The breaking waves dashed high On a stern and lock bound const, And tho woods against a stormy sky Their glaut brancbos tossed 1 And the heavy night hang dark The hills and waters o'er, When a band ot exiles moored their bark On tbo wild New England shore. Not as tho conqueror comes, They, tho trae bcarted. came 1 Not with tha roll of tbo stirring drams, And tbe trumpet that sings of fame t Not as the flying como, In silence and lu fear 1 They shook tho depth of the desert gloom With their hymns of lofty cheer. Amidst the storm they sane;, Aud tbo stars board, nnd the bob i And the sounding aisles ot the dim woods rang To tbe autbem ot the free. The ocean etgle soarod Fi om bis nost by the white wave's foam, And tho rocking pines of tbe forest roared, Tftls was their welcome home.

When, In tlio course of human events, It becmnos nccusiary, for one people to tllfsolve tiie political bands which have connected tliem with another, ana to nssumo, among tho powors of the earth, tho separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God ontltlo them, a decent respect to the opinion of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Wo hold tin-so truths to be self-evident, that all men aro created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ; that anionr; theaa are life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are Institu ted among men, deriving their just pow ers from tho consent of the governed j that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it Is the right of the people to alter or abolish It, and to Institute a new government, laying Its foundations on such princi ples, and organizing Its powers In such fOi'in, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety anil happiness. Prudenee, iudeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed tor light and transient causes ; anil accordingly, all experience hath shown, that Biankind are more dis posed to suffer, while ovils are suffer abla, than to right themselves by abol ishing tho forms to which they aro ac customed Hut,, when a long train of abuses and uncurpatlons, pursuing in variably tho same object, evinces a de sign to reduce tliom under absolute de spotism, it is their right, it Is their duty, to throw off such government, and to prnvldo now guards for their future se curity. Sucli has been the patient suf ferance ot these colonies, and such Is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of govern ment. The history of the present king of Great Britain Is a history of repeated Injuries and usurpations, all having, tn direct object, tho establishment of en absoluto tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world : lie has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended In their operations till his assent should bo ob tained ; and when so suspended, helms utterly neglected to attend to them. He has rofused to pass other laws for tbo accommodation ot large districts of people, unless those people would re linquish tho right of representation In the legislature ;'a right Inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. lie lias called .together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomforta ble and distant from the repository' of tholr public records, for tbe sole pur pose of fatiguing them into compliance With his measures. lie has dissolved representative bouses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his Invasions on tbe rights of the people. lie has refused, for a long time after each dissolutions, to cause others to be elected j whereby the legislative pow ers, Incapable of annihilation, have re turned to the people 'at largo for their exercise ; tbo State remaining, In the meantime,- exposed to all the dangers of Invasions from without, aud convulsion within. 1 "He has, .endeavored to prevent tbo population of these States ; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foielgners ; refu3ing to pas's nttiers tp;encourage thClr migra tion tilth ir, and raising the couditions of new appropriations ot lands. Tie has obstructed thn administration of Justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. lie has mndo Judges dependent on his own will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and pay ment of their salaries. Ho has erected a multitude of new officers, nnd sent hither swarms of offi cers to harass out- peoplo, and eat out their substance.. Ho has kept among us In times of peace, standing armies, without tho consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render tho military Independent of, aud superior to, the civil power. II 0 has comblnod, with others, to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions, and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his assent to their acts of preteuded legislation t For quartering largo bodies of armed troops among us : For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment, for any murders wfilch thoy should commit on the In habitants of theee States : For 'cutting off our trado with all parts of the world : For Imposing taxes on us without our consent : For doprivlng us, In many cases, of tbe benefit of trial by Jury : For transporting us beyond saas to be tried for pretended offences : For abolishing the froe systom of En glish laws In a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary gov ernment, ond enlarging Its boundaries, so as to render It at once an examplo and fit Instrument for Introducing the same absnluto rule Into these colonies : For taking away our charters, abol lshing our most valuable laws, and al tering, fundamentally, the forms of our governments : . For Suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves Invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. Ho has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and de' stroyod the lives of our people. ne Is, at this time, transporting largo armies of foreign mercenaries to com plete the works of death, desolation and tyrRnny, already begun, with circum stances of cruelty and pefidy scarcely paralelled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civi lized nation He has constrilnod our fellow-citizens', taken captive on tho high seas to bear arras ngalnst. their country,- to become the executioners of their friends and brethern, or to fall themselves by tbelr hands. He ha4 exalted domestic Insurrection among us, and has endeavored to bring on tho Inhabitants of onr fron tiers, the merciless Indian savages, whoso known rule of warfare is an un distinguished destruction, of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, wo nav6 petitioned for rpdress, In the most humble terms ; our repeated peti tions have beon answered only by re peated Injury. A prince, whose char acter Is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, Is unfit to be tbo ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting In our attentions to our British brethero. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to ex tend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of tho cir cumstances of our emigration and set tlement here. Wo have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we havo conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow theso usurpations, which would Inevi table Interrupt our connections and correspondence. Tlioy, too, have been deaf to tho voice of justice and of con sanguinity. We must therefore, ac quiesce in the necessity, which denoun ces our separation, and hold them, as we.hold the rest of mankiud, cnemios In war, In peace, friends. We, therefore, tho representatives of the Uuited States of America, in general Conhress assembled, appeal ing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of cur Intentions, do, In the name', and by the authority of the good people of those colonies, sol -eirinly publish and declare, That those United Colonies aro, and of rightought tO be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATF.S J that they are absolved from ell allegi ance to the British crown, and that all political connection between thero and the State of Great Britain, Is, and ought to be, totally dlsolved ; and that, as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full power to lovy' war, conclude peace, contract alliances, established commerce, and do all other acts and thlugs which independent states may of right do. Aud, for the support of this declaration, with a firm rellapca on the protection of divine provi dence,, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. During tho recent moetings some handbills were printed In one ot tha neighboring towns headed "Ho I for the new Jerusalem." It ,seeins that one of them got over Into Salsbury and created couslderable excitement, there, - as most of the prominent citizens havo been writing to ask where the place Is situated, nnd wlimliur If a man went there to; work,, 'by tho day he would be able to get home Sundays.Norwicb Bui 1 letltt. 7
