Bisbee daily review., 1905-07-02

When, in the course of human events, 1t becomes necessary for one people 10 dissolve the political bands which have connected them with an. other, and to assume. among the pow. CTS Of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and natures God entitle them, decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should de- clare the causes which impel them to the separation.
 We hold these truths to be self-evi. dent-that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Crea- tor with inalienable rights; that among these are life. liberty and ths pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are insti- tuted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the gov erned; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, 1t is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. and to Institute a new government, layf.sE it's foundations on such principles, and organizing it's powers in such form. as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence. indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all expe- rience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right them selves by abolishlng the forms to which they are accustomed. But when long train of abuses and usur- S2tions, pursuing invariably the same object. evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism.it is their right, 1t is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of govern ment The history of the recent King of Great Britian is a history of re- peated injuries and usurpations. all having. in direct object the establish ment of an absolute tyrany over these States. To prove this. let facts be submitted to candid world:
 He has refused his assent 10 laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good
 He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and. when so suspended. he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
 He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large dis
