of this DfcliiratiiT,, the prclamation to

is " with theiyears beyend the flocx!."
It is of no mrie mteresr to us than the

forty years have revohed since the strug

independence" is nh longer upon trial ; the
fnal sentence upon it has long been pass

survived the occasion upon which it was
issued ; the interest which is of every age
& every clime ; the intercut which quick
