Book of Nature," all inorganic' matter that
falls into the glsciers sinks, and after a time
is thrown up to the surface, while the organic
remains, quickly decaying in the rigid, fro sen

The skies grew soft o'er Grin.Ilswsld,
And sun.mer blue its peaks o'er hung,
While 'neath the sunshine's golden wing, -
An anthem dim and sweet was sung
From newly-wedded mountain rills,
That to the warm midsummer's kiss,
AwaKen'd from their dreamless sleep,
And sprsng to life, and laughed in bliss,
li
The sun shone on rnd streamlets lipped,
The stolid glacier's ice -bound feet,
Till cbaina were loosed and frozen fields,
O'erwhelmed the groves and valley sweet,
And st the loot of Grindlewald, '
It covered in its cold embrace.
Through many long and sileot years, .
The chspel that bad marked the place.

The warm lipped summers came and went,
And warmer, softer grew their tretd.
Above the spt where lay eiitomed.
The chapel and its dieamleas desd.
And lo I like some heart's buried dream
That drifts up by a mystic spell,
There rose from out ;he glacier's breast
The o'erwuelmed chapel's silent bell.

Through silent groves and craggy pass,

DECLARATION OF
INDEPEN
DUNCE.
In Congress, Thursday, July 4, 1776.
Agreeably to the order of the day, the Con
grens resolved itself into a committee of the
whole, to take Into the;r further considera
tion the Declaration ; and after some time
the President resumed the chair, and Mr. Har
rison reported thst the committee bad agreed
to a Declaration, which they desired him to
report . The committee consisted of Jeffer
son, Franklin, John Adams, Sherman and R.
R. L:vingaton
The Declaration being lead, was agreed to,
as follows :
A DECLARATION.
By the Reprttentatioet of tht United State, in
isongren jutmwea
When, in the course of human events, it be
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them
with another, and to assume, an ong the pow
ers of t-e earths the separate and equal sta
tion to which the laws of nature and of na
ture's God entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions ol mankind requires that they
shonld declare the causes which impel them
to the separation, s 'i
We bold these truths to be sell evident, tbst
all men are created equil ; that they are en
dowed by their Creator with certain unaliena
ble righto that among these, aru life, liberty
and the pursuit ci ha ppiness." That to secure
these rights, Governments aro instituted
among men, deriving their just pi wers from
the e nsent of the governed ; that, whenever
any form ot government becomes destructive
ot these ends, it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it. and to institute a nsw
government, btying its foundation on auch
principles, and organizing its powers in such
form, as to. them shall seem most likely to
eflect their safety and happiuess. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that governments long es
tablished, should not be chanced (or light
and transient causes ; and, accordingly, all
experience hath shown, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are suf
ferable, than to right themselves by abolish
ing the forms to which they are accustomed
But, when a long train of abuses and usur
pations, pursuing invar ibly the same object,
evinces a design to reduce them under abso
lute despotism, it is their right, i$- is toen
piwTwv new guaniB lor weir rutorp . security.
Such has been the patient suffersaee of these
colonies, and such is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their former systems
f government. The history of the present
King of Great Britain is a history of repeat
ed injuries and usurpations, all having, in di
rect object, the establishment of an absolute
tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
facts be submitted to a candid world t
He has refused his assent to laws the most
wholesome and neeesssry for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws
of immediate and pressing importance, unless
suspended in their operation till bis assent
should be obtained ; and when so suspended,
be has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He hss refused to pass other laws for the
accommodation of large districts of people
unless those people wsuld relinquish the right
of representation in the Legislature ; a right
inestimable to them, snd formidable to tyrants
only.
He hss called together legislative bodies at
places unusual, uncomlortable, and distant
from the depository of their public records,
for the sole purpose of latiguing them into
compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses re
peatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness,
bis invasions on the rights of the people.
He has re I used, for a long time alter such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ;
whereby the legislative powers, incapable of
annihilation, have returned to the people at
large, for their exercise , the State remaning,,
in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers
of invasion Irom without, and convulsions
witiiin.
lie has endeavored to prevent the popula
tion of these States ; for that purpose, ob
structing the laws for naturalisation of for
eigners ; refusing to pass others to encourage
their migration hither, and raising the con
ditions of new appropriations ot lands.'
He has obstructed the administration if
justice, by refusing to assent lo laws for es
tablishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on Lis will
alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the
amount and payment of their salaries.
He hss erected a multitude of new offices,
and sent hither starms of officers to harass
our people, snd eat out their substsoce.
He has kept among us in times of peace
stanain? armies, without the consent of our
legislature.
He hss affected to render the military in
dependent of, and superior to, tl civil power.
He has con bined, with others, to subject us
to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution,
and unacknowledged by our lava ; giving his
assent to their acts of legislation.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us ; - '
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from
punUbment, tor any murders which they
should commit on the inhabitants of these
States;
For cutting off our trade with all parts of
the w orld :
For imposing taxes on us without our con
sent :
For depriving us, in many cases, of the
benefits of trial by jury ;
For transporting us beyond eess to be tried
for pretended offences j
For abolishing the free system of English
laws in a neighboring province, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and enlarg-
ing its boundaries, so as to render it at once
an example and fit instrument for introduc
ing the same absolute rule into these colon
ies :
For taking away our charters, abolishing
our mo it valuable laws, and altering, funda
mentally, the powers of our governments j
For suspending our own legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with power to
legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by de
claring us out oi Lis protection, and waging
war against us. -
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towns and destroyed the
lives of our people.
He is, at this time, transporting large ar
mies of foreign mercenaries to con pie te the
works of destb, desolation , and tyrauny, al
ready begun, with circumstances of cruelty
and perfidy scarcely paralellsd in the most
barbarous ages and totally unworthy the
bead of a civilized nation.
He has const rsined our fellow-citizens, tak
en captive on the high seas, to bear arms
against their country, to becoms the execu
te nets of their friends and brethren, or to
fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic T insurrections
amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on
the inbabitaats of our (re ntiers, the merci
less Indian savages, whose known rule of
warfare is an undistinguished destruction, of
all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stag of those oppressions, we have
petitioned for redress in the most bumble
terms ; our repeated petitions have been an
swered only by repeated injuiy. A prinee,
whose character is thus marked by every
aclr which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be
the ruler ol a free people. . .
Nor bare we been wanting in attention to
our British brethren. We have warned them
troni time to tinr.e, of attempts made by tbeir
'egislature to exteud an unwarrantable juris
diction over us. We have reminded them of
the circumstances of our emigration and set
tlement here. We hare appealed to their na
tive justice and magnanimity, and we have
conjuiea mem, oy me ties or our common
kicdred, to disavow thee usurpations, which
would inevitably interrupt our connections
and correspondence. - They, too. have been
deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity
We mnst, therefore, acquiesce to the neces"
sitr, whicb denouns our separation, am! bold
tbem, as we hold the 'rest of mankind, ene
mies in war in peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the
UXI ED STATES OF AMERICA, in GEN
ERAL CONGRESS assembled, appealing to
the Supreme Judge of the World tor the rec
titude of cur intensions, do in the name and
by the authority of the good prople of these
colonies, solemnly publish and declare. That
these United Colonies are, and of right ought
to be, Fbes and Independent States ; that
they are absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown , and that all political connec
tion between them and Great Britain, is, and
ought to be totally dissolved ; and that, as
FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, tbey
have full power to levey war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce, and
to do all other acts and things which INDE
PENDENT STATES mar of right do. And
for the support of this Declaration, with a
firm reliance on the protection of DIVINE
PROVIDENCE, we mutually pledge each
other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.

SENATOR MORTON'S SPEECH AT
PtTTslUKG.
An Extract Worth Reading.
They say there is a -similar ring
at the Executive Mane ion that
Gens. Babcock and Porter are ta
ken irom the army to act aa pri
vate secretaries to Grant.. All very
true, gentlemen. They are well
qualified to perform the duties re
quired of them. Tbey are simply
dotailed to perform these duties.
Grant, as Commander-in-Chief of
the Aimy, has the right to appoint
them . It entails no additional ex
pense on the government. There is
not very much for the army to do.
The proportion of officers is much
larger than is needed in the present
strength of the arm-. They have
no more to do with the adminiatra
tion than the private secretary of
Governor Geary Duriag the war
I had ball a dozen while acting in
the capac ty of Governor ot Indi
ana These Generals write Grain's
letter?, relieve him of his official
drudgery, carry hi meeaages to
Congress, and perform numberlfSi ,
other duties Gens. Babcock anl
Porter bave brought messages to
Congress frora the President nearly
every day since the silting ot tha
body, but tbey had no mure to d-
with the messages tnan the iftter
carrierhas to no witli the conu-ni!-ot
the missivt s ue brings lo out
doors I know thai you all ieel
that 'his is a very con'mptii e
tiling, and it is absolutely uien
that on this account they wUn to
overthrow the very best udminis
tration this coumry ever had.
THE PRS-IDkNTIAL GIFT TAKING
There is another ihing The)
say he has received presents! Well,
he did receive presents heiore be
was elected President of the United
States. I never heard of hitn re
ceiving p'eeenta after that event'
He periorme'i great services, ami
the people knowing that he was &
poor man, took this method of
showing their gratitude When
our fashionable Generals had failed
those from whom the country ex
pected the most General Giant
restored victory to our banners,
and did more than anv other man
to crush out the rebellion. 'When
the war was over, a grateful peo
ple, from their abundance, sought
to make him some presents in or
der to relieve him from his pover
ty. TGreat applause.! General
McClellan, who never won a victo
ry of any consequence, received
more and larger presents ; yet the
Democratic party placed him in
nomination in Ibo4. lnere is no
objection, I presume, to an unlor-
tunate General receiving presents
It is only when eivea to victorious
Generals that they become repre
nensible - J Applause J Now, my
friends, some people never get
presents. They never did any
thing for which anybody had cause
to be gratetui. Such persons are
extremely virtuous on that subject.
Whenever yon meet these virtuous
people, look out for them ; in nine
cases out of ten they will steal,
applause, because larceny and
hypocrisy have always been inti
mately connected. I think I have
gone over the threo things which
politicians are urging as objections
to General Grant, and you - will
agree with me that they aro mean,
small, and exceedingly contempt
ible. While thus speaking of Gen
ersl Grant's part in the war of tha
rebellion, I do not wish to dispar
age the careers of Generals Sher
man Sheridan, Burnside. and the
many from this great State ; yet
hiato y will write it down that
Grunt was chief ot ali.
BLACK FRIDAY.
No man, s nee the time of Wash
mgton, has been calumniated mote
than Grant. Why, he had hardlv
sot into office when he was charged
with being engaged in 'a goid con
spiracy. lbat waa investigated.
and everybody acknowledged that
the charge was an infamous lie.
COBNSB LOTS IN SAN 0 iJlINGO
And then we had ether charges.
Then came the story thai he hud
property in San Domingo, and 'hat
his property was staked ntT into
lots. The Commissioners were on
the ground, and fcund that it was
al-o a base falsehood, when it was
also dropped
THB NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.
Again, they charged htm with
being conjcf.ted with frauds said
to have . been discovered in the
New York Custom house a place
that has been a barbor for corr ip
firn fftr ot. lonsfc hsilf n pniitnrv
There was corruption hero when
the Democracy was in power. But
they charged that he was in collu
sion with those who committed
frauds in the New York Custom
house. An investigation, close
and searching, completely exoner
ated him, showing that the charge
was utterly and shamefully false.
THE FRENCH ARMS SALES.
After that cnarge was worn out
a new one was concocted, now fa
miliarly known as the French arms
scandal a charge that we had
sold arms to France, and were
likely to make an enemy of Ger
manyof the Germans who had
stood by ns throughout our civil
war. The charge was really made
with the object of alienating the
patriotio German of this country
from the Republican party, by
making them believe that the Pres
ident had connived at tbe sale of
arms to France. An investigation
was ordered by both Houses of
Congress, and in . each case no
ground whatever wm found nor ft
single circumstance discovered up
on which each a charge 1 coul 1 be
based.. That . calumny has . gone
the way of the rest But I have no
not time to follow them all.
h kM, 1872,
Ulysses S: Grant.
; We make the above announce
ment, not to attract special no
tice, of to indicate extra-officious
zeal, but because it expresses
OUR MOST EMPHATIC
PREFERENCE, and we don't
see why we should not say so.
Gen. Grant, in some eminent re
spects, has shown himself as
much superior in civil as in mil
itary aftairs. lie ht- promptly
taken positions and assum d re
fponsinilitiKs which no mere
politician, "of th ordinary run
of our statemu, would have
d.tred to do. Take for instance
his direct antiouuCfmeut in his
inaugural iddrss in favor of Ne
gro Suffrage. The party which
elected mm nad dodged the
question in its plitfotm. What
other men, outside of the pro
nounced Radicals, but woird
have followed that example as
President, and doilg d, or at
least postponed a declaration on
the subiect? but not so with
Grant An old-tim .' Democrat !
before the war, he at once de
monstrated the soundness of his
conversion, the frank heroism of
his nature, as well as the high
est statesmanship, by taking the
bull by the horns.
In like manner on the subject
of the payment of the National
Debt, on which, also, his party
had trimmed and prevaricated,
he did not hesitate to take the
responsibility of a clear state
ment of his position, at the im
minent hazard of his popularity.
Again, his putting the man
agement of our Indian Affairs
in Quaker hands, shows a mind
much above the grade of the
mere politician a practical wis
dom which is being vindicated by
results.
Last, but not least, we ap
plaud his prompt, manly, hearty
recognition of the French Re
public. How refreshing it was
to every true man to hear cur
Chief Magistrate "speaking right
out in meeting" on that subject!
no halting no equivocation.
It was an example amidst the
senseless pr,o-Prussiau folly
which bad swept over the coun
try, and showed that we have a
President of eminent democratic
proclivities. '! ;
These few points alone in his
record, among many similar, give
to the world in General Grant,
ASSURANCE OF A MAN. To which
let us not forget to add. that HE
hus FAITHFULLY KEDKEM
ED ALL HIS PLAGES TO
THE PEOPLE. -..While, there
fore, we are, as a general rule,
in favor of "the one term prin

"He's Only a Farmer Boy.'
How oftn has tl.U lernark chill
ed the heart of the unsophisticated
country boy? How n.any fine
working; noble hearted boys , has
it diiven from the plow handles to
behind the counlei ? spilling him
who might have made a fitst'class
farmer, to make a third class busi
ness man. Fathers and mothers
have seen and felt.tbis to be true,
and yet they have been induced to
let their son 'go to town lo live,'
rather than keep him at home to
have him looked down upon as
only a poor farmer boy ' Thanks
to a kind providence, this day tias
well nigh passed away. Now.your
son if he studies to 'show himselt
an approved workman need not
feel ashamed of his calling, for he
stands at tbe post of honor when
he makes bis well managed farm
challenge the admiring gaze of all
passers by. Here is a field for all
his talents snd learning, and in no
other calling can he use them to
such fine advantage to himself and
others. The fathers or the land
ought to feel prouder of their suc
cessful 'farmer boys, than if filling
earth's reputed high positions
when gained by trickery and offi
cial, corruption. Work to make
your . sons proud of farming, and
its reward and honors.

Chased by a Saw-log.

Yes, that has often occurred, nut
did you ever hear of being chased
by a sawIog, as it chanced to
French Canadian out in Curtls's
woods last week? It happened
thuswise: They were cutting the
umber irom loo Drow 01 a inn in
these famous woods, and rolling it
to the bottom where a steam saw
mill is to be erected. . The French
man was one of tho lumbermen,
and waii a tempting to manipulate
a buge log for a safe des ent.when
he discovered that it was getting
the better of him .- He was on tbe
under side and it would not do to
'let it slide so he screamed for
help. Bat no help came. His
strength was surely and rapidly
failing and thee wasno bing to do
but to ma lor it, and run he did
a tearful race The natural philos
ophtrs say I hat a log gams in ra
pidiiy as it descends. It is other
wise with human legs on a mo,
even as in this case the de-cent is
steep and icy. There was no turn
ing out, and the log gained with
terrible rapidity on the iiLhteued
Cannuck, und was now ju.it on ais
heels, when luckily hepied a hol
low in his path into which be pop
ped with a hound; but had barely
time to huddle bimeelf into bis
hole, when crash ! crash ! the log
thundered over him, and left him
eat., but about tbe most badly
scared man that ever naliooed in
Lurtis s woods, if bis nerves are
no stronger than ours claim to be.
And that is how a eaw-log chased

What shall we do with human
nature . It is the very cause of all
the trouble brewing in Church and
State. If it were not for human
nature there would bo no quarrels,
no violence, no avarice, no bitter
rivalries, no conspiracies or treach
eries . But for human nature, how
easy it would be to bring up child"
ren, to carry on schools, to organs
ize and manage churches ! See
how editors are quarreling with
each other. It is all human
nature ! Commerce is disturbed
by infinite dejections of, human
nature in its affiairs. Politics are
made very troublesome by human
nature. It disturbs
religious " I
bodies, creeps into Book Concerns
and dwells in Tract Societies. If
we could get rid or human na
ture, things would "go on smoothly, '.
and with not a tithe of tho labor
now required. .
The remidies hitherto attempted
have been many. Wheo human!
nature runs to heresy, the dungeon ' !
and the stake have been found '
efficient remedies. In htate affairs
the gibbet and the guiltotine have
put an end to troublesome fellows.
The bayonet is found to be a good
catechism in Europe to millions of
men who have too much unregulat

But in America a milder term is
in vogue. w nen anytning goes
wroat, we amend tbe Constitution!
There are few disorders that afflict
society whicb, in the judgment of
many eminent practiooers, may not
be met by an amendment of the
Constitution.
There is Mr. Sumner - for fa
s' ance, who is just now made to
realize, deeply, that part of total
depravity committed by the enemy
of souls to the care of - Presidents
of the United States. He per.
ceives and grieves over the human
nature of Grant, this man has
four years of bliss and now wants
four more, the monster! The
utter indifference of Grant to the
teeiings or men mark him as a
cold hearted Tyrant. There is the
childlike Chief Justice gently will
ing to bo compelled to take the
office; what does Grcnt care?
Scores of Senators who follow in
the Apostles steps, st that point of
their history where they disptuted
which should be chief among them
are ready to sit down in the
Presidential chair; but Grant
won't get up ? Is that politeness ?
The presidential afflatus is borne
in on - editors, generals, lawyers,'
citizens without number. Grant
cares for none of these things ?
Mr. Greeley would have the Presi
dential fever put into the chapter
of disorders that can be taken but
once. Grant, a soldier, thinks the,
Presidency should be doubled bar-,
reled. ' He means to fire of with
the other barrel ! Dr. Young, .in

In sober earnest, we think there
was never so much absurdity and
ignorance compressed in an equal
space as in this proposal to cure
the evils of ambition incident to
high office by prescribing a Single
Term. It will take away from the
people the power of re-electing a
good officer if they wish, without
taking away a particle of tht power
of a bad officer to nse his position
for the f utterance of personal
ambition.- Kings who hold tne
office for life, and cannot be re
elected, are prone to abape their'
policy for tbe succession of, their
heir or favorite.
A one-term President will want a
successful administration. Shrewd
leaders will say, We will secure $o
yon all yon want daring yoor term
if you will play into oar hands; for

prevent a President from intrigu
ing for himself, but it will not pre
vent him from intriguing for hie
favorites: ,

KNOW VOTHINGMM.
The Democratic papers publish.
what they call, . Henry Wilson's
Know-Nothing record. As parti
san warfare this is probably fair.
But is it consistent to complain of
the publication of. Horace Gree
ley's political -record running
through the past twelve years as
unfar ; though, Mr. Greeley has
not uttered a word to withdraw or
repudiate any of the views 6e had
uttered prior to his npmioatioa for
the Presidency at Cincinnati.. The
Know-Nothing excitement 2 died
out in 1854. . No party, person or
statesman has sought to revive it
6ince. . It Uvea only in the efforts
of tho Democrats, who refer to it
for partisan purposes, and after
the organizers (and leaders) of the
Know-Nothing lodges, very gen
erally had become members of the
Democratic party. In this city,
of the men active as Know-Nothings
in 1854, we can count two of
them, who are now Democrats to
every one who acts with the Re
publicans. As we have said Know
Notbinsrism was abandoned long
before the war of rebellion' had
made great changes ia the person
nel of the two great parties, Mr.
Greeley, however, steadfastly ad
heres to his assertion in 1863," that
'the man (Gen Blair) who propos
scs to overthrow tbe reconstruction
laws by revolutionary conspiracy
arid military force is a blacker
traitor than even Louis Nanolf on .
This was said OT the Democratic
platform of 1868, the last authori
tative utterance the party has
made, and the Democratic candi
date for Vice President standing
upon it. Yet the Democrats aro
willing to condemn Henry Wilson
on a charge of Know-Nothingisui,
which has been dead nearly twenty
years, and take Mr. Gieeley, with
all the political sins tbey bave
charged upon him, and for . which
he has not and does not propose to
condone, for their candidate for
President of the United States !
The charge of Know-Knothingism
against Henry Wilson is as silly as
as the fact which is some
times urged that he was a shoe
maker at Natick Mass., or ss the
charge made by Senator Sum ner,
in a speech which Democrats call
great, that Grant was a Galena
tanner, i ; v;
There is no unification or palia-

'lime honored and immutable' po

views of one man, Mr. Greeley,
who is a Repulican, and opposed

How Mr. Seward Drew a Revolver
on Toomb.""
. From a Waabingtoa Letter.
Not long ago a gentleman was
telling me a senatorial anecdote of,
and dated back to the ante beilum
days . Mr . Seward had made a .
speech something abons the tele graphwhen
Mr. Toombs ot
Georgia, rose to reply, and
made a speech of real and person
al abuse of Seward . He wrought
himself np into a rage and lashed
about in tbe most aggressive man
ner He finished and took bis
seat.. As Mr! Seward rose from his
chair every eye was .bent upon him
with the greatest anxiety. -
With calm, measured step he
walked toward Mr. Toombs. It
was noticed that his right hand was
under the rear pocket of his coat.
There was apprehension that he
was concealing a pistol, end - Mr.
Ts friends crowded around him .
When Mr. Seward reached him he
drew ont his hand, opening his
snuff-box, politely invited his ad
versary to take a pinch., of snuff.
My God! said Mr. Toombs. Mr.
Seward, bar - you no feelings?
Take a pinch of snuff. It will sooth
your agitation. He then returned
phis seat,and without any allusion
to Mr. Toombs or his speech, made
an able argument to favor ot bit
measure, which carried, as cool
ness andselfpossession will si ways
I win tne victory over hot temper
