Jit , genual meeting of deputies cf toe inhabitants hf tin
province,atNewhern, tie tyb day of Augufl, 1774,
Yhe deputies Men nut proceeded to make choice of a mtdera
tor, when Col. JOHN HARVEY was una
riim-ujlf cbofn, and Mr. Andrew Knox appointed
Clerk. . .
WE his M.yrfty’s most dutiful and loyal fubjrtt., the
deputies t'rom rite leverai counties and towns of
the province of North-Carolina, imprefled with the mart
lacred respect tor the Britifti conrtitutiun, and rel rived to
maintain the fucccflion of the houle of Hanover, is by law
•ftabliftreJ, and avowing our inviolable and unshaken fidelity
to our sovereign, and entertaining a sincere regard for our
fell >w-fobjefti in Great-Britain, viewing with the utmost
abhorrence every attempt which may tend to disturb the
peace and good order of this colony, or to lhakc the fidelity
of his Majesty’s fubjedls rest dent here; but, at the fame
time, c nceiving it a duty which we owe to ourselves, and
to posterity, in tne present alarming Bate of Britilh Ame
rica, when our most ellrntial rights are invaded by powers
unwarrantably affirmed by the parliament of Great-Britain,
to declare our sentiments in the molt public manner, left
our file ’ce Ihould be construed as acquiescence, and that we
patiently submit to the ourrhen which they have thought
fit to impofc upon us.
Reflved, That his Ma;e(ty George the third is lawful
and rightful Ring nt Great-Britain, and ot the dominions
thereunto belonging, and of this province as part thereof.
and that wc do b-ar faithful and true allegiance unto him
as our lawful sovereign, and tliat we will, to the utmost ot
uur power, maintain and defend the fuccetrton of the huufe
of Hanovsr, as by law eftablilhed, against the open or pri
vate attempts of any person or power whattoever. .
Reflved, That wc cl-im no mure than the rights of
Englilhmen, without diminution or *bridgcme'>‘ • 1 hat
it is our indifpe ftble duty, and will Oe our constant endea
vour, to maintain those rights to the utmost of our power,
confidently with the loyalty which we owe our lovertign
and a facied regard for the Brijiffi constitution.
Rcflveel, That is of the very dfer.ee of the Britilh con
rtit’iticm, that nofobjca (houlH be taxed but by his own con-
Icrr, tieclv given by himlelf in person, or by his legal repre
sentatives ; and that any otiier than such a taxation is
highly derogatory to the lights of the fubjed, and a gross
violation of the grand charter of our liberties. >
Refitted, That as the Biitifi; fubjeds, rchdent in Norih-
Arr.cnca, have not, nor can have, ar.y representation in ti e
paihament of Great-Britain, that therefore any afl of par
liament, impoling a tax upon them, is illegal and uncon
ftituiion.il; but that our provincial a lemb ics (the Ring,by
his governor, ronftituting one btanch thereof) folcly and
exclullvcly poflel’s that right. , ,
Reflved , That the dut es imposed by several acts of the
Britilh parliament upon tea and other articles consumed in
Amer ca, for the purpose of raising a revenue, are highly
illegal and opprrfiive ; and that the late exportation ot tea
by the Kaft-lndia compiny to different parts of America,
was intended to give efledt>T: one ot the Li<i afls, and there
by efhbliih a precedent highly dilhonourable to America,
and to obtain an implied aifent ro the powers which Great-
Brit <in h<d unwarrantably alfumed, of levying a tax upon
us \s ithout our confcnt.
Rrfohed, That the inhabitants oftheMallschufetts pro
vince Inve diftinguilh-d tnemfelves in a manly support-at
the tighu of America in general,and th.t the caute in whit h
they now fufTer, is the caute ofevery honeftAmerican, wh >
e.feires the bletfings whicli the constitution holds forth to
him. That the gi ic vances under which the town of Boiion
l.ib.M's at prelrnt are the eftcCl of a lefentment, icve.led at
them, for having flood loremoii in an oppolition to rnca
fnrei, which ntuft eventually have involved all lliitilh
America .s a state of abjeCl dej enhance and fervitode.
The ait of I’ailiament, commonly called ‘l he Ref on
Port AH, as it tends to shut up the por ot Bi Aon, and
tjyrinr rftflMßlh lHHfll Tiv •
h.llieito procured by an honest induilry ; as it takes away
the wharves, quays, and other property if many individuals,
by rendering it utelefs to them , and as the dutatron ot this
ati depends upon ciicumilanctSi fount.cJ merely inrpiii.ii,
and in tLrir natme indite:minate, and thereby m y make
the rnitir 'S it carries with it even perpetual ; Refitted
eh, re fore, That it is the moil cruel infringement ot the
rights and ptivilpts of the people of Bolton, bom as men
and members of the Bra.ifh gove nment.
Rtf toed, 'I hat the late Att of Bail!ament for regulating
the police of that province, is an infringement of the charter
right granted them by their M.'.jellies Ring \v iili.un and
Queen Mary, and tcilds to lcfic.i that ftcred coufiucuce
vuiich nught to be (laced in the ails ol Kings.
Refilled, That it.al by juries of the vicinity, is the only
lawful inqneft thiu can pat's upon the life of a Bntilh subj- dl;
and that it is a right, handed down to us from the carlieft
a s es, confirmed ard fjr.&ified by M.igra Chan a itfrlf, that
no foreman lhall be tak n or imprisoned, or difpofiefled of
his lice tenement and liberties, or outlawed, or banilhed, or
any wile hurt or injured, ur.lefs by the legal judgment cl
Ms peers, or by the law of the land; and there lore, all who
li,*fer orfcerwile, are not vidtims to public jollier, but fall a
facribce to the powers of tyranny and high-handed opprellion.
ReJ htd, That the Bill lor altering the Adminithation
of luit’ce in certain criminal cases, wiiliin tlie Province ot
Mallai.hulrtts.Bay, as it hnpowers the Governors thereoi
to fend t Great-Btiuin for trial ail perfoM who, in a.d

is ft night with the tvgK'ft injulßce and partiality, and will
trnJ to p *>d ce f cqucr.t bioodihed ot the inhabitants, as this
Adt hi I'ltlics an opportunity to commit the most atiocious
crimes, w rit the gieatift probability of impunity.
P. fohed. That wc will not, indiicdHy, after
the lirft day of Janua.y, 1775, imivoit ftom Great-Britain,
any East lndia goods, or any merchand.re whatever (meJi

im|voited of any perlon or prrlons whatever, except luch as
are r.ow in the country,or my arrive on or bclore the laid

Reftved, That unleft Amenean grievances are redreired
before the rirft of Odtolver, 1771;, we will nut, after that
day, diredly or indirettly, export tobacco, pitch, tar, tur
pentine, or alfv otner articie whatever, to Gteat-Bruaiii j

Refoh.d, That they view the atrtrrpts made Uv the
Minuter upon the town of Boston, as a jrrluae to a gene

the luccels of this depends, in a great niedurc,the happiness

By his Lxceilency JOSIAH MARTIN, F.fq;
Captain-General, Governor and commander in Chief, in

A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS it appears to me, that meetings and
at’remblifs of the inhabitants of this pr vice have
been in fume of the counties and towns thereof already held,
and are in others appointed to be held without any legal au
thority—and that reioives have b-en entered into, and
plans concerted, in luch meetirgs as are pilled, derogatory,
to his majeftv and the parliament of Great Britain j and
that there is reason to apprehend the lame inflammatory,
difioyal and indecent measures, may be adopted in such
future allemblics, inconf.lient with the peace and gcud
order of this gorer.ment, and tending to excite cla
mour ai J difconicnt among his majetly’s lubjcfts in this
province : I have thought fit, with the advice and con
frnt of h s raajefty’s council, to iffire this proclamation,
to difccutage, as much as poflibic, proceedings so illegal and
unwarrantable in their nature, and in their eflefl so obvi
oufl y injuricus to the welfare cf this country ; Anc to this
end Ido hereby tlricßy require and enjoin,on their ahegiance,
all and even his Maj’efty a fubjefli to forbear to attend at
ar.y luch illegal meetings, and that they do difcouiagc and
prevent the lame by all and every means in their lower ;
arid more patticula.ly thar they do forbear to attenl, and
da prevent as far as in them lies, the meeting of certain
deputies, fa d to be appointed to be held at Newlern on
the 2“h instant. And Ido more especially charge, require
and command, ail and every his majeftv s justices of the
peace, ffieiirts, and other cfficcrs, to bearding and affirting
herein to the utmuft of then power.
GIVEN unoer my hand, and the great seal of the said

Extract of a Letter from London.
“ I inclofe you a bill, which will soon be a law, and
which (peaks the intcritiocA oC.stbnuf/kxiu o-Om-nf. ,r,

the only measure which is at once late and fore. The

(hall never abandon. ... „ ,
CC Mr. Rigby, who is at the head cf the Bedtord peo
ple, and Sir Gilbert Flliot, who prelides in the Royal
Junto, both declared in the House ot Commons, that as
to-.n as America was reduced to order, it was intended to
tax them. You may depend upon this as a f.A
---11 is the opinion of your belt tiicnds iicrr, that you
flrmild put a to al Hop to all commerce with this country,
both exports and imports. Some woulJ carry it so tar, as
to flop all pr.ivifrons and lumber from being sent to tire
Weft-Indies. The lew absolute necelTaries a hardy people
can want, who are contending for the dearest ot all earthly
blcflings, their Liberty, rnay be easily had from St.
Eulla.ia, the French Weft-Indies, or feme parts ..I F.u

here—at the fame time, by a judicious manifclto, address
the Britilh merchants, manufacturers, and your btctlucn
in England,’ftating modestly our grievances, pointing out
the mode of redress, and comi'laining of the gtievous nc
cclfity you are driven to. All the colonies, it is expected,
will unite ; tiir w'lich end a Congress lhould be held as

under this general apprehtnfion that the flocks continue so
uncommonly high as they are at present, and have been
for lomc time palt. Mr. Hutchinson sin g health, ind
in apparent high fpiritx ; he is much quoted ty administra

monflrarce or petition (which, by the bye, tt is already de
termined not to 1 tetivt) and that you are so attached to your
private interests, vou will never flop cither imports or ex

city, are daily both at court and in London, ridiculed on
account of the high founding declarations of patriotism,
made, as it ir said, by the cowardly Americans; and are
hourly mortifi -d with the detestable opinions of H——
and other natives cf America, being pleufingly repeated
and relied on ; but for my part, however 1 arn petpctuaily

perfwade myfelfyour countrymen are not so contaminated

that this is the important crisis when they ought to make
a folcmn, fulien, united, and invincible (land, against the

exercizing by this legislature aga nil the rights and freedom
of Ame. ica: Anc let me add, that of the deputies of the

and all firmly refoive to eftahlifn through every county and
towr.ffiip, in thrir refpeftive provinces, a foienin league

country (fare what are collected already within the provin

India Mauds; and at the lame time they do n.t rcligioufly
refoive to meet again in Congrcfs eveiy fix months, for
the purpose of farming a fuitablr plan, for the permanent

things are not done, and if they do not determine faith
fully to (land by each other, until every adt psffed this
