Declaration of Imieptvruleuce,
1!Y JOHN SANDEItaOK.
HEN we consider the personal qual
f ▼ iues tis the statesmen who were as
associated.in the Congress of the United
blares, and whose names are affixed to the
Declaration ol Independence, the perilous
occasion which demanded the exercise of,
their wisdom and dehheiv.lions, and lilt
influence of their councils on Urn interests
of mankind, we must ac t now ledge, that
very rarely a more imposing and magnih
cent spectacle has been exhibited to the
world ; afid we shall seek. in vain, in the
annals of nations, for an event more wor
thy of commemoration, or of being cher
ished forever in the hearts of a grateful
it generous people. The love of indepen
dence is interwoven with tne frame aim .
cousiitution of the human mind it is al
most the first sentiment that animates the
intani’s features in the cradle, and amongst
all the actions and eulerpnzes of man.
none Inis awakened into activity a greater
exertion of the virtuous energies of his
nature, none lias excited a greater warmth
of veneration, and lias mure imperious
claims upon our gratitude, than resistance
to ivrami) and political oppression.
lii those republican slates which have
been the admiration of the world, the first
tribute ol genius was pa.d to the palm
and hero wiio promoted the cause ol doer
l) , and maintained tae independence ant
dignity of man. The animated canvas,
and the breathing marble snatched ins
features from Uie grasp of death, and the
historian inscribed his name and acuieve
aunts in the ur perishable records of fame.
It w.itud indeed be no luvoiable pitsage
of ihe perpesuily of our republican insti
tutions, to discover an insensibility to the
obligations we owe to the members of lire
illustrious patrons oi the American free
dom. They advanced us, by their mag
nanimity, from the inglorious slate ol co
lonial subjection, and from the arbitrary
dommion of a forego power, to the dis
tinguished elevation of a sovereign and in
dependent people; they asserted, and
maintained the imprescnliblc rights of hu
inanity, by the “mutual pledge of their
lives, their fortunes, ami their sacreu ho-
pf >( t • “■ " ■'* w » ) 1,...
pTTc m tlie beans of their successors, the
example of these generous benefactors
will not be lost to the world, their names
wilt not pass away nor be forgotten, or
ill. ir glorious deeds be confounded in Uie
common and casual transactions of life. —
ingratitude is a Vice that in nations, as
well as individuals, indicates tlie last de
gree of degeneracy and corruption, it is
a vice implies me absence of every vir
lue; it was in tlie age oi Caligula that the
name of the iscipioswas prescribed and
tlie Statute of lirutuu bioug.il dcatu upon
its possessor.
“ Tne g lory of our ancestors is tlie light
of posterity,” and tin; homage at the liv
ing ca.u.ot we uttered to the merits of the
illustrious dead v.ilh an inett'ctual or ste
rile admiration. Great and splendid ac
tions wnl seldom be achieved by men who
have humble or ordinary objects in .pros
pect. It is uy cont-.mpin.Uhg he lives and
characters of those who arc marked out
from tlie multitude by iheir eminent qual
ities, ihat vve become emulous ot t.veir
virtues and Uv.-ir renown, it is by read
ing the history ot vhyir renown.—lt ib by
reading tiie liis oiy ot tneir generous and
u./lile actions, luat sympathetic emotions
arc exciu d in me liearl, and by ft reitera
tion ot sneb feelings, that grandeur of sen
timent, dignity and elevation of character,
and habits of virtue are generated aim
confirmed.- Lycugns clad in armour the
a suites of the gous, that even in their de
votions, the citizens ol Sparta might have'
the images ot war before llicir eyes; ob
serving well that the disposition of the
mind, like a limb of the bony, was invigo
rated by exercise and activity. “He in
terwove,” says Plutarch, “ the praise ol
virtue and the contempt «f - ice in all their
pursuits and recicnlion, and by the-.c arts
tlu-y were possessed with a thirst of honor,
»n enthusiasm bordering on insanity, and
bad not a wish for their couuiry.” The
trophies of Milliades interrupted the
sleep of Themistocles; and Theses, in
listening to tlie exploits of Herculus, was
tired with his spirit, and became the sue
eessfnl rival oi his fame. The uncultivat
ed sa\ age catches the flame of emulation
from the deeds ol his ancestors, and hangs
his hut with the emblems of his father’s
valor.
More need not be sa ; d to enforce the
utility of tlie publication we have under
taken, and which we now submit to the
patronage of our fellow citizens.

it connects St completes our Atlantic Sea
Hoard from Passamaquoddy to the Scbine;
we know that it affords several excellent

of various warlike and mischievous tubes
of Indians ; but we wish further to know
what ate its. griculiural ad vantages—-what

—what the temperature ami influence of

fifth article of the Convention be

Britain ol 20th October, ISIB both
of which are hereby republished, as
follows:
First article of the feMiy oj Ghent.
** Tlierc shall be a iirni and universal
peace between bis Britannic Majesty and
the United Slates, and between their res
peclive countries, territories, cities, towns, ■
and people of every degree, without.ex
ception of places or persons. All hosti
lities, both by .sea and land, shall cease as
soon as this Treaty shall have been ra
l.fu-d by both parties, as bereinatu r 'men
tioned/ Ail territory, places, and posses
sions whatsoever, taken by either pa' ty
from the other, during 1 the war, or winch
may be taken after the signing of this
Treaty, excepting only the islands here
inafter mentioned, shall be restored with

truction, or carrying away any of the artu.'

course of the war, may have fallen into
the hands of the ofliccrs of either party,
shall be, as far as may he practicable,
'forthwith restored and delivered to the
proper authorities and persons to whom
they respectively belong.
Such of the Islands in the bay of Pas
c*.r.»‘,/iiiru!dy. as -are claimed by both pir
: ties, shall remain In the possession oi Un
party in whose occupation they may be. at
the, time of the exchange of the ratifica

, peeling the title to the said islands shah
nave been made in conformity with the
fourth article of this treaty. No disposition
made ay this treaty, as to such possession,
of the islanas and territories claimed by
both parties, shall, in any manner what
soever, he construed to afl'cct the right
of either-"
Fifth Article of the Convention of
20th October, 1813.
“ Wheitas it was agreed, by the first
article of the 'rtaty of Ghent, that, —
“ all territory, places, and possessions,
whatsoever, taken by either parly from
the other during the war, or which may
be taken after the signing of this treaty,
expecting only the islands hureiiialter
mentioned, si.all be restored without
delay, and without causing any destruc
tion or carry in f away any of the artiicry
brother public property originally cap
lured in said forts or places, which shall
remain therein upon liic exchange of the
ratifications of this treaty, or any slaves or
other private property; And, whereas,
under the afoieaaid article, the United
States claim for their citizens, and
as their private propeity, tiie restitu
tion of or full compensation for, all
slaves who, at the date of the exchange
of tho ratifications of the said treaty
wheiein any territory,places, or posses
sions, whatsoever, directed by the said
treaty to be restored 10 the United States,
but then still occupied by the British
forces, whatever such slaves were, at
the date aforesaid, on shore, or on ooard
any British vessel lying in waters within
the territory or jurisdiction of the United
States j And whereas differences have
arisen whether, by the true intent and
meaning of the aforesaid article of the
treaty of Ghent, the United States are
entitled to the restoration nr lull compen
sa'ionlbr, all or any slaves as above des
cribed, the high contracting parties Irene
by agreed to refer the said differences to
some friendly sovereign or state,- to be
named tor that purpose, and the high con
tracting parties further engage to consider
tile decision of such frienuly sovereign or
stale to be final and conclusive on all the
matters referred.”
From these stipulations it will be
perceived that the material facts to
be ascertained, and, as far as may be
practicable, proved bv the sufferers,
will be,
li The loss of slaves, whether bv
absconding or by capture within the
United States, with the name, age,
sex, and value, of each individual
lost.
2. The fact of their being with the
British forces at the time of the ex
