We have no authentic copy of, this most important
State Paper, fee very basis .that supports the proud co
lumn of American liberty; none, at least on which the
eye of taste can rest, for a moment, with satisfaction.—
t Wnyuav*--W* not? ‘ • .
The English nation, Still proud of their MAGNA
CHART Although evety provision it contains has been
trampled Upon by the bold ambition of their rulers, have
published edition after edition of this instrument, each
more splendid than its predecessor. Sir William Black-
Wfone has collated and commented on it. His fine copy
Of Magna GhaTta has been excelled by later *9pecimens
tif fee art; and thofac similies of the seals and signatures
■have made every reader offaste in Great-Britain acquaint-
«(^-irr some degree, not merely with the state ofknow-
Jedge.arid of art at .the period in question, but with the
literary attainments, also,* of King John, King Henry, and
their-KBarons bold.”
Surely the Declaration of American Independence is,
at least, as well entitled to the decorations of art as the
Magna Charta of England: and if the fac-similies of the
signatures Of the patriots who signed it were published
in America, it would serve to gratify a curiosity, at least
as’laudable as that which Calls for imitations of the cor
respondents of Jumus, or of the aristocracy that wrested
the English Chafterfrom the reluctant monarchs of the
'day, i * , . . .
We are firmly persuaded that the more the principles
■ of our Declaration of Independence are spread out be-
-fbre'the eyes of :the world, the more they will be admir-
ted^fey foreign nations as well as our own, and every in
nocent aadhonest device that may serve to attract at
tention toward them, will serve, also, to promote the
great cause <if. public liberty. Such an embellished edi-
-tton as will render it an ornament to an'apartment, w ill
have a tendency to spread the knowledge of its contents,
among those who would otherwise have turned
thoughts hut lightly towards the subjee’. Such aboli
tion- will serve to place it continual'- mder the eye of
man, woman and child in a family—it 11 associate the
K ’ lureable ideas of elegance and ornament witli the
ry of the transaction itself—and familiarise those
principles which form, or ought to .form, the very bond
and cement of political society. Nor is it ot small mo
ment that such an edition, well executed, will serve as a
specimen of the state of the Fine Arts amongst us as at
fee present day. Actuated by these views, the subscri
ber proposes to publish
on?

tl i« END TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
When the publisher submitted the preceding notice
of his intention to undertake this national publication, al-
' though it had long occupied hits reflections, lie was not
fully aware of its importance, for lie had never suspected
what the fact really is, that there \s no where extant an
authentic published copy of the most important State
Paper m fee annals of the world.
The original Declaration of Independence, as depo
sited in the secretary of state’s office, was happily pre
served when so many valuable papers were consumed
"by the enemy. Without dwelling upon slight differ
ences, inaccuracies, or omissions, the first words which
present themselves in our printed copies, and even us
they are of record on the Journals of the Old Congress,
are as follows:—
« A DECLARATION by the representatives of the
UNITED STATES : OF ,A3fElUCA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED,
•whereas in the Original the Declaration is thus headed—
“THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF TUE THIRTEEN UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. . .
This is not a mere verbal distinction; it involves a dif
ference in principle. Does it become Americans to be
careless on this subject, or ought interpolation or ultera-
tiori of any kind to be permitted in a public document so
sacred?, Ought it not to be faithfully preserved and
transmitted to posterity word for word, letter for letter
and point for point?
The American public will unhesitatingly answer YES!
and the publisher stands pledged to have it so engraved,
and to accompany it with the requisite proofs of authen
ticity.
The sizcofthe 'Pcfer will he thirty-six inches by twen
ty-four. It will be manufactured by Mr. Amies, fe his
best manner and of the very best materials.
*** During Bay absence from Savan
nah, for a few months, Mr. Gill, will conduct the af
fairs of the Livery Stables; Mr. Daly, the Stage Office;
and Job T. Bolles, will actus my Attorney and Agent.

Pursuant to aresolution of Council, the following re
port is published for the information of all concerned.
“The committee to whom was referred tlie considera
tion of the best mode of redeeming, investing and appro
priatingthe funds derived from the emission of corpora'
tion treasury change bills, report—tliat for the further
security of tlie lioidtfs of the said bills, tiie treasurer do
keep a separate account of the amount, issued and that
he do keep the sums in tlie treasury of the city, to enable
him to pay bills when presented to him, add that on no
occasion do lie make use of the sums so received, but for
the payment of the said bills, unless/Otherwise authorised
by special resolution of council. Your committee are of
opinion, that the aTr.ount issued is too small to enable
council to make any appropriation of the same by invest
ment in funds or otherwise to draw interest, and tiiat the
existence of these bills may be too short in their limita
tion to authorise council for the present to make any
permanent appropriation of their proceeds. Your com
mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive
for said bills, the current money of tlie city, to wit—tlie
noti-s of Banks which are not depreciated further than
the difference of exchange, and that the treasurer furnish
the committee of Finance with the amount of change bills
issued, and tlie amount on hand received for tlie same,
and that he do advertise tliat persons, holders of the
change bills, will receive payment at any time, by calling
pn the treasurer—but no sum under one dollar will be
paid. CHARLES HARRIS, Y
