We hold these .truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of tliese ends, it is the right of the lieople to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on sucli principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safet}-- and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be clianged for light and tran.sient causes; and, accordingly, all ex- perience hatii shown that mankind are more disposed to sutler, while evils are sufterable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and unsur- pations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw oir such government and to provide new guards for their future security. '^uch has been the patient sutferance of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of gov- ernment. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the estab- lishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world: He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operations till his assent should be obtained, and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large dis- tricts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of repre- sentation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them, arid formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfort- able, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole jjurpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after 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 remain- ing in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states, for that purpose obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners, refus- ing to jtass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the admiraistration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary poAvers. DECLABATION OF INDEPENDENCE. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the teniire of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of of- ficers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislature. He has effected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation. For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us. For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states. For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world. For imposing taxes on us without our consent. For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury. | For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences. For abolishing the free system of English laws'in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boun- daries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for intro- ducing the same absolute rule into these colonies. For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally, the powers of our governments. For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves in- vested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protec- tion, 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 armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralled 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 executioners of their friends and brethern, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontier the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been Avanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts made by their legisla- ture to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usur- pations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and corres- pondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consan- guinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our seperation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war; in peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the au- thority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and de- clare, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free AND Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to %he British crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy war, con- clude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support oi this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of De- vine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our for- tunes, and our sacred honor.

During the third day of the session, a motion was made to adjourn sinie die. The speaker ruled the motion out of order, but upon an appeal the decision of the chair was reversed, but when the motion to adjourn smie die was put to the house it failed by one vote. Journal H. R. 186G, p. 11. AMENDMENTS. Can not Amend a Senate Message. The speaker ruled tnat the house can not amend a senate message. (Journal H. R. 1881, p. 108). Former Action can only be Reached by a Reconsideration. Point of order raised that when a substance of an amendment has been decided by a former action of the house, it could only be reacheii by a motion to reconsider, sustained by the chair. (Journal H. R. 1887, p. 502). BALI.OTING FOR CANDIDATES. Dropping Candidates from the ltible of division into several questions, and it is supposed that the assembly may approve of some but not of all these parts, it is a Compendious mode made of amendment to divide the motion into sepa- rate (luestions, to be separately voted upon and decided l;y the assembly, a proposition, to be divisible, must comprehend points so distinct and entire, that, if one or more of them be taken away, the others may stand entire and by themselves. FILLING BLANKS. It often happens that a proposition is introduced with blanks purposely left by the mover to be filled by the assembly, either with times and MANUAL OP PABLIAMENTARY PRACTICB. numbers, or with provisions analogous to those of the proposition itself In the latter case, blanks are filled in the same way that other amendments by the insertion of words are made. In the former propositions to fill blanks are not considered as amendments to the question, but as original, motions, to be made and decided before the principal question. The rule is, that if the larger comprehends the lesser, as in question to what day a postponement shall take place, the number, of which a com- mittee shall consist, the amount of a fine to be imposed. The question must begin a mazimo and be first taken upon the greatest or farthest and so on to the least or nearest, until the assembly comes to a vote ; but if the lesser include the greater, as in questions on the limitation of the rate of interest, on the amount of a tax, on what day the session of a legislative assembly shall be closed by adjournment, or what day the next session shall commence, the question must first be taken on the least or nearest, and so on to the greatest or most remote until the assembly comes to a vote. GENERAL RULES RELATING TO AMENDMENTS. All amendments of which a proposition is susceptible, as far as form is concerned, may be effected in one of three ways: namely, either by in- serting or adding certain words; or by striking out certain words; or striking out certain words, and inserting or adding others. Amendments by Striking Out. If an amendment is proposed by striking out a particular paragraph or certain words, and the amendment is rejected, it cannot be again moved to strike out the same words or a part of them. If an amendment by striking out is agreed to, it cannot be afterwards moved to insert the same words struck out, or a part of them. Amendment by Inserting:. If an amendment is proposed by inserting or adding a paragraph or words and the amendment is rejected, it cannot be moved again to insert the same w ords or a part of them. If it is proposed to amend by in serting a paragraph, and the amendment prevails, it cannot be afterwards moved to strike out the same words or a part of them. Amendment by Striking out and Inserting. The third form of amending a proposition, namely by striking out certain words and inserting others in their place. If the motion is divided, the question is first to be taken on striking out, and, if that is decided in the affirmative, then on inserting; but if the former is decided in the negative, the latter falls, of course If the motion to strike out and insert is put to the question mdivided and is decided in the negative, the same motion cannot be made again. If the motion to strike out and insert is decided in the afiirmative, it cannot be then moved to insert the words struck out or a part of them, or to strike out the words inserted or a part of them. Amendments Clianging tlie Nature of a Question. It is allowable to amend a proposition in such a manner as entirely to alter its nature, and to make it bear a sense different from what it was originally intended to bear; so that the friends of it, as it was first intro- duced, may themselves be forced to vote against it in its amended form. 70 MANUAL OF PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE. The Order and Succession of Questions. It is a general rule, that when a proposition is regularly before a de- liberative assembly, for its consideration, no other proposition or motion can regularly be made or arise so as to take the place of the former, and be first acted upon, unless it be either, first, a privileged question; sec- ondly, a subsidiary question; or, thirdly, an incidental question or mo- tion. All these motions take the place of the principal motion, or main question as it is usually called, and are to be first put to the question; and among themselves also, there are some which, in like manner, take the place of all the others. Some of these qiiestions merely supersede the principal question, until they have been decided, and when decided, whether aiJir- matively or negatively, leave that question as before. Others of them al- so supersede the principal question until they are decided; and, when decided one way, dispose of the principal question, but, if decided the other way, leave it as before. Privilegfed Questions. There are certain motions or questions which, on account of their sup- erior importance attributed to them, either in consequence of a vote of the assembly, or in themselves considered, or of the necessity of the pro- ceedings to which they lead, are entitled to take the place of any other subject or proposition which may then be under consideration, and to be first acted upon and decided by the assembly. These are called privil- eged questions, because they are entitled to precedence over other ques- tions though they are of different degrees among themselves. Questions of this nature of three kinds: namely, first, motions to adjourn; secondly, motions or questions relating to the rights and privileges of the assembly, or of its members individually; and thirdly, motions for the orders of the day. Adjoomment. A motion to adjourn takes the place of all other questions whatsoever; for otherwise the assembly might be kept sitting against its will; and for an indefinate time; but, in order to entitle this motion to precedence, it must be simply to "adjourn." The reason why a motion to adjourn moved for the purpose of supersed- ing or suppressing a pending question, is not susceptible of amendment, is, that if amended, it woiild at once become inadmissable, in point of order, on the ground of its being introductory to a second question, hav- ing no privilege to take the place of a question already pending, and en- titled to be first disposed of. Questions of Privilege. The questions next in relative importance, and which supersede all others for the time being, except that of adjournment, are those which concern the rights and privileges of the assembly or of its individual members. When settled, the question interrupted by it is to be resumed at the point where it was suspended. Orders of the Day. When a consideration of a subject has been assigned for a particular day, by an order of the assembly, the matter so assigned is called the order of the day for that day. A question which is thus made the subject of an order for its consi Newberry, Hamilton Co. When the order of introduction of bills "is reached, the member rises in his place and saj's: "Mr. Speaker, I ask leave to introduce a bill," when he hands it over to one of the pages to be handed to the Chief Clerk, when it is read the first time and ordered to a second reading. On the next or a subsequent day, when the order of "bills on the second reading," is reached the bill is read the second time, ordered to be printed, and referred to a committee. Action of Committees. When a committee, to whom has been referred a bill for their consider- ation, make amendments to it, they should be careful to make them in such a way as to be readily comprehended by the clerks. But no part of A CHAPTEB ON LEGISLATIVE PKACTICE. any bill should be mutilated, nor any interlineations made, and no amendments made in pencil should be entertained. They should be written plainly and pinned to the bill. The Chief Clerk furnishes proper blanks upon which to make the reports to the House. Reports of Committees. A bill reported from a committee should be accompanied by a written report and whether "with amendments," or "without amendments." If reported favorably and concurred in by the House the bill goes on "gen- eral File." COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. The committee of the whole is an expedient to simplify the business of legislative bodies. No record is made of its proceedings, and it has no officer except of its own creation for temporary purposes. It is liable to instant dissolution in case of disorder when the speaker takes the chair to suppress it; in ease of lack of quorum when the speaker takes the chair for a call of the house or an adjournment, and in case of a message from the senate or governor when the speaker takes the chair to receive it. Either house may resolve itselfs into a committee of the whole on some particular bill, resolution, or subject; or it may go into committee of the whole upon the general file of bills. In the first case the motion is, "That the house do now resolve itself fnto a committee of the whole upon [bill No , a bill — ], or [joint resolution No , providing, etc,], or [upon all bills relating to , as the case may be." In the second case it is, "That the house do resolve itself into a committee of the whole upon the general file of bills." Bills, resolutions, and general matters which have been once con- sidered in committee of the whole, in which progress has been made and leave granted for further consideration, have the preference. The motion of the committee of the whole for their further consideration, must be made under the head of "bi^ls in which the committee of the whole made progress and obtained leave to sit again;" and in which case the member who presided when the same matter was previously con- sidered in committee of the whole, resumes the chair, unless the speaker name a different member. The motion of the committee of the whole upon the general file must be made under the order of "bills not yet considered in committee of the whole." When the house resolves itself into committee of the whole the speaker selects a chairman, as follows: "The gentleman from , Mr , will take the chair." The appointed chairman advances to the speaker's desk, and, having taken the chair, receives from the clerk the papers indicated by the motion for the committee, when the chairman announces: "Gentlemen:— The committee have under consideration bill No entitled— (reading the title from the back of the bill), or (in case of con- sideration of the general file) the committee have under consideration the general file of bills; the first in order is bill No ,entitled The clerk will read the first section. The section read, the chairman asks: "Are there any amendments proposed to the first section? If none, and uo objections heard the section will be considered approved." A CHAPTER ON LKGISLATIVB PRACTICE. 81 This process is continued through the whole bill, when at the close of the reading the chairman says: "The th section and the whole bill have now been read, andareopen to amendments." At this point, after the friends of the bill have perfected it, it is custom- ary for the opponents of the bill to open their attack. After the discussion of the bill to such an extent as may be desired, if no amendments are made, the final vote is generally upon a motion: "That the bill be reported back to the house without amendment." If any other bills are before the committee, they are proceeded with in the same manner. If it is desired to have a further consideration of any matter before the committee, or if the general file has not been gone through with, the mo- tion is, "That the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again." If the committee has completed its duties, the motion is, "That the committee rise and report." Which being analagous to a motion to adjourn, is not debatable. The chairman states the matter as follows: "It is moved that the committee do now rise and report" [or otherwise as the case may be.] Is the committee ready for the question ? "Gentlemen:— Those who are of the opinion that this committee do now arise and report [or as the case may 6e],say aye; those of the contrary opin ion, say no." In case of doubt, a division must be had, as the ayes and noes cannot be called in committee of the whole. When the committee rises, the speaker resumes his seat, and the chair- man, through the chief clerk, reports as follows: ''Mr. Speaker." "The committee of the whole have had under consideration bill No entitled , and have instructed me to report the same to the house with amendments," [or as the case may be]. When the general file has been under consideration, the report is as follows : "The committee of the whole have had under consideration the general file of bills, have gone through the same, and have directed me to report to the house the bills contained therein, with sundry amendments and recommendations, as follows, to-wit:" (Here follow the title of bills con sidered, with action taken upon them.)

A CHAPTER ON LEGISLATIVK PRACTICE. In case of confusion or disorder, the speaker of his own accord resumes the chair temporarily and without any formality, for the purpose of sup- pressing it. When order is restored, the chairman resumes tlie chair and the business proceeds. Upon the coming in of a report, the recommendations are at once acted on by the house. When, in committeeof the whole, any member desires to offer an amend- ment, it must be reduced in writing and sent to the clerk, who reads it, and asks— "Is the committee ready for the question upon the amendment?" And if no further amendment or debate, he puts the question in the usual manner. After a section is once passed, with an unsuccessful effort to amend it, no further amendments are in order. The strictness of this rule, is, how- ever, not always adhered to— fin amendment once made, may, however, be reconsidered. Such a motion is — "That the amendment offered by the gentleman from to the th section be reconsidered;" And it is stated as follows: "The gentleman from moves that the amendment offered by the gentleman from to the th second be reconsidered." "Is the committee ready for the question?" "Those who are of the opinion that said amendment be reconsidered, say aye; those of a contrary opinion, say no." In case the amendment is reconsidered, the chairman says: "The motion is carried. The amendment is reconsidered. The ques- tion now recurs upon the adoption of the amendment. Is the committee ready for the question?" etc. Passage of Billg. When the order of business entitled "Bills on third reading" is reached, at the conclusion of the reading of each bill, the speaker says: "This bill has been read at large on three seperate days, and printed with all the amendments thereto. Agreeably to the constitution the yeas and nays will be taken on the final passage of the bill." Upon the passage of a bill the presiding oflicer reads its title and says: "The bill is passed; the question is as to the title. Is the title agreed to?" The title is generally agreed to, though it may be changed if the house so order. Forms. The following forms are used when bills have become laws, as pro- vided by the constitution other than by approval of the executive. When a bill has not been returned by the executive within five days (Sundays excepted) after it has been presented to him for approval, the following certificate is attached, signed, and sent with the bill to the sec- retary of state. "We hereby certify that the bill (here insert title) was presented to the governor on the day of a.d — , and the same not having been returned by him within five days (Sundays excepted) after such presentation, it has become a law agreeably to the constitution of this stat^. a chapter on legislative practice. 88 "Attest:.

It is far better than the old in all respects; is is better arranged to find what you want ; it also contains a great deal more valuable information Chas. S. Bobinson. Your Legislative Manual has been ably edited and admirably arranged. John A. Davis. It Is the best compiled work of its kind I ever saw. L. H. SUTER. It Ih just THE thing.
