THE MANNING TiM : WEDNESDAYI JLY 6, I557 B. S. DINKINS, Edlitm-. One hundred and eleven years a" Monday, our brave and nob e tainded forefathers, decare1 the" grand thirteen States independent of the mother country. They iadJ the: Wisdom which discovered the impos sibilitv of man rebelling against man. Knowing, as they d-10. that constitn tions and laws alone could be rebelled aganst, they hesitatea not io miiak e use of all the means given to them by their God, to defeat the injustice of; 'kings, lords, and commons,' that their liberties in the end might stand upon the foundation of independence. T -rs was no rebellion either in theic hearts or in their acts. They entered into 1pen uationai war against those Who vanted more than was just and right. Their contest for independenc, could not be construed even as revolution. 'They had a perfect government; their grmies were in the field;' the great and glorious Washington was their wommander in chief. To tell us that such brave, wise, just, and patriotic men were rebels or revolutionists, is; to announce the statement indirectly, that there is no such a thing as gov ernment. Their government was as perfect as that of other nations; and I in the end proved to be much safer, 1 -and a thousand times better. In a word, our great forefathers fought for the liberties of the world, which is nothing more nor less than "the rights . of man." These principles, defended 1by our forefathers, descended from fathei to son, were the main spring and stay on which the Confederates stood in the dreadful conflict of G1-'5. Theirs was no rebellion against the Union, bat the assertion of constitu tionol rights belonging to sovereign States. The fourth of July, the anniversary of the momentous event of the decla anation of independence of the United States, is celebrated with more or less pomp and parade throughout the Union. The whole Union continues to unite in memorializing annually the rand principle of the rights of mu. And yet, 25 years ago, the cannonm of the Federalists thundered in the in ,glorious attempt to suppress tis same .principle. The Fourth of July will 'ever keep immortal the Revolution against British oppression, and pro *claim-.the~osnstitutionality of "Seces %SlfTER DISTRICT CONFERENCE.L Sxmraros, June 30th-July 3rd, 18S7. s - Rev.
