UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE..
IN CONGRESS; JULY 4, 1776.
WHEN, in the course of human events, it becomes •
necessary for one people to di!solve the political •
bands which have connected them with another, and •-
to assume among•the powers of . the earth the sepa-
•,
rate and equal station .to which the laws of nature
and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect
to the opinions of' mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which compel them to the sep
aration. •
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all ..
men are created equal ; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable rights •, that
among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- :
piness.
That to secure these rights, governments are in
stituted among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed ; : that whenever •
any form of government becomes destructive of •
these ends, it is' the right of the people to alter or :
to abolish it, and to institute a new government,
laying its foundation on such principles, and orga- .
nixing its powers in such form, as to thorn shall
seem most likely to affecttheirsafety and happiness. •
Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments
long established, should not be changed for light
and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experi
ence hath shown that mankind are more disposed to
suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right them
selves
by abolishing the towns to which they are
accustomed, But when a long train of abuses and •:
usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object,a
design to reduce them under absolute despotism; it
is their dirty to throw off such government, and to •
provide new guards for their future security. Such
has been the patient sufferance of these colonies;
and such is now the necessity which constrains
them to alter their former systems of government.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is
a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all
having in direct object the establishment of an ab- "•:
solute tyranny over these states, To prove this, let
facto be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused hieassent to laws the most whole
sonic and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspen
ded in their operation till his Assent should be ob-!: -
mined; and, when so suspended, he has utterly ne
glected to attend to them.
.•'He has ref used to pass other laws, for the accom
modation of large districts of the people, unless -;
those people would relinquish the right of repre. ;
sentation in the legislature—a right inestimable
them, and formidable to tyrants only..
He has called together legislative bodies, at pla
ces unusu'al, uncomfortable, and distant from the j
depository of their public records, for the sole per- ..
pose of fatiguing them into compliance with his •
measures.
Be has dissolved representative houses repeated
ly, fur opposing with manly firmness, his invasions :
on the rights of the peoples. "
He has refused, for a long time after such disso
lotions, to cause others to lie elected; whereby the.;
legislatve powers, incapable of annihilation, have
returned to the r eople at large for their exercise; I
the state remaining in the mean time exposed to all
the dangers of invasions from without and convul-;
sions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of '
these states; fur that purpose obstructing the laws
for naturalization of foreigners ; refusing to pas ,
others to encourage their migration hither, and rai
sing the conditions of new appropriations of lands
He has obstructed the administration of justice,
by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judi
ciary powers.
He iias made judges dependant on his will alone
for the tenure of their offices and the amount and
payment of their salaries,
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and
sent hither swarms of officers, to harrass our pen
ple and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, stand
ing armies without the consent of our legislature. :
He has affected to render'the military independ
ent of, and superior to, the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a
jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unac
knowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their
acts, of pretended legislation.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops , .
among us;
For protecting them by a mock trial from punish--
ment fur any murders which they should commit on
the inhabitants of these states; •.
For cutting of our trade with air parts of thes .
world;
For imposing taxes on us without our consent;
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit
of trial by jury;
For transporting us beyond the seas to be tried ;
for pretended offences;
For abolishing the free system of English laws
.•
in a neighboring province, establishing therein an
arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries,
so as to render it at once an exampre and tit instru
ment for introducing the same absolute rule into
these colonies;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most
valuable laws, and aitermg fundamentally the pow
ers of our governments;
For suspending our own legislatures, and decla
ring themselves invested with pourer 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. •
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, -
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our
people.
He is, at this time, transporting large armies of
foreign mercenaries to complete the work of death,
desolation and tyranny, already begun with eircum
-
stances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled
in the most barbarous ages, end totally unworthy
the head of a civi,ized nation.
He has constrained our fellow cititizens, taken
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their -
country, to become the eiecutioners of their friends
and brethren, or to fall themselves by thier hands.'
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst
us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants
of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose
known-rule of warfare is an undistinguished de
struction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions. we have pe
titioned far redress in the most humble terms. Dur
repeated petitions have been answered only by re
peated , injury. A prince whose character is thus
marked be every act which may define a tyrant, is
unfit to be the ru:er of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentipn .to our
British brethren. We have warned them frOm.time
to time of attempts made by their legislature to ex
tend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstance of our em
igration and settlement here, We have appealed
to their native justice and magnanimity, and we
have conjured them by the ties of our common kin
dred, to disavow these usurpations, which would
inevitably interrupt our connexions and correspon
dance. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of
justice and consanguinity. We must therefore ac
quiesce in the necessity which denounces our sep
aration, and hold them, as we hold the restof man
kind—enemies in war—in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United
States of America, in general Congress assembled,
appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for
the rectitude of our intentions, DO, in the name
and by the authority of the good people of these col
onies, solemnly publish and declare, that these Uni
ted Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and
Independent States; that they are absolved from all
allegiance to the British crown, and that all politi
cal connection between them and the State of Great
Britain is, and ought to be totally dissolved; and
that, as Free and Independent States, they have
full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract
alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other
acts and things which Independent States may of
right do. And for the support of this declaration,
with a firm reliance on Divine Providence, we mu
tually pledge to each other our LIVES, our FOR
TUNES, and our SACRED HONOR. Signed,
JOHN HANCOCK, President, and others.
The Intolerance Question
The Catholic :Mirror of this city, publishes the
report of the proceedings of the Convention for the
revision of the Constitution of New Hampshire,
and says—
"This report unequivocally proves that General
Pierce exerted his influence to have the "Religious
Test" stricken out from the constitution of his na
tive State. The charge of supporting the continu
mice of the offensive clause, has been brought
against Gen. Pierce, not from a love of Catholics
but by a set of politicians who care but little, what
slander they retail, provided it gains votes for the
party. We publish this record to show that the
cause of Catholicity must not be dragged into the
political arena to prevent men from giving him
their support on that ground. Were we to decline
publishing this proof, we would be aidng the false
charge. The Mirror has no political preferences
hence, it cannot, by its silence, sanction a falsehood
of the nature of the one now under consideration.'
The Mirror also says that it has " seen a letter
from Gen. Pierce, written to a gentleman of this
city, in which he speaks of the charge brought
against him, of aiding the retention of the " Reli
gious Test" in the Constitution of New Hump
shire."
General Pierce says—
" No.charge could be'more grciundless than this .
—my course from the first moment I entered public
life has been directly the opposite of that alleged.—.
If the falsehood has not already received its appro
priate brand, it will in due season:"
This is sufficient to brand, forever, the audacious
charge.—Baltimore Argus.
New York, July 1. —Mr. Edward Weinkle, a Ger
man merchant, doing business in William street,
was arrested by the U. S. Marshal, this morning,
on the complaint of Mr. Maxwell, the collector of
the Port, charged with defrauding the revenue by
having two invoices—one at a low rate to pass at
the Custom House, and another at real rate for his
own use. It is alleged that he has been carrying
on this business for some time. He was held to
bail in the sum of 1.10,000.
Horrible—lf True.
SINGTLiII DEVELOPMENTS BS MLTTELIIS SNIT
PINSIEL—On Monday last a Pole called at the office
of Mayor Gilpin, and desired permission to visit the
Moyamensing prison, stating that he desired to have
'a talk With the Skupinski brothers. He was in
formed that they had no authority to give such a
permit. The same person called upon :Mayor Gil
pin yesterday afternoon, and stated that he had has
an interview with the prisoners, and desired to make
a statement of what had passed between them. He
was accordingly sworn by Lieut. Buckley, and,
made the following strange developments. He said:
"I was a Captain of the cavalry in General Bern's
corps in Hungary, and now reside in this city, and
am employed in a manufactory here; I have had for.
a long time a desire to see the Skupinski, especi
ally Matthias, and to learn everything relating to
he crime charged against him. I desired to see
Matthias because I thought I could induce him to
tell me everything, and because he esteemed me,
very much. I mean that I would have great influ
ence over him. Yesterday, having obtained per
mission, I visited Matthias in his cell, in Moya
mensing prison. After some hesitation and pre-'
varication, Matthias promised to tell me the whole
truth about everything. On my askin him who'
'
killed yowl.. Lehman, he answered, `I killed him'
myself, with my own hands, by taking a leg of the
stove and striking him over the head, which killed
him at once, and tlien I threw him in the cellar.--i
there was present with me my cousin Blaise, and;
a man whom I have heretofore called Kaiser, but:
whose real name is John Rutkowsi, a butcher. i
Afterwards we three cut him up in pieces and.
put him in the bags, two of which were old bags. , '''
and one new, formed from Lehman's coat; the old
bags had feathers, (they lived on hens and geese,'
partly, which they stole and immediately plucked 4
off the-feathers to prevent their being recognized.) •
They cut the body of young Lehman with a kitchen}
knife. Blaise staid at home to clean up the blood;: .
Matthias and Rutkowsi took the bag containing the
remains of young Lehman to the river, having, be-.
fore arriving at the river, Put stones in the bags tot
sink Them. They then threw them into the river.i
The chief reason or aim was to possess themselves
of young Lehman's license to sell jewelry, and not, *
at first to kill. They had no means, and therefore'
;elt they must kill to obtain the license. :Matthias,
and the others had inquired minutely into young,
Lehman's history, his father's, mother's, 'sister's, &c.-
&c., and'every connection of his family. They in-I
tended to go to California, and set up business:
in jewelry there, and to correspond through a man,
here with young Lehman's lather, as it he [L had,
gone there. The goods which young Lehman had,, i
were not valuable, the whole not worth over $lO
Matthias said he never knew a man by the name
of Kaiser, but knew Rutkowsi—he is the man cal:
led Kaiser. Rutkowsi was in the house with them.'
He is a very short thick man, thick-set and stout.'
light hair, no mustaches or beard, large no. , e, very
fleshy in the face, florid complexion, blue eyes, very
strong. Matthias says be lives in' the woods or
mountains, near Philadelphia. On deponent's ex-'
pressing surprise, and showing it in' his looks. Mat- 4
thias observing it, said why are you surprised?
You remember that in April of last - year (1851,)
when (dept.) lived in New York, and we lived in
New York, [Matthias, Blaise and Rutkowsi,) we en-:
tered there into an agreement to buy hogs,Rutkow
ski being a butcher; but when Blaise and Rutkow-`
ski were gone out into the country, as it to buy,
hogs, they murdered and robbed everybody they,
met. Blaise, and Rutkowski killed 13 persons.
Blaise killed 11 persons, and Rutkowski 2 persons.
Their agreement was to rob and an 1 murder, their.
chief aim to obtain $lO,OOO, with which to deal in
money and jewelry in California. In Newark, N.
J., they killed a German family that is Matthias,
Blaise and Rutkowski. The lather was first killed,:
[hen the mother, and next one or two servants.—
There were three daughters, whom they violated,
before they killed. They got $73 and some jewel-,
ry. They then covered them over while'they were
on their knees praying for their lives. The house
was set on fire, and all were consumed together.—!
Matthias said this to the deponent yesterday. Mat-'
thins was willing to spare the lives of the three
girls, but Rutkowski said "if they did so they would
be witnesses against them," and then they killed ,
them.
In all cases they had with them tar and rosin,
with which they besmeared the bodies after they]
killed them, so that it the house should not be en-'
tirely consumed, they might be certain the bodies 1
w.ould burn up at all events, and the mode or way
in which such persons came by their death's would
be a secret. This family was a German family,'
and farmers. Murders of this character were com
mitted in the vicinity of Baltimore. When they
found children, they were taken by the legs and'
their brains dashed out. Rutkowski, once, by read-,
ing a paper in German (which he understood) to
Matthias and Blaise an account of a murder pub
lishea in that paper, laughingly said to Matthias
and Blaise, "nobody knows that we have done it."
llhis murder and house burning was in the neigh-,
bOrhood of Baltimore. The most of the murders
were near Baltimore. Whether the Newark was
the Newark, Del., or Newark, N. J., is not known.
to deponent. Matthias said they had killed SO per-:
:sons. He said a Mr. a Pole, living in New
ark twenty years, they understood-to have $lllO in
: the second story. and his servants $3OO in the third
. story of his home. They planned to rob and rnur
der him and his servant, but were prevented put
ting their plan into execution by some circumstan
ces.
They had collected $8.,000 in cash, and about
half a bushel of jewelry stock, and about six hun
dred watches, silver and gold, with chains and with
out. They are hid in the mountains, under the
care of Rutkowski. This Matthias.said to him:
shall not be hanged; Rutkowski has a band will free
me; he has many men, well armed; they will come
around the prison before the 6th of July, 1552,
And try to get in; the keeper who comes to the door
will be killed, and then they will rush in and libe
. rate me and Blaise." He said he had communica-
tion with Rutkowski; Mathias said he had a poig
nard and $200; he wanted a razor and sissors from
deponant to shave and prepare himself with. Their
plan is to go to Liverpool after getting out of pris
on, in the way spoken of, take their money with
them, leaving their watches behind. They have
a vessel in view now in which to sail to Liverpool.
On the night they get out of prison, they
,have
some half dozen houses to rob and kill. and after
wards to gd to Newark, and kill ' • '
and rob him, and then go to New York. The per
' ons to be killed after the liberation of the brothers
Skupinski are as follows:
• ******
(Among those to be slaughtered were the two offi. I
cers who arrested them, and a black man who was
a witness against them, besides the richest jeweler',
in • ' " street.) The jeweler referre&
to is the one at whose house lives an old shoemaker,'
with whomtrßutkowski made a contract to rent a
room, for which he was to pay $llO. "He was to
kill the old shoemaker as a pars of the plan. They.
ad all three sworn to the two extremities of either
being rich altogether or be hanged.
They had burned between 30 and 40 houses al
together. Mathias asked deponent if he wanted
money, that be (M.) could give him $200; but de
ponent declined. He also said, that if deponent
told of it—what is here said—he(deponent) would
be killed also."
We give the above affidavit for what it is worth
There are certain points in it which are altogethe
improbable. while other parts are plausible.

DENIAL OF THE ABOVE
PIIILADELPAULA, June 30, 1852.—The court in
terpreter had an interview with Matthias Skupin
ski this morning, who now strenuously denies hay
ing made such disclosures as have been sworn to
by his fellow countryman which set forth that he
(S.) had murdered upwards of eighty persons and
burned thirty houses since his arrival in this coun
try. He demands to be confronted with the informer
Ile latter is a man of good reputation, a workman
at Cornelius' gas fixture factory, and apparently
could have. no object in thus hoaxing the public.
and perjuring himself.
BACK Anus.—The relief notes which were so
distressingly scarce while the Legislature was in :
session, and their absence was needed as an argu
meet in favor of an issue of small notes, now That
the Legislature has adjourned and the prospect of
the issue of a fresh batch of shinplasters is indefi
nitely postponed, are back again,
about as plenty.
and quite as ragged, dirty and filthy as ever.
The condition of , this part of our circulating.
mealum and the abundance of our counterfeits, de
mands of the next Legislature cancellation or a re
issue.
In the present abundance of the precious inetals,,
, he presence of such a worthless and disgusting
currency should not be tolerated.—Keystone.
BOLD RODDEDT.—On last Thursday night, we
onderstand that ten disguised men went to the house'
of Mr. Henry. Root of East Huntingdon twp., and
while 6 watched outside, four of the villains effect
,e,l an entrance into the house and tied the inmates;
and robbed Mr. R. of about $5OO, and also took'.
about $6O froln a drover who was lodging in the
house at the time. When the alarm was given the
'Drover handed a little boy his pocket book contain-`
ing about $lOOO, who took it to the garret and then'
'concealed himself and thus saved the drovers mon-..
ey. Acti• , e measures were taken to arrest the of,
fenders, and two have already been arrested on sus- -
picion, and are now confined in jail. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of others, but they
have as yet evaded the officers. We trust the whole
gang will yet be arrested and handed over to jug.

Trio/ of Reaping Machines.—A trial of one of Mr.
McCormick's celebrated reaping machines took
place on Thursday last in the vicinity of Washing
ton, at which a number of the members of the late'
National Agricultural Convention were present..
It operated most satisfactorily, one machine, pro
pelled by two horses and attended by two men,
performing the work of a score of reapers in a bet
ter manner than it could have been done by hand.
A trial of different kinds of reaping and mowing
machines is to take place on Webnesday, the 7th
of July, on the farm of Col. Ltorn, near Easton,
Md„ under fife direction of a Committee of the
Maryland State Agricultural Society. The object
is to subject to a practical test the merits of the
different machines presented, and the occasion will
no doubt elicit a considerable degree of interest,
and be largely attended by the farmers of this Stat
—Baltimore .dnzerican.
New York, June 28.—Extensive forgeries of land
warrants having been discovered here on Saturday,
the following arrests were made of suspected par

Capital Canting West.—The St. Louis Intelligen
cer estimates that within a period of five years al
most, more than thirty millions of Eastern capital
will find its way West, in constructing the gigan.
tic railroads that are now in progress in the States
'of Missouri. Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin and Indiana.
. More DESTRUCTIVE Hunt STORM.—A corres-:
pondent of the Ledger, writing from Kishacoquillas'
Valley, Mifflin co., describes a storm of Hail, Rain
and Wind, which occurred there on the 2 tst alt.,'
destroying every thing before it. The track of the
storm was about seven miles broad. Alter its pas-;
sage the hail lay in places where it collected from
fifteen to eighteen inches deep. The greater part of
the hailstones, it is believed, were the size of hulled
walnuts. The wheat and rye is greatly injured ;.
many of the fields the farmers are going to cut
with the scythe, and make hay of it, and some,
fields are so bad that they are not going to cut it'
at all. The corn, it is leered, in places, is utterly
,destroyed, the stalk being so tender that a great
part of it is cut entirely off with the hail. The
%fruit and fruit-trees have suffered greatly from the'
effects of the storm. The sides of the young fruit.
'trees that were next to the storm are battered so'
bad that the bark is off in many places, and what
is on it is feared is bruised so bad as to kill the
trees. Apples and other frui - , are in many places
knocked all off. Many of the houses of the neigh- .
..borhood have from twenty to one hundred and
- fifty lights broken out of the windows. Persons
;who unfortunately were caught out in the storm:
were hurt badly, their flesh being bruised so badly
that it turned black in places. It was most destruc
`.tive in the vicinity of Perryville.
AWFUL CkLextrri.—Since our connection with
the press, we have never been called upon to record
a more truly painful and awful catastrophe—one .
which carries with it a more sad and impressive a: :
lesson—than that which occurred in our midst on;
Sunday afternoon last. The four-horse omnibus
belonging to the Livery Stable of Mr. J. J. Stein,',
while returning from Worman's Spring, with a load:
which we have heard variously estimated at from
thirty-seven to forty three persons, was upset over
the high bank at the first rise 01 the hill above the ,
Spring, and two boys killed; another had both legs . : .
broken, a fourth had his leg and collar-bone broken;
a number of others, men and boys, were more or:
less seriously injured, oral indeed the balance ot the'
load narrowly escaped with their lives. The boys
killed were Llewellen Shantz, a bright intelligent
- lad of about 12 years ot age, the son 01 Mr;. Shantz,
of this borough, and a boy named Henry Heft. A
son of Jonas Reinsmith had both legs broken, and
a son of Oliver Snyder had hisleg and collar-bone
broken. These and a number of others, were on,
;he top ot the omnibus—the inside being crammed
full.—Allentown Democrat.

A RECOMMENDATION TO TRY THE OXI
GENATED BITTERS.
GUILDHALL, September 29, 1542
I hereby certify, that for about fifteen years I was: ‘ ;
greatly afflicted with that distressing malady, Dys
pepsia. The disease had attained to such a degree,..
that The most simple food caused great distress.—
EVIy bowels became so costive, and such was their
derangement that no evacuations would take placer,
for days, say from fi ve to twelve, and sometimes ;
fourteen, without the aid of laxative medicines. I
was daily troubled with severe headache and water
brash, or copious discharge from the stomach of a 7
liquid which was. more acid than vinegar; and such
was the wasting away of flesh and strength, as
unfit me for the discharge ofshe ordinary business ,
or life ' and render life a burden. Various reme-,i
dies had been resorted to, and physicians consulted::
but relief was not obtained, until I procured of Mr
George B. Green, of Windsor, Vt., some of his:
"Oxygenated Bitters," which I used more or less::
"for about six months, and which, under the blessing
of a kind Provdence, restored me to a good degree
of health and strength. Heaving been thus resto
red to health by these "Bitters," and feeling a sym—
pathy for those similarly afflicted, I would earnestly .
recommend the dyspeptic sufferer to make trial 01
this safe and sovereign remedy, as I have done sev
era, and at all times, since I have learnod its true
virtue. GEO. A. REED.

Pearl Powder
THE object of this Cosmetic is to harmonize and
soften the character of the complexion. Being
an article entirely different from and much superior
to ordinary powder, it requires a small quantity in
its application, and yet so identifies itself with the
natural appearance as to be imperceptible to the ni
cest observer. To thdse ladies particularly who
'are subject to flushes of the face or neck, tosuch as
are exposed to habitual or occasional agitations,
whether nervous or otherwise, the Pearl Powder
affords harmless, effectual and most welcome relief;
it is also very cool and rclikshing in warm weatner.
TOILET POWDER
The Toilet and the Nursery bear equal testimony
to the value of this article,; in both it is justly es.
teemed indispensable. To cool the surface of the
skipto conceal the effect of agitation—to allay
chafing and irritation, are its functions. The pro
prietor directs his attention to secure purity and
sweetness in the selection of the ingredients as well
as neatness and exactness in its preparations.

This Seed Planterqmws the grain with perfect

Dr. J. C. Ayer,—Sir t I have been afflicted with
a painful affection of the lungs, and all the symp
toms of settled consumption, for more than ayenr.
I could find no medicine that would reach my case,
until 1 commenced the use of Your "Cherry Pec
toral," which gave me gradual relief, and I have
been s'eadily gaining my strength till my health'is
well nigh restored.
While using your medicine, I had the gratifica

Truman. of Sumpter District, who had been sus

of bronchitis.
I have pleasure in certifying these facts to you,

CHESTER, Pa., Aug. 22, 1846.
J. C. Ayer,—Sir: I was taken with a terrible
cough, brought on by a cold, in the. beginning of
last February, and was confined to my bed more
than two months. Coughing incessantly night and'
day, I became ghastly and pale, my eyes were sun
ken and glassy, and my breath very short. Indeed,
I was rapidly failing, and in such distress for breath
that but little hope for my recovery could be en
tertained. White in this situation, a triend of
mine, (the • Rev. John Keller, of the Methodist
church) brought me a bottle of your Cherry Pecto
ral, which I tried more to gratify him, than from
any expectation of obtaining relief. Its good effect
nduced me to continue ite use, and I Boon found
my health much improved. Now in three months,
.I am well and strong, and can attribute my cure
only to your great meicine.
With the deepest gratitude, yours, &c.,
