ces Of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paral-
leled In The most barbarous ages, ana
totally unworthy the head Of u civilized
nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens,
taken captive on the high seas, to bear
arms against their country, to become
the executioners of their friends and
brethern, or to fall themselves by their
hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections
among us, and has endeavored TO bring
on the inhabitants of our frontiers the
merclless Indian savages, whose known
rule OF warfare Is an undlstinguished
destruction Of all ages, sexes and condi-
tions.
In every stage Of these expressions we
have petitioned for redress In the most
humble terms: our repeated petitions
have been answ cred only by repeated In
jury. A prince, whose character is thus
marked BY every act which may define
tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of free
people.
Nor have we been wanting in atten-
tions to our British brethren. We have
warned them from time to time, of at
tempts by their legislature to extend an
unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have appealed to their native justice and
magma Unity, and we have conjured
them by the ties OF our common kindred
to disavow these usutpations, which
would inevitably interrupt our connec-
tlOns and correspondence. They too
have been deaf to the voice ofjustice and
| Of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce In the necessity which de-
nounces 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
congress assembled, appealing to the Su-
preme Judge of the world for the recti-
tude of our intentions, do, in the name
and by the authority OF the good people
Of these colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, that these united colonies, are,
and of right ought to be free and inde-
pendent States that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British crown,
and that all political connsxion between
them and the State of Great Btitian, 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
Independent States may fright do. And
for the support Of this declaration, with
a firm reliance on the protection of Divine
Providence, we mutually pledge 70 each
other our lives, our fortunes and our
sacred honor.

SWEEPING AWAY THE WAR LEG
ISLATION..

(From the Baltimore Sun-ind. dem.)
In the late session the very haitings
and delays, the apparent vacilation, and
the slowness and deliberation with
which the issues have been shaped and
put, however trying to the public pa
tience and exasperating to the souls Of
newspaper correspondents and readers,
are illustrations in their way of the
strength Of our institutions and of the
inherent capacity of our people for self
government. Nor are the results them
selves in the end to be lightly estimated
and despised. All the legislation which
the majority in Congress have been seek
ing to repeal-every particle Of it-is
relic Of the arbitrary and oppressive rule
which prevailed for some years after the
war between the States. tt3
