Centrals Welby Congress Met Here To End American Revolution - When In December, I960, the Secretary of the Interior named the State House of Maryland, a Registered National Historic Landmark, he filled an historic hiatus that had lasted 176 years. For the Maryland State House Is the place where, so long ago, an event of unsurpassed national Importance occurred. It Is the place where the American Revolution ended.. The date was January 14, 1784. At that time, the State House was the United States Capitol, Insofar as the United States had one. The Continental Congress was meeting In Annapolis, and the Maryland State Government had turned the building over to the national body. The Congressional session had begun on the 26th of the preceding November. It lasted until the 13th of the next August. The Maryland State House, therefore, had the Capltolshlp for nearly nine months. The building itself was largely responsible for Congress presence in Annapolis. The previous meeting place had been Princeton, New Jersey, but Pronce tons accommodations were so painfully Inadequate that the session had ended In a chorus of discontent. The members emphatically declared that Congress should move to a location that would accord with a national legislatures rightful prestige. Maryland offered its State House, which was such a building. NEW IN 1779 Ave. and Janis Whitney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.

November 24 Is the Temple marriage date. It was new. It had been begun In 1772 but, because of war conditions, had not been completed until 1779. It was, as the contemporary description says, "commodious, having at least six fairly spacious rooms on Its main floor, and a broad columned center corridor. As for dignity, the State House stood on the towns highest point, had a soaring dome and was surrounded by a circle of Its own grounds. The Old Senate Chamber, And, finally, the building was beautiful. where the sessions would naturally be held, had carvings by the great William Buckland himself. According to one of the Congressmen, Williamson of North Hugh Carolina, this room. was "perhaps the Prowl), Linda Williams, Back: Susan Park, Connie Atkinson Parish Fall Bazaar prettiest In America. There, In that "pretty place, the American Revolution ended. It was a drama In two acts. The fist occurred at noon on December 23, when George Washington appeared before the Congress and resigned his commission -entered, while the clocks were striking twelve, as General Washingleft an hour later as plain George Washington, Esquire -ton, and his career as soldier over. This was the personal, human side of the wars cessation, an occasion of solemn but unrestrained emotion. ADDRESS DRAWS TEARS There was no one present, said James McHenry, a member from Maryland, who did not "drop tears. Washington himself was moved. Control of his voice failed him and his hand, holding the manuscript of his address, shook. He had been the very personification of the war and now he was leaving the stage. The responsibilities of peace lay before the statesmen, but as yet dimly, what they saw, that day in the Old Senate Chamber, was the finality of their struggle, the loosening of the tie that had held them all together for so many years in a cause for life or death. And, though they had the victory, they felt the wrench of the ending. Washington had been the Revolution. Washington was going. They wept In sheer emotional release. FUTURE PRESIDENTS MEET Thomas Jefferson was there, author of the Declaration of Independence. So was Richard Lee, a Signer, who had offered the resolution that the Declaration be adopted. So was Samuel Chase, a Signer and future Justice of the future United States Supreme Court. So was James Momroe, a Signer, and future President. So were Paca, Stone, Carroll, Gerry - - all Signers. So was Gates of Saratoga. None All of them veterans of the times of them men of small control. that tried mens souls. They had not wept while the war went on -only at the ending of their great work, symbolized for them In George Washingtons voluntary retirement. Three weeks later, the second act of the Revolutions finale was played out - also In the Old Senate Chamber. This one was colorless and quick. It was the ratification of the definitive treaty of peace with England. The document was read, the vote taken, and that was all. Editorial Dear Readers: Five months have passes since the state of Utah observed Law Day and L aw Observance Week.
