which led to his being relieved of bts

Mr.. Storer IN very high esteem. and .haf

Tuesday Evening,
Declaration of independence

1--WE hold these truths to be self evident, that all
men created equal that they endowed by their
Creator with certain inaenable rights; that among
these are hfe liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.
That to secure these rights governments instituted
among men, deriving their just powers from the
sent of the governed; that whenever form of
right of the people to alter abolish it, and to insti
tute new government, laying it's foundation such
principles and organizing Its powers Ia such FORM as
to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety
and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
for light and transient causes; and accordingly all
suffer- while evils are sufferable than to right them
selves by abolishng the forms to which they are &C
customed. But when long train of abuses and usur
pations pursuing invariably the object, evnces
design to reduce them under absolute despotis it is
their right, it is their duty to throw off such govern
ment, and to provide guards for their future
curty Such has been the patient suerance Of these
colonies, and such is the necessity which con-
strains them to alter their former systems of govern
ment."
In it's arraignment Of King George the Declaration
of Independence says: -.a&.
