we have conjured them, by the ties of our
common kindred, to disavow these usurpa-
tons, which would inevitably interrupt our
connexions and correspondence. They,
too, have been deaf TO the voice of Justice
and Of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces
our separation, and hold them, as we hold
the rest Of mankind, enemies in war, in peace,
friends
We, therefore, the representatives Of the
United States Of America, in General Con-
gress assembled, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the World for the rectilnde of our
intentions, do: in the name, and by the au-
lhority of the good people of these Colonies,
solemnlv publish and declare, tina. these
United Colonies are, and of right ought to
be, free and Independent States; that they
are absolved from all allegiance to the Bril-
fish crown, aud that all political connexion
between them and the State Of Great Britain
is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and
that, as free and independent States, they
have full power TO levy war, conclude peace
contract alliances, establish commerce, and
TO do all other acts and things which indie
pendent States may Of right do. And, for
the support of this declaration. with firm
reliance on the protection Of Divine Provi
denoe, we mutually pledge to each other
our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.

LIFE AND LOVE.
By sCHUTzE.
s'Leib' at1,d Leben blunt beisamnle4,."
Life and Love-they bloom together,
AS in ether,
Heat and light,
Love is only light from Heaven:
All to whom no love is given,
Life is but a wintry night.
Red as sunny apples glowing,
Cheeks are blowing,
Fresh and gay.
Love from rosy lips is stealing
Joy and every tender feeling,
Like the sun beam, soft away
As brook from fountains yelling,
Lightly swelling
Heaves the breast,
Love-enchanted, might l ever,
Like the swan upon the river,
On the silvery billow rest.
Like sail upon the ocean,
Fond emotion
Quick is gone.
So look not far before me;
While the sun of love is DER me,
Out to sea I hurry on.
As cloud in darkness driven,
Der loves heaven,
Grief may come.
Yet has hope deceived me never,
For the bow Of peace Will ever,
mid the darkness, find its home.
Love again is glowing brightly;
Launch and lightly
Speed away!
Now the sunny waves are glancing,
And the heart is gaily dancing:
Boldly leave the sheltering bay

and all the signs and indications OF the popular
sentiment available along the way, asks leave to
report That at Philadelphia he saw nothing from
The result of the October election to warrant the
impression that the democratic majority IN the
