In the year 1926, says a writer in the
Washington Union, alter all save unc of
the band OF patriots whose signatures IRE
| borne on the Declaration of Independence
had descended to the tomb, aud the vcncI-
able Carroll alone remained among the liv-
ing, the government of the city Of New
ork deputed a committee to wait on the
illustrious survivor, and obtain from him,
for deposit in the public hall Of the city,
copy of the Declaration of l776, graced
and authenticated anew with his sign man
ual The aged patriot yielded to the re-
quest, aud affixed with his own hand to
copy of the instrument the grateful, sol.
emn, and pious supplemental declaration
which follows:
Grateful to Almighty God for the bles-
sings which, through Jesus Christ our
Lord, he has conferred upon my beloved
country in her emancipation, and OF per
mittin" me, under circumstances Of u.aroy,
to live to the age of eighty nine years, and
to survive the tiftieth year Of American IL
dependence, adopted by Congress on The
4th Of July, l776, which | originally sub,
scribed on the I'd day of August Of the
same year, and of which am now the last
surviving signer, | do hereby recommend
to the present and future generations the
principles of that important document as
the best inheritance their ancestors could
bcqucath to them, and pray that the civil
and religious liberties they have secured
to my country may be perpetuated to re-
motest posterity, and extended to the whole
family Of men.
