CONSTITUTION OF NOTfWORrilY HISTORICAL TIIMD IV THE STATE GAPIIOL After a Search of Years the Document Embodying the Organic Law or the Short-lived Commoavealth Which Seceded From North Carolina Tarns Up. and is Now Published For the First ; Carolina and Encouraging Resolutions of Congress Cited in Defence of Se cession Coiutltotion of North Carolina TaXen as the ModelAn intrductory Sketch Id Trouble From the Governor John Sevier. Correspondence of The Observer, . Ralqlgh, ' September. : 8. For a tiuniber ff years search has been jfa for the constitution of the State y-ftanklln, which had a shorter and more " sensational existence , than any other In this country. This search has now ended successfully, and the constitution and'other documents were found tied up lri little paper boxes It .the office of the Insurance Commis sioner on the third floor of the capltol, this room having formerly been used as a depository of documents. All Tennes see used to belong to North Carolina, "Which, it 1b well known, ceded It to the United States. The Legislature, which, in 1874. enacted the law making the cession, provided that if Congress hould notjaccept it in two years the act was io be of no effect. The Legisla ture, at the same time, closed the office for the entry of lands in Tennessee and nullified all land ewtries except cer tain specified ones. The members from the mountain counties of Wash ington. Sullivan, (Ireen and Davidson, were present at this meeting of the r 7" Bi. If" f j GEBRAI JOHN SKVI1CH. FH Legislature at Hillsboro, and voted for the cession of Tennessee, which was then known as the "Western Territory.' The latter section oomplained of Inade quate provision on the part of North Carolina for the necessities of the west ern settlements, which had become ex tensive and burdensome to North Caro lina, and this State charged that these Tennessee people were extravagant and profligate. Historians declare that these mutual charges caused the hasty passage of the cession act of June, 1784. SECESSION FROM NORTH CARO LINA. The members from those Tennessee counties took home with them the first news of the act, and the impression was created that during two years, at least, the new settlement would be under the protection of neither Congress nor of North Carolina, bu be in anarchy without aid or support at home or abroad. NJo provision had been made for courts in that section and the "reg ulators" took charge of affairs. The militia was also partially. disorganized, with no brigadier general to call it into -service. Then the first step was taken, by the choosing by each company of militia of two representatives from the respective counties, as a committee to recommend the course to be pursued. Only three counties took this step, Washington, Sullivan, and Green, TA AlA,tlns Si iIuIarii too ThoflO delegates or deputies met at JoneBbot,- August 23, In convention, ana elected John Sevier president and London Car ter secretary. It at once raised a committee to consider affairs, and espe cially the cession of Tennessee, or ths Western Territory to the United States. Very quickly ' the ('convention unanimously adopted a report of a committee, declaring the three counties named independent of North. Carolina and providing that .if any part of Vir ginia wished to unite with, them- it could do so. There were 40 members at this convention. The decision, was an nounced to th crowd In the street. The next step was the calling of a new convention, to form, a -constitution,, and give a name, to the Independent State. Each county';-.; elected five members the same number they had chosen In 1778 to form the North Carolina consti tution. The meeting was called and held at Jonesboro September 16th, but ws not held until NovemfceriMIt broke utf in confusion.' ther being two -factions, one wishing to remain with North Car olina, the Legislature of -which was then In session at Newbern. Ths very first thing tMs-North Carolina Legisla ture did was i to '.repeal the act ceding the ,Jetern.; Territory to Congress, alJ.ioJiatlne:'a Judicial district com posed of Tennessee and appointing an associate justice and an attorney gen eral for a. court which was ordered to -be held at Jonesboro. Another step taken by the Legislature was the for mation oi the inuitta ot Washington district into a brigade,. to the command of which John Sevier was assigned. The Legislature said that the act of cession had been passed In full confidence that ' the whole expense ot Indian. expeditions , and militia help to South Carollnaand ' Georgia by the Tennessee people should That so many have tried in vain to Imitate Dr. Keeley's method and cure Is a decided; compliment to its effi ciency, because men only seek to coun terfeit 5 the genuine article, f Corre- spondenoe is cordially Invited' by:' The Keeley Institute, at Greensboro, upon any feature of The .

' SEVIER'S PROTESTS UNAVAILING!. On election day Sevier,-at Jonesboro. declared that he was satisfied with what the Legislature had" done for the western people and urged the people to go no further In their design for separ ation from North Carolina, He wrote a letter to the same effect, saying he thought the action taken would satisfy the people with North Carolina, He wrote other letters, begging the people not to set up a new government, but the people persisted, went on with the election and Sevier was one of the 15 deputies elected by the three counties named. Sevier was made president of the convention and the constitution was drawn up. to be ratified or rejected at a ((invention to be held in November 185. at Greenville, but meanwhile the people xvre to elect a Legislature for A li (iOVER.XOR. the new State, which was to be given the name of FrHnklln, this election being held according to the North Carolina laws. The Legislature met at Jones boro and at once elected Sevier as Gov ernor, also three judges. The first ses sion of the Legislature of Franklin ended March 31. 1785. CURIOUS BQtTI VALKNT8 FOR TAXES. There were some curious provisions In the constitution, one fixing the ar ticles which could be used in payment of taxes, these being home-made linen, linsey, skins of beaver, deer, otter, rac coon and fox. woolen cloth, bacon, tal low, bees-wax, rye whiskey, (by the way the price of the latter was fixed at 60 cents per gallon) peach and apple brandy, maple sugar, good tobacco, etc. This was one of the most curious pro visions ever made, and has caused a great deal of amusement, it being claimed that the salaries of the Gov ernor and other officers were to be paid entirely in skins, and it was said that mink skins were the kind prescribed. These various articles were really at thnt time best convertible into gold or silver and were in no danger of deprecla calion like bank notes. Money was very scarce and really unknown in do mestic transactions. Virginia and Maryland had made tobacco a measure of value, In North Carolina debts and rents were generally "made payable In hides, tallow, furs, etc., while musket balls and milk pails were currency; In fact, legal tender. In Massachusetts. The Legislature of Franklin arranged for a treaty with the Cherokee Indians and held a great conference. Governor Sevier deploring the sufferings of the white people and the killing of them by the Indians on the road leading from North Carolina to. Kentucky. The coun ty offices of the State of Franklin were generally given to persons who Already held commissions to .North Carolina and this was very satisfactory in Franklin. In North. Carolina the news of the fpr nation of Franklin aroused surprise! censure and condemnation and com plaints came to Governor 'Alexander Martin by the chief of the Cherokees, of violations of treaties. One matter which intensified feeling was" the mur der of a head chief of the Cherokees by an officer of they State of Franklin, Jdajor Hubbard. " Hubbard's parents ind all his other relatives had been murdered by the Shawnees In Virginia and Hubbard had sworn to kill every Indian he could. The Indians rose, and terrible was their vengeance. Governor Martin, of North Carolina, sent Sam uel Henderson to the State of Frank tin to look into the matter. - .-; . A DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE. On the first of June, 1785, the Legisla ture of North Carolina convened at i Newbern, to take action regarding the revolt of the people who had farmed the State of Franklin. Governor Martin's address .was earnest and . strong, but conciliatory, and (many . copies of It were sent to the State of Franklin. Where it had no little effect. The people of Fanklln, however, liked their inde pendence, and Sevier wrote toGoverndr Caswell, of North .Carolina, a mani festo in regard to what the State of Franklin had done. Quite 'an exchange of letters followed. Both the Spaniards and Indians threatened the people of the new State, who prepared ft declara tion of rights and a constitution. The nam -of t Franklin was vat this time regularly chosen, by a small majority, a number of the delegates, favoring the name . Frankland. ' The constitution of it North Carolina was really Adopted, with few changes. Congress was asked to permit the separation of the western section of -Virginia and North Caro lina from the old or eastern .section. Oreenvllle wajr'made the permanent capital of,; the new State. Various strifes arose -nd the-new government was in trouble from the start. There really were two governments, as an (lection was held for Franklin and also for North Carolina, John Tipton and others being chosen as members of the North Carolina Legislature, their course Inducing many -, to accept the terms held out by North Carolina and in taking position against the new State. So In 1876 there were two sets of courts, and all sorts of retaliations, a feud arising between Tipton and Sevier, Tipton holding courts under the authority of North Carolina at Buffalo, only ten miles from Joneaboto. while corrt was held in Jonesboro in the same county under Franklin author ities. The State of Franklin then em braced seven counties and had its mi litia, etc. Troubles with the-lhdlans continued. North Carolina continued to legislate for Franklin Territory and laid off a new county called Hawkins, composed of what the Franklin government had made the county of Spencer. Karly In 1787 there was a compromise by which the people were given the right of pay ing taxes and owing allegiance to either of the rival governments, at their own pleasure. Never was there a more sin gular condition Of affairs. In a crowd people were heard to hurrah for North Carolina, and others for Franklin. THSJ END IN 1788. The compromise was found to be a failure, unil In 1788 the State of Frank lin ceased to exist, as it was found that a new' State or Territory would be formed by Congress. Every day adher ents 'of the new State transferred their allegiance to North Carolina, sd that really by 1787 Sevier had hardly any followers of any importance. The I- i link 1 in Legislature was going to pieces. Very few documents of the State of Franklin have survived, and no land grants from It have been found. The last defection was of the State council, which, one by one, left Sevier. It was in Februury 1788, that Franklin ceused to exist. It is a strange story. Sevier was really a-masterful man, as his portrait shows, it being In the uni form of a general. AN UNPRETENTIOUS DOCUMENT. The constitution of the State of Franklin Is a very small document. written rather plainly and In a fairly good handwriting, and is covered with dingy brown paper. It is a very un pretentious document; Indeed, there is nothing on the cover to mark it. Very little of it Is faded. The writing may have been that of Sevier himself, as it Is not unlike his signature. Sevier seems always to have leaned towards North Carolina, the old mother State, as his uctlons showed. He was, how ever, very much like Governor Vance, who went to the civil war with reluct- nce. but put his whole heart In the Ight when once he Btarted In. No doubt Sevier's application for pardon was made with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. The records of his short-lived State are certainly meager and the collection now found will be printed in the State records. It does not seem that many of the documents have found their way into print. The picture of Sevier Is secured through the courtesy of Harper & Bros., publish ers, of New York city, and are from sketches made from life by a Tennessee artist, the sketches being in crayon, both being said to be excellent. The little State, indeed, had a hard time, it having incurred the displeasure of North Carolina, having hostile Indians always around it, and having fenr of the Spaniards also. It really doesn't seem such a great while since the State was in operation, and yet its story shows how wild a country east Tennes see was then. TEXT OF THE I'OMSTITl'TIOIV. Your committee appointed to collect and adjust the reason which impels us to declare ourselves Independent of North Carolina Report as follows (to wit) Whereas we the freedmen Inhabi tants of part of the Country Included in the limits of an Act of North Caro lina Ceding certain vacant Territory to Congress; have declared ourselves Independent of North Carolina -a decent respect to the opinions of mankind make it proper that we should manifest to the world the reasons which Induced us to a declaration, which are as fol lows First. That the Constitution of North Carolina declares that It shall be Justifiable to erect New States West ward when ever the Consent of the Legislative shall Countenance it, & this Consent is implied we conceive in the Cession act which has thrown us into such a citation that the influahce of the I -aw in common cases became almost a nullity & Incrlmiiial Jurisdiction had intirely seased which reduced us to the verge of anarchy. 2nd. The Assembly of North Carolina have detained a Cer tain quantity of Goods, which was pro cured to satisfy the Indians, for the lands we possess which detainure.we fully conselve has so exasperated them that they have actually committed hos tilities upon us & we are alone lmpeled to defend ourselves from these ravlges. 3dly. The resolutions of Congress held out from time to time incoyraglng the erection of New States have ap peared to us ample incouragement. 4thly. Our local situation is such that we not only apprehend that we should be seperated from North Caro lina; but almost verry sensible disin terested traviler has declared it Incom patible -with out Interest to belong in union with the Eastern part of the State for we are not only far removed from the Eastern part of North Caro lina. But seperated from them by high & almost impasable mountains which naturally divide us from them have proved to us that our Interest is also In many respects distinct from the Inhab itants on the other side & much injured by an union with them. 5th And lastly we Unanimously agree that our lives, liberties and prosperity can be more secure & our happiness much better propagated by our separation & con siquently that It is our duty and un alienable right to form ourselves into a new Independent State. - A Declaration of rights mads by the representatives of the Freemen of the State of Franklin 1st.
