1E DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

ration of the colonies from Great Brit
ain, and the I'd of July is really inde-
pendence day. 1t was this day. John
Adams wrote his wife on July 8, that
future generations would celebrate.
"The I'd day OF July. 1776, will be the
most memorable epoca in the history OF
America" he wrote. 81 am apt to be-
lieve that Ii will be celebrated by sue
cecding generations as the great anni-
veasary festival. 1t ought to be COM
nemorated as the day OF deliverance by
solemn acts of devotion to God Al
mighty. 1t ought to be solemnized with
pomp and parade. with shows, games,
sports, guns. bells. bonfires and illu-
limitations from one end of this conti-
nent to the other from this time for
ward for evermore.p
But 1t was on July that the docu-
ment which makes the formal express
sion of independence was adopted. That
formal declaration came before the
house Immediately after the adoption
OF Lees resolution. and was taken up,
clause by clause, Tor debate. The mem-
bers after their two days struggle
were potS-in any mood to deal easily
with Mr.. Jefrerson's production. On
the contrary, they set themselves Wig
orously to pull it to pieces.
With two exceptions the changes they
made were verbal, and to the great i'm
provement OF the document. The two
really important points which congress
refused TO allow to 30 into Mr. Jefer-
sons paper were, first. a paragraph in
which lie arraigned with terrible sever
<ity the slave traffic. and. second. a
charge that the English people had
been equally guilty toward America
with the king and parliament.
The free criticism of the declaration
indulecd In during the debate annoyed
Mr.. Jefferson exceedingly He made it
a point of courtesy to reply to none OF
IL. but it was easy to see that he took
il badly.

so well did Jefferson do his work
that when he submitted it to Adams
and Franklin. before handing 1t over
to the committee. tney made only a
few corrections. JEFFERSON then wrote
out what he calls a fair copy and
turned 1t over to the committee of five.
They found 1t so good that they
changed not word of 1t, and on June
2s the document was laid before con-
zress.
while Jefferson in his little room at
the corner of Market and Seventh
streets was laboring over the deciara-
ton, the country from one side to the
other was busy discussing the subject
In the states where the sentiment for
indcpe ndence was strong-that is- IN
New England and the south--the exul-
tation was great and the colonial con-
sresses, sons of liberty. committees and
town meetings worked with renewed
energy, the excitement penetrating to
the most remote settlements. Heavy
pressure was brought on the colonies
which up to this time had been against
separation. by the discussions in news
papers and pamphlets and by the de-
bates In assemblies, conventions, COM
mittees OF safety and of inspection and
In town and county meetings. The
whole people soon became familiar
with the question and their Councils
began to feel the effect of the popular
agitation. Not only were the councils
at home besieged by tho advocates OF
Independence; letters, resolutions and
petitions were showered on the dele
gates in congress. The delegates OF
Pennsylvauia had been strictly ordered
to reject any proposition for independ
enee, but the radical party OF the COL
ony had before this taken matters into
it's own hands and by an interesting
resolution they succeeded in overpow-
