Dickinson, of Pennsylvania, a true patriot, but a mosttimorous and conservative gentleman, who had opposed Independence fromthe beginning, delivered a long and eloquent speech against the measure. The author of the Declaration used to relate after dinner to his guestsat Monticello, that the conclusion of the business was hastened by aridiculous cause. Near the hall was a livery stable, from which swarmsof flies came in at the open windows, and attacked the trouserless legsof members, who wore t...he silk stockings of the period. Lashing the flieswith their handkerchiefs, they became at length unable to bear a longerdelay, and the decisive vote was taken. On the Monday following, in thepresence of a great crowd of people assembled in Independence Square, itwas read by Captain Ezekiel Hopkins, the first commodore of the AmericanNavy, then just home from a cruise, during which he had captured eightycannon, a large quantity of ammunition, and stores, and two Britishvessels. He was selected to read the Declaration from the remarkablepower of his voice.
