political relations with the moth
er country, and in the various
plans which were proposed to
remedy evils, Mr.. Dickinson struck
the true keynote of the Ameri-
can cause"
He continued by saying that the
letters proved the author was a
firm believer in the traditions of
English liberty and that English
law rightly interpreted was the
basis of the free political condi-
ton to that date devised. Then he
took up one by one the various
grievances of the conolists and
endeavored to show how in each
case these stemmed from viola
tons of the English law.
There was no emotional OUT
burst based on vague rights"
Mr.. Christie continued, "or those
of fancied injustices. Rather with
a knack possessed by a few great
legal minds he reduced the COM
plex political and legal problems
of his day to simple terms under
Smyrna times., 1955-01-06

mington, tenanted by Edgar Nc
Quay, was the first on fire and
was quickly consumed. How the
fire occurred cannot be determin-
ed. The whole house with con-
tents was reduced to ashes, the
loss being estimated at $4,000,
From there the flames leaped- to
the cottage of Harry Haggerty of
Little Greek. The damage to this
property, which was almost COM
plete, is also put at $4,000.

DELAWARE DAY
VALLEY FORGE
Several Hundred Delawareans
Made Pilgrimage There
on Sunday
LETTERS OF A FARMER"

John Dickinson, famous as THE
Penman of the Revolutionary
War" also was the first national
hero of the American colonies,
Andrew D. Christie, director OF
the Delaware Legislative Refer
ence Bureau, said Sunday in an
address in Valley Forge Memorial
Chapel.
1t was Delaware Day in Valley
Forge and several hundred Della
wareans including members of the
Sons and Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution made their an
nual pilgrimage to this famous
shrine where Washington and his
troops spent their severest winter.
Mr.. Christie, a Wilmington at
torney, also pointed out that
Dickinson, through his fourteen
Letters of a Farmer" aroused
public opinion to the point where
open rebellion against the worlds
greatest military power was pos
sible, "even in the face of the
dreadful hardships involved"
However, the speaker pointed
out, John Dickinson was an early
advocate of what today would be
termed peaceful co-existence,' y
for he believed there was reme-
dy in several forms of reconcile
alton and that British as well as
American interests would be best
served by peaceful settlement of
their differences.
Mr.. Christie went on to say
that controversy over taxation of
the American colonies by British
Parliament had already been rag
ing for several years before the
Farmer" letters appeared. Most
Americans, he declared, Resented
and bitterly opposed the various
taxes but logical and unemotion-
al arguments against them had
not appeared.
'These letters supplied the raj.
lying point which drew the col.
onists together. The fourteen
Farmer letters which appeared ir
quick succession swept through
the colonies. They were a com
prehensive survey of the colonies
