He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless' sus pended in their operations till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has 'neglec ted to attend to them. He has refused to pass other declaring laws for the accomodation of large districts of people, unless those lature, and reorle would relinquish the right , invested with Power of Representation in the Legisla ture, a right inestimable to - them, and formidable to tyrants on.'y.. He.has called togetLer legir-la-tive bodies at places unusual, , un comfortable and distant from the depository of their Public Ee cords for the sole purpose of. fatiguing ers, refusing to pass others to en courage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of. new Appropriations df Lands. He has obstructed the Adminis tration of Justice, by.. refusing: his Assent, to La ior , establishing Judiciary Powers. "He has . made judges depend ent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. "He has kept among us in time of peace, standing Armies, without the Consent of our Legislatures He has affected to render the Military independent of, and su perior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowl edged by our laws, giving his As sent to their acts of pretended Legislation.

"He is, at this time, transport ing large armies of foreign mercen aries to complete the works of death, desolation and tryanny, al ready begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely par alleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation." He has constrained, our fellow citizens, taken Captive on the high Seas; to bear Arms against their Country, to become the execution ers of their friends and Brethern, or to fall themselves bv their Hands. ''He has excited domestic insur rections amongst us, and has en deavored to bring on the inhabi- ants of our frontier the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rules of warfare i an undistingushed destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions." tn every stage of these dppres sions "We have Petitioned for.

We have warned them, from time to .time, of attempts made by their legislature to extend an unwar rantable jurisdiction over us.

We have appealed Ife their native justice and magnan imity, and wo have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspon dence.
