PROPOSALS BY
I JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
{.-Jfcr Publishing by Subscription , a Biography
of the Signers to the
MpDeclaratioa of Independence.
BY
JOJI.X SAXDERSOfrr.
!hHiTIIEN wo consider the personal quali
ilHP? ties of the Statesmen, who veins as
JjajjLcia'.ed in the first Congress of the United
lyHffltates, and whose names are affixed to the
fpHVectaration of Independence, so perilous
IBKBccasion winch demanded the -exercise of
wisdom and deliberations, and the in-
Muence of their councils on the interests of
Mankind, we must acknowledge that very
I tarely a more imposing and magnificent
•pectacle has been exhibited to the world ;
J*nd we shall seek in vain, in the annals of
aidilations, for an event more worthy of com-
Lgatemoration, or of being cherished forever
JJJTn the hearts of a grateful and generous
people. The love of Independence is in.
‘ ferwovens with the frame and constitution
x the human mind. It is almost the first sen
j timent that animates the infant’s features in
i tflle cradle ; and amongst ail the actions and
iVAuterprizes of man, none has awakened in
jjßfco activity a grea'er exertion of the virlh ms
(energies of his nature, none has excited a
[mkreater warmth of veneration, and has more
jjSsftmperious claims upon our gratitude, than
gpw resistance to tyranny and political oppres-
MM won.
In tltose Republican States which have
'ft been the admiration of the world, the first
U tribute of genius was paid to the patriot or
fm hero, who promoted the cause of liberty
Ee £'.d maintained the independence and dig.
| nity of man. The animated canvas, and Hie
j® breathing marble snatched Ms features from
HI the grasp of death, anti the historian in
j scribed his name and achievements in the
raj imperishable records of fame. It would in
| deed be no favorable pressage of the per
»! peluity of our republican institutions, to i
t discover an insensibility to the obligations
■ : we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They adva ic
; eJ us, by their magnanimity, from the itiglo
j rious state of colonial subjection, and front
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power,
if to the distinguished elevation of a suver
eign and independent people ; they asser
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right.
[i of humanity, by the “ mutual pledge of
T their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor j” and as long as virtue holds herem
fi pire in the hearts of their successors, the
example of these generous benefactors will
not be lost to the world ; their names will
not pass away, nor be forgotten ; or their
glorious deeds be confounded in the com
mon and carnal transactions of life. Ingra
titude, is a vice, that in nations, as well as
individuals, indicates the last degree of de
generacy and corruption- It is a vice that
implies the absence of every virtue ; it was
in the age of Caligula, that the name of the
Seipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ The glory of cur ancestors is the light
of posterity,” 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 wuo have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and characters of
those who are marked out from the multi
oude by their eminent qualities, that we he
nome emulous of their virtues and their re
gown. It is by reading the history of their
tenerous and noble actions, that sympathy
ic emotions are excited in the heart; and
ty a reiteration of such feelings, that gran,
beur of sentiment, dignity and elevation of
character, and 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 their eyes ;
observing well that the disposition of the
mind, like a liinb of the body, y/as invigorat
ed by exercise and activity, “He inter
wove,” says Plutarch, “ 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
ntuusia u i bordering on insanity, and had
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
of Mdtiades 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
flame of emulation from 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, ami which we now submit to the pa-
Sronage I our fellow-citizens-

ENTITLED
better to 23c:
By Joseph Eve.
To be Piihlished in the City of Augusta
Hie following extract from the “ Gkoru(a
Advertiser,” will elucidate the principal
and drift o the Poem
“ The Poem is in S’X 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
ot 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, that it is “ Better to Be.” He endea
vors to show, that Providence, in continu
ing individuals in existence, forms a more
accurate estunafe ot 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 k bf 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 arid beauty, ami
.under various views, and many 'animated
descriptions, he endeavors clearly to show,
that the life of in an, 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.
Ihe above Poem will be printed or. very
fine paper, and in an elegance of style not
inferior to the handsomest northern publica
j tions.
It will be comprised in one volume, coo
tatiiing about 2JD duodecimo pages.
The price to Subscribers will he one dol
lar half bound—or «ne dollar and a half lull
bound in a superior style, payable on delive-
I ry of the volume.
<Cjf’ Every person who shall procure twelve
subscribers, arid become answerable for the
payment, will be entitled to an additional
copy.
