v m*,.-. % NATION At WOBS. PROPOSALS JB r JOHN M. SANDERSON, or ratuoupflu. For publishing by Subscription, a Biography of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. BY JOHN SANDERSON. HEN we consider the personal qual yj ities of the statesmen who were as associated in the Congress of the United States, and whose name* are affixed to the Declaration'of.lndependence, the perilous occasion which dennanded the exercise of their wisdom and deliberations, and the influence of their councils on the interests •of mankind, we must acknowledge, that very rarely a more imposing and magnifi cent spectacle has been exhibited to the world; and we shall«cek 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 ’& generous people. The love of indepen dence is interwoven with the frame and constitution of the human mind. It is al most the first sentiment that animates the* infant's features in the cradle, and amongst all the actions and enterprizes of man, r.one has awakened into activity a greatei exertion of the virtuoua energies of his nature, none has excited a greater warmth of veneration, and has more imperious claims upon our gratitude, than resistance to tyranny and political oppression. In those republican states which have been the admiration of the world, the fin* tribute of genius was paid to the patriot and hero who promoted the cause of liber ty, and maintained the independence anc dignity as man. The animated canvas, •and the breathing marble snatched his features from the grasp of death, and the historian inscribed his name and achieve, menu in the imperishable records of fame. It would indeed be no favorable presage of the perpetuity of our republican insti tutions to discover an insensibility to the obligations we owe to the members of the Illustrious patrons of the American free dom. They advanced us, by their mag nanimity, from the inglorious state of co tonial subjection, and from the arbitrary dominion of a foregn power, to the dis tinguished elevation of a sovereign and in dependent people; they asserted, and maintained the imprescritible rights of hu manity, by the “ mutual pledge of their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred ho ■nor,” and as long as virtue holds her em pire in the hearts of their successors, the example df 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 common and casual transactions of life.— Ingratitude is a vice that in nations, as Well aa individuals, indicates the last de jrree of degeneracy and corruption. It ia A vice implies the absence of every vir trie; it was in the age of Caligula that the nanie of the Scipios was prescribed and the statute of Brutus brought death npon its possessor. ‘•The glory of our ancestors is the light Vjf posterity,” and the homage of the Tiv Ing cannot be offered to the merits of the illustrious dead with an ineficlual or ste rile admiration. Great and splendid ac tions will seldom be achieved by men who tjpvc humble or ordinary objects in pros pect It is by contemplating the lives and Wharaclers of those who are marked out ■from the multitude by their eminent qual Ides, that we become emulous of their virtues and their renown. It is by read ing the history of their renew n.—lt is by nailing the himory of their generous and noble actions, that sympathetic emotions are excited in the heart, and by a reitera tion of such feelings, that grandeur of sen time ut, dignity and elevation of character, Mid habits of virtue are generated and confirmed.- Lycugua clad in armour the fUtutes cf Ibc gods, that even in their de votions, the cititens of Sparta might have the images of war before their eyes; ob serving well that the disposition of the (hind, like a limb of the bouy, was invigo fated by exercise and activity. “He in terwove,” says Plutarch, “ the praise ol virtue and the contempt es vice in all theii pursuits and recreation, and by these arti they were possessed with a thirst of honor an enthusiasm bordering on insanity, am ■bad not a wish for their country.” Th« trophies of Miltiades interrupted tin rieep of Themiatocles; and I'hesus, ir listening to the exploits of Herculus, wai fired with his spirit, and became the sue cessful rivsl ot bis fame. The uncultivat ed savage catches the Ham? of emulatioi from the deeds of his ancestors, and hangs bis hut with tha emblems of his father*i t)lor. More need not be said to enforce the Utility of the publication we have under* taken, and which we now submit to the patronage of our fellow’ citizens. CONDITIONS.

THE rising importance of the State ot Alabama; its progress in wealth and Respectability, in which its sea ports so largely participate, notwithstanding the severity of the times; ■ its many advantages, both as to commerce and agriculture; and its consequent increasing weight in tne great national scale,—are circumstances which cannot but be viewed with peculiar 1 interest, by those holding frequent and I profitable intercourse with (he state, as well as by its resident citizens, and Justi -1 ty the anticipation that another commer-i dal paper, if properly conducted, will meet with the necessary patronage, at least -to preserve its existence. Under these circumstances, and cncou raged 'by the solicitations and assurances of friends in the several parts of this as well as in other states, the subscribers venture to dffer their services to their friends and the public, as editors of a new journal, princi lly relying on the exer cise of their commercial experience in one department, and that of their industry in another, to render the publication useful and amusing to their mercantile and agri cultural friends. The advantages of a well regulated press in desseminating useful information; in inculcating salutary principles, in bringing into notice new sections of coun try, and disclosing tlieir resources,—nave been too often and too ably discussed to require further comment.
