A Wilkesbarre, Penn paper states that
, son o. Jonathan. Carpenter, of Northmore-
! land, aged six years, strayed short distance
, from his fathers residence into the woods,
in company with another boy, and was most
shockingly bitten by rat:le-snake. The
snake was discovered by his little compan-
ion, who warned the unfortunate child Of
his danger. He attempted to escape, but
, so furious had the snake become, that it
continued to thrust its fangs into him until
he fell. Being unable to walk, the child
crawled on his hands and knees to the road,
, few yards distant, when the snake let 90
his hold, (by which he had been dragged
through the brush,) and retreated. By the
time assistance was offered him, the child
was senseless, and so badly swollen, that he
could not open his eyes. Medical aid was
Immediately called, and every cxcrtion made
to relieve him-hut of no avail. He lived
only about thirty six hours.
1t is too common among the popular ora
tors who address us on the anniversary of
independence to disregard or mistake, in the
ardour of defamation, the real causes
Of difference between the American people
and the British Parliament, and the real
principles which gave rise to the contest
which eventuated in the independence Of the
: former. We are told, that whereas we were
Siaues, we have become free. This is ex-
tremely incorrect, and is, besides, an i'm
parchment of the virtue and integrity of our
forefathers, who, to secure for themselves
the blessings of free government, trans
ported their wives and children to this in
hospitable wilderness, at distance from the
then civilized world and in the midst of pri
walton and of danger, laid the deep and broad
foundations of an empire which has become
the establishment of the world. Our fore
fathers "were never in bondage to any man."
Freemen in the proudest sense of the word,
it was their determination to preserve at all
hazards this high standing in the scale of
existence, and to resist every encroachment
upon their liberties. They sled fair free
dom hither," and here their descendants
have retained and cherished her, and extend
ed her empire, without either having ever
worn the chains of slavery.
1t was not then the wish Of ACQUIRING
Liberties achich they had ntger enjoyed, and
which their legal constitutions did not re-
cognise as their undoubted right,-but the
determination to MAINTAIN liberties which
for generations and ages had been-the un-
doubted birthright of their forefathers and
themselves,-thatin induced the patriots of the
revolution to grapple with British power and
bid defiance to British supremacy. The
Declaration of independence was the etfec-
tual mode of security which they proposed
and the establishment of independence,
though an effectual confirmation and securi-
ty, added not particle to their Liberties.
