. Whether the effect of the motion resem- bled the shock of electricity, of mesmerism, or of gal- vanism the most exactly, I leave you philosophers to determine, but the grimaces, the agitations and con- vulsions were very great." Vehement debates ensued, of his own share in which Mr. Adams says : " I was remarkably cool and, for me, unusually eloquent. On no occasion, before or after, did I ever make a greater impression on Congress." " Attention and approbation were marked on every counte- na...nce." Many gentlemen came to pay him their compliments, and even Dickinson praised him.
Nevertheless his oratory failed to secure the practical reward of success ; the step was too far in advance of the present position of a majority INDEPENDENCE 111 of members. There were " many motions " and much " tedious discussion," but " after all our argumentation the whole terminated in a com- mittee of secret correspondence." So Mr.
Adams was again relegated to the odious duty of waiting patiently. But he and his abettors had insured ultimate success ; indeed, it was only a question how far the colonies would soon go in this direction.
