P!rlaration d 4plifintantt.
When, in the course of human events. it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected
them with another, and fo assume among the
powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature and of
nature's God entitle them, sedecent respect
to the. opinions of mankind requires that
th e y should declare the causes which impel
thi ni to the helarntioll.
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men aro created condi that they arc
endowed by their Creator with certain inn-
Ha:table rigida ; that among these, are life,
liherty, and the pursuit of happiness. That
to %went e these rights, governments are iti
sattitA among men, deriving their just pow
er, from the i unseat of the governed ; that,
tvliOnever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the right of
the l ieople to alter et to itholtelt it, and to in
stitute a new go% ernnient, laying its founda
tion on such pi ineiples,-and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall stern
mo ly to edict their safey and lumpi
ness. Prmiiinee, indeed, is dictate that
goeern;nents long estaoltsbed, should not be
changed light a n d tratisirent,ealises ; and
accordingly, all expelit ticc bath shown, that
tosuland arc more disposed to stiffer, nlide

He has atslica cases government here, by de
claring us out of his protection, and waging
war against us.
He has plundered our se , ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towns, All destroyed the
lives of our people.
- He is, at this time, transporting large ar
mies of foreign mercenaries to complete the
works of death desolation and tyranny, al
ready begun, with circumstances of cruelty
and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous sires, and totally unworthy the
head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens,
taken captive on the high sere; to bear arms
against their country, to become the excel,-
boners of their friends and brethren 6r to
fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections
amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on
the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merci
less Indian Savage, whose known rule of
mesa° is en undistinguished
_destruction
of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these'oppresslons, we
hitee petitioned for redress, in the most hum.
ble terms I our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury. A prince,
whose character m thus mneks4 by every int
which may define a tyrant ; is untit to bo the
ruler of a free people.
Nor hate we been wanting in attention to
our British °brethren. We have warned
them, from tame to time, of attempts made
by their legislature to extend an unwarrant
able jurisdiction over us. We have re
minded them of the circumstances of our
emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their 'native juatice and magna
nimity, and use tiara conjured them, by the
ties of our common kindred, to disovow
these usurpations, which w ould inevitably
interrupt our connections end correspom

voice of justice and .e.intstingunuty. We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity,
which denounces our separation, and hold

Which, most. eastern men who seek for
homes in the West have gathered, and the
result is, that all the best .portions of the
,state have been taken up. So great has
been the eieltetnent with. regard tollowa,
that many personsOave flatted tirelessly

clearly evident to cry trivefter who has
paid any attention hatever, to the Illinois
country,4l4l then ompared it a ith that of

the preference for good qualities, largest

It is an undisputed feet that the timber
of low a is not of is good a quality, or as
much of ,it as that pf Illinois. The princi

Almost all of the counties from the forty

been, long since thickly settled: and hence
they are called " Old Without ex
ception, those counties are the prettiest and
beat; Wiring the most timber and vrilitr, and
the least ague and,sickness. Land lb these
counties sells at from ten to tillrt,y dollars
per acre. They raise near!? all summer
wheat in these counties, and itsi quantity,
does not in our opinion, favorably compare
with the summer wheat of Illinois. Corn,
potatoes and oats, are extinudyely raised and
of an excellent quality. The principal city
is Itavemxirt, to which pleat nearly all of
the productions of the surronsgling country

several large and beautiful holdall, edibrelies

under the supervision of this Presbyterians,'

The distance from Freeport to Blooming

and the fare is four dollars and fifteen cents.
The road passes south east through a very
pretty portion of the State, and over some
of its largest prairies, among which are the
prairies of Ogle and Leo Countidi. These
prairies, like those of Stephenson county lay
higher and roller,{, dotted here and therm
with groves and -stripes" or ash and poplar
timber. Rock river passes in a south west
ern drection through both of these cuunties,
besides a number of other smaller streams.
The itoil biof a deep black loam, whilst the
water of thesprings is limpid and of a lime

sick enough to lie down, and . yet is to un
