HISTORY OF THE DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.

The following facts in connection with the his
tory Of the Declaration of Independence have
been furnished to us by a friend. We know
nothing that could be more interesting and
more acceptable to our readers on this the anni1
|versary Of that memorable day on which il was|
adopted and published to the world:
The advent Of the national anniversary
reminds US that we should instruct the rising
generation in some points Of the history of the
Declaration of Independence. II is too gem
orally supposed by the young men ofour nation
that the Declaration was signed on the 4th day \
|of July, by all the patriots whose names are
appended to it. Such was not the case. ID
was passed by the unanimous votes of the
States, and published on that day but in conf
|formity with the usual practice, with no sigma
ture but that Of the President, John Hancock
The truth Of this statement will readily appear
from the following facts: The names Of some
who voted on the 4th Of July, do not appear op
the instrument; the names Of others, who were
mot members Of Congress on that day, and
we're not elected then, are signed TO it. Some
who voted for il did not sign il, and one, aa
least, who voted against il, put his name to it'd
Ia brief narrative will render the matter clear
R. II. Lee, Of Virginia, first proposed the
resolution, declaratory of the independence of
the colonies. 1t was referred to committee,
from which emanated the Declaration, penned
by Jefferson. After debate, a vote was taken
lin committee Of the whole on the flrst day of
|July, on which occasion Pennsylvania voted
against the adoption Of the Declaration, and
Delaware, having two members present, voting
ION opposite sides, lost her vote. Governor
Mexican Immediately sent an express for Rod
Iney, who was absent, and on the 18th, when the|
Question of the adoption came up in the House,
al the States voted in the affirmative. Two Of,
|the Pennsylvania members having absented
themselves, and Rodney having arrived, Al
resolution was offered and carried on the
18th of July, that every member present and.
every one elected during the course Of the|

HOW. mR. oLps. OF OHIO.

The Cincinnati Enquirer pays the following
|well.merited tribute to DR.. Olds, the represen.
|tative from the Columbus district: ave have
received copy Of the bold and marty speech
which DR.. Odds delivered upon the Nebraska
Question to his constituents at Circleville, on
the 26th Of April last. 1t is characterized by
|strong compact argument in defence of the
great principle Of popular sovereignty, that is
the basis Of the bill, but which has been SO
much belied by northern abolition fanatics.
The speech isjust such an one as should ema-
nate from fearless and independent demo
cratic representative to his constituents, and
reflects the greatest credit upon DR.. Odds.
There are but few men in Congress who have
served their constituents more faithfully and
ably who have been gilmore service to the
democratic party and the country, than the
columbus representative.
Possessing abilities of high order-an
interchangeable worker--having shrewd native
perception and tact--strong in his democratic
attachments, he has attained commanding
and elevated position in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and Justly Yields great influence in|
that body, A courageous and active demo-
crat, he has, Of course, In an especial manner
been singled out BY the opposition as target
for their lying and envcnomed calumnies--his!
motives have been aspersed by the ignorant,
and vile; but their falsehoods will only react
upon themselves, instead Of injuring the object

Captain and Senior Officer.

BARRACUDA, SINGAPORE, April %, 1854.
SIR: received on the 22d your reports,
dated on the 4th and 9Th instant, written from
the scene of action, describing the operations
and arrangements in which you had been en-
gagged up to the latest of those dates, and con-
tanning explanations Of some of the crcum.
stances which had led TO the very serious col.
hsion you describe, With the forces of an en-
|pire at peace with her majesty
On full review Of those communications. Il
is my duty to point out that it belongs to the
crown alone to declare war, and that the orders
and instructions Of the admiralty prohibit the
commission of acts of hostility towards the sub
% cts of foreign countries, and that naval officers
will be held most strictly responsible for any
departure from the line of duty thus marked
|out.
In the particular case comprised In your re.
ports, it is clear that the seizure of the Chinese
camp and junks were acts of hostility against
the public forces Of State not only at peace
with the crown, but towards whom we are en-.
poined to show the utmost consideration. No
|such acts can be justified on the ground that
|they were recommended or called for by any
consular officer. They can only be justified by
the Immediate and unavoidable necessities Of
your position at the time, and it is by the proof
|you adduce of the existence of such necessities
that the admiralty will Judge of the proprietv
lot such departure from its positive iniunc-
lions.
l have considered, as it is my duty to do. the
circumstances you relate, and am bound to
|acknowledge that they appear to have been
such as to have left you no alternative consist.
|ent with the safety of the interests Won had
|been ordered to protect but to pursue the course
you took upon the Sd and 9TH instant: but I
must apprise You that in-cases of this nature.
n is not for me to pronounce conclusive judp.
|ment. 1 FtsI,
With respect to the measures Won took for
|efectng the objects you had in view, suppos-
png these to have been justifiable, / am at lib
lerty to form more decided opinion and I
have, therefore, to inform that your personal
conduct and that Of the gallant captain, officers
and men who co-operated with you from the
United States ship Plymouth, and the conduct
of Commander Keane, and of Lieutenants
Dew, Hemstead, Majendie, and Montgomery.
ana OF the seamen and marines and gentlemen
volunteers engaged on the occasion referred to.
mas elicited my warmest admiration and /
shall take an opportunity to bring to the notice
OF the admiralty the names of the officers YOU
particularly mention, and Of the 10 marines
who so resolutely withstood the attacks of a
very superior force upon the Sd of the month.
