 That there was weight in these considera- hons was shown only too plainly by subse- puent events. But the argument as a whole was open to the fatal objection that if the American people were to wait for these Ques- tons to be settled beford taking a decisive step, they would never be able to take deci- sve step at all. Independent action on the part of all the colonies except New York had now become an accomplished fact All were really m rebellion, and their cause could not fail to gain Tn dignity and strength by amounc- ing itself to the world in its true character Such was now the general feeling of the com mlttee. When the question was put to vote the New York delegates were excused as they had not sufficient instructions Of the three delegates from Delaware one was absent, one voted yea, and one nay, so that the vote of the colony was lost Pennsylvania declared in the negative by four votes against three. South Carolina also declared in the negative but with the intmation from Edward Rutedge that it might not unlikely reverse its vote, in defer. encc to the majority. The other nine colonies all voted in the affirmative, and the resolution was reported as agreed to by two-thirds vote On the next day, when the vote was formally taken m regular session of congress, the Della ware members were all present, and the affirm atlve vote of that colony was secured; Dicbin- son and Morris stayed away, thus reversing the vote of Pennsylvania; and the South Carolina members changed for the sake of unanimitv.
 Thus was the Declaration of Independence at last resolved upon, by the unanimous vote of twelve colonies, on the 2nd of July, 177G; and this work having been done congress at oncc went into committee of the whole. to con SIdcr the form of dcIcaration which should be adopted. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams. Ben jamm Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were the members of committee to draw up the dccIqration, and Jefferson, as representing the colony which had introduced the resolution of independence, was chasu n a~ the author of the declaration.
 On the evening of the tth of July, 177G. the Declaration of Independence was mfmimouslv adopted by twelve colonies fine dclceation from New York still remaining unable to act. But the asquicsccncc of that colony was so generally counted upon that there was no drawback to the cXultation of the people All over the country the declaration was received with bon fires, with the ringing of bells and the firing of guns, and with torch-Iight proccssions.

What they were trying to do was to
catch him of his guard and do him
up-this time to stay done up.
1t was safe to assume that they
wouldn't tumble the ball a second

fairly on It's feet when he said that
our campaign was purely one-man

People who had met the boss and had
done business with him liked him

After Mr.. Norcross had bought some
cigars at the stand he said he guessed
he'd run out to Major Hendricks for
a little while; and with that he went
up to his rooms. Though the major
