To the very last, many of the lead ing men were hopeful of a peaceful settlement of the difficultiea. Wash ington wati.FM of these; tti hi I e ttenry land others, of n imptdsive spirit early predicted and advocated, not merely a deliverance from bonds, but a severance of allegiance from Eng. land. "A total and final separation from the mother country began, meanwhile, to be publically discussed. That encountered strenuous opposi tion but was every where making rapid progress." yew Hampshire and South Caroli na in obeaktnec to the reeom inenda- Oen of Congress "±.O establish such a form of government" as would "best produce the happiness of the people, and most offer; unity secure peace and good order in the provinces," set up governments. On the other hand, the assemblies of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, were instruct ing their delegates in Congress to 'dia. tent from and utterly reject-,,any prop osition, should such be made, that may cause or lead to separation from our mother country. Events were eonstant,ly occurring, however, which powerfully affected the people. "Funmor's ravages, in Virginia," says, Hildreth, "ami tory insurrections in North Carolina, gave a strong impulse to the idea of inde pendence in the Southern provinces, while the evacuation of Boston great ly strengthened the friends of that measure in the North." The publications of Thomas Paine were arousing the people as much as anything else. They were freely cir culated over the land, and even public ly read to the soldiers. We give a passage from his pamphlet entitled, "Common Sense" which appeared ear ly in 1770. "It matters little now," he declares, "what the King of Eng lanb either says or does. He bath broken thrOugh every moral and hu man obligation trampled Nature and conscience beneath his feet; and by a steady and constitutional spirit of insolence and cruelty, produced for himself a universal hatred. It is-now the sentiment of America to provide for herself. * * * Independence is the only bond that will tie and keep us together: We shall then see our object; and our ears will be legally shut against the schemes of an intrig uing as well as cruel enemy." The North Cariolina delegates were now authorized to join with the other colonies "in declaring independence;'' and Virginia delegates were instruct cd to propose that the United -Colo 'lies be declared 'free and independent States." The Assemblies of Massa ehusetts, Rhode Island, and Connec ticut, also favored the measure. On the 7th of June, 1776, the sub- l ject came up in Congress. Richard Henry. Lee, of Virginia, offered a resolution declaring "that the United Colonies, aro and ought to be, free and independent States : that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all polit ical • connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." This resolution was debated the next day in Committee of the whole. It was sustained by Lee, Wythe, and "very earnestly by John Adams." The op position came from Dickinson, Fenn syhiania. Livingston, of New York, and Rutledge, of South Carolina. It was objected to "not as bad, but pre mature." It was passed in commit tee by a vote of seven to six : and in the House, action was postponed until the first of July. Meanwhile a committee was appointed to draft a Declaration of Independence. The members were Jefferson, John Adams Franklin, Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston. In regard to the preparation of the paper. ii.dams gives the following interesting account c "Mr. Jefferson had been now about a year a member of Congress, but had attended to his duty in the House a Very- small- part of the time; and when there ho had never spoken in public. During the whole time I sat with him in Con gress, I never heard him utter three sentences together. "It will naturally be inquired how it happened that be was appointed on a committee of such importance There were more reasons than - one. Mr: Jefferson had the reputation of a masterly pen : he had been chosen delegate from Yirglnia in conse- Ositt gotttg.

An . other reason was that Mr. R. H. Lee was not belOved by roost of his col leauges, from. Virginia, arid Mr: . Jef ferson was sent up to rival and sup 7 plant him. This could be. ,done by the pen, for Mr. Jefferson COuld stand ho Competition with him, or any one else, - in elocution and pubfic debate:— The committee hadiseVeraA meetings, in which were proposed the articles of which the Declaration was to con sist, and iniehtes made of them. The I committee then appointed Mr. Jeffer- I son and me to draw them up in form and clothe them in a proper dress.— The sub-committee met and consider ed the minutes, making such observa lions on them as occurred: when Mr. Jefferson desired me to take them to my lodgings and make a draft of them. This I declined, and gave several rea sons for so doing. "Ist. That he was a Virginian, and I a Massachusettsian. 2. That he was a Southern man, and I a North ern' One. 3. That I had been so ob. noxious for my early and constant zeal in the measures that any draft of mine would undergo a more severe scrutiny and criticism in Congress than one of his composition. 4. And . lastly (and that would be reason enough if there were no other,) I had a great opinion of the elegance of his pen, and none at all of my own. I therefore insisted that ho hesitation shotild be made on his part. He ac cordingly took the minutes, and in a day or two produced to me the draft, Mr. Jefferson liVed in Philadelphia at the house of Mrs.Clymer, on the south-west corner of Seventh and High streets: Here the Declaration oflndependence was composed. Some change took place io position of the delegates. Touching their assent to a declaration of indepdenenee, during the interval before a report came froM the Committee. Those from Pennsylvania were left uncontrolled by instructions from the assembly and those repressaating New Jersey and Maryland were instructed •to vote for the declaration. The corn mittee reported on the Ist of July.— In Committee of the Whole, the Dec laration received the vote of nine col onies—the delegates from New York declined voting, as they bad no in structions. Delaware was divided ; Pennsylvania stood three for, and four against, the measure, and South Car olina one for and three against it-- Several important paragraphs in the original draft were stricken out. One of those was some bitter declaration regarding the encouragement of the slave-trade by the King. On the fi• nal vote, two Pennsylvania members absented themselves giving the vote of that colony in the affirmative. Cm sar Penney, of Delaware, was enable to decide the vote of that province af ffrinatiwky, and SoUth Carolina threw her vote the same way. The Journal of Congress for the 4th of July; 1776, rends thus : 'Agree ably to the order of the day, the Con gress resolved itself into.a CoMmittee of the Whole to take into their fur ther consideration the Declaration; and after some time, the President resumed the chair, arid. Mr. Elarrison reported that the ethninittee have agreed to a declaration, which they desired him to report. The Declara tion being read, was agreed to as fol : lows,' etc., etc. Says Dildreth : 'lt was now order ed to be engrossed on pareh ment, and was subsequently signed by all the delegates then present,inelnding sev eral who were not members at the time of the adoption. These signa. tures were attached on the 2d of Au gust. The only member who did not sign it was, Dickinson, the' Pen nsy/- vania delegate. ‘The domineering spirit of the Brit- , ish ministry and nation, on the one hand,' remarks the historian, 'the ar dor of resistance to the exercise by the mother country of the taxing power on the other, brought to a fo cus by the attempt to coerce Massa. chosetts, and kindled into a blaze by the Lexington fight, hat! precipitated a contest, the length, the sacrifices, the labors, the costs of which, none at that time atall foresaw. The min istry hoped to awe the ttolonlem into speedy submission. The coloniallead ers looking only at the bright side of their prospects, flattered themselves that one or two campaigns would fin. ish the war; and whether the con nection with Great Britain continued or not, would secure on a firm foun dation the rights of the colonies.' In the steeple of the State House, in Philadelphia, was a bell, which is still preserved as a most interesting relic of the revolution. • It was the recast in this country, in 1753, of one imported from England, and which cracked upon its first ringing. It bore the singularly appropriate inscription: 'Proclaim liberty throughout the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.' The I earliest knowledge of the adoption of ' the Declaration of Independence was, conveyed to the - multitude congrega ted about the State House by the soft and joyful notes of this bell, thus ear ly dedicated to the cause of freedom. It was the morning that the gray haired -hell ringer ascended to his place . He *as an earnest patriot, and hoped that day to ring out from his old bell the tidings of declared In dependence. With him, to the State House, cam s an intelligent - looking, blue-eyed boy. This was his grand son. Reaching the steeple,-bothW ere for sometime occupied with-00.love ly scenes of city and Ootintryi- Which stretched before them. Looking4own, however, the boy noticed th — e — CrOwd already collecting in the vicinity. 'WHOLE NO. 632. - , he said, , what is today?' 'To day,' replied the aged man, as he straggled With suddwily aroused emotion.„ qo-day, my boy, I pray, with all my soul, Ditty be the birth day of a nation.' .Will -the tannons 'firer 'Ay, they will thunder as they nen er.did before in America.' . will you ring the bell?' 'Will 1 ring it 7' cried the old man. 'Yes, I will ring it, until the despot across the sea shall treMtkle on his throne.' ¶May I help?' 'God Plcss,you, my boyl' exclaimed the grandfather,, embracing the 'Ccrtitinly you may! The bell.ringer accordingly arrang• cd that the boy should wait at the door of the chamber which Con. gross was assembled and receiving notice of the: adoption of the Decla ration, was to communicate the fact, so that the bell ;could be instantly ruing. . • The boy. fah'l3 4 7atiticed about with delight as the plan was explained to him. He attached much importance to the position:of his grandfather as bell-ringer; and he now comprehend ed that some great event was likely to occur. will not stir fr6m the door, grand pa,' he said; ''no, not one inch.' 'Not until they tell you America is dedlitred free: Thus impressed, and with.a proud air, the:boy descended to the lower part of the building. A little senti nel, he stood composed and patient in the door of the Congressional Chainher, intent to do his duty. We pass within the portals. The debate on the grave question of the hour is progressing. Every fact is serious, and the solemnity of thi3 Scene is such that it seems almost a sad one: Every word is well con sidered before it is uttered ; the eyes flash :And the voices tremble with feel ing, but never with fear. There is Hancock, already proclaim ed by the minions of the king as a a -rebut beyond the pale: of mercy. But he sits here stern, inflexible, and unfaltering in his devotion to liberty: The great Spirit was upon him, such as indund the temark, when signing the Deck - Milieu of Independence : 'There, John Bull can read that name without spectacles. Now, let him dou. blo his reward.' Observe John -Ad ams; he watches every countenance, he does not lose a single syllable of the debate, he can be satisfied with nothingshmt Of independence. There is Jefferson ; he is not disturbed, be. cause alterations are made in his pa per; for he finds that, in the main. his eclaration of Grievances will be endorsed—perhaps ambitious fame.— And there, speaking, is Richard Hen ry Lee; he rises to lofty flights of el oquence; he thunders against the tyranny of the mother country, and sends a thrill through the assemblage as he pictures the future of free Amer ica. Venerable and calm sits Benja min Franklin ; no one knows better than himself the mighty consequen ceS depending upon these delibera tions. But he is ready to defy the wrath of crown and parliament.— There is the talented, patriotic Rut ledge.. lie thinks N ew England and Virginia - too hasty. Justice may yet he done: But, he is with them in sen timents, heart and arm. Meanwhile the boy kept his post. Hours passed, and yet be did not al low himself .to think that he was growing tired. lie only thought how happy he should make his grandfath er when he carried the news up to the steeple. The old man was becoming very anxious. He listened for the foot- Steps of the boy, but they came not. He began to fear that the bell must rcmaitr silent after all. • , Will Ate) , (lo it ?' he questioned to , Will they do it?' . He looked down upon the great throng below, and saw the sea of up. turned faces of the people awaiting the signal of the bell. Would' that he could strike it. 'Proclaim liberty throughout all the land,' he repeated, reading, as he so often did, the inscription on the bell—canto all the inhabitants there of. God knows I stand ready.' He walked back and forth; he gazed from the window-he shook rlis head despondingly to the crowd. 'They will never do it 1' he mur murred. 'They will newn• do it I' The multitude, that'day, exhibited some peculiarities. Although vast in numbers, still there was no noise or disorder. They stood packed about the doors of the State House, and io groups, conversing; but with salons countenances, and in low tones.— They listened and listened for the b e ll. Turning their gaze upward, they saw the aged bell•ringer its he shook his head diScOdragingly. 'The hours roll on !' said one. 'There must be strong opposition l' remarked a second. 'Such a declaration. should not be hasty r urged an elderly man. 'Well I'm for independence!' cried yoUng person. 'lndependence!' 'lndependence!' This thrilling, stirring li-ord was repeated from mouth to mouth.— They pronounced it like a defiance and a vow. The Declaration of Independence had now been reported from the com mittee to the House. The Secretary read it, in the midst of the deepest attention and silence on the part of the delegates._ They bent forward to catch every word ; for every word bad a meaning full of import. They were creating a nation--they were assailing .a king•and his government. A panting, heated man entered:the t haunt giaitttiont. A FAMILY PAMIR FOItTOWN,AND COUNTRY, IS PRINTED AND. :WEEKLY By WK.

The new comer was Caesar Rodney, of Delaware: His ar , rival would give the vote of that prat: ince for the Declaration. Mr. Dick: inson and another delegate from Penn sylvania were away, and its Vote was also secured. The friends of liberty were already exultant. It was two o'clock in the aftertintTh when the final vote was taken. An impressive stillness prevailed as the secretary announced the adoption of the Declaration by the vote of every colony. There was no outburst of feeling; but there were many who found tears of joy trickling down their cheeks. America was toleronlV declared free: Btit the' blue eyed ,boy has gond speedinl , to the stpeele. He is in pain before ho has accomplished half the distance; but although he keels he will not stop.

"Ringt—ring!" exclaimed the boy entering, and falling from exhaustion: "God be pfaisedl" shouted the old hell-ringer. Seizing the iron tongue of the bell j the old man swung it against the speaking metal.—The sound rose clear and joyous to the awaiting mul titude. Louder and louder rang the bell, ottonger and stronger came the shouts of the people, and then the boo Ming of many cannon. For more than two hours the bell continued to ring. Its peals were wafted ovet• the city, and were an sWefed by the throbbing of the thod , sands upon thousands of patriotic hiearts. In the evening there were bonfires and an illumination. On the Bth Of the month there was a formal celebration for the event: Om this occasion the king's arms, in the court-room in the State House, were torn . down and burned in the street. There was a great celebra: tion in Boston on the 17th inst.

It is not every case of assault and battery that has so fortunate a ter= min ation as that of --7versus-- , - ; which cante off on the curbstone a few days since, and was very near being made the subject of a protracted law , suit. Within the last three months an old mouser whose physiognomy has been for many years familiar in public places, and especially at the theatres, where he is so well known that the doorkeeper mistake him for. an editor and pass him in free—fell desperately in love with a sparkling eye and handsome waist at Maguire's, By perseverance our clictialier soon became acquainted with the object of his sudden flame, who was the daugh. ter of a well known politician, then absent at Sacramento—said politician -being especially famous for his fight; ing qualities and for his high South' ern notions of family honor. A. couple of months have passed, during which the Major had become a constant visitor, each visit having only riveted more firmly the bonds in Which he was - held, that adventu rous person began to consider in what manner it was best to open his butte; ries, with a view to making a similar impression upon his enchantress.—: His first offeringwas a boquet, but not being posted in the language of flowers, he gut the thing all wrong to start with, and instead of a symboli cal letter full of explanations of hie passion, he managed by careless se , lections to present the lady with a floral offering. conveying sentiments anything but complimentary to the recipient. Ile next tried the literary line, and sent her a handsome bound volume,- which proved on inspection to be one of Peter Parley's familiat stories for Children, and the Major somehow or other saddled himself af ter that with the name of "Peter."-= But love is blind, and in this ease the victim fully carried out the adage.= At litst he resolved upon a vigoreus assault, such as no citadel could with; stand; and accordingly proceeding to a bird fancier's lie there selected a costly songster, which he duly label; , cd and caused to be conveyed with a note to the residence of his adored. At the same time the Major observed a naturalist who appeared to be as much interested in the study of orni. thology as himself, but he gave' the subject no attention, little thinking to what results the rencontre would lead, until subsequent events brought the matter rather forcibly to blind. The same evening the Major dress.‘ ed himself in his best;_ he was "got: geously arrayed" in the choicest of Parisian clothing and was a peram bulating casket of rare perfumes and cosmetics. Hie glass told him he was irresistible, and so he was—fur a good, hearty laugh. The Major rang the bell and was inVited in. Ho found his charmer alone in Ow parlor, but was some what chilled with his reception. He had resolved, however, Upon lcie,aking the ice, and accordingly began his important disclosure at once, without even the customary allusion to the weal her. Without opening her lips the lady retreated to a -rear apartment, from which she soon emerged bearing a cage over which was hastily thfoWn a handkerchief. The Major's heart throbbed convulsively in his bosom. It was the- critical moment in his Hs.
