Declaration of Independence.
JULY 4th, 1776.
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.

For quartering large bodies of armed

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. . -

United States of America, itt General Con

Speech of Elder - John Adams.
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. The ;
people, if we are true to them, tvill carry
land will carry themselves, gloriously
through this struggle. ,
I care not how fickle other people haYe
been - found. I know the people of these
cOlonies, and I know, that resistance to
British aggression is' deep and settled in
their hearts and cannot be eradicated 4 Eve
ry colony, indeed has expressed •its sslitug
ness to follow, if we but take the lead.
.Sir,
the declaration tvjll. inspire •th*, people with
increased courage. Instead of a long and
'bloody war restoration of privileges, for re
-4 Mss of
grievances, for chartered inimuni-•
lies, held under a British King, set before
'them the glorious objects of entire indepen
.clence, and it will breathe into them anew
the breath of life.

. 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: •

When he was gone, the stocking -foot
was shown to.the then Chief Engraver "of
the notes, who said- that-if-anybody-could
settle the business, his son.conlcl: And•htt
proposed that the particulars of the 'notes ,
should be communicated to .his- son, who
was then employed in.his department of the
Bank, but should be put away under lock ,
and key ; and that if his son singenuity
shoulddtemble . him to discover from - these
ashes what notes had really-been put in.the
stocking, and the two lists should.tally, the
man should be paid the lost thnount. ' TO
this prudent proposal the Bank of Ireland'
assented, he,ing extremely anxious thilifiei
man should not be a loser, but, of - cotirse;
deeming it essential 'to be, protected' froni
imposition.
The son readily undertook ' , the delicato
commission proposed to him. He - detached'
the fragments from , the stocking with the
utmost care on. the fine point of g_.pen ! knife
—laid the Miele gently in a basin of warm
water, and presently saw them, • to his .de- .
light, begin to unfold and expand like, fl ow,
ers. By and by he began to *team them'
with very light touches of the 'ends of ti
camel's hair pencil, and so.ity little and lit
tle, and by the_most_delicate use of warm-
water, the camel's hair pencil and the . ; pen
knife, got the various' morsels seittiltiellet:.,'
fore him,.and begun *pike theni together,'
The first piece laid down was-faintlv veto ".
nizable'by a practiced eye as a bit of 'they
left hand .bottont corner of a' twenty paiinda .
note's thert'caine a' bit of the five—then of a
ten—then more bits 'of a 20, 5 and 10--
then antithcr , left hand bottat corner of a ,
twenty—sdihere were two twenties !—and
so on, until, to the admiration of the whole
Bank, he noted down the exact amount thi.;
poiited hi the stocking, and the exact.notets
of which it had been composed. Upon this .
—as hemished to see and 'divert himself'
with the man or, his returnhe proYided
himself with a bundle of corresponding
new, clear, rustling notes and awaited his
arrival.
