PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SANDERSON,
OF PHILADELPHIA,
For Publishing by Subscription , a Biography
of the Signers to the
Declaration of Independence.
Bt
JOHN SANDEftS ON.
WHEN we consider the personal quali
ties of the Statesmen, who were as
sociated in the first Congress of the United
States, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration of Independence, the perilous
occasion winch 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
for an event more worthy of com
inemoration, or of being cherished forever
in the Warts of a grateful and generous ]
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 ; and amongst all the actions and
enterprises of man, none has awakened in
to activity a greater exertion of the virtuous
energies of his nature, none has excited a
greater warmth of veneration, and lias more
imperious claims upon our gratitude, than
resistance to tyranny and political oppres
sion.
In those Republican States which have
the admiiation of the world, the first
tribute of genius was paid to the patriot or
hero, who promoted toe cause of iiberty
and maintained the independence 'and dig
nity of man. The animated canvas, and the
breathing marble snatched his features from
the grasp of death, and the historian in
scribed his name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fame. It would in
deed be no favorable pressage of the per
petuity of our republican institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations
we owe the memory of the illustrious pat
rons of American freedom. They advanc
ed us, by their magnanimity, from tiie inglo
rious state of colonial subjection, and from
the arbitrary dominion of a foreign power,
to the distinguished elevation of a sover
eign and independent people ; tliej- asser
ed and maintained the imprescriptible right
of humanity, by the mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor and a3 lung as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the
example of these generous benelactors will
not be lost to the world ; their names will
not pass away, nor be forgotten; or their ;
glorious deeds he confounded in tne com- i
itton and casual transactions of life. Ingra- i
titnde, is a vice, that in nations, as we.l as ]
individuals, indicates the last degree of de- I
generacy and corruption* It is a vice that
implies the absence of every virtue ; it was
iri the age of Caligula, that the name of the
Scipios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ The giorv of our ancestors is the light
<sf posterity,” and the homage of the living
cannot be offered to file merits of the illus- |
trious dead, with an ineffectual or sterile j
admiration. Great and splendid actions will
seldom be achieved by men who have hum
hie or ordinary objects in prospect. It is by
contemplating the lives and characters ot
those who are marked out from the rjiulti
cude by their eminent qualities, that we be*
nome emulous of their virtues and their re
gown. It is by reading the history of their
tenerous and noble actions, that sympathe*
ic emotions are excited in the heart; and
ty a reiteration of such feelings, that grau
beur of sentiment, dignity and eksvation of
character, and habits of virtue, are generat
ed and confirmed. Lycurgus clad in ar
mour the siatues 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 limb of the body, was 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, ail
nttiusiaius bordering on insanity, and bad
not a wish for their country.” The trophies
. of Miltiades interrupted the sleep of The
mistocles, and Theseus in listening to the
exploits of Hercules, was fired with his spir
it and became tiie successful rival of his
fame. The uncultivated savage catches the
flame of emulation from the deeds of his
ancestors, and bangs his hut with the em
blems of bis father’s valor.
More need not to be said to enforce the
utility of the publication we have underta
y ken, and which we r.ow submit to the pa
erullage f our fellow-citizens*
CONDITIONS.
