From the Charleston Courier.. Thc Declaration of Indepen dence in Blank Verse. A WELL KNOWN DOCUMENT sLIGBTLY PARAPHRASE. When, in their course, hana events compel One people to dissolve the social bands, That linked them with another, and to take Among the -powers of the Earth th.t station, 'q-ual, and separate, to which the laws Of Nature and of Nature's God. by right, Entitle them-respect to the opiniuns Of fellow men call on thenm to declare The causes, - hich btve rendered necessary Such separation. We, then, hold tl-ese truths To be self-evident-That all mankind Are equal, and endowed, by their Creator w ith certain analienable raghts That amongst these ate Lite, and Liberty, And the Pursuit of Happiness-That men, To make these rights available and safe, Have instituted (governments, deriving Their lawful power from the free consent Of those they govern-That when any form Of Government is proved to be destructive Of these their ends, it is the People's right To alter, or-abolish it, and found A government anew, with principles - So laid for its foundation, and with powers In such form organized, as shall to them Seem most conducive to their happiness -And safety. Prudence will,indeed, dictate That long-established Governments should not Be changed for any light or transient cause ; And all experience, accordingly, Hath shown that men are more dispose to suffer So long as evils are endurable. Than to assert their rights, and throw aside Their customary forms. But, when abuses And usurpations, in a lengthened train, Pursue one object steadfastly, evincing - A firm design to bow .them down beneath Absolute despotism, it is thoir right, It is their bounden ditty to throw off Such Government, and to provide new guards For their security in future. Such Has been the patient sufferance of these Our Colonies, and such is now the need. That forces them to change their prescut sys tems Of Governmaut. Great Britain's present King hBath made his history the history Of usurpation,and of injuries, Often repeated, and directly tending To the establishment of Tyranny Over these States-to prove this, let the World in candor listen to undorlited facts. He has refused to give assent to laws, Wholesonie, and needful hor the public good. lie has denied his Governors the power To sanctiou lawsof pressing urgency, Unless suspended in their operation, 'Till his assent should be obtained; and when Suspended thus, lie has failed wilfully To give them further thought. lie has reftused To sanction other laws, deemed advantageous To districts thickly peopled unless they, Who dwelt therein, would basely throw away Their right-to representatives a right Inestimable to ttenmselvcs, and only . To Tyra nts tormidable. In the hope To weary them into a weak compliance With his obnoxio-as measures, he has aunt-. mnoned - The Legislative Bodies to assemble At phicesi:co eient, atd unsual, And whence theit public records were remote. He has repeatedly dissolved the Houses dof Repnre:,entatives for mnterfering With wanly lirminess, when hie has invaded The Pemiples rights. Lotig time lie hats re fuaed, After such dissolnution, to convene Others in lien ot- them: whereby, the powecrs Of Legislation,since they ight niot be Anibhilated, have for exescise Beet; forced upon the body of the people ; Leaving, meantwhitle, the nnprotected State To dtangersof invasionis I rom without, Attd inward anartchy. lHe has eiideavored To check the po.pulation of these States, Thwarting the laws lor niaturaliation Of foreigniets, withhloldinig his assent Froin other hans , that irmit encourge them In immuigrnuniig hither, and enhancimg The price of new allotmieints of the soil. * He has obstru,:ted the adiinmriirationi Of Justice, by hus vyto on the laws Establishing judtci'ry provers. h e has made Judges on his will alon~e Dependett (or the tenure of their ofhece.

We, therefore, who are here to represent States United of America, In General Congress nct, for rectitude Of our intentions to the Judge Supreme Of all things here in confidence appealing, Do, in the name, and by anthority. Of the good people of these colonies, Solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of right Ought to be, Free and Independent States. That from allegiance to the British Crown They are absolved-Tnat all connecting ties Of Policy between them and Great Britain Are, as-they should be, totally dissolved: And, that as Free and Independent States, They havd full power to levy war, conclude Peace, and contract al,iances-eatablish Commerce, and do all other acts and things Which independent States of right may -do. This is one Declaration-to support it, With firm reliance on Divine protection, We to each other mutually pledge Our lives, our fortunes, and our Sacred Honor Dr. Branarðx's Tills. WORES OF NATURE! IN a state of health the intestinal canal may be compared to a river whose waters flow over the adjoining land. through the channels nature or art has made, and tim prove their qualities; and to keep up the com parison of the river, so long as it runs on smouthly the channels are kept pure and heal thy; but if by some cause the course of the river is stopped, then the water in the canal is no longer pure, but soon becomes stagnant. There is but one law of circulation in nature. When there is a superabundance of humorial fluid (serosity) in the intestinal tubes, and cos tiveness takes place; it flows back into the blood vessels, and infilirates itself into the cir culation. To establish the free course of the river, ne must remove the obstructions which .top its free course. and those of its tributary streatms. With the body, follow the same nat ural principle-remove the obstructions from the bowels; with BRANDRETH'S PILLS, which never injnre, but are, always effectual lor the perfect cleansing of the system from fouless or disease. By persevering in this practice, the ways of the circulation will then functions, and a state of health will be firmly established. Remember, never suffer a drop of blood to be taken from you. Evacuate the humors as often and as long as they are de ranged, or as long as you are sick. U7Thae Pilleare sold at Dr. JIrandreth's O. jice, 241 Broadway, N. York.

They have passed away from the thousands daily launched on the "tide of experiment," and now stand higher in reputation, and are becoming more exten sively nsed,than any other medicine ever pre pared. They have been introduced into-every place where it has been found possible to carry them, and there are few towns, or villages, but contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. But it is not necessary to advertise them at large, or to say any thing further of them, than to 07caution those wish ing to purchase Antibillious Family Medicine, to be particular to enquire for SPENCER'S VEGETABLE PILLS. as there are niner uos preparations put on sale almost every day, of doubtful efficacy. To satisfy the world of the inestimable worth of this Medicine, I wonld simply observe, that, it has been long used by some of the leading lights of the pro fession in their extenhive practice, and is now prepared with great care, and upon scientific and chemical principles, for general use, by thepresent proprietor or.v.
