AUGUSTA HERALD. VOL. XXIII No. 5. JVaUonvxY Wovk. 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.

May 95 PROSPECTUS OK & IN SIX BOOKS , 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.” TERMS, The above Poem will be printed or. very fine paper, and in an elegance of style not inferior to Uie handsomest northern publica tions. It will be comprised in one Volume, con taining about 209 duodecimo pages. The price to Subscribers will be one dol lar half bound—or vne dollar and a half full bound in a superior ityle, payable on delive ry of tbe volume. I'CT Every person who shall procure twelve subscribers, and become answerable lor the payment, will be entitled to an additional copy.
