IT IS WELL KNOWN. THAT THIS EOM—
pant, in the few years since the construction of the
ilread, has sold a large number of Farms to settlers,
who, mostly in a abort time, enjoyed a degree of pros

soil, and the facilities for disputing of its produce. The
numerous villages which have sprung up in this short
time also indicate the abundant resources of the country.
The land is rich PRAIRIE SOIL, often thickly wooded.
Woodland Can generally be purchased at short distances
and low prices—sometimes of the Company. The various
kinds of grain are successfully cultivated. Fruit, Grapes,
&c., grow rapidly, and yield abundantly and of superior
quality. The fruit market is probably the beet in the
West. For the raising of Cattle there is no better country
to be found. Considering the infancy of the settlement.,
much has already been done for Schools.
The Company OEO[B to settlers great advantages. The
laud is sold—Wood or Prairie,—at from $6 to $l2 per acre,
according to its distance from the Railroad. At the time
of purchase, only the interest of the purchase money is re
quired. For the S first yearn, likewise only the interest.
At the end or the fourth year and the three following, each
onoquarter of the capital; thus after the expiration of
nevelt years, the whole amount is paid. On cash pay

And Me wish at even, hie prayer at morn,

And he talked of hie lonely wife,
When the fever frenzied Me burning head
And loosened hie hold of life.
He talked of hie Lome, the fair free laud,
The home of he ehlldhood'e play,
He talked of Me babe, and the large tears fell
And rolled from bin cheek, away.
We told bite Me feet might never again
Walk over hie native sod,
But ere long they should tread the golden streets
At borne in the city or aod.
And we said though his eyes would never behold
The forms of his earth's deep love,
Be should wait for them there by the life-river fair
In the garden of beauty above.
But be wept and he talked of his burial lone
Ina stranger's unnoticed bed,
That no rose by affection's band would be trained
To wave o'er hie grave when dead.
We told him that God would mark the soot
Where all of His children lay,
And not one of His loved ones be forgot
Ou the resurrection day.
But he sighed and whispered " so long, so long,
So many long weary yearn,
And my lonely wife and little one
Alone In a vale of team."
We told him the word of God had gone forth
In truth aad holiness,
As the Friend of the widow's lonely life,
The Guide of the fatherless.
When death had Milled !hat loving heart,

Had saved for her, that lonely wife,
One trees of hie long, bright hair.
Then they wrapped the worn•ont soldier's clothes

Not a word of couneekoald,
But the hlrellng's rude, uneareltd hands
Piled the damp mould o'er his head.
Louievale Journal.
JULY 4, 1776.
A DECLARATION,
By the Representatives of the United
States of America,
IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED.
When, in the course of human events, it be
comes necessary for one people, to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
another, and to 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, a decent respect to the opinions of man
kind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal; that they are en
dowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
rights ; that among these, are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these
rights, governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of
the governed ; that,' whenever any form of gov
ernment becomes destructive of these enthi, 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 organizing
its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments
long established should not be changed for light
and transient causes, and, accordingly, all ex
perience bath shown, that mankind are more
disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolithing the forme to
which they are acoustomed. But, when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing inva
riably the same object, evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it
is their duty, to throw off snob 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 °Q in absolute tyranny over these
States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to
a candid world :
He 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 operation till his assent should
be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has
utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the ac
commodation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the right of repre
sentation in the legislaiare ; a right inestimable
to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from
the depository of their public records, for the
_sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance
With his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses re
peatedly, for opposing, with manly - firmness, his
invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time after such dis—
solution, to cause others to be elected ; whereby
the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation,
have returned to the people at large for their ex
ercise ; the State remaining, in the mean time,
exposed to all the danger of invasion, from with
out, and convulsions within.
A. G. CURTIN, GOVOMOT
He hae endeavored to prevent the population
of these States; for that purpose, obstructing
the laws for naturalization of foreigners ; refus
ing to pass others to encourage their migration
hither, and raising the conditions of new appro
priations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of juts
tine, by refusing his assent to laws for ealibliebi
lug judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will
alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the
amount and payment of their salaries.
Hs has erected a multitude of new offices, and
sent hither swarms of officers to harass our peo
ple, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of pease
standing armies, without the ooneent of our•
egislature.
WU. XXIV.-NO. 11.-WHOLE NO. 1975.
Baotou.
ile has affected to render the military rode•
pendent of, and superior to the civil power.
He has combined, with others, to subject us to
a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws; giving him assent
to their acts of pretended legislation:
Forquartering.large bodies of armed troops
among us :
For protecting them, by 4 4194 Irlta, fro/
punishment, for any murders which they should
commit on the inhabitants of these States :
For cutting off our trade mith all parts of the
world
For imposing taxes on us wilhout our consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the bene
fits of trial by jury :
For transporting 145 tiOPOOd MO 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 example
and fit instrument for introducing the same
absolute rule into these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our
most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally,
the powers of our governments :
For suspending our own legislatures, and de
claring themselves invested with power to legis
late for us in all asses whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here; by de
claring us out of his protection, and waging war
against us.
He has plundered our nag, ravaged our coasts,
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of o ur
people.
He Is, at this time, transporting large armies
of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of
death, desolation and tyranny, already begun,
with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarce
ly paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the head of a eiVilized
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against
their country, to become the executioners of their
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by
their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst
us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabi
tants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
savages, whose known rule of warfare is an un
distinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and
conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have
petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms ;
our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A prince, whose character
is thus marked by every act which may define a
tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our
British brethren. We have warned them, from
time to time, of attempts made by their legisla
ture to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us. We have reminded them of the circum
stances of our emigration and settlement here.
We have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity and we have conjured them, by
the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these
usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt
oar connections and correspondence. They,
too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and
consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiese in
the necessity, which denounces our separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,
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 colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, 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 political connexion
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 peeve, 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 Arm reliance on the protection of Divine
Provideyee, we mutually pledge to each other,
our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
ROLAND HOD AN 0L1V16.-111 1848, while the
Convention which nominitted Oen. Taylor was
in session at Philadelphia, a somewhat noted
local politician from Pickaway county, Ohio, was
in that city mingling in the muse. AS the Con—
vention adjourned over Sunday he concluded to
go to church. We will let him tell hie own
story.
I bad mounted my beet regalia and looked
fine; slopped at the door and asked the sexton
for a seat; was shown a very good one, entirely
unoccupied, in the back part of :which. I seated
myself. In a short time a very decent looking
man, plainly dreieed, entered and took the front
of the pew. I held my head, reverently, and
looked pious. He glanced at me several times,
then took out a white handkerchief, looked at
me again, and then took out a card, drew Ms
pencil, wrote, ' This is my pew, sir,' and tossed
the card to me.
4. I picked it up, and immediately wrote on it,
.Itis a very good one. What rent do you pay ?'
and tossed it back."
A HEAVY PEE CENTAGE.—A somewhat verdant
looking individual called upon a jeweller la
Montreal, and stated that he had managed to
aoeumulate, by hard labor the past few years,
some seventy-five dollars, that he wished to in
vest it in something whereby he might mako
money a little faster ; and that he concluded to
take some of his stock and peddle it out. The
jeweller selected what he thought would sell
readily, and the new pedler started on his first
trip. lie was gone but a few days when he re
turned, bought as much again as before, and
started on his second trip. Again he returned.
and greatly increased his stock. He succeeded
so well, and accumulated so fast that the jewel
ler one day asked him what profit he obtained on •
what he sold. Well, I put on about fire per
cent." The jeweller thought that a very null
prolit, and expressed as much. "Well," said
the pedier, " I don't know as I exactly under
stand about your per cent., but an article for
which I pay one dollar, I generally sell for five!".
