IVhen in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among. the poNVers of the earth, the seperate and equal statito 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 impel then) to the sepnratinn. We hold these truths to be self-evident. that all men are created equal ; that they are endowned by their Creator-with certain un alienable rights ; ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of -happiness. That to secure the rights, governments are insti tuted among men, deriving their just pow ers from consent of the governed; and 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 in stitute anew- govermnent, laying its foun dations on such principles, and organizing its powers in. such forin;•.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 caus es; and, accordingly, all experience bath shown, that , mankind ere more disposed' to suffer; while evils are sufferable, thfin to r right themselves - by abolishing the forms . to which they are accustomed. But'`when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursu ing invariably the same objets, evinces a design. to reduce them tindeer absolute des potism, it isttheir right,. it is their duty, to throw-oil such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufference of the col onies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them• to alter their :former: sys tem of government. The hiStory, of the present king of Great Britain. is a history of repeated injuries and. usurpations, all hav ing direct object, the establishinent.of an-ab solute tyranny over those states... To prove this, let facts be submitted to a 'candid world. lie las refused his assent to laws the allitst wholesome and necessary for the puL lic,good. Helms forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and. pressing importance, unless suspended in their operations till his assent should be obtained ; and when so sus pended, ho has utterly neglected to attend to them. Ile has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of largo districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature.; a right inestimable to them, and formidable to ay. tyrants only.

He has refused, for a leng time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ; Whereby the legislative; powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at flute for their exercise ; the state remaining in the mean time, exposed to all the dan gers of invasion from without, and convuli -ions Within.

Ile has Combined, with others:to subject its...to_aiittrisdiction.foreign—to our -constitu tion, and - Unacknowledged b our laws ; -giv ing his assent to their acts of pretented For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us. For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states. ISM For cutting ofi our trade with all parts of the world. For imposing taxes on us without our consent. GSM For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury. For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for-pretended offences : For abolishing the free system of Eng lish laws in n neighboring province, estab lishing-therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as•to render it at once an example and fit instrument for for introducing the. same absolute rule into these colonies: ". For taking away our charters, abolishing. our most valuable lavrs,_and altering_ funda mentally, the forms of our governments: For suspending our own legislature, and declaring thentselOes invested with power to legislate for us in till cases whatsoever.— He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and wag, jug war against US. Hs has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. .. ' I.+!' He is at this time, transporting large ar mies of foreign mercenaries itaitimplete the works, of death, deal:dation, and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of c.a.. elty and perfidy scarcely - paralleled in the most, barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He . has Constrained our fellow-citizens., taken captive on 'the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the exe cutioners of their friends and brethren, or ' to fall themselvts by their hands. Hu has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the. inhabitants of our frontiers, the mer ciless Indian savages, whose known rule of Warfaie is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most Itum• b!e terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose cheracter is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is un fit to be the ruler of a free people. Nerlitive we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of the attempts by legislature, tcreitend an unwarrantable ju risdiction - over us. . We have reminded them of the circumstances of our 'eniigration and• settlement here. We • have appealed to ' their native justice and magnanimity, and tyre have conjured , them, by the ties of our •%mtnon kkdreil, to disavow these Aurpa tijafis, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, htiveY,been 'deaf to the voice of justice vind of consanguinity. We must therefore, 'acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in the peace, friends. . - r r . We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, itt General Con greys assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judo of the - world forthe rectitude of our - irate eons ; do, in the native, mid by the au i ' thor y of the good pceple of these colonies, solemnly publish and 'declare that these UniteLColcinies are, and of right ought to be, frtlrind independent States ; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the Brit ish crown, and that all ,political connection between theta. and the state of Great Brit ian is, and ought to, be, totally dissolved ; and that, us 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 in -11 dependent States may of ',right do. :And, 1 for the support of this declaratien, with a 1 firm reliance on the protection of Divide Providence we mutually 'pledge' to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Delivered on the subject of the Snierican • Independence,-in 1770,-- --- Sink or swim, live Or die, survive or per ish, I give my hand, and my heart, to this vote. It is true, indeed, that in the begin ning, we aimed not at independence.. But there, is a Divinity that shapes our ends.— The injustice of England has driyen us to arms; and, blinded to her own interest, for oar gond she has obstinately persisted, till independence is now within our grasp.— We hove but to reach forth to it, and it is ours. Why then should we defer the declara tion ? Is any man so weak ns now to hope for a reconciliation with England, which shall leave either safety to his own life, and his honor? Are not you Sir who sit in that chair; is not he, our venerable colleague, near you ; are you not both already the pro scribedand predestined .ohjects of punish ment and vengeance? Cut ,oil' from all hope of royal clemency, what are you, what can you be, while the power of England re • mains, but autlaars, If we postpone independence, do we mean to carry on, or give up the war ? Da we mean-to submit to the measures-of Parlia ment, Boston port-bill and all ?Do we tocsin to submit, and -consent that we ourselves shall be ground to powder, and our country and its tights trodden down in the dust . ? I know we do not mean to submit. We nev er shall submit. Do we intend to violate that most solemn obligation ever entered into by men, that plight, before God, of our sacred' honer to Washington, when putting him forth to in cur the dangers of war, as well as the politi cabhazards of.the times we promised toad hfre to him, in every extremity, with„our Jertunesiand our lives ? I know there is not a man here, who would not rather see a general conflagration sweeping over the land, or tin earthquake sink it, than one jot. Or title of that plighted ,faith full to the. ground. For myself, having, twelve months ego, in this place, moved that George Washing ton:be appointed commander-in-chief of the forces raised or to be raised, for the defence of American Liberty, may my hand forget its cunning, and my 'tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I hesitate in the sup port I gave him. The . tinmaheri, must go on. We must - fight it thri:itrg4. ' And if the war must go on, why put off tenger the dec. !oration of independence ? That measure will strengthen us, it will give us charaCter abroad.. The nations will then treat With us, which they never can do, while 'we acknowledge ourselves subjects in arm against our sovereign, Nay, .maintain that England, herself, er treat for peace with us on the footing of indepen dence than consent, by repealing her acts, to acknowledge that her whole conduct to us has been a course of injustice and oppres sion. • Her.prider'will be less wounded,:. by sub mitting to that course of things which riow predestinates our .independenCe, that by yielding the points in .controversy to her re bellious .subjects. The former she would regard as the result of fortune ; the latter she would feel as her own deep disgrace. Why then, why then, sir, do we not as soon as possible, change this from a civil, to a national.war 1 And since we tnust fight it through, why not put us in a state to enjoy all the benefits of victory, if we gain, the victory ?' . . •: ... If wilail, it can he no worse for us. But we shall not fail. The cause will raise up armies; the cause will create navies.

Romarkabloingeimity. . A t the close of a long article, in Dickens' Household IVords; upon the Su'nj-ct of Bank Note Forgeries; we find the following : There is a clerk in the Bank of Eiigland who can do everything with a note that the patchers, and alterera, and simulators can do and a great deal. more. Flimsy as a Bank note is to a proverb, he can split it into three perfect, continuous, flat and even leaVes. Flo has forged more. than one de sign sent into the Bank as an infallible pre ventive to forgery. You may, if you like/. lend him a hundred pound note—he will . andeitake to . diicharge every. trace of ink from it, ah . d•reftirn it to you perfectly lapin,: jured and a perfect blank. We are not quite sure that if you - were to burn a batik note, and hand him the black cinders, con jure he would not bleach it, and join it, and it back again into a very good-looking, payable piece of currency. But we are sure of the truth of the following story, which we have from our friend, the trans cendent forger referred to, and who is no other than the chief of the Engraving and Engineering department of the Bank of England. Some years ago, in the days of the thirty shilling notes, a certain Irishman saved up the sum of eighty-seven pounds ten, in notes of the Rank of Irehind. As a sure means of securing this valuable properly, he put it in the foot of an old stocking, and buried it in his garden, where the bank note paper couldn't fail o keep dry, and would come' out when he wanted it, in the best preser- Vation...: After leaving this treasure in this exec'. , lent place of 'deposit for some months, it oc curred to the depositor to take a lock ; at it, and see haw it was getting on. He found the stocking loot apparently full of the frag ments of mildewed and broken mushrooms. No shadow of a shade of eighty-seven pounds ten. lothe midst of his despair, the man had the sense not to disturb the ashes of his propeity. He took the' stock ing foot in his hand, posted off to the bank in •Dublin, entered it one morning as soon as it was opened, and staring at the clerk with. a most extraordinary absence'of expression to his face, said, +A h, look nt that, sir Can ye do anything for ma ?' 'What do you call this ?' said the clerk. 'Eighty-seven pound ten, praise the Lord, as I'm a sinner ! Ohono ! There was a twenty as was paid to, me by Mi. Phalitn O'Dowd; sir:and a ten as was changed by . Pat Rielly, and a five as was owen by Tim: • and Ted Connor, sea he could Phillips—' .Well !—never mind did Phillips...
