“ We’ll deserve it.” Cato.
THE Press has been truly and
classically called the Palladium
of Liberty.—ln the dissemination of
useful knowledge—in the correction of
political abuses, it stands proudly pre
eminent above every other institution
—it is the hand made to the Arts and
Sciences—the conservator of Genius,
and the Pioneer to the march of Lib

k Press may be; however ably and
skilfully conducted, it cannot long
retain an undue influence upon the
minds of the People;—ihe glare of
public observation through which it
moves, like the unsullied Mirror of
Confucius, immediately reflects its
deformity, and exposes its venality.
Some one has aptly observed, that
opinion is the Q ueen of the World!
She is emphatically so in a govern

honest and independent course which
has invariably marked its progress,
so long will the Editors be devoted

they merit; and every exertion will

Such are the sentiments of the

PROPOSALS BY
JOSEPH M. SNDER3OX,
OF niILAUELPHIA.
• 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
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
nations, for an event mure worthy of c >m
mernoration, or of being cherished forever
in the hearts of a grateful and generous
people. The love of Independence is in
terwovens with the frame a>d constitution
the human mind. It is almost die first sen
timent that animates the infant’s features in
the Cradle ; and amongst all the actions and
euterpnzes 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 lug more
: imperious claims upon our gratituH 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 the patriot or
hero, who promoted the cause of liberty
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 Itis name and achievements in the
imperishable records of fa ne. It would in
deed be no favorabie pressage of the per
petuity of our republican institutions, to
discover an insensibility to the obligations ,
we owe the mem try of the illustrious pat- I
rons of American freedom. They adva >c- \
ed us, by their rnug.iaunmty, from the inglo- ;
rious state of colonial subjection, and Irom I
the arbitrary dominion ol a foreign power, i
to the distinguished elevation of a sover \
eign and independent people ; tliev assur
ed and maintained the imprescriptible riglit
of humanity, by tbe “ mutual pledge of
their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor j” and as long as virtue holds her em
pire in the hearts of their successors, the
example of these generous benefactors writ
not be lost to the world ; their names- will
not pass atvav, nor he forgotten j or their
.glorious deeds jje c mfounded in the com
mon and casual transactions of life. Ingra
titude, is a vice, that in nations, as wed as
i nd.viduals, indicates the last degree of de
generacy and corruption, it is a vice that
implies die absence of every virtue ; it was
in the age of Caligula, that the name of the
Sc-pios was proscribed, and the statue of
Brutus, brought death on its possessor.
“ The glory of our ancestors is the light
of posieruy,” 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
j seldom be achieved by men Who have hum
ble or ordinary objects in prospect, it is by
contemplating the lives and characters of
those who are. marked out from the mutti
cude by their eminent qu’alitjes, that we be
mime emulous of their virtues and their re
gbwn. It is by reading the history of their
tenerous and noble actions, that sympatbe
tc emotions pre 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 limb of the body, was invigorat
ed by exercise and activity. “He inter
wove,” says Piutarch, “ the praise o!' virtue
and the contempt of vice in all their pur
suits and recreations, and by these arts they
were possessed vvi;h a thirst of honor, an
ntiiusia us 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 fin d wiih his spir
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.

utility of the publication we have underta

SIX BOOKS ,
ENTITLED
better to 23c:
By Joseph Eve.
To he Published in the City of Augusta .
The following extract from the “ Georuia
AnvF.R ri.sKR,” will elucidate theprincipa
and drift o the Poem :
“ The Poem is in SIX BOOKS, of from three
to five hundred lines each. Ihe author's
object seems l > be to combat that erroneous
sentiment which the melancholy speculate'. 11s
of ninds of gloomy sensibility have inculca
ted, that the miseries of human life so far
overbalance i• s enjoyments, that existence
itself is not a blessing, or its continuance to
be desired. Mr. Kvk, in Ins Poe:n, attempts
to show, and we believe pretty shccesslttlly,
that tnere are sufficient grounds of comfort
in all the diversified stations oflife, sufficient
sources of co isolation in the midst of con
victs and difficulties, to demonstrate the
truth of the title lie has chosen for Iris Po
em. that it is “ Butter to |* s .» M e endea
vors to sltow, 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 countless blessings, can find nothing worth
living for. Mr. Eve takes a survey ofltu
ntao tile in all its stages—of science in all its
branches—or business in all its activity—of
creation in all its sublimity and beauty, and
under various views, and many animated
descriptions, lie endeavors clearly to show, I
that the life of man, with all its vicissitudes,
has a balance of happiness greatly in its fa
vor. she work, we are informed, will after
a short time be put to press.”
