Tlye Tariff.
•
It will be recollicted that on the 3d of dune last
the C. S. Sena passed' a resolution, calling upon
the ?rebid for estimates of the expenses of the
war with mace, and also for information relative
to the ode of raising funds to meet the same. The
Pre dent, in his reply, submitted a report of the
cretary of the Treasury, in which he recommends
another modification of.the present Tariff. The Har
risburg Argus, in commenting on this Message, very
correctly says:
We regret that we are compelled to differ
with the President in his views of the man
ner of raising additional revenue. We are
nQW in a state of war. _ Every precaution'
should therefore be taken to avoid the adop-'
tion of any measure which would have a di
rect tendency to paralyze the prosperity of
the country, and to' break down the energy
and the existing enthusiasm of the people.
We were gravely told some months ago
that the Tariff must be reduced because it
raised more revenue thin the wants of the
government required ; and now we are as
gravely informed that it must be reduced for
the pUrpose of raising more revenue.. This
glaring ineonsisteecy must strike every read
er, arid induce the belief that the main ob
ject ift to reduce the Tariff at all hazards,
and ',alder that mask which may the most
effectually conceal the designs of its ene
mies.;
We should be false to the principles pro-
.claimed by the Democracy of Peensylvaaia
}luring the last Presidential campaign, if we
01, not raise our Voice against all Attempts
at the present time, to destroy the Tariff of
That measure sowed the , seeds of
prosperity broad east over the land, - and
now when they are just sprouting up, giv
ing life and vigor to every banch of indtis
try, instead pf recniving the fostering care of
the Government, it is madly proposed to cut
them* by the roots, and thus to blast the
fond hopes of the friends of true national!in
depe4deace. Wp Wait lmiveyvvthat the
7 44
ary
fricids of the . Tariff in Congress will stn i pd
firtri. There are certainly' other means of
obttiining funds to carry on therwar, thait by
de4roying the manufacturing interest of the
country. Let these means be sought out;
let every dollar required be promptly given ;
but stave the country from the calamities of
a nteasure.which would be so fatal to its fu
turd prosperity.

Deelitration of Independence of - the U. S. of America.
IN CONGRESS, July 4th, 1776.
WitEN, in the course of human events, it
becCitnes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected
thelii with another, and to assume anion! ,
the )lowers of the earth, the separate and
eqql station to which the laws of nature and
of nature's GOD entitle them, a decent re
speet to the opinions ofinan kind requires that
they should declare the causes which impel
thedi to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-eyident—
thaq all men arc created equal ; that they
arc tndowed by their CREATOR, with certain
unalienable rights ; that among these" are
life,tliberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thit to secure these-rights, governments arc
instituted among men; deriving their just
pontrs from the consent of the governed;
thathenevernny form of government be
con *s destructive of these ends, it is-the right
of the people to alter or abolish it, and to in
stitute new government, laving its founda
tionlon such principles, and organizing its
powlns in such form, as to them hall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happi
ness'.. Prudence, indeed, dictate, that
governments long established, should not be
chatlged for light and transient causes ; and,
acctirding.ly, all experience has shown that
matikind are more:disposed to suffer, while
evil 4 are sufferable, thou to right themselves
by aibolislthig the forms
.to which th.: are
accustomed. But when a lonE train of abus
es and usurpations, pursuing invariably the
samE object, evinces a design to reduce them
un4r absolute despotism, it is their right, it
is their duty, to throw off snob Overnment i
an&to provide new guards for their figure
security. Sikh has been the patient sdffi-c
-ance of these colonies ; and such is-now the
nectissity which constrains them to / Iliter their
former srstems of government., The history
of the present king of Great / B ( 6min, is a his
torri of repeated injuries
,and usurpations, all
havhig in direct object / the establishment of
an ilbsolute tvranny,4"ver - these states. To

leave, befiire this connexion with it is dis
solved, to bear my testimony to the zeal and
ability with which! he ha'S discharged his du
ties. He lots rendered important services to
the Senate, the administration, and the coun
try ; and while I appreciate the honorable
motives which have induced him to. relin
quish the distinguished station be is so well
qualified to fill, "I
.cannot but express my re
gfet that we shall be deprived of hi:
hereafter.

the: reasons the honorable Senator has given
'd for his course would apply in a great ineas
