The next step waa a joint Declaration of Independence, upon a motion mhdeln congreBB by Richard' Henry Lee, In eager obedience to the express bidding of a convention met In tbe hall of the Burgesses at Williamsburg, to frame a constitution for Virginia Many Still Unconvinced. Ills motion was adopted by. tbe votes of every colony except New York. It was a bitter thing to many a loyal man in tbe colonies to see such things done, and peace rendered impossible. Not even those who counted themselves among the warmest friends of the colonial cause were agreed that It was wise thus to throw off one government before another was put in its place while there was as yet no better guidance in that districted time than might be had from a body of gentlemen in Philadelphia who pos- quick and aflame with almost uncontrollable anger to see what cowards sessed no power .hut. to advise... his men could be; again heartened to sadIn were But the radicals tbe see them stand and hold their ground dle. like men, even In the open.
