By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN. HERE Is of course but one Declaration of independence — the Declaration of Independence we celebrate on the Fourth of July. It nuikes no difference that Richard Henry l-oe’s resolution “That these united colonies ure and of right be. free and Independent Introduced In congress June 7, 1770; that It was adopted July J. and that the document itself not made public until July 5, and not signed by the members of congress until August J. It was or. July 4. 1770. that the vote on the Declaration Itself was taken, and the document ordered “iiuthentlcnted anil printed." So the Fourth of July It Is —and ever shall be. Nevertheless, there ure other Declarations. and some of them come pretty near being Declnnulons of Independence, except that they were not adopted by congress. The truth 1* that indeiiendencc was In the air for M*im- time before July 4. 1776. The leaders preferred to say that they were ■■petitioners lu arms." even after Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill, and ninny of them doubtless had no determination for Independence. But the people in many localities were ripe for Independence. So It Is not to be j wondered that some of them made declarations. One of the earliest of these Declarations was that of the people of Mendon. Mass., March 1. 1773. It speaks for itself, and here It Is: "That nil men have naturally an equal right to life, liberty and prop-

erty.

"Thut all Just and lawful government must originate In the free consent of the people. "Thnt the go-al. happiness and safety of the people is the great end of civil government. "That a principle of self preserva- J tton. being duly plante i by the God of Nature In every human breast. It is necessary, not only to the well-being if the individual, hut also to the order of the tflllverse. as attraction and cohesion are to the preservation of material bodies and the order of the natural world. "That a voluntary renunciation of any power or privileges Included lu or necessarily connected with a principle of self preservation Is mi.nlf.-stly ’■-ting counter to the will of the great Author of Nature, the Supreme Lcgialut".-. that a right to liberty and property U absolutely Inalienable. "That the claim of the parliament of tin-at Britain to the power of legislation for the i-oUmies in nil caws whatsnever l« abhorrent to the spirit and: genius of the British Constitution, to the letter of our charter and to the t"o-<t -'h* ious principles of reason and t'* the essential natural rights given, us by God Almighty ; and. finally. “That the Introduction of standing | armies In a tree country In time of peace, without the consent of the people.
