ami us long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts ci tne.r successors, the
example oi these generous benefactors will
noi be lost to i-ic world; their names will
liot pass away, nor be lorgolten ; or their
glorious deeds be c --founded in tile com- -
moil and c - aa. transactions of life, fngra- ,
fitude, is a- ic-e, teat in nations, as well as J
in I v.duals, nnh -.ates tiie last degree ot de- j
generacy uud corruption- . It is a vice that 1
implies llie alls, ue-.- m every virtue ; it was
in die age ot U iguia, that tne name ot the
Scipios wa. proscribed, and the statue of
Brums, hr . giit ifeatii on its possessor.
“ ’l he glory of o-ir ancestors is the light
of posterity,” and the homage of the living
ca mot be oft’ei ed to the merits of the illus
tt'ii us dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom 1- a a i-cved by men who have hum
tie or ordinary bjects in prospect. It is by
coiiUT- piatirg -l-e lives and ciiaracteis ot
those " n are 'marked out from the multi
tude oy'iirir eminent qualities, that we be
cone ’ iocs -it their virtues and their re
liowii. it-s hv reading the history of their
generous and noble a.:i.ons, that sympathe
t: motions are exr-ieu in die heart; anti
L. , rtiierac. -n of rich teelitigs, that grau
<Jen" sentiment, dignitt and elevation ot
character, and hub: s of yi- ne, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lyiurgus clad m ar
mour the statues of the Gods, tuat even m
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have the image of war belore tlieir eyes;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of ti.e body, was invigorat
ed bv exercise and activity. “He inter- ;
■wove’,” saysTPlutarch, “ the praise of virtue
an the contempt, of vice in all tlieir pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst ol' honor, an
nliiusiauis bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Miltiades inlerr .pted the sleep of The
mistocles, a.id Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with hisspir
it and became tbe successful rival of bis
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the
of emulation from the deeds of his
ancestors, and hangs his hut with the em
blems of his father’s valor.

ENTITLED
better to 23e:
By Joseph Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following extract from the “ Geohqii
AuvEUTtsEn,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the Poem •
“ l’he Poem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lines each. The author’s
object seems to be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculations
of minds ot gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance its enjoyments, that existence
itselfisnota blessing, or its continuance to
b? desired. Mr. Eve, in his Poem, attempts
to show, and we believe pretty successfully,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in ali 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 his Po
em, that it is “ Bklteb 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, lie 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.”
