JEFFERSONIAN REPUBLICAN. IN CONOR nss, JULY 4, 177G. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. t'te unanimous Declaration oj the thirteen United Stales of America. When, 'in the course of human events, it be Yomes necessary for ono people to dissolve the ipolitical 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 vntitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind, 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 frights : that among these are life, liberty and the pursuits 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 to these ends it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, ftnd to institute new government, laying its foun dations 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 experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing tho forms to which" they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security, buch has been the patient suffrance of these colonies ; and such is now the necessity which constains them to alter their former s)stem 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 of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. lie has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He his 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 accom modation of large districts of people, unless rliose people would relinquish the right of rep resentation in the legislature; a right inestima ble to them, and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the repository of the public recoids, 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 ef the people He has refused- for a long time after such dissolutions to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilating, have returned to the people at large, for their exercise, the state remaining in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of in vasion from without, and convulsions within. lie has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws-of naturalization of foreigners ? refu sing- to pass others to encourage their migration hither; and raising the conditions of new appro priations of land. He has obstructed the administration of justice,-by. refusing his assent to laws for estab lishing judiciary powers. Hehas made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace stan ding armies, without the consent of our legis ts res. fie lias affected to render the military inde pendent of, and superior to the civil power. He 1hs combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and tuikiKAvIedged'by our laws, giving his assent to then aets-of pretended, legislation. For quartering large bodies of armed troops aiming us. For protecting them by a mock trial, from I punishment for - any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these Mines-- Foi cutting off-ourtr-ade with all parts of the woj Id. Fur imposing taxes on as- without our con sent. For depriving us in many cases, of the berfe fits or trial by jury. For transporting us beyond seas to be tried iorpn tended offences. For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarg ing its boundhries, so -as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the sainc absolute rule in these colonies. Vor taking away our charters, abolishing our twost valuable laws, and altering fundamental ly, the forms of our government. For supendingour own legislatures, and de claring themselves invested with power to le gislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here, by de claring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. lit lias plundered our seas, ravaged our Gu.vjii; burnt our jovns, and destroyed the hves oh our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of ioreigu mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation-and tyranny, already be pun with circumstances ot cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled- in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head fa civilized nation. lie has c onstrained our -fellow -c4tizens,-taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their "country, to become- the executioners of -their friends and brethren or t6 fall themselves by their hands. Hf has excited domestic insurrection among lis. Mid has endeavored to bring on the inhabi ionts of our frontier the merciless Indian sav fiees, whohe known rule of warfare is an. indis criminate destruction of all ages, sexes and tionditioiii. In every stage of these oppressions we'haye petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repealed petitions have been an swered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act winch may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler ot a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attt-ntion to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legis lature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the cir cumstances of our emigration and settlement here. W e have appealed to their native jus tice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevi tably interrupt our connexions and correspon dence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must there fore, acquiesce in the necessity which denoun ces 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 these colonies solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are and of right ought to be, free arid independent States ; that they are absolved from all alle giance to the British crown, and that all po litical connexion between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved ; and thu as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, con. elude peace, contract alliances, establish com merce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors. JOHN HANCOCK, President. scientioifsly observed and maintained, and that in our 'opinion "the general tenor theieof is sal utary and right. Revived, That we reprobate every attempt on the part of individuals to redress real or im aginary grievances by any illegal or summary process, thus taking iho law into their own hands", and that we hold in utter condemnation all actions which come under the familiar de nomination of Lynch Law. Resolved) That we regard the cohduclof Dr. M'Clenachan and his brother, in the outrage referred to, as brutal, cowardly and without ex cuse, and that the object of their cruelty, so far from being rendered despicable in our eyes by an ignominious chastisement, has been eleva ted in our estimation by tho noble qualities which he exhibited on the occasion. Resolved, That we disapprove and rebuke the course of those journals which have attempted to justify this outrage and to maintain the claim of the assailants to the character of gentlemen, and that we advise our fellow citizens to abstain from lending their support to such newspapers. On motion, Resolved, That the chairman and secretary lake measures to have the pro ceedings of this meeting published, and that a copy thereof be forwarded to Samuel Aaron. PRICES CURRENT. Corrected every Wednesday morning: Outrage at Norristown. The Rev. Samuel Aaron, pastor of the Bap tist Church at Norristowu, was assailed at that place on Monday afternoon by two men armed with a cowskiu, dirk and loaded pistol. They gave hitn about forty lashes, threatening to kill him if he made any resistance. The pretended provocation given was in-a temperance address delivered by Mr. A. One of his assailants keeps a groggery and the other is engaged in the manufacture of liquors. Both were arrest- j ed and bound over in $5,000 to answer the I charge. From the Burlington (Nr. J.) Gazette: We invite attention to the proceedings of a meeting of" the citizens of Burlington favora ble to the assertion of right principle and good order, and opposed to -the brutal outrage com mitted at Norristown upon our late fellow citi zen Samuel. Aarox." The call for the meet ing was signed by Rev. Air. Van Rensselaer, Rev. Mr. Welch, Rev. Mr. Dickinson, Profes sor Griscom, Dr. Haines, Alderman Milnor, Messrs. John Mitchell, Thomas B. Woolman, and W. J. Allinson. By reference to these names and to the language of the call, it will be seen that it was not called as a temperance meeting, or exclusively by those in sectarian fellowship with Mr. Aaron. It is to be regar ded as the spontaneous voice of our high minded and law abiding citizens, without re ference to those questions upon which diversity of sentiment may exist. A-t a respectable and numerously attended public meeting of the citizens of Burlington fa. vorablo to' the assertion of right principle and good order, and opposed to the brutal outrage committed at Norristown, on the 19th ins!., upon otir lle,highly esteemed, lalented and learned fellow citizen Samuel Aaron, held June 29th, 1S4.3 John Griscom, LL. Dl, Chairman, Thomas Milnor, Secretary. The meeting was appro priately opened by the chair, wih clear and just remarks upon the characier of S. Aaron, and the objects of the meeting. Win. J. Allison then addressed the meeting, and presented ths lollowmg rrcamble and Itesoiutions. Alter re marks by ihe Rev. Mr. Welsh and other gen tlemen, the Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously' passed. Whereas an assault of a highly jggrav'ated nature was committed at Norristown on the 19th inst., upon our late respected and valuable fellow citizen Samuel Aaron, the circumstances attendant upon which are before the public; and whereas the Daily Chronicle and other Jour nals have pursued a course relative to this bru tal onlrage'which we deem to he subversive of right prihcipltv arid derogatory to the purity and characier of the public press ; and where as acts of lawless violence have of late become so frequent as to call for a- decided expression of disapprobation on the part of the orderly and law abiding members of the community ; Resolved, That from our long acquaintance with Samuel Aaron as a fellow citizen", wc entertain towards him sentiments of affection ate respect, and esteem him as a man of pure and honorable: principles and rectitude of life liesolved, 1 hat xte have heard with strong indignation and deepsorrow of iho brutal out; rage commuted upon ms person whilst quietly engaged in his school room. KcsolvecT, 1 hat we were consoled-to learn5, that by a meek, heTojc and' unresisting endur ance of this attack, he has acted-consisteutly with the profession he has made'bcfnre lira world, of being himself under the government of Christian principles. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Christian citizen to rebuke in mildness yet without fear, violations of human and divine law ; that it is in eccordance with the spirit of republican in stitutions to discuss the conduct of public func tionaries, and i hat the suppression of this lib erty, would tend to tyranny and despotism. Resolved, That Law was intended for the preservation of Virtue, and the protection of the righis and interests-of indrviduals'and of -society ; that Laws,-whilat existing, ought to be con- ARTICLES Strouds- Eastern.
