IN CONGIIMS, • Pbibul ' aphis, July 4, 1776. - When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the.pohticaf bands which have cOtinie t • •• ear with another, and to assume, g the powers of the earth, the . nd equal station to which the Is • ' ;tare and of nature's God entitle he , a decent respect to the opinionsdif mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. -We hold these truths to be selftviu dent, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the putvatt of happiness. That, to secure t bosetights,gorern inen V; are instituted aniong men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ; that, whenever'any form of government be comes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute h new government, laying a foimdation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to ef fect their safety- and happiness. Pru dence, indeed, will dictate that govern ments low' ' established, should not be changed f or light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind aro more disposed tolarffer, while evils are sufferable, than toright themselves by abolishingthe foto which they are accustomt7d.— But, when a long train of abuses and tanktpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under. absolute despotism, it is their duty, to throw off such govern ment,, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the - patient sufferance of these colonies, and f , uoh is now the necessity lv,Aieh constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The hiatbiy 0( the present king of Great Britain i s a history of retested inj nries and usurps tioik :all having, in direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world : Ile has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the pa lie — goi,d, - p has forbidden his Governors to pel9k:lsws of immediate and pressing unless suspended in their c i„ ~V4lll his assent shotld be oto• 441,' when s - sturnded, he Ms' ~"-'- ' .lttegisSeted to attend' te them. He • refased to ASS other laws for the4llotataskiatiSa of large districts of A DEMOCRATIC AND FAMILY JOURNAL. people, unless those people would re -Ifnquish the right ol representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tynifits 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 flitigning them into compliance with his measures. lie has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for. opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. lie has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected • whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their . exereise ; the state remaining, in the mean time, exposed to all the danger of invasion from without, and convulsions within. lie has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that pur pose, obstrueting the laws for naturali zation of foreigners; refusing to puss others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the -conditions of new appropriations of hinds. • Ile has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. lie bus made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount awl payment of their salaries. lie has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of offi cers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. lie has kept among. ns, in times of peace, rittindino armies, without the consent of our legislature. lie has affected to render the military independent. of, and superior to, the civil power. He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdiction ft treign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his assent to their acts of rre tended, legislation : 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 in habitants of thus States : For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world : For imposing taxes on us without our 'con•lent : For depriving 'us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury For -transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary gov ernment, and enlarging its boundaries, BO as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the smile absolute rule into these colonies : For taking away our charters, abol ishing our most valuable laws, and al tering, fundamentally, the powers of our governments : For suspending oar awn legislatures, and declaring -themselves invested with power to legislate for .us in- all'icases whatsoever. He A lias abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. He has plundered oar seas, r waged oar coasts, burnt our, towns, and de stroyed the lives of our people. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to com plete the works of death, desoktion, and tyranny, already begun, with cir cumatanees of cruelty and perfidy scarcely - paralleled in the most barbar ous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilised nation. He has constrained our fellow-citi zens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to be come the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands, lie has excited domestic insurrecti. - amongst us, and has endeavored bring on the inhabitants of oar frontierii, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare' is an undistin guished 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 pe titions have been answered only by re peated injury. A prince, whose char-. acter 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 atten tion. to our British'brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of at tempts made by their legislature to ex tend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and set tlement 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 inevita -14 interrupt our connections and cor respondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consan- Kuinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold4lbern. as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, iu peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the trotted States of _Ankrirn, in General Congrem aasembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the melte, and by the authority of the good IZ3Pof theft colonies, solemnly pub- L :ad declare, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and Independent slate* ; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British erown . , and that all politicalton flexion between them and the state of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, Cots), GETTYSBURG, PENN'A.: MONDAY, JUNE S 29, 1857. ly dissoired ; and that, as rata AND rs narannwer reams, they hare full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract &them:we, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which IND& PEND&T STATES may of right do.

INTItACT FROM TILE Speech of John Adams, Delivered is the Hall of Independence, be fiire the (ingress of 1776, on the inisz<age of the Thrlaratt:on. Addressiig Jolts llANcoex, the then Presdent, Le said— "Read this Declaration at the head of the army; every ..word will be drawn from its scabbard and the solemn vow uttered to ttin!nin it or peri.li on the bed of honor. Publish it distill the pul pit; religiot will approve it, and the love of religious liberty will cling around it, resolved to stand with it or tall with it.--Seud it to the public halls, proclaim it there, letthein hear it who, heard the first roar f the enemy's cannon, let them see it, who saw their sons and their brothers fall on the field of Bunker lliLl and in the streets of Lexington and Concord, aid the very walls will cry out in its support. • "Sir, I ktow the uncertainty of hu man affairs but I see, I see clearly through this day's business. You and I may uot ice to the time when this Declaration,shall be made good; we may die; die colonists—die slaves—die, it may be, ignominiously and on the scaffold: Belt tio—be it so; if it be the pleasure of !leaven that my country shall require the poor offering of my life, the victim shall be ready at the appointed hair of sacrifice, come with that hour may; bat while I do live, let me have a country ' or at Kest the hope of a country. and that a free country. But whatever may be oer fate, be liek surod, be Ramrod that this Declaration rill stand. It may cost treasure, and it may cost Hood, but it will stand, and it will richly compensate for both. Through the thick gloom of the present. I see the brightness of the future as the sun in heaven. We shall make this a glorious, an immortal day; when we are in our graves our children will hon or it; they will celebrate it with thanks giving, with bentires'und illuminations. On its annual retara they will slits' tears, copious, gushing tears, not of.sub jection and slavery, hot of agony and distress, but of consolation r ofgratatade, and of joy. - "Sir, before God, I btlieve the hour has come; my judgment approves this measure, and my whole heart is in it. All that I have, all that I am, and all that I hope in this life, I am here ready to stake upon it; and I leave off as I began, that live or die, survive or per ish, lam for this declaration. It is my living sentiment, and, by the blessing of God, it shall be my dying sentiment —independence now, and independence forever." The Signers To the Declaration of Independence. " They are no more—they are dead. But how little is there of the great and good which can die To their country they yet live, and live forever. They live in all that perpetuates the remem brance of men on earth; in the record ed proofs of their own grent actions, in the offspring of their intellect, in the deep engraved lines of public gratitude, and in the respect and homage of man kind. They live in their examples; and they lire, and will live, in the in fluence which their lives and efforts, their principles and opinions, now exer cise, and will continue to exercise, on the affairs of men, not only in their own country, but throughout the civil ized world. A superior and command ing human intellect, a truly great man, when Heaven vouchsafes so rare a gift, is not a temporary flame, burning bright for s while, and then expiring, givinv place to returning darkness. It is rath er" a spark of fervent heat, as well as radiant light, with power to enkindle the common mass of human mind, so that when it glimmers in its own decay, and finally goes out In death, no light follows; but it leaves the world all light, all on fire, from the potent contract of its own spirit."

Dr. Hawks, of New York, (born in North Carolina,) made the oration, the declar ation of the tOth of May,1776, was read. The following is a copy: Resolred, That whosoever directly or indirectly abetted,,,or in any way, or manner countenance, the unchartered and dangerous invasion of our rights, as claimed by Great Britain, is an enemy to this country, America, and to the inherent and inalienable rights of man. Resolved, That we, the citizens of Mecklenburg county, do hereby dissolve the political bonds which have connected as to the mother country, and hereby absolve ourselves from allegiance to a the British crown, and a t 'tire all politi cal Connexion, contract, or association with that nation, who have wantonly trampled on our rights and liberties, and inhumanely shed the blood of Amer ican patriots at Lexington. Resolved, That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and independent people, and, of right, ought to be a sovereign and self-government association, under the control of no power other than that of our 14od and the general government of the Congrev4, to the maintainunce of which independence we solemnly pledge to each other our mutual co-operation, our lives, our fortunes, and our most sa cred honor.

Lynch. of the United States Exploring Expedition to the River Jordan and the Red Sea, in 1848, visit ed the Garden of Gethsemane about the month of May, he says : " The clover upon the ground was in bloom, and the garden in its aspects and associations, was better calculated than any place I know, to soothe a troubled mind. Eight venerable trees; isolated from the smaller and less imposing ones which skirt the Mount of Olives, form A consecrated grove. *High above, on el , ther hand, towers of a lofty mountain, with a deep yawning chasm of Jebosa phat, between them. Crowning one of them is a living city; on the slope of the other is the great Jewish Cemetery —City of the Dead. .Each tree in the grove, cankered, and gnarled', and fur rowed by age, yet beautiful and impres sive in its decay, is a living monument of the affecting scenes that have taken place beneath and around it. The Olive perpetuates itself from the root of the dying parent stem,,the tree springs into existence. These are accounted one thousand years okl. Under those of the preceding growth, therefore, the Savior was wont to rest; and one of the present may mark the very spot where he knelt, and prayed, and wept.—No cavilling doubt can find entrance here. The geognipical boundaries are too dis tinct and clear for a moment's hesita tion. Here the Christian forgetful of the present, and absorbed in the past, can resign himself to sad, yet soothing meditation. The few purple and crim son flowers growing, about the roots of the trees, will give ample food forcon templation, for they tell of the suffering and ensnnguined death of the Re deemer."

WALKER for their next Presiden tial enn'lidate, as Fax.uomx's requisites of mule stakes and grasshopper pies, are small potatoes when compared with WALKER . R exploits, in feeding an army on dogs and jackasses. lisancent Adtaission.—At a dinner of the Maine Medical Convention, the Rev. Mr. 8., while alluding to the intimate relations between the profesaiona of the clergy and the physician, in all serious ness remarked that it was a soineyrh4 singular fact that ";rhea the doctor Ws . called the minister was sure to forlott" g_ Declaration The volcanic mountain called lzaloo, situated in the State of San Salvador, Central America, since its first appear anoe, in 1790, or within the memory of the last generation, has been in a state of incessant activity, and has gradually grown, in little over eighty years, from a hillock but a few feet higher than the surrounding plain, to a peak 3,200 feet in height, and is still growing. There is, unfortunately, no written record by eye-witnesses to the convulsion in which the Izalco peak originated. The story current among the residents (and which the elder of these received from their parents, who witnessed thoestas trophe) is this:—There was near the site of the present Izalco, an extinct vol. cano, called the Santa Anna. Stretch ing away from this was a fertile plain, at that time a cattle farm. Toward the close of 1769, the laborers on the estate were alarmed by subterranean noises and shocks of earthquakes. These continued, with increased vio lence, till the 23d of February follow. ing, when, with a fearful report, the earth opened about halls mile from the Anaemia dwellings, and groat masses of lava, stones and ashes, were ejected. These shortly formed a cone about the vent, or crater, which has steadily in creased since, and is yet annually added to by the masses of stones and ash es which are, day and night, ejected from the mountain. Dr. Moritz Weg ner was the first European to make (in 1855)a personal visittolzalm, and to him we are indebted for the only account of its present appearance, as well as for some interesting particulars of its past history, obtained from some of the more ancient residents of the neighborhood. One of these, born in 1769—the year before Izalco came into the world—re membered it, when he was a lad, used to visit it. At that time it was a hillock of less than 500 feet in height, the cra ter or mouth being much more extensive than now. There have been since 1780 three great eruptions, after each of which, it is said, the mountain was ob served to have materially increased in circumference and altitude. The last of these eruptions occurred in 1802. Vast quantities of ashes were thrown out, and covered the surrounding coun try to the distance of four leagues from the mountain. So thickly was the ground sown with those, that it WAS five years before the field* could be again used tsr the purposes of agricul ture. The explosions were so heavy as to shako the houses in the neighboring villages of.Lealco and Sonsonate. Since then the peak has gone on in the even tenor of its way, ejecting, mainly, ashes and occasionally muses of stone, and; by night, lighting up the surrounding country to such au extent that the na tives have, in ,ounsequeneo, called it "El Faro del San Salvador"—The Light house of San Salvador. Mental Evitement.—Bad news weak ens the action of the heart, oppresses the lungs, destroys the appetite, stops digestion, and partially suspends all the functions of tbe system. An emotion of shame flushes the face; fear blanches it; joy illiminates it; and an instant thrill electrifies a million of nerves. Surprise spurs the pulse into a gallop. Volition commands, and hundreds of muscles spring to execute. Powerful emotion often kills the body at a stroke. Chilo, Di arras and Sophocles died of joy at the Grecian games. The news of a defeat killed Philip V. The door keeper of Congress expired upon hear ing of the antrender of Cornwallis. Eminent rattle • speakers have often died in the Midst of an impassioned burst of eloquence, or when the deep emotion that produced it suddenly sub sided. Largrave, the young Parisian, died when; he heard that the musical prize for which he had competed was adjudged to another. A .3fotiel aitifteate.—The following certificate outdoes the " Panaceas," "syrups," ,and "Magnetic" nostrums, which usually work sach astonishing miracles in their cures upon conceited and credulous peop le: . Dear Doctor; I will be 175 years old next October. For 94 years I have been an invalid, unable to stir, except when moved by a lever; but a year ago last Thursday I heard of the Granicu lar Syrup, I bought a bottle, *Melt the cork, and found myself a new miva. I can now run twelve and a half miles an hour, and throw nineteen double sower sets without stopping. P. S—A little of your Alicumstotum Salve applied to a wooden leg, reduced a compound fracture in nineteen min utes, and is covering the limb with a fresh cuticle of white gum pine bark. A Good Reaudy.—Tho Local editor of the Lynchburg Virginian publishes the following, and says he has tried it and found it to be a god remedy : 4‘ To cure a pain in the breast, pro cures well made silk or woolen dress-- with an equally well constructed wo man inside of it—and press close to the part effected. Repeat the application till the pain ceases. This receipt., when the directions are carefully observed, has rarely been known to fail to effect a cure. The medicine is found in almost every household, and may possibly cost a trifle."

A Mountain which Grows. A Yeadty Visit to the Mous. The fbllowing, froni the Bealo Re public, is truly hinny, and, withal, aorta ' very incorrect picture of many al:tawny visit to the circus:. Sniffles took his wife and children to the circus, yesterday. By some mis take, he got into the twenty-five cent department, and in a moment he was borne away from his wife and children by the crowd. After a few momenta he regained his wife, who had just had her pocket picked of the bureau drawer keys and her ports-naonnaie, and 'had just dropped the youngetit Sniffles be tween the seats. Sniffles took\the rest of the family into the fifty-cent depart ment at once, and. then returned after the missing Sniffle. After an arduous search, be found4he little Sniffle lying on its hack, half-suffocated with tan bark, under the seat, and a large dog turning it over with his nose, to see if the Sniffle was good to eat. After driv ing off the canine animal, he seized the prize and bore it triumphantly to Mrs. Sniffles, who sat sniffling-in very great agony for her lost darling. lle found seats for the family, but was obliged himself to stand up and take a prome nade seat, in consequence of the crowd. The children got acquainted with Mr. Rice very quick, and wanted their ma to buy him, and take him home for them to play with--lie was so funny, and had such pretty tro4iers. This - Mrs. Sniffles promised to do; when Parago% Sniffles (Paragon is the youngest) want ed to know Whim ma wouldn't buy the "nasty horse" too. (Parugon meant the rhinoceros, undoubtedly). To this Mrs. S. blandly consented, and told the children to be quiet, and when they wasn't looking at the interesting things, to watch their pa, to see that no young woman inveigled him—Mr. S. being very susceptible. When the beautiful little 'girl rode so elegantly on horseback, the children went absolutely mad with delight, and Paragon, in endeavoring to make a jump at her to kiss her, slipt down- be t Ween the sesta, when a dirty little boy, who had contmbandly got in under the canvass, stole away his orange, and ' Filled his hair for tumbling on him. = Mrs. Sniffles extricated Paragon from his predicament with a piece of old hoop. When Paragon got out he was very dirty, and the little girl had got through her performance. Then Paragon cried, and would not be comforted, until one of the perform ers, who econom isecl his time by peddling " ice eo' lemonade" between the acts, passed by with a pannier full of the drink, when s t glass of it was obtain&l. This having been poured into Paragon's system, his spirits returned with the di lute cream of tartar, oon taini rig a netion oflemon peel, and he commenced watch ing his pa again. The elder Sniffle, who had been stand ing up b a little brunette of a thing, sup himself out of sight of his floc , and had purchased some oranges and confectionery, bad given it to the dark-complected young person, and, at the time Paragon looked, was busy chucking her under the chin, °might, unseen, as he supposed. Paragon im mediately sung out., "Pa's kissing her!" At this Mrs. S. looked, beheld, fainted, and disappeared. She had dropped down between the seats, and had to be rescued with a long pole with a hook, and was finally dragged oat in a limp, dishelothy condition. She was conveyed to the door, the children insisting upon being permitted to remain to see the " mu-ifs," which their pa sternly refused to consent to. The family left in a wretched state of mind—Mrs. S. in a state of syncope at the infidelity of her children's pa; Mr. S. in a state of tremulous fear at the consequence of his affair; and the chil dren glowing with indignation that they were not permitted to remain until it was out. Altogether, the afternoon terminated miserably; and Sniffles has forsworn circuses, except Whin he clin attieud solar. Effects of Praying and Pamping.— The ship Senator, which arrived at this port from Liverpool lent week, in a leaky condition, met with a very severe gale of wind just after leaving port on the 9th of April, in which she shifted her cargo and - sprung a leak. After several days of hard pumping, the crew, becoming exhausted and discouraged, notified the captain that they could not primp any longer. Capt. Coffin hereup on assembled all hands. Taking out his watch, he looked at it and then at the men, and said, coolly : "It is now just twelve o'clock ; and the rate the ship is now leaking, I calculate we shall be in the other world about halt' past two. I am going below to say my prayers," and went into his cabin. A consultation was soon held. • One old fellow declared he had rather pump than pray, as he autierstooel it better. In a few minutes the Captain heard the pumps going again ail lively us ever, and they did not cease going, except at short intervals, antil the ship arrived at New York.
