the Articles of Confederation and the
CONSTITUTIONAL of which he was in
str'imental in preparing.
The committee elected Jefferson
chairman and instructed him to make
draft of declaration. The COM
mlttee submitted it's first draft June %.
July the congress adopted the res
olutlon presented by Lee and resolved
10 take further consideration on the
| morrow. On the third the committee
had not finished its labors, but on July
it presented completed draft to the
body, and after long debate, which
continued until the night, the con-
gress adopted the Declaration of In
dependence. After the committee of
the whole had debated the paper for
hours Benjamin Harrison reported to
congress that the Declaration of indie
pendence had been agreed to by the
committee of the whole. The paper
was again read and ordered printed.
The Declaration was committed to
the printer, Dunlap, Immediately. and
the broadside was ready on the fol-
lowing day. July 5, when it received
the signatures Of John Hancock and
of Charles Thomson, president and
secretary Of congress, respectively, au-
thenticating the copy to be forwarded
to the governments of the thirteen
states. The signatures were followed
by the words: 'By Order and in Be-
half of the Congress-"
,f -
to the various states and to the COM
handing officers of the continental
troops. 1t is not certain that each of
these bore the signatures of the pres
ident and the secretary.
On July 10 it was ordered that the
Declaration passed on the fourth,
should be fairly engrossed on parch-
ment with the title and style of The
Unanimous Declaration Of the Thir-
teen Unitel States of America and
that the same, when engrossed, be
signed by every member of congress-"
On August the journal records
that "The Declaration of Independ-
ence, being engrossed, and compared
at the table, was signed by the men,
bers."
AS to the signatures to the Decla-
ration, volume might be written.
The common understanding is that the
fifty-five men whose names are ap-
pended were present in congress on
July 4, ITO. and asserting to the
Declaration. This understanding is
far from the truth.
Signatures appear on the document
of men who were not members of the
congress at the time the Declaration
was agreed on. 1t has been suggested
that the proper Interpretation of the
orders of congress to have the docu.
ment signed by every member, was in
tended to include those who became
members about this time.
But Henry Wisner Of New York.
who voted for independence, did not
sign. and Robert Morris, who did not
cast his vote for the Declaration, did.
Wisner was absent in New York on
August 2 to attend the provincial con-
gress, to which he had been elected,
and evidently never had an opportu-
nifty to affix his signature to the doc
ument.
There was reason for the delay in
appending the signatures apart from
the time necessary to have the docu-
ment engrossed. It was intended to
have the Declaration 60 out to the
world as the unanimous declaration of
all the colonies. and on July Fourth,

| his is about the way the average
schoolboy-not to say some older
| amerlcans-thinks the Declaration of
independence came into existence, the
| independence of the United States of
america was secured and the Fourth
or July became a national holiday.
While some of the details concern
ing the Declaration of Independence
VIII always be matter of argument
among historians, the sequence of
events is clear and runs like this:
Fighting between the Americans and
the British began April 10, 1875, at
Lexington. Even after the fighting
was on it was some time before the
movement for independence gained
much Roadway I'm the public mind.
February IS, 1776, committee ap-
pointed to prepare an address to the
country presented Its report to con-
gress. This report reads in part:
we have been accused of carrying
on the war for the purpose of estab-
fishing an empire. We disavow the in.
tentiOn. We declare that what we
aimed at and what we are entrusted
by you to pursue is the defense and
re-establishment of the constitutional
rights of the colonies"
1t was not until June Z, 1776 that
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia intro
duced a resolution which was to be-
come only less familiar than the Dec
laration itself. This resolution con-
tains the famous sentence: THAT
these United States are and of right
ought to be free and independent
states; that they are absolved from
oil allegiance to the British crown,
and that all political connection be-
tween them and the state of Great
Britain is and ought to be dissolved"
This resolution was debated many
times by congress. The chief speak
ers for separation were John Adams,
his cousin, Samuel Adams; ROGER
Sherman, Oliver Olcott, Richard Henry
Lee and George Wythe. John Dick
tnson of Pennsylvania led the opposi-
tion for delay. prominent among his
followers being John Jay, James Will
son, James Duane, Edward Rutledge
and Robert r. Livingston, but it was
evident from the beginning that they
were in the minority.
To save time committee was an
pointed on June IL to frame the Dec
laration of Independence. Strange to
say, Richard Henry Lee, who was the
sather of the resolution, and by par
liamentary right should have had the
craftsmanship Of the committee. was
left out Of it. The reasons for this
omission have been variously ex.
blamed. 1t is a fact that he was alb

1716, the delegates from New York
felt some diffidence in voting, as they
had no instructions. Wisner, however,
did cast vote in favor of independ-
enee, and before August 2 New York
had instructed her delegation to agree
to the Declaration.
There was hearty response when
1t became known that signatures were
to be appended to the document. Sam
uel Chase of Maryland was absent
from congress on July and the next
day he wrote from Annapolis to John
Adams, How shall 1 transmit to pos
terity that l gave my assent?" On
the ninth Adams replied, "As soon as
an American seal is prepared l con-
lecture the Declaration will be SUBJ
scribed to by all the members, which
will give you the opportunity you wish
for Of transmitting your name among
the votaries Of independence"
Elbridge Gerry of New York had to
leave Philadelphia two weeks after
the Declaration had been adopted, and
he wrote to John and to Samuel Ad-
ans, "Pray subscribe for me We Dec
laration of Independence if We same is
to be signed as proposed. think we
ought to have We privilege when neces-
sarily absent Of voting and signing by
proxy"

until July IL; Rush, Clymer, Smith,
Taylor and Ross of Pennsylvania were
not elected until July 20. Charles Car
roll Of Carrollton, as we'll as Chase,
was attending meeting of the Mary
land convention on JULY. George
Wythe of Virginia on the same day
was chairman of the committee Of the
whole of the Virginia convention. and
Richard Henry Lee was in the conven-
ton. having been compelled to return
from Philadelphia on account Of sick
ness in his family, having left on June
10. William Hooper Of North Caro-
lima was absent from Philadelphia at
least as late as July s. Yet all of these
members signed the Declaration, al
though some Of them, 1t has been
shown, We're not even members at that
time, and four members were absent.
Thomas Mclean Of Delaware was
the last to sign and did not do so until
five years after the adoption Of the
Declaration and at a time when the
war virtually was Mt an end. 1t was
through no fault of Mclean. His name
was omitted from the printed copy in
the journal.
The popular, traditional idea Of the
signing Of the Declaration of indie
pendence presents it as graceful and
formal function taking place July 4,
1776, in large, handsomely furnished
chamber In Independence hall, Phila-
delphia. To give the necessary touch
Of vivacity to the picture there is the
scene of the small boy darting from
the door as the last signer sets his
autograph to the parchment and DASH
ing down the street. calling to his
grandfather to "Ring! Oh. ring for
liberty"
AS matter Of fact the Declaration
Of Independence was signed behind
locked doors. The city was not breath.

did the Liberty Bell peal forth on that
day the triumphal note Of freedom.
