TltK KKYHTOKK ST A TP!."
Wi had intended noma time ago to again pay our re
specu to the author of the "Rook Creek Bridge Story,"
published in the Athens Olellnrr, concerning the
origin of Pennsylvania's title to the name of "Key
stone State;" lut the conviction that very few per
sons would attach any importance to the story led
ui to postpone our reply to a convenient season.
His aeren columns of labored argument, so far from
proving- Pennsylvania received the title of tjie
'Keystone State" from the symbolical letters
on the keystone of the thirteen blocks com
prising the arch of the bridge over Rock creek, In
the District of Columbia, shows that slie already had
that title, and that the individual who constructed
the bridge saw in the exact number of blocks com
prising the arch a fitting opportunity to symbol
7,c the idea. Jits argument to prove that i
Pennsylvania was not recognized as the "Key
atone" in our national symbols has no bearing
whatever on the question, for the reason that these
symbols were designed to represent union und
equality, and any reference to the superior condi
tion of any State would havo been Inappropriate,
Another mistake of the writer is in supposing the
Dame "Keystone" to be a Federal symbol, such is
not the cane. Pcnnsylvaala claims for herself the
title of "Keystone' precisely aa Massachusetts
claims to be called the "Bay State, "or New llurr p
shlre the "Granite State," because of some distinc
tive pecnliarit bclongingto themsoheR exclushcly.
Long before our Revolutionary era the arch and
Its Vcystoue were symbols of union and strength.
Henoe the ulea fastened Itself upon the niluds of
Pennsylvania riB that our State occupied the position
of the keystone to the Union. There are many lnd
dents in our history well calculated to de elope this
f&ea. At the time of the adoption of the Declaration
of Independence Pennsylvania was the dividing
State between North and South, there being six on
cuch Bide of her.
in the Congress of Independence the representa
tives of the Colonies Bat in a semicircle around the
Speaker's chair, Pennsylvania occupying the centre
of the arch; she was also the last, or thirtrtuth
State to vote, and thus resembled the keystone of
an aroh, which is always inserted last, and without
which the arch could not stand. These well-known
fact undoubtedly presented themselves to the
minds of many, and the title of "Kejstone'
graduatly worked Its way among the
people until it finally became an
acknowledged title by every one. The builder ol
the Rock Creek Bridge no doubt heard this oft
repeated expression, and very appropriately sym
bolized it upon the bridge he was building. The
fitness of the expression has been recognized by
thousands or public speakers in all parts of the
State for over half a century, not one of whom
probably ever heard of Rock Creek Bridge, with
Its historical claim of less than twenty years
Htanding. Aside from the historical facts we have
given in regard to the geographical position of the
State and the position of its representatives in the
Revolutionary Congress, we have traditional testi
mony which helped to create a spout uneous sentiment
In the minds of Iter people that she was In a still higher
sense the keyhtone of the arch, lu the old Eplsco
p,i; church-yard in Chester, Pennsylvania, lie the
tin a.DS of Judge Morton, and upon his tomb Is the
foi'.owiig inscription:
':e.lxated to the memory of John Morton, a
member oi t-ho first American Congress from the
suae (if Pennsylvania, assembled In New York 1705,
and or the next Congress, assembled In Philadelphia
in 1 :14, an I various other public stations, Born A.
D. ITM. Died April, HIT."
' l'tti niniiumcntjwas erected by a portion of his re
la'iou (.h tober !. 145. In UTf, while Speaker of
tne Assembly of Pennsylvania, John Morton was re
elected a iiicmiier of Congress, und iu the ever-me-iiiora'tie
spjsion of July, 1770, he attended that
siuposi bod., for the last time, enshrining his name
m the giatciul remembrance of the American people
by (signing the Declaration of Indepen
dence. In voting by Stales upon the question
ol the independence of the American
c lonies, t'lere was a tie until the vote of Pennsyl
vania was given, two members lrom which voted in
the nfflrmative and two in the negative. The tie
continued until the vote of the last member, John
Morton, decided the promulgation of the glorious
dw!oma of American freedom.
John Morton being cenured hy some of his
friends for his boldness in giving his casting ote for
the Declaration of Independence, his prophetic
spirit dictated from his death-bed the following mes
sage' o them: 'Tell them that they will live to see
the houi wtten they shall acknowledge it to have
been the mot glorious service that 1 ever rendered
in couuti).' "
1 1tif monument was erected by his near relatives,
some oi whom were living when he died. No one
w ill den) t hat this Inscription expresses the traditions
ol our R vo atlonary period as banded down to them
t-v him. The men who signed the Declaration of
Independence rendered themselves liable to death
i case of f-fe, and their dangerous situation
m.turall: led to family conversations relating to the
sni ject. so that this record has really the force of
Written testimony.-
It Is wett known that there was a great diversity
Of opinion among the people In regard to the Decla
ration, aal the probability is that tie vote occurred
as stated on Judge Morton's monument, and was
made unanimous after the question had been de
cided by the majority a very common practice
among deliberative bodies when unanimity Is essen
tial to success. The fact that Judge Morton was
censured for his vote by the enemies of the Declara
tion would, and doubtless did, Impress the friends of
tie Union more fullf with the idea that Pennsyl
vania occupied the keystone position.
Sanderson a "Lives of the Signers," published tn
1323, toL vi, page 210, ways: "No wonder, then, that
Mr. Morton experienced the most Intense anxiety of
mind when he was required to give the casting vote
Of the Pennsylvania delegation a vote which would
either conflrra or destroy the unanimity of the
Declaration of Independence." "Lieber'g Encyclo
pedia America' a," published In 1S.12, vol. lx, page
si. says: 'Mr. Morton gave the casting vote of
Pennsylvania in favor of Independence," and char
acterizes it as ''an act of signal intrepidity.'' Los
Sing's "Lives of the Signers, " published in 1848,says:
'Mr. Morton was called on officially to give the
casting vote of Pennsylvania; that it was a solemn
responsibility thrown on him; it was for him to
decide whether there should be a unani
mous vote of the Colonies for in
dependence, but he firmly met the responsibility and
voted 'yes . and from that moment the United
Colonies were declared Independent States." There
is much other authority to prove that Pennsylvania
voted last, and made the Declaration unanimous.
This fact, coupled with her gmgraphical aitd legis
lative position, could not have failed to brlug to the
min' a of many the old idea of the unity and strength
Of the arch and Its Keystone, and cause them in the
fervor of patriotic feeling to claim for Pennsylvania
thia proud position. The events we have recited
enlisted the strongest sympathies of the people at
the time of. their occurence, and the ' prominent
place occupied by Pennsylvania must have
possessed the minds of all with the
appropriateness of the insignia the mo
ment It was uttered. .AVho first gave a public ex
pression to the Idea is not known. It might have
occurred to the minds of hundreds of people In
every county of the State at the same time, it
certainly rests on geographical, historical, and tra
ditional grounds, and we therefore think the antiqua
rian who still clings to the Rock Creek Bridge story
deserves to be elected a member of the celebrated
Pickwick Hub.
