Excerpt from Observations on the Declaration of Independence: With a Critical Examination of the Facts Attending Its Attestation
Here false colors are certainly hung out; there is culpability somewhere: what I have heard as an explanation is as follows: When the declaration was voted, it was ordered to be engrossed on parchment and then signed, and that a few days afterwards a resolution was entered on the secret journal that no person should have a seat in congress during that year until he should have signed the declaration of independence After the 4th July I was not in Congress for several months, having marched with a regiment of associators as colonel, to support general Washington, until the flying camp often thousand men was com pleted. When the associators were. Discharged, I returned to Philadelphia, took my seat in Congress and signed my name to the Declaration on parchment. This transaction should be truly stated, and the then secret journal should be made public. In the manuscript journal, Mr. Pickering, then secretary of state, and myself saw a printed half sheet of paper,2 with the names of the members afterward in the printed journals stitched in. We ex amined the parchment where my name is signed in my own hand writing.
