A NEW DECLARATION or INDEPENDENCE

was reread yesterday all over the United States.
But it was not read by unanimous consent. Here
and there an Independent of the New Haven or the
Boston school bolte1 tho document. Tho reasons
that constrained them to do so appear in the re-
vised and amended Declaration of Independence,
containing all the modern improvements to which
tley have set their hands and seals aud which is to
form Que of the series of campaign documents to
be issued from tho Independent headquarters.
The TRIBUNE has been placed in possession of
the advance sheets of tho first rough draft of tho
new Declaration. Whether 1t IL destined to fire
the popular heart and supplant the old Declaration
| remains-ike tho oircus-to DO seen. This IS the
now Declaration

powers of tho Garth tho soparare and equal stat OF

of the woll-known firm of tho Lion and

American continent was instituted among men,
deriving its just powers from the consent of Profess

Of this end and assumes to have Foreign Policy,
il is the right of the pcoplo-moaning the aforesaid
Sumner aud his associatcs-tO alter abolish IT. or
at all events TO doroat James o. Blaine and the Re-
publican party, both being notoriousy IN favor OF
a Nations having n Foreign Policy Prudence. in
deed would dictate that political organization
long established and of patriotic recOrd-whose
vices for humanity and freedom shall SHINE like
the stars forever and ever-shoud not be
changed for light aud transient causes
and accordingly, all experience hath sho nm that
the Free Traders Of the United state have for many
years condoned the Republican party. Bat when a
long train of Protection measures pursuing invari-
ably the same object, evinces a hellish design to
cater for the home rather than tho foreign market
it is their right it is their duty to hold meetings in
Boston and New-IIaven and resolve not to support
James g. Blaine. The Free Traders and their allies
have suffered PATIENTLY and thoy now con-
strained to request tho majority to allow the will
of the minority to prevail The history of the pres
ent Presidential nominee of the Republican party
is history we'll calculated to make Eastwood

the woods in abject dismay. TO prove this let
facts be submitted to n candid world.
