free institutions, which have so blessed our
country and benefited The world, may be
learned from this brief synopsis of his views
and acts. Let them speak for themselves,
and le. him be judged by his works.
He was 80 years old and a member Of
the Legislsiure, when in l774 The news of
the Boston Port Bill reached Virginia. In
the evening, he and a few kindred spirits
met in the Council chamber to consult on
the proper course TO be taken. Then and
there it was agreed 10 recommend day Of
fasting and prayer Throughout the colony,
The Legislature approved Of the proposal,
and he prepared the proclamation. The
day was the first Of June;--then the Port
Bill took effect. Soon after, he wrote the
deputies to NEE. in Congress. The first
Congress met in Philadelphia, Sept. 5lh
l774. During l775, he was member Of
Congress, acting on the maxim. the God
who gave US life, gave US liberty ,oo."--
JuHe 2s.h l776. the youngest member Of
Congress, he as chairman reported the
Declaration of Independence, which had
been written by him at the unanimous re-
quest CT the committee. The Declaration
was adopted, July the 4h;--lhe debate was
warm, and while going on, Doctor Franklin
told Mr.Jefferson the famous story Of John
Thompson, the ha,,er.' July 4, '76 he
was appointed on a committee 10 devise .

gone forth. and Washington being at the
head Of The army, and fighting the battle

from Congress. Sill he was re.elecled;bu'
on the I'd of September he resigned On
she last day of September. Congress appoin-
ted him one of the comm missioners 10 neg0

.Le appointment. He thought that the great
moral revolution jus. hegun, would be more
aided by HIM in the legislature Of Virginia.
than in any other station. He was elected
and took his sea, in the legislature in oc,o.
ber. He wished 10 have his state walk in
the righ. path in passing from her monarch
ial TO her republican condition; and he
though, il all important to the great cause
of liberty, 10 have state government which
should be pattern for all the states which
would compose this great coniederacy.--
While member of The Legislature from '76

complshment Of the following objects: Ito
reform the Judiciary system; 10 repeal the
law of Entails (which destroyed aris'ocracy

thus prepare the way for an equal division
