TOMORROW will be the one hundred

laration of Independence, written by
Thomas Jefferson, and adopted and
Issued by the English colonies within the
limits of the present United States
of America. Among the assigned
reasons for it's issuance were that the
mother country had erected multi
tude of offices and appointed swarms OF
officers to eat out the substance of the
people, and had cut of the trade of the
colonies with all parts of the world.

fought against such an enormous multi
tude of Office holders as now exist, and
to pay the high salaries of whom the
people are overburdened with taxes on
every every thing they have to eat,
drink and wear in order to live, and
against q tariff law that not only cuts
off the trade of the country from all
the other parts of the world, bat, as has
been stated in the Senate, is declara
ton of commercial war against every
other civilized nation. But American
feeling in the eighteenth, was vastly
