NEW DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
~, .When ia The co9rse nf human events it becomes
necessary for, one dissolve the inteperaft
bonds whichhave connecaesk4bem with another, and
to assme tho sober station - which the laws OF ma
ture and natures God entte them, decent respec,
for the opinions ofmaAand requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separa'
ton.
We hold these truths to be selEevdent !; That
all men are created sober that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain unaIienabe rights
that among these are life liberty and the purity OF
health that whenever any habits become destruc-
tive to these ends it is the right for people to alter
them. Prudence indeed will dictate that habits
long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes and accordingly mankind are more
disposed to suffer than to right themselves by altering
the habits to which theyare accustomed. But when
a long course Of indulgence in luxury and intoxica
ton evinces+a design to reduce men to absolute
beastliness, tits their duty oprovde new hqnorS Tor
their future security. The history Of Rum Is his
tory Of repeated reuels and iaebviations To prove
this let facts be substantiated to candid world It
has called together men at places unusual and un-
comfortable, and distant from the depository their
family records for the sole purpose Of reducing them
into compliance with gill and half pint measures ;
il has endeavored to prevent the population Of these
States; it has made Judges depend upon its ercife
qnent alone has erected multitude of grog shops,
and sent amongstus Of drones to eat our sub
stance; it has kept amongst US in times Of temperance
standing distiNeres in some cases it has rendered
military superior to the civil power--it has subject
ed US to jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions;
it has cut off our responsibility with all the world
thas imposed imbeciHy upon US without our consent
thas transported half seas oper, to be tried for
pretended sobriety; has taken away our appetites;
and altered fundamentally former habits; it has
invested itself with power to rule us in all cases
whatever; it has plundered our barns. ravaged our
lands burnt our throats, and destroyed the lives Of
our people at this time large casks of foreign Ii
quors are transported TO complete the work ofdeath
desolation OF drunkenness, thing totally unworthy
Gull liquor; has excited domestic broils amongst
US, an has brought on us the merciess libertne,
whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished
destruction sof happiness among all conditions OF
people. A liquor which is thus marked by every
act that can define tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler
of any people. Nor have we been wanting in at
tentionto Brandy and Whiskey. We have warned
them from time TO time of attempts TO extend an un-
warranable jurisdiction Us; but they too have
been deaf to the voice of reason. We must there
fore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our
separation, and hold them we hold all liquors

Do our ccsioaS flow from necessity or :rom
choicc2 This has always been subject OF
discussion. Itappears to me, but with de-
gree of uncertainty, that our actions How
from necessity and not from choice, as ma
ny suppose Persons will generally admit
that they consult their interest and pleasure
in every undertaking or in every act. We
all have great desire tc commit such acts
as will benefit or please iii any way whatc-
yer, or such acts as will give us our choice;
then in order to produce such benefit or
pleasure, or in order 20 obtain our choice,
we are compelled or rneccssitated to act in 4
certain manner; therefore it appears that
our actions flow from necessity. We choose
pleasing and beneficial consequences, and to
produce such consequences, we are necessl-
tated to make use of the right causes. 1t
seems it is by actlngin a certain way that we
obtain choice; hence an act follows neces-
sity, and choice follows an act--th's IS in
variably the relation that they appear 70 me
to stand in, one to another.
Ifa philanthropist renders an INDECENT per-
son pecunlary aid, he is we'll pleased: but
what pleascs him? 1t is not the act OF Civ
ing the money, but the effect thatfact pro-
duced, which was the poor mans relief from
suffering. He was necessitated to do the act
or cause, because he chose to be pleased
with the effect. When gratified with the
good circumstance (the poor mans deliver
ance from want) arising out of his good act,
he has gained the object aimed at, which is
cho;ce.-Thus, it seems, our actions flow
from necessity; and by our actions we OBTAIN
choice.

the robbers had struck at that time-she am
swered yes. They then proceeded to tie
her hands behind her back; stabbed her un-
der the right breast; made her tell where
the munev was; took off her fing,-tied a
handkerchief round her neck to slltocate
her cries; took the watch (Which they lett
