When, in the courae of human events , i1 becomes necessary for one people to dis. solve the political bände which bars con nected 'hem with another; aud to aesume among the power of the earth, tne separate

and equal station to which the laws of na-!Be

ture snd of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind re quires that they should declare the cause which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to Le self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain

inalienable rights; that among theae ire laws in a neighboring province, eatablishing ife, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness .'therein an arbitrary government, and en That to secure these rights, governments Urging its boundaries ao aa to render it at are instituted among men, deriving their just ,nee an example and fit instrument for inpowers from the consent of the governed; irodueing the same absolute rule into these and that, whenever any form of govtrnment'enloui: becomes destructive of theac cuds, it is tbe For taking away our charters, aboliabing right uf the people to alter or aboli.h it, and our most valuable laws, and altering, funto institute a new government, leying its d . mentally, the forms of our governments.

loundation on such principle, and orgauiz- I bag its powers in such firm, as to them shsll in must likely to effect their safety and happiness Prudence, indeed, wHI dictate that government?, long established, should not be changed fur li,;i.t and transieut causes; X. and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to auffer while evils are s uflcrable, tliau to right them selves by abolishing the forms to which they are a. customed, ltut, wbeu a ioug train ol abuses and Usurpation, pursuiog invariably the same object, evinces a desigo to reduce them under absolute despotism, il ia their right, it ia their duty, to throw off aucb government, and tu provide new guarda 'or their lu'ure security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies, and aucb is uow the necessity which constrains them to alter their former system of government. The history of tbe present King ot Great Britain . .... . is s history ol rep.-aled injuries and usurpa tions, all having, hi direct object, the entab lishment of an absolute tyranny over there Stiles. Tu prove this, let facts be submitted to a candi J world; lie has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and neceasary for the public good . lie has forbidden hia governors to pass laws of immediate snd pressing importance, unless suspended in their operations till hi assent should be obtained; and, when ao suspended, be has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pasa other laws for tbe accommodation of largt districts of people, oieM ihoee people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature a right ineatimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. i Ue baa called together legislative bodiea at places unusual, uncomfortable, and d a taat from the repository of their pub.'ir records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with hismeaaorea. He haa dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmneaa bia invasions on tbe riglite of she people. lie baa refused, for a long time after auch dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of ann iulatioo, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remainiog, in tbe meantime, cxpoaed to ail tbe dangera of invasion from without, aad con vglsiona within. Ue haa endeavored to prevent the popula tion of three States; for that purpose, ob structing the laws of natural, z üi n of lor eigncra, refusing to paas otbera to encourage their migration hither, aud raising the con diliooa of new appropriations of land?. He haa obstructed the adioluialration of justice, by refusing bia aaaent to lawa for establishing judiciary powers. Ha haa made ju-fges dependent an bia will Brone for the tenure of their offices, and the amoaat aid payment of their salaries Ue haa erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harrsss

our people, and eat out their substance. with a firm reliance on the protection of He has kept among ua, la times of peace, Diviee Providence, we mutually pledge to standing armiee, without the consent ol our each other oar lives, our fortunes, and oar legialsturee. sacred honor.

He baa plundered our aeaa, ravaged oar coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed tbe lives of our people. Ue is, at tbia time, transpo't:ng large ar mies ol fcreign mercenaries to complete the w.-rks of death, desolation and tyranny, al ready beguo, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled ia the moot baiberoua ages, and totally unworthy the bead of a civilised nation. He bas conatrained oar fellow cit:zns taken captive on the high seae, to bear arme against their country, to become the execa tioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrectii ns amongst us, snd has endeavored to bring an the inhibttants of our frontiers the merciless luJisn evage, whose kaowa rale of wsr tare is an undistinguMicd destruction of all sges, sexes and rocditioaa. In every atage of theae oppressions, we hsve petitioned for redress ia the muat Bum ble terms. Our repeated petitioaa have tuen answered only by repeated injuries. A priucc whose character in thus marked by every act w inch may define a tyrant, ia unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attentions to cur liritish brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extead aa unwarranted jurisdiction over ua. We have reminded them of the circumstance of oar emigretiuu and aettlement here. We have appeal ed to their native justice and magnanimity and we hsve conjured them, by the una of our common kindred, to disavow these us ur pation, which would inevitably interrupt oar connections and correspondence. They, too. have been deal to tbe voice of justice and of consanguinity. We muat, therefore, acquieece ia tbe necaaaity which deaonr.ees our separation, and noM tnm aa we hold the rest of mankind enemiea ia war, in peace, friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the United 8 tat es of America, ia General Con gress assembled, appealiag to tbe Supreme Judge sf the world for the rectitude of oar intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of tbeee colon iee solemnly publish and declare that theae United Colonies are, aad of right ought to be, Iree and independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the Britieh crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britsin is, aad ought to be, totally dissolved; and that aa free aad iadependent States. they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish com' merce, aad do ell other acts aad tbiega which independent States may of right do And, lor tbe support of tbia declaration

There ia a good deal of quiet eatire ia the folio iog: The Black Ueifee Poeict Major Jack Downing bila off the ultra Administration policy ia the coadact of the war ia the foltowing pointed style. The -black heifer" nark makes loose work, aad is considerably ccaspicaoue. "The war haa bees carried on by us jest like old Sei Pendergast's hoy plowed. Old Sol took hie eldeat hoy Adam, a thick beaded feller, oat one spring aad set him to piowiag. He told him to go to work aad strike e farrow acroea a field to n Mark heifer, aad then keep be. After giving this direcabia, old Sal weat off to the house aad let Adam alone. The boy started his oxen ia a bee-line for the black heifer, but when he got pretty close to her, abe threw up her tsil aad raa off ia another direcabia. Adam thought he meat fallow tbe heifer, ao matter where ehe weat; he struck aoothir boo lice for her, sad with jest the same result. Waa he got clua to her, tbe heifer give another frisk with her tail, an off she went Adam feed hie oxen around, an struck for her again; aad ao he kept on all day. At aite the old man earn out to aee how Adam had got slong. Ua founo Use fie!d r.U cut up with furrowa, sig sag, cnss-cross,.and in every direcahm, aad aaked Adam wat ou earth it meat? -Wal,' see the thick beaded numskull, you told me to steer for the black heifer, aa I've done it all day, but the darned critter would not stand still, sad so the furrows are a kinder eriee cross, you see.' Now, see I, that is jest wat Linkin has been dole.' Greeley told him to steer for tbe oifgor. and the result is just like Adam Pendergaat's plowirg. Ther's a considerable fighting been done, but it ia all criss-cross, sig-sag, and don't amount to nothin." John B rough. Ths Louisville Democrat aays tbst the Abolition party are much pleased now with B rough, who waa once a Democrat. Ue ia put forward with a flooriab aa a Democrat now. B rough voted for Fremont in 18&Ö, ami haa not pretended to belong to the Democratic party since. Many, once Democrats in tbe North, have fallen from grace, aad more Sooth have done likewise; oo the other band, many more have taken the places from which these men hare fallen. A Democrat becomea at once a dis tinguished man aa soon aa he deserts tbe principles of his party, lis ia put forward with the information that he '.a a Democrat. Still we suspect that aomo of theae men whs stray off ore est la be trusted ia a contingency ; their old ideas will came back, Io the annoyance of their new friends. Teacher. What doee h-a i r spell?
