committee of safety of which Edmund Pendleton was president ' Carolina Declares Independence had hardly begun his Washington work of organization and defence at New York before North Carolina (April 12 1776) authorized her delegates in the congress at Philadelphia to Join In a declaration of independence and the next month (May 15) the congress advised the colonies to give over all show and pretence of waiting for or desiring peace or accommodation to form complete and independent governments of their owd and so put an end to “the exercise of every kind of authority under the taken Still mindful of Hunker Hill he to would not storm the Intrenchments which himself had Washington brought reinforcements which swelled his strength upon the heights to ten thousand He determined instead to draw lines of siege about them and at his leisure take army position storea and all Washington Decides to Retreat Washington seeing at once what Howe intended and how possible it waa decided to withdraw Immediately before a fleet should be In the river and his retreat cut off It was a masterly piece of work The British commander was as much astonished to see Brooklyn Heights empty on the morning of August 30 as he had been to see Dorchester Heights occupied that memorable morning six months before had taken ten thousand Washington men across that broad river with all their stores and arms In a single night while a small guard kept up a and sharp fire from the breastworks no sound of the retreat reached the dull ears of the British sentries Demoralised Washington’s Army But the sharp fighting and bitter defeat of the 27th had sadly even shamefully demoralized Washington's raw troops and he knew he must withdraw from New York All through September and a part of October he held what be could of the Island fighting for it almost mile by mile as he withdraw — now cut to the crown” The next step was a Joint Declaration of Independence upon a motion made in congress by Richard Henry Lee in eager obedience to the express bidding of a convention met in the hall of the Burgesses at Williamsburg to frame a constitution for Virginia Many Still Unconvinced His motion was adopted by the votes of every colony except New York It was a bitter thing to many a loyal man in the colonies to see such things done and peace rendered ImNot even those who counted possible themselves among the warmest friends of the colonial cause were agreed that it was wise thus to throw off one before apother waa put in Jts place— ’while there was as yet no better guidance In that districted time than might be had from a body of in Philadelphia who posgentlemen sessed no power but to advise But the radicals were in the saddle for No Compromise Washington Washington himself came down from New York to urge that the step be taken He deemed such radicalism wise for he wished to see compromise abandoned and all minds set as sternly as his own in the resolve to fight the fight out to the bitter end “I have never entertained an idea of an accommodation” he said “since heard of the measures which were adopted in consequence of the Bunker’s Hill fight” and his will hardened to the contest after the fashion that had always been characteristic of him when once the heat of action waa upon him Tories Make Difficulties He grew stern and spoke somein times with a touch of harshness the presence of his difficulties at New York because he knew that they were made tor him in no small part who were in the Britby Americana ish interest and whom he scorned even while scrupulous to be just In what he did to thwart and master them “It requires more serenity of temand more per a deeper understanding courage than fell to the lot of Marlborough to ride in this whirlwind” 6aid John Adams and the young had them all But his quiet was often that of a metal at white heat and he kindled a great fire with what be touched No strength of will however could suffice to hold New York and Its open harbor against a powerful enemy with such troops as Washington could drill and make between April and July On the 28th of June British transports began to gather in the lower Within a few
