Thursday, july 4, 1776.
&HEN in the court, of human events, it be
comes ueceffary, for one people to uidolve the
political bands which have connected them with
another, and to affpme among the powers of the
earth, the separate and equal flation, which the
laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them,
a decent refpeCt to the opinions of mankind re
quires that they ihould declare the causes, which
impel them to the reparation.
We hold these truths to be felf.evident ; —that
all men are created equal ; that they are endow
ed, by their creator, with certain unalienable
rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happineft.—That to secure these rights
governments are iuftituted among men, deriving
their just power from the confetti of the govern
ed ; that whenever any form of government be
comes deftrußive of these ends, 11 is the right oi
the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government, laying its foundation on Ip,ch
principles, and organizing its pou er in such form,
as to them (hall seem moll likely to effect their
happiness. Prudence indeed, will dictate, that
government long eltablifhed, should not be chang
ed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly
all experience hath fhowh that mankind are more
disposed to fuffer, while evils are fufferable, than
to right themselves by abolidiing the forms to
which they are accuflomed. But when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing inv-?a
bly the fame objed;,evinces a design to reduce
them under absolute despotism, it is their right,
it is their duty, to throw oft such government, &
to provide new guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient fufferance of these colo
iiies ; and such is now the nect flity, which coo
drains them to alter their former f) items of gov
ernment. The history of the prefent^ king of
Gr^at-Britain, is a liiftory of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the eftab
lifhmcnt of an absolute tyranny over these States.
To prove this let fads be submitted to a candid
world :— ,
He has refofed his aflenf to laws the most whole
some and neheffary for the public good..
He has forbidden his governors to pals laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless fuf
pehded in their operation, till his assent should be
obtained ; and when so suspended, he has Utterly
neglected to attend to them.
He has refufed to pals other laws for the accom
modation of large diftri&s of people, unless these
people would relinquish the tight of representa
tion in the legillature ; a right inestimable to
them, arid formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at plac
es unusual, uncomfortable, and diffant from the
depofirofy of their public records, for the sole
purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with
his mebfures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeated
ly, for opposing with manly firmnefs, Iris invasion,
on the rights of the people.
He has refufed for a loug time, after such disso
lutions, to cause others to be elected ; where by
the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation,
have returned to the people at large for their ex
ercise ; the flute remaining in the mean time, ex
posed to all the dangers, of invasion from without
and convulsions within*
He his endeavoured to prevent the population
of these Rates; for that purpose obllrutting the
laws for naturalization of foreigners ; refufing to
pass others to encourage their migrations hither,
and railing the conditions of new appropriations
of lands.

Penned by President JEFFERSON,
IN CONGRESS.
[I DOL. 50 CTS. PER ANNUM
THE attempts, in the Paiiadiuni and other p^
pers, to prove that there is no British Influence in
this country, is one Strong evidence that these
writers are convinced of its preponderancy ; but,
like culprits conscious of guilt, they assume an
inference of effrontery, and deny it in toto, the
most apparent charges of their criminality. If
this was not the case, bow is it pcffible that the,
should labor with so much eat uellncfs in the de
nial of a fatt, when erery column of their papers
carries the most undeniable marks of the truth
of the allegation ? Thole papers are so fraught
with every partial representation in favor of Bri
tain—with every minute detail which throws a
transient luflre on her prouefs and magnanimity
—with every argument which can be offered in
vindication of her affirmed marine rights—with
every thing that displays her fuperitrity in tac
tics. In Ihort, if wedid not oblerve that they
were " Neto-England" Editors, ve should flip
pofc that they were printed at St. James's, or un
der the immediate infpe3ion of the Brirfh nnni
flry. “ Glorious News," often prefaces their
relations of Britifli victories ; every iriffng nar
rative of success is inferred with aridity, and if
any events happen unfavorable ~!o the caute of
Mother Britain, the affectionate Editors generally
confute their readers' with paragraphs of their ,
own fabrication. It is evident, that certain pa
pers in Bollen have been mote delitous to repre
sent the favorable Bate of England (during the
contest with the allied powers) than even the
gazettes published in London ; there appears a,
great an anxiety at their difaflers, and as extra
vagant an exultation at their prosperity, as if the
circumstances were exclusively connected with
the happiness and welfare of this country.
During our Revolutionary War, there Were
printed in Boston, two or three minifleriaF pa
pers. The Tory interest supported them in op
position to the Whigs. The blessings of the Bri
tish government were described with all the Idr
vid glow of patriotism ; the lenity of her admi
nittration was the conffant theme of eulogy ;
her Conflitutiou was then represented as the most
ffupenduous fyflem yf human wisdom; the Whig#
were abused as the most worthless banditti in
focifly ; the maternal affection of Old England
was pictured in (train# the moll alluring; the
American Congress were calumniated as a con
clave of diforganizers.% the Army as # ragged
body of incendiaries ; WASHING-0^ as the “First
Gmful." of rebellion and carnage; Hawgock
and ADAMS as vicegerents of Belzebub ; the Le
giOmrei of MaUhebufetts, Virginia, &c. as po
litical pandemoniums, and if the term jacobin
had then ten in vogue, the Patriots throughout
the States would hare been laviffily bettered
with the Bigina of this epithet. , u , ,, ^
