Mecklenburg Declaration of Iiuioppndeiu'C
Adopted 31a 20th, 1775.
The following interesting article is
clipped from an ancient volume owned
by Suit. Benbow :
In the spring of 1775, the leading char
acters of Mecklenburg comity, North Car
olina, stimulated by that enthusiastic pat
riotism which elevates the mind above
considerations of individml aggrandize
ment, and scorning to shelter them
selves from the impending storm by sub
mission to lawless power, etc., etc., held
several detached meetings, in each of
which the individual sentiments were:
"That the cause of Boston was the cause
of all; that their destinies were indis
solubly connected with those of their
eastern fellow-citizens and that they
must either submit to all the impositions
which an unprincipled, and to them an
unrepresented, parliament might impose
or support their brethren who were
doomed to sustain the first shock of that
power, which, if successful there, would
ultimately overwhelm all in the common
calamity." Conformably to these prin
ciples a convention met at Charlotte, vest
ed with unlimited powers, and on the 20th
day of May, 1775, uiianmously adopted
the famous declaration.

THE DECLARATION.
Abraham Alexander was appointed
chairman, and John M'Kitt Alexander,
clerk. The following resolutions were
oh'ered, viz:
1. Hetiolred, That whosoever directly
or indirctly abetted, or in any way, form
or manner, countenanced the unchartered
and dangerous invasion of our rights, as
claimed by Great Britain, is tin enemy to
this country, to America, and to the in
herent and inalienable rights of man.
2. Hcsoh-ed, That we, the citizens of
Mecklenburg county, do hereby dissolve
the political bands which have connected
us to the mother country, and hereby ab
solve ourselves from all allegiance to the
British crown, and abjure till political
connection, contract, or association, with
that nation, who have wantonly trampled
on our rights and liberties, and inhuman
ly shed the blood of American patriots at
Lexington.
3. lletuteed, That we do hereby declare
ourselves a free and independent people,
are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign
and self-governing association, under the
control of no power other than that of
our God and the general government of
the congress; to the maintenance of
which independence, we solemnly pledge
to each other our mutual co-operation,
our lives, our fortunes, and our most
sacred honor.
4. Hntolced, That as we now acknowl
edge the existence and control of no law
or legal ollicer, civil or military, within
this count, we do hereby ordain and
adopt as a rule of life, all, each and every
of our former laws, wherein, neverthe
less, the crown of Great Britain never
can be considered as holding rights, privi
leges, immunities or authority therein.
5. Hesohnl, That it is further decreed,
that all, each and every military ollicer
in this county, is hereby reinstated in his
former command and authority, he act
ing conformably to these regulations.
And that every member present, of this
delegation, shall henceforth be a civil olli
cer, viz: a justice of the peace, in the
character of a "Committe-nwn,"1 to issue
process, hear and determine all matters
of controversy, according to said adopted
laws, and to preserve peace, union and
harmony in said county; and to use
every exertion to spread the love of coun
try and lire of freedom throughout Amer
ica, until a more general and organized
government be established in this prov
ince. After discussing the foregoing resolves,
and arranging bylaws and regulations
for the government of a stalling com
mittee of public safety, who were selected
from these delegates, the whole proceed
ings were un.tnimously adopted and sign
ed. A select committee was then ap
pointed to draw a more full and definite
statement of grievances, and a more form
al declaration of independence. The dele
gation then adjourned about 2 o'clock, a.
m., .May 20.
