PKOPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
Tor Publishing by Subscription , a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
BI
JOHN SA YDERSOX.
WHEN we consider tlie personal quali
ties of the States.nen, who were as
socia’.ed in the first Oi.ig. ess of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion winch demanded the exercise of
their wisd ini and deliberations, anil 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 se -It in vain, ill the annals of
nations, for an event more worthy of com
memoratio i, or of being cherished forever
in the nea is of a grateful and generous
people, file love of Independence is in
tenv .veils with the frame and constitution l
the nu in an mind. It is almost the first sen
timefu i hat animates the infant's features in i
the cra.be ; and amongst all the actions and
enterprises of man, none has awakened in
to ou.’ ty a greater exertion of tiie virtuous
energies of his nature, none has excited a
greate" warmth of veneration, and lias more
imperihits tslaims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
• In those Republican States which have
been the admiration of the world, the first
tribute of genius was paid to tilt; patriot or
hero, who promoted trie cause of liberty
aad maintained the independence and dig
nity of man. I'he animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his features from
the gr .sp of death, and the historian in
scribed ins name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fame. Jt would in
deed be no favorable prestage of tlie per- ]
petuay of our republican institutions, to j
discover an insensibility to the obligations !
we o.ve the mem iry of the illustrious pat- I
rons of American freedom. Tney advauc- i
e.l us, by their magnanimity, from the inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion of k foreign power,
to tie distinguished elevation of a sover
eign and independent people ; they assur
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by the “ mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and tlieiiv sacred
honor and as long as virtue holds ner em
pire in the hearts of their successors, me
example of these generous benefactors will
not be lost to the world s their names will
riot pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be c infpuiidect in tiie com
mon amt casual transactions of fife. Ingra
titude, is a vice, ..at in nations, as wed as
individuals, indicates the last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that i
implies tiie absence of every virtue ; it w»s |
in the age of Cubg.iSa, that tlie name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Bmtuj., brought death on its possessor.
“ The glory of our -nicesiors is the light
of posterity ” and the'liomage of the living
tan not be offered to the merits of the illus
trious dead, with an ineffectual nr sterile
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom be achieved by men who have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by j
cootemp ating the iives and characters of
those who are marked out trom the multi
tude by their eminent qualities, that we be
come emulous of :heir virtues and their 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 graii
d.-ur if sentiment, dignity and elevation of
charade' 1 , and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycurgus ciaU in ar-
V mour tae statues of the Gods, that even in
their devotions the citizens of Sparta might
have toe image of war before tneir 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
dnd the contempt of vice in all their pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed with a thirst of honor, an
nthusuits bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of The
misiocles, 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
flame of emulation horn the deeds of his
ancestors', and hangs his hut. with the em
blems of his father’s Valor.
More need not to be said to enforce the
utility of the publication we have underta
ken, and which we now submit to the pa
eronuge f our fellow-citizens-

SIX BOOKS,
ENTITLED
better to 25c; •
By Josnm Evk.
To be Published in the City of Augusta
The following extract from the “ Gkohgia
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the Poem :
“ 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 tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
I in all the diversified stations of life, sufficient
j sources of consolation in the midst of con
! victs and difficulties, to demonstrate the
I truth of the title he has chosen for his Po
em, that it is 11 Butter 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 coanllesi 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—ot
creation in all its sublimity and beatify, and
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that the life of m an, wKli all its vicissitudes,
has a balance of happiness greatly in its fa
vor. Tlie work, we are informed, will after
a short lime be put to press.”

Such a work as Shakesveihe, perfectly j
