Source: George Henry Evans, “The Working Men’s Declaration of Independence” (December 1829) “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all the 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” against the undue influence of other classes of society, prudence, as well as the claims of self defense, dictates the necessity of the organization of a party, who shall, by their representatives, prevent dangerous combinations to subvert these indefeasible and fundamental privileges. ”All experience hath shown, that mankind” in general, and __we as class in particular__, “are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves,” by an opposition witch the pride and self interest of unprincipled zeal or religious bigotry, will willfully misrepresent. “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations” take place, all invariably tending to the oppression and degradation of one class of society, and to the unnatural and iniquitous exaltation of another by political leaders, “it is their right, it is their duty,” to use every constitutional means to __reform__ the abuses of such a government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
