PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA,
For Publishing by Subscription, a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BY
JOHN SANDERSON,
WHEN we consider the personal quali-"
ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociated in the first Congress of the United
Slates, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion which demanded the exercise of
their wisd nn and deliberations, and the in
fluence of their councils on the interests of
mankind, we must acknowledge that very
tardy a m ire imposing and magnificent
Spectacle has been exhibited to the world j
«nd we shail seek in vain, in the annals of
nations, for an event more worthy of com
memoration, nr of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a grateful and generous
people. The love of Independence is in
terwutens with the frame a id constitution
the human mind. It is almost the first sen
timent that animates the infant's features in
the cradle ; and amongst all the actions and
enterprises of man, none has aw akened in
to activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of liis nature, none has excited a
gee tier warmth of veneration, and lias more
imp-rious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
v In ihose 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
a-id maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. Ihe animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his features from
the gr.isp of death, and the historian in
scriv.i.l Ids name and achievements in the
imp r shable recufds oLfanje. It would in
deed be no favorable pressage of the per
petudy of our republican institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American frecduiii. They idva>c
-sd*'''. by their magnanimity, from the inglo
rious slate of colonial subjection, and tram
dominion oi a foreign power,
to the distinguished elevation of a sover
eign ahiindependeut peoole ; they asser
cd and maintained the imprescriptible riglit
of humanity, by ti.e “ mutual pledge of
fheir lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and ■ hmg as virtue holds herem
pir« in the hearts of their successors, the
example of these generous benedict .rs will
not be (ost to the world ; their names will
net pass away, nor be forgotten ; ur their
glorious deed? be c mfn • tided in the coin
mo . and casual transaction - jf fife, lugra
titiide, i.* a Vice, that jn nations, as wed as
individual*, in iicstes the last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies the absence of every virtue ; it was
in die age of Caognla, that the na eot the
Scipi .s was proscribed, and the t .atue of
fein t.-, brought death on its possessor.
“ The g Ji v of our ancestors is the light
of pbaefily,” and the homage of the 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 w 10 have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and characters of
th»se who are marked out from the multi
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of i heir virtues and their re
nown. It is bv feading the history of their
generous and noble actions, that sympatiie
tic emotions are excited in the heart; and
by a reiteration of sucii feelings, tnat gran
deur of sentiment, dignity and elevation of
character, and habnsof virtue, are geiierat-.
ed and confirmed. Lycurgus dad in ar
y mour the statues of the Gods, that even in
fheir devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have the image of war before their eyes ;
observing well that the disposition of the
mmd, like a limb of the body, was invigorat
ed ny exercise and activity. “He inter
wove,” says 1’ u.avch, “ the praise of virtue
ami the contempt of vice in all their par
sons and recreations, and by these arts they
were pos .eased with a thirst of honor, an
nt i i-i ijUS bordering on insanity', and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
Os M'dtiades interrupted the sleep of The
mis odes, and Theseus in. listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fir d with hisspir
it and became the successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated'savage catches tile
flame of emulation from the deeds of his
ancestors, and hangs his hut with the em
blems of his father's valor.

ken, anil which we now submit to the pa
erouage f our fellow-citizens-

SIX BOOKSi
Entitled
better to 25e:
By Joseph Eve.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following extract from the “ Geohkia
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the !*oen
“ The 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 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 tuere 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 (he
truth of the title he has chosen for his Po
em, that it is “ Better to Be.” He endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continii
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 mao, with all its vicissitudes,
lias a balance of happiness greatly in its fa
vor. Ihe work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press.”
