An historical account of the old State house of Pennsylvania now known as the Hall of independence. those Petitions in the Liturgy where the King of Great Britain isprayed for, as inconsistent with the said declaration, therefon; Resolved, that it ap-])tars to this vestry to Ite necessary for the peace and well Ijein^r of the Churches toomit the said Petitions; and the Rectors and Assistant Ministers of the unitedchurches are requested in the name of the vestry and their constituents to omit suchpetitions as are above mentioned. ^ AVe should not fail to recall, however, the remarkable coincidence that occurredon tliis day. The only two surviving signers of the Declaration who voted upon itsadoption, — Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, — lived just long enough to cele-brate it, and died July 4, 1826, within a few hours of each other. 2 The personal statement made, while these pages are going through the press,by the venerable Titiun R. Peale, shows conclusively that Liberty Bell was crackedin tolling, July 8, 1835, for the death of John Marshall, Chief Justice of the The Liberty Bell. r i^X<J ?^
