THE DECLARATION OF INDEPEND
ENOE
IM
On the 7th, of June, 1776, Richard
Henry Lee, of Virginia, with the au
thority of hiwState, proposed in Con
gress "That these United 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 polit
ical connection wtween them Wand
the State of Great Britain is, 'and
ought to be, totally dissolved." The
resolution was seconded by John
Adams, and the next day appointed
for its consideration. At the ap
pointed time, an animated debate
took place 'Toff Mr. Lee's resolution.
The proposition was opposed by Liv
ingston, of 'New . York,. and Dickin
son; of Pennsylvania, but was strong
ly defended 'by JohitAdams "as .a
measure of most stupendous magni
tude, in which the lives and liberties
of - inillionsyet unborn were • inti
mately interested, as the consumma
tion of a revolution, the most com
plete, unexpected and unreasonable
of any in the history of nations."
The discussion was prolonged Until
7 in the evening,
and then postpOned
until the next Monday. Upon that
day Rutledge, of South Carolina.
who was opposed to the resolution,
moved that the question' be deferred
for three weeks. The desire to attain
a: perfect unanimity, and the.reasona
bleness of allowing the delegates as
far as possible to consult theiTreon
stituents, led the majority to favor
thiS postponement, but with the con
dition that a committee of five should
in the meantime prepare a declara
tion in harmony with the proposed
resolution. Jefferson, John Adams,
Franklin, Shernian, and
. Livingston
were chosen by ballot to ]prepare. the
declaration.
The morningf the first of July
was the time sk apart for conshter
ing the . ;. Ilesion of Indeliendenee.
The great occasion: bad brought to
gether' great' men. Many of them .
were sagacious statesmen, reaching
their conclusions 'with careful delib
eration, though living in a. stormy
time, and stirred from, without by
the most e yiting causes. Most of
them liyed to a great age—to sixty,
seventy; and even eightyyears. They
lived to see great results as the fruit
of their deliberation. Every colony .
was found to be'represented, and al'
but one had received full powers of
action. Massachusetts in the previ
ous January, . South - Cai'olina in
March, and Georgia in April had
given iirstructions favoring the ques t
tion of Independence. Virginia on,
the 15th of May had given positive
direction to her delegates to propose
Independence, and by a circular let
ter she had communicated the decis
ion to her sister colonies. The move
ment in Virginia was seconded in
'Connecticut on the 14th of .June, in
New-Ilampshire on the 15th, and in
New4ersey on the 21st of the same
month.
Among the first order of buSiness
which Congress had to consider upon
this morning of July Ist, was the
reading of a letter from Uen. Wash
ington. lie reported the whole num
ber of men fit for duty at between
seven and eight thousand. Their fire
arms were in a bad condition, 1,400
muskets r having bad lonks, anti' 800
none at all. With this small, and
poorly-eqiupped force, the General
must defend extensive lines against
the 30,000 veterans of Hawes army.
At the same time word came from
Gen. Lee.that Clinton was threaten
ing Charleston. 1 7 pon the order ' of
the day being read, CongresS resolv
ed itself into a committee_ of the
whole. For a few minutes there was
perfect silence—every one feeling the
respcinsibility "of considering the
most important question' ever figi r
tate& in the assembly. Ih the ab
sence of the mover, Mr. Lee, who
was away .on duty in hiS own colony,
all eyes were turitcd toward the sec
onder, John Adams. Being Called
out, he made an unpremeditated and
Vigorous speech in favor . of Inde
pendence 'Dickinson, of Pennsylva
nia, opposed the resolution; \ while
Witherspoon, of Near-Jersey,' urged
that the Country was fully ripe for
the groat; deei l sion,. that delay alone
was fraught With peril. The resolu
tion was sustained by nine colonies,
but at the request of Rutledge, 4.
s.outh. Carolina, .the final determ.na-
Lion was put off Until the next day;
On the 2d of July
.Pennsylvania,
Delaware and South Carolina jollied
the nine, so that, all the colonies ext.
(nit - Nsw
.York t whose delegate 4
TOWAN4 BRAT TORD OUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17,1876.
were n.t yet empowered to 'Vote,
t‘ Resolved, that these United Colo
nies are, -and of right ought tO be,
Independent States." , The resolution
being Passed, it remained for ' the
Committee of five to bring in their
paper setting forth the reasons of the
act. 1
Thomas_ Jefferson, who had re
ceived the highest number of votes,
)vas chairman of the committee; and .
drafted the • declaration: He Was. a
Young Man of 33, 'just ;married, a
lawyer by profe's'sion, of calm tem
perament, philosophic/mind, a hyVer
of the natural sciences, and . scorning
nothingo
i;
' but metaphysics. lie was
gifted aS a close and impartial think
er, not as an eloquent speaker.'grom
the fullness. of his mind, without
consulting a single book,',he drafted
the Declaration of Independence:
lie submitted it to Fianklin ;and
John Adams, and each of them Sug
gested one or two unimportant cor
rections.; For two days, from the 24
tO the 4th of July, his report reeeiv-
O:d the attention of 'congress. After
few alterations, - tendering the len
giiage more dispassionate and exact,
on the afternoon of July 4th, 11 1 76,
twelve States agreed to this memOra
hilkaper, Since known as the Dee
taxation :of Independence. "iWe
Rohl these Walls," say the signers of
the Declaration, "to be self-evident:
that all men are created equal ; that
they are; endowed by their Creator
With certhin inalienable rights; that
ainong the se are life, liberty, and the
pursuit:6 happiness ; that to seenre
these rights governments are insti
tuted among men, derivin& their just
poWers from the consent:cif the gov
etned ; that, whenever 'any forth lof.
govenament , becomes destructive lof
these ends, it is the right of the peo
ple to altar, or abolish it, and to in
stitute al new government." Then
the Declatation charges the King of
Great Britain with a system of ~/qpp
.ressive Measures agains:, theAelo
nies, nai ing. Many, special acts of
tyranny, 'and closing with this con
clusion : 1" We, ther:fore,, the repre
sentatives of Ameriea in Congress
aSsoubled, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the world for the rectitude
of our in entions, do, in the Maine
and by the authority of the good i)eo
pie of these colonies, solemnly pub
lish and declare,
that these united
colonies are; and of right ought .43
be, free and independent States; that
they are absolved from all allegiance
to the BritiSh crown. * * *: ;*
And for the support of this Deektia
tiOn, with a firm reliance on the pro
tection oil -Divine Providence, we mu
tually pledge to each other our lites,
our fortunes,and our sacred honor."
This Declaration was received
throughout the colonies-ivrith gteat
enthusiasm. It. was sustained during
six years f severe contl,ct, wli*the
cause of American Independence

GEII. TUTTLE'S SPEEOII.-
The lowa State Register in publish
ing this speech in full says
"No seeck has been made or can
beelnade in lowa or by an lowa Min
wlneh will attract the attention that
this one will, just at:this time: No
other man in lowa than Gen. Tuttle
stands in a position where he could
have made a speech so notable and,
of so much importance. For fifteen
years Gen. Tuttle has been the most
•influentiaLand most popular of all
hiwa Democrat's. He has been to
that party, not only a leader but he
,his been a shield and tile armor of
Whenever they were, charged
with being an anti-war party, their
reply would always be, " Look. at
Tuttle, the 'greatest of lowa sbldierti.
He's a Democrat, and did any of you
fellows fight better than he did ?"
Now they,have lost their shield, and
their .rage , will have to it neither
metes nor bounds. The storm- that
huts already broken upon the head : of
Gen. Tuttle, will be nothing to the
fury - that will rage about him, now
that l be has publicly announced his
abandonment of the party, and told
his reasons why."
We make the following disjointed
extracts from the speeclf :
When.these things •-came to my
ktiOwledge I could not' 'do less than
halt forfurtherdevelopment,watching
sniipiciously every movement made
th,ereafter whith I could see had a
tendency toward drawing the Democ
racy North and South nearer togeth
ero union which I could see would
inevitably put the old rebel element
at the head of and virtually in con
trol of.the party. Events
. have cul
minated rapidly since then, and I had
not,long to wait to see the whole
programme.- The Democratic House
sodn gave me light enough. [Cheers.]
For some time I have been ready
to answer the question.: " Have you
lefthe Democratic* party ?" I have.
[Great applause.] And I am often
asked now "Is it so ?" Will you
vote for Hayes and Wheeler ?" It is
so and I *ill work for them as well
as vote for them. My Democratic
friOds ask me for my reasons. There
are, plenty of them, .and.all.of them
cannot be told in these few remarks.
Anil it not necessary to tell them
First, let me say that my aban--!
donment of Democracy was not taus-;
ed,as has been charged by the press
of the party, because of the currency:'
or, taritrqtiestions. I have no obj •e
-tic* to thOse planks•in the St. liouisl ,
platform. But my reasons are as I
haVe already indicated, and will now
state further.
The Democrats who press me for
mpreasons may know them. On the
road the other day Is met an old
Deniocratic'friend m -on6 of the Van
Buten county Democrats, whom
Date Seward, in his screed in the
paper the other day, said never livid
any, faith in my democracy after I
went into the war. [Applause.] - quite
excitedly he wanted to. know if it
was true, the ; report that I had really
left the democratic party. I answer
ed, "It is a fact." He asked the,
reasons for it. I told him they were;
quite plenty and sufficient, and as we
had plenty of time I would tell him
sonic of them. Something of what I
have , already stated here, was the
first said, and. then I said the first
thing: I didn't like in the Democratic .
House was the appointment of Fitz
Hugh, the sargent-at-arms of the
Confederate Congress, as'; the door
keeper of the House, and the dis
plaCement of Union soldiers—many
of them crippled in the war, with the'
ex-members of the rebel army. [Great
applause.] He wanted to know if
they didn't have a tight to do this.
I ansWered that they had, but I also
had the right to disapprove and de
nounce it. Another thing I didn't
like was Ben. Hill's rebel speech and
its bold 'utterance of treason, and I
didift like the rebel , yell in response
to over the south, for I had
Ireard that yell before, and knew
what it meant. They tell me—the
deniocrats—that I am "seared of
Ben. ,Hill." I don't think I ; I
think I Was "scared of" any
of the llills when I: met them in the
south ; I do notremembet.that I was.
[Great cheering.] Then I told my
frielid, how worse than all of the many
bad! and unblushing acts of the Dem
ocratic House, I esteemed- as infa
mutts the. act of appointing to the
Cleikshipof the leading Committee of
the Oonse the man Hambleton, who,
named his son John Wilkes Booth,
after the assassin of President Lin
coin. [lmmense cheering.] This out
racreousact7 in-truckling to the rebel
elepient, the northern democrats dare
notdiSown, and for all I knOw, this
man is still the Clerk of that Com
mittee. The little Child, so dishonor
ed t)y its name, and the significance
of it, had the good sense, thank God,
to die.
• BEN. HILL'S SPEVIL
That speech of Ben. Mil's, and the
recerA that the Democratic party has
made in regard to it, would have
been enough of itself to send any
Man who cares for his country, out of
all fellowship with the party in whose.
name and by tone of whose leading
members it, was' made. 11111 in that
speech defended Andersonville and
the! attrocious treatment of Union
prisoners in the southern prison hells:
Could I endorse that, and still re
meiriber my own comrades who suff
ered in them more than death and
hell? "Can any party , succeed which
even tacitly endorses sentiments like
these? llill also said in his speech,
"We went out of the Union Jiugging
the Constittition, and we came back
intq theCnion hugging it." What
a hug ! [Great laughter.] That was
what they went out for, not to be
'rebels, but to" hug the Constitution"
—of the Union they were trying so
hard' to destroy. 1 have seen. them
when they were doing this " hug
gini,*." 1 ,remember one morning in
April, 181;°3', the first day of the bat

came beaang down upon us,lhat I
ascended an elevation to watch them
through a field-glass as they came.
It Was a grand sight, ty; they came

who were Spouting treason and abus

of them aril too. true.

would be bad, but ,not so,„bad, we
must remember, as wasithe speech of

()OOP-BYE PEMOCRICI
Atrial nor, in conclusion, as to the
reason wily; I have not left the Pem.
otratic ,party sooner. !They say' I
want l olliee; and ithat I have wanted
office. If I had, gentlemen, I would
have left the DeniocratiL, party yearS
ago, for it;is a matter of record that.
I have saidt for years that there was
never any hope of the Democrats'ear
rying lolva. If I had been an office
seeker ,f tihould• have ileft the old
party lonal ago. : I am , not a candi
date for office, and never will be. I
have no aspirations' for'. prominence
in politicsl and I do not see why,
when a private citizendl have tried
to change any party wetly, all; this
abuse should be heaped' upon Me.' I
can stand it, thmigh, and it in nowise
changes My conVictimi as tp ny.
duty-4 onlYito intensify' and confirm
it. [Applause-] 4
I feel in'earnest now,las I did dur
ing the will. r,fiave no retreat to
make.
.The .reas:on I 14t the Demo
vatic party l is that I have no faith
in it,'and jno faith in ; Ithe old rebel
elemmit , whom I have, long
. feared
would come to the front, and whom
I uoi . 4 , know and 'S'ee ha r, come, and:
whose coining has made my way
clear and iity. course of duty plain.
[Great applause.] Seeing these men
at the head of the party,. and
again
seeing theldetianee of the men who
last held Ollice in .the 'National Gov
ernment-110er the Democratic party,
makes this ,gs plain . enatigh... Ainong
the last.Dernocratic officers. of: any
note were Floyd and Jake Thompson,
the DemOkratic - Secretary Of 'War
and Secretary of the Interior.' They
stole froth the ,Govement, they
swore to'serve, to heni the rebellion
raised to i destroy it ; and beside
their crimes aniftheir c rruptions,all
that is icharg,ed to tit Republican
;1

Why, old Jakei:!Thom i pson, encour

' THE. PPM Or THE HOUR.
• ;When the slaveholders of the south
rose in rebellion, and . forced the coun
try into a terrible war; for its own
preservation, theyi• had been for many
years in ,possession of the National
GOvernment, and in. control 'Of the.
LegislatiYe and Judiciary Depart-
Monts, all which, they had used for t ,
the purpOse of furthering theirebancesi
success in the -struggle planned=
for at least tee years 'before it'broke
forth. This control Of the govern -1
ment they had gained', by means of a
" United south," together with such
assistance as they could obtain from,
the; doughfaced Democracy Of the
north. - -
At this time the apportionment of
representatives, in Congress was !As
ed.: • the whole number Of fr ,
persons in the several states (eXcitid
ini Indians net taxed,} together with
thlice-fifths of all, slaves. Since the
she' lition 'of slavery arta the adOPtion
ofthe Fifteenth Amendment -•/// of
thi colored," pOpulation; hitherto
sl#es, is counted: in the apportion
ment, instead of the three-fifthii, and
the result is, of course, a direct gain
to relative pOwer of the fOrmer
slave -states in national affairs. The
actual gain, so far, to the states Which
participated in the rebellion, has
been about twenty members of Con
gress, and, of course, the saine:num
her (20) votes in., the Electoral col
lege.- Beaten in war ; therefore, -the
south returns to thepOlitical contest
with the purpose 'of - resuming its old
supremacy—and rettirns relatiVely
more powerful than before. Let us
, .
examine the figures* of.comparative
strength:
Conceding, for the moment, the fact
of 1 " united south " 'under the' lead,
Of former ,seeessiethists, we firiik the
present strength Of the sixteen 'form
er Slave states (including- West Vir

The' strength of all the other states

vote, 221; In order for the former
secessionists, therefore, with a "Unit
ed south," to secure Control oelboth
the:Executive and Legislative branch- -
es 'of the tlovernment, the accretions
which they need 'frond the north, are
as - follows : Representatives, 31 ;ISen.-
ators, 7.; and,electoral votes, 31;. -1
To accomplish ' this; gain they flat
terthemselves , isi notr an impoSsible
task. They knoW that they !have
lost'. much of ; the better claSs of
northern support that was with itbern
in their. former (lease of - power Previ
ouS•to the war but they knowalso,
that the great hank and file of the
Democratic party in, the northern
states, anxious to return to power,
hungry for oflice.6hirsting for public
spoils, will ;'eagerly lend themselves
to Southern puposes,lwith little in
quiry and little care as to what those
purposes really are.; Upon these
they confidently count for their need
ed i 7 Senators, 31 Representatives,

weak . point—it is,to be found in the
claim of a ".united soUth.". There is
no united south.• There is sec=
tioal.political division - of the ivordS
convey. It is one planned :14 the
sane minds that planned the southern
eiMfedellaey, and shaped by the shor- ,
gulls and knives of the southern rof
fiarfs—of White t Leagues and Ku

Instead of there being a united
sonth,.fiVe southern states are,Way,
Republican by an. aggreg ate majori
ty :Of •10,009. These five states
haVAIO SenatOrs, and 3; &clitoral
voets which by right belong to the.
Republican party ; and by the 'Same ,
token there are at least 35 southern
