SIX BOOKS ,
. “ ENTITLED
better to 23c:
By Josei-h Evk.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following’ extract from the “ Georgia
Advertiser,” w ill elucidate the principal
and drift o the Poem :
” the Poem is iii 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 of gloomy sensibility have inculca
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, and we believe pretty successfully,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient
sources of consolation in the midst of con
victs and difficulties, to demonstrate the
truth of the title he has chosen for hi* Po
em, tiiat 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
\ ot 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
brandies—of business in all its activity of
creation in all i'u sublimity and beau tv, and
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that the life of man, with all its vicissitudes,
has a nalauce 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.
Bor Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
KT
JOHN SANDERSON.
we consider the personal quali-*
T V ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociated in the first Congress of the United
States, and whose names aro affixed to the
Declaration of 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 com
memoration, or of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a grateful and genertjus
people. The love of Independence is in.
terwovens with the frame and constitution
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
timent that animates the infant’s features in
the cradle ; ami amongst all the actions and
enterprizes of man, none has awakened in
| to activity- a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of liis nature, none has excited a
greater warmth of veneration, and has more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
In those Republican Slates which have
been tile 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- ot man. 1 lie animated canvas, ami the
breathing marble snatched his features from
the grasp ot death, ami the historian in
scribed his name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fame. It would in
deed be no favorable pro-sage of the per
petuity ot our republic an institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons ot American freedom. They advanc
ed us. by their magnanimity, from the inglo
rious state ot colonial subjection, and from
tile arbitrary dominion of a foreign power,
to the distinguished elevation of a cover
eign and independent people ; they asser
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by the “mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and as long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the
example of tliesfegenerous benefactors will [
not be lost to the world ; their names will !
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; or tlieir j
glorious deeds be confounded in the com- j
i mon and casual transactions of life. Ingra- )
I titude, is a vice, that in nations, a* weii as
, individuals, indicates the last degree ot de
j gene racy and corruption: It is a vice that
implies liny absence of every virtue ; it was
iu the age of Caligula,, that the name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
" The glory of our ancestors is the light
ot posterity-,” and the homage of the living
cannot be offered to the merits of the illtts
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom be achieved by men who have hum
ble or ordinary . bjects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and' characters of I
thuse who are marked out from tire multi- j
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of their virtues and their l-e
--nown. It is by reading the history of their
generous and noble actions, that sympatne
tic emotions are excited in the heart; and
by a reiteration of such feelings, that gran
deur of sentiment, dignity and elevation of
character, aiul habits of virtue, are generat
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 tlieir. eyes ;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of tl.e body, w as invigorat
ed by- exercise an-1 activity. “ye inter
wove,” says Piutarcn, “ 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
nthusiams bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” 1 ,ie trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of The
mistocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with hisspir
it and became the successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the j
flame of emulation from the deeds of Ids I
ancestors, and hangs his hut with the em
blems of his father’s valor.
