of the declaration was put before the
committee of five just as Jefferson
had prepared 1t.
The desk upon which the declara-
tion was drafted is in the library of
the state department at Washington.
1t was exhibited at Buffalo in the Pan
American exposition in 1901.
The final debate in congress. in the
committee of the whole, upon the
adoption of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence began at nine O'Clock on
Monday, July 1. On that day Pennsyl
vania, seven of whose delegates were
present. voted against adoption. The
vote of Delaware, having two dele
gates present, was divided.
Thereupon Mexican of Delaware,
who had voted afiirmatively, wrote a
frantic letter to the absent Delaware
delegate. Caesar Rodney. imploring
him to come and cast his vote, and
thus turn the scale for Delaware. for
IT was highly probable that If Della
ware supported the declaration Penn
sylvania would follow suit.
Rodney at the time was so miles
away, at Dover. at one or the other Of
his farms, Byneld and Poplar Grove.
He suffered tortures from the cancer,
which, starting on his nose, had spread
all over one side of his face. so that
he had to wear a green silk shield to
hide the Disagreement; 1t was of this
chronic affiiction that he died. A con-
temporary chronicle describes him as
ian animated skeleton-indeed. all
spirit, without corporeal integument."

phia late in the afternoon of July l. 1t

cancer, slowly eating away his counte-

the risk he ran, a solitary horseman'
of being waylaid and robbed or muir

fact that his vote would turn the day
for Delaware; Delaware, though a lit
tie state, might influence Pennsylva-
MIA, and so the vote of the colonies
would be unanimous for declaration
that would immortalize the men who
made and signed it, and enfranchise
the people of the 13 colonies and their
descendants.
Next day, Thursday, July 4. as the
members were assembling at the state
house door, rider, booted and spurred
and covered with the dust of night
and-day travel, dismounted in their
midst, and when, little later. Caesar
Rodney rose in his place. still breath

of Delaware was cast in favor of the
declaration, Pennsylvania. by three of
her five delegates present, supported
Delaware's action. and thus by the ride
of Rodney the unanimous vote of the
colonies with the solitary and tenn
porary exception of New York; was
that day secured for the Magma Charta
of our American liberties.
