dictate that friendship long established
should not be severed for light and tran
sicnt causcs; and accordingly all experi-
ence has shown that editors are more
disposed to suffer while evils are suffera-
BILE, than to right themselves by abolish
ing the forms to which they are accus.
tomed.-But when long-standing abuses
and total disregard for every generous
feeling, having in view the same object,
evinces design to reduce to absolute
starvation, him who has labored for years
TO supply them with their mental ali
ment, it is his right, it is his duty, to re-
pudiate friendships, and provide new
guards for his future security. The
history of these outlaws is history of
repeated injuries and insults, having in
direct object the pecuniary destruction
of their best friend and benefactor. To
prove this, let facts be submitted to a
candid mind.
They have refused time and again to
pay us the first continental "dingbatn
although repeatedly called upon to do
so.
They have refused to supply us with
wood, corn, oats, potatoes, beans, peas,
pork and poultry, although our appeals
were long, loud and pathetic-fxins in
estimable to us, and formidable to rascals
only.
They have refused to supply us with
any aid whatsoever, whereby to faciIi-
tate our business operations, thus render
ing us in a measure incapable of pursu-
ing with light heart and buoyant spirits
our legitimate business; the Office in the
meantime, exposed to al danger Of an
invasion from without and conyulsions
within.
! They have endeavored to prevent the
population of these States BY dep,iying
us of the means Of these States by de-
priving us Of the means to feed and
clothe the young Boyers according to
our desire.
They have combined with others, to
subject us to the worst grievances, for
eign to our good nature, and unacknowl-
edged by our laws.
For cutting of our trade with paper
makers.
For imposing debt on US without our
consent.
For depriving US in many cases Of
benefits of market money.
/ They have plundcred our pockets,
cheated our creditors, 'burnt our fn-
gers" and done sundry other cruel and
barbarons acts, unworthy Of the charac-
ter of gentlemen.
In every stage Of these expressions
We have petitioned in the most humble
terms; our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated neglect and
consequent injury Men whose charac-
ters are thus marked by acts which may
define set of plundering scamps, are
unfit longer to be recipients Of our ia.
vo-.
| Nor have We been wanting in atten-
tion to these men; we have warned them
from time to time through the paper anc
! by letter Of "Black List" We have
reminded them Of our circumstances 20
our emigration and settlement in Car.
lise. We have appealed to their sense
Of justice and magnanimity, and thcr
1--WE have conjured them by all the ties o.
good fellowship to send aleng the "Al.
mighty Dollar'' or we would inevitably
interrupt our connection and correspon.
dencc with them. But they have beer
deaf to the voice of justice, reason and
humanity. We must therefore, acqui.
esce in the necessity which denounces
our separation, and hold them as we dc
all others like them, scamps when they
don't pay Us, when they do, the best Of
f clever fellows and good citizens.
; We, therefore, the editor Of the
American Pemoc.at, appealing to all

And for the support Of this Declaration
with firm reliance on the protection ol
