WIiph in the course of human event, it be
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the
I ditieal bands which have connected thrm with
another, and to assume among the powrrs of
the earth, the separate and rqnnl atstinn to
winch the laws of nature and of nature's Cod
put 'Me thnin, a decent respect to the opinions
rf mankind requires that tliry should declare
the eiiiscs which compel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to bo self-evident that
nil men are created equil that they are en
dowed, by their Creator, with certain unalien
able right ? that among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure
these rights, government! are instituted among
men, deriving their just powrrs from the cmi
pent of the governed ; that whenever any firm
of government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abol
ish it, and to institute a new government, lay
ing i's foundation on such principles, and organ
ising its powers in such form, as to them t hall
seem most likely to effect their safety and hap
piness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that go
vernments long established, should not be chan
ged fur light and transient causes ; and, accord
ingly, all experience hath shown that mankind
are more disposed to sutler, while evils are snf
fiiruble, than to right themselves by Abolishing
the forms to which they are accustomed. Dut
when a long train of a buses and usurpation?, pur
suing invariably the same object, evinces a de
sign to reduce them under abuoluto despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw o IT such
government, and to provide new guards for their
luturo security. Such has been the patient suf
ferance of these colonies, and such is now the
necessity which constrains them to alter their
former systems of government. The hi.-tory ol
the present king of Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in
direct object the establishment ol' an 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.
lie has forbidden his governors to pass laws
of immediate and pressing importance, unless
euspendqJ in their operation till hisnsscut should
be obtained ; and, when so suspended he has
utterly neglected to attend to them.
lie has refused to pass other luws, Ibr the ac
commodation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinquish the right of repre
sentation in the legislature a right iucMinm
ble 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
invasion on the ricbts of the people.
Ho bus refused for a long time after such dis
solutions, to cause others to be elected ; where
by the legislative powers, incapable of annihila
tion, have returned to the people at lare, fur
their exercise ; the state remaining, in the
mean time, exposed to all the danger of invasion
from without, and convulsions within.
He baa endeavored to prevent the population
of these stales ; (or that purpose obstructing the
laws for naturalization of foreigners ; refusing
to pass others to encourage their migration hi
ther, and raising the conditions of new appropri
ations of lurid.
Ho has obstructed the administration of jus
tice, br refusing his assent to laws, for entablish-
ing judiciary powers.
He lias made judges dependent on his w ill a
lone for the tenure of their offices, and the a-
inount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and
aent hither swarms of officers, to harass our peo'
pie, uud eat out their substance.
He has sent among us, in time of peace stand
ing armies, without the consent of our legisla
ture.
He has affected to render the military inde
ptnJent of, uu.l superior to, the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to
a jitrUuiction, foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his as
aent to their acts of pretended legislat ion.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us ;
For protecting them by a mock trial, fooi
punishment for any murders'which they should
commit on the inhabitants of these states ;
For cutting ell our trade with all parts of the
world;
For imposing taxes on us without our con
wot ;
Fur depriving us, in many cases, of the be
nefit of trial by jury ;
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of cur
people.
Ho is, at this time, transporting Inrjjft armies
of foreign mercenaries to complete the storks ot
death, desolation, and tyranny, already began,
with circiiu .stances of cruelly and perfidy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,
and totally unworthy the head of a civiUed na
tion. lie has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against
their country, to become the executioners ol
their friends and brethern, or to fall themselves
by their hands.
He has e.xci'ed domestic insurrections a
monjst lis, and has endeavored to bring on the
inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
savnjes, wIimsh known rule of warlare is an tin
distinguished destruction of oil ages, sexes, and
cowl t 'on.
In every Mace of these oppressions, we have
petitioned fur redress, in the most bumble terms;
our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repented 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 bruihern. We have warned them
from time to time, of attempts, made by their
legislature, tu extend an unwarrantable juris
diction over us. We have reminded them of
the circumstances of our emigration and settle
ment here. We have appealed to their native
justice and nngnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the iu r, of our common kindred to (lis-

on account of its poweifnl fertilizing properties.
A friend, in Philadelphia, furnished as with the
following information in relation to the mode of
using it. We have also seen it stated that a pint
of guano dissolved in four gallons of water is an
excellent way of applying it. A small supply
can be had at the store of Henry Masscr, in this
place :
''Fsa or Gi ano. If for wheat, apply 200 lbs.
to the acre, broadcast, at seeding. Used in this
proportion, by Mr. Joseph S. Levering, on his
farm in Delaware, with marked beneficial results.
If applied to corn, potatoes, or other plants, in
the hill, mix it with so much leached ashes or
dry earth, that a handful of the mixture shall
contain about a table spnonftill of the guano.
Apply a handful to each bill. In all cases, break
all the lumps found in the guano and pass it
through a sieve. To test the pure guano from
a counterfeit article, sometimes told, burn a por
tion on a red hot shovel ; the true guano leaves a
white ash of Phosphate of I.ime, whilst the spu
rious leaves a black, or dark brown ash, of Salt
of Iron."

Much has been recently said and written upon
the remarkable influence of the electrical fluid
when In ought to bear upon growing vegetables
hut we have no were seen the process so simply
elucidated, and its results so encouragingly re
alized, as in the experiment of which we subjoin ', te trode. and with such large returns.
suspended wires should be added, or galvanic
troughs placed in the field to supply additional
electric fluid, are yet subjects to be determined.
It is unnecessary to add that the electric fluid
acts as a stimulant, and therefore the usual quan
tity of manures must be applied.
These certainly are most extraordinary re
sults, obtained at the merest trifles of expense of
labor and money a quarter of an acre may ba
prepared, it will be seen, for little more than
nut dollar ! and as the expense diminishes with
the increase of the area for five Julian proba

A letter from Riode Janeiro, published in the
Brooklyn Star, furnishes the follow ing sketch
of the etiquette observed at the Court of B;ar.il
on the occasion of the presentation of the A-
merican Minister :
"Mr. Wise has been presented to
the Imperial Court of Brazil, and is now duly
installed as Minister Plenipotentiary of the U-
nited States. One of the party gave us a few
days since a description of his reception by the
Emperor of his Court. He was accompanied by
Mr. Walsh, the Secretary of the legation, and
one of our naval ollicers, all dressed in full uni
form swords, cocked linis, &c. Tin y were
driven tothe palace in a splendid barouche uud
four ; on arriving at the palace, they were bow
ed into an uiite-room soon alier which they
were conducted to the doi r of tin; rccptioii
room, where the Emperor and some of his prin
cipal officers were in waiting to receive them
On entering the door they stopped and made a
low sow, then walked forward to about the cen
tre of the room, stopped, and made another low
bow ; they then procodid to near the foot ol
the throne, where they stopped ami made ano
ther low bow. Mr. Wise then made a speech
to the Emperor, a copy of which bad been pre
viously given tu the F..iipcrir's prime minister,
in order that his Majesty, being too much of a
heathen to understand Foolish, might be duly
informed of what w asab aii to be s.ii.i to him Ij

Si Nsrnv ami PoiTvii.i.r. TI.e prospect of
completing the cnnnei tion betwe n the Siinbury
and Sbamnkin Railroad, (otherwise misnamed
"Danville and Pottsville,') and the great Rail
road extending from Philadelphia to Reading and
Pottsville, is recently becoming brighter ; and
the d,i y of its commencement cannot be distant.
This must be highly gratifying to all who rejoice
in the prosperity of our State. An able Engineer
has just coniplet'-d a diligent exploration of the
ground over which the connecting Rail-way is
to pass, and the result of two weeks' careful ex
amination is knov. i to be quite satisfactory. We
have much reason to believe that the road w ill
be shorter, the expense of construction less, ami
the tonnage transported upon it much greater
than has been heretofore anticipated. resides
other materials of transportation, we are well
satisfied that the immense Iron W'tuk. at Dan
ville and its vicinity, will require 100,000 tons
of Coal from Jjmttt Iti'tlgr, Ac, passing over the
new and the present road, twenty miles or more.
The amount of iron sent back, from these works,
in every form and variety, and sent the whole
extent of the road to Philadelphia, at all seasons
of the year, w ill be an impoHant acquisition.
As reganls thereat, there is ''no mistake for
the Locust Ridge coal has been proved, at the
Danville Iron Woi ks, to be supei ior to any other
for making iron. Rut Ave may ohVr a more en
larged view of this subject, in relation to the

C7"Somf. of the good citizens of Williarnsport
have been holding a meeting in relation to the
present mail arrangements. They complain
that the mail is now carried to suit the interests
of the Hotel proprietors on the Rail Road at
Trout Run. The speed of the mail and the con
venience of the public should be first consulted ;
after that, the convenience of the travelling com
munity. '1 his, we believe, is the rule mlopted
by the present head of the Post Ulftce Department.
07Tho following letter is from Mr. Riichanan,
to the committee ol the caucus convention, on
the subject of tieneral Cameron's election over
Mr. Woodward, for U. S. Senator. These gen
tlemen, who supposed that pure and unadul
terated democracy was cil cumscribed within
the limits of th-ir own narrow circle, addressed
a letter of indignation to Mr. ruchanan, request
ing his opinion in regard to the traitors, at
they termed a number of the most independent
and honoiable members of the Legislature, who
dared to vote in opposition to the dictates of a
clique of designing politicians. Mr. Buchan
an's reply was received in due time, but the
comniitteediil not deem it proper to publish the
letter until it was recently forced out of the in by
public opinion. Mr. Buchanan, it will he seen,
does not think it necessary to denounce, as trai
tors and recreants from democracy, men who
stand higher in the onlidenee of their constitu
ents, ami the people generally, than most of those
self-styled Siuion Pures, who set themselves up
as judges in condemnation of men superior to
themselves :
"Washijsoion, 31st March, ISIo.
Gkstlkmen : I have had the honor of receiv
ing your communication of the lsth inst., cen
suring the conduct both of General Cameron and
of those Democratic members of the Legislature
who, in union with the Whigs and Native Ame
ricans, elected him to the Senate ; and stating
that you deem it proper to afford me, as a Penn
sv Iranian, an opportunity to express my opinion
concerning what you term ' this unnatural and
unexpected result." Whilst entertaining for
you the most profound aud grateful respect, I
have arrived at the conclusion, after much re
flection, that it would be improper forme, espe
cially since I have become a member of Presi
dent Polk's cabinet, to criticise or condemn the
Legislature of a sovereign State, for electing
whom they pleased to the Senate of the United
States Jealousy of Federal interference and Fed
eral influence in State elections, ever has been,
and I trust ever may be, a prevailing sentiment
throughout the dernociatic party ; and if, in the
the details.
The report whence these facts are taken was
made to the Polytechnic and Geological Society
of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It will be re
marked that this principle is upon the free elec
tricity of tbe atmosphere a power all may use
and not, as in some experiments made among
us, through the intervention of the galvanic bat
tery. Dr. Forster, of Findrassic House, near Elgin,
having made an experiment on a field of bailey,
the result was thus reported tothe society j
''Dr. Forster bad thrashed, weighed and mea- I
sured his electro cultured chevalier barley, and
the product was the enormous quantity of 101 ;
bushels, or thirteen quarters per acre ! The j

They are responsible to the sovereign people of
their respective districts and counties, and in
the bands of their constituents they shall be left,
so far as I am concerned. Resides, I might add,
that any interference on my part in this delicate
question, would inevitably tend further to dis
tiact and divide the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania, at a moment when I am most anxious
it should be united in tuppoiting the National
and State du.inistratious.
Rut whilst 1 refiain from discussing the con
duct of impeaching the motives of any of the De
mocratic members of the Legislature during the
recent Senatorial election, I would do myself
gn at injustice if, by my silence, my opinion in
regard to the policy of holding Legislative cau
cuses should be misconceived or misrepresented.
Previous to tbe election, both of Dr. Slurjeon
General Cameron. 1 had uniformly expressed my
sentiments in favor of such caucuses ; and had
even urged many friends to exert their influence
with the Demorratie members to induce then, to
attend the late caucus. Indeed I am firmly eon
vi ruled that this is the best mode w hich expel i
ence has ever discovered of preventing individu
al preferences for men from distracting and di
viding the party, and thus endangering the tri
umph of the great principles of Democracy. But
this result can only be produced by tbe will of
the sovereign people themselves. SboolJ the
extraordinary excitement which you inform me
now exists ia Pennsylvania, eauseoor Democrat
ic fellow citizens to decree that their Legislative
servants shall hereafter go into caucus and be
bound by its decisions fairly made, this excite
ment will then have resulted in great public ben
efit. Rut there is no remedy for the past ; and

of the air in regard to electricity has evidently a
most striking influence on the rapidity of the
growth of plants, most of which increase in tbe
most extraordinary manner during thundery wea
ther. Nitric acid, a most important element in
the food of plants, is formed in the atmosphere
during thunder storms ; and at these periods fiec
electricity ia considerable qnantity can be drawn
from the air by flying kites with w ire strings.
There is also a genera! electric current over the
earth's surface from east lowest, and both tbe
terresliat and aerial currents are here collected
by tba saspended and buried wires, and again ab
stracted by the moist earth and the roots, which
when wet become conductor of tha electricity.
The application of electricity to field culture is
quite in its infancy, aud probably many improve
ments will be d.seoveied ; whether one or mors
