On the 9th July thereafter, Thomas Jeffersoninja published letter to John Adams, called in question the authenticity of this paper. In 1831, the Governor of North Carolina Montfort Stokes,) in obedience, to. a resolution, of the General Assembly, reaffirmed theuthenticity.of tho controverted document, and pqblished all the evidence that could then 'Vhe obtained in support of -it. The leading ob 1 jec&n of Mr. Jefferson, however, was not an-i- Bwered. This gigantic step Of the county of ; Mecklenburg " as proved by no contempo V'rapeious tecord, was noticed by no historian of f North Carolina,' or the adjacent States, and had . never until then found its way even into the ' newspapers " When Mr.'IIenry's resolutions, (said Mr. Jefferebn",) far short of independence, J- flew like lightning through every paper, and T- kindled both sides of the Atlantic this flaming '-"declaration of the same date, of the indepen dence of Mecklenburg, county, of North Caro , ina, absolving it from the British allegiance, -and abjuring all political' connection with that nation-Although sent to Congress, too, is never ' hvmi&t-2&r frring, pOuir nuiew wim avouched the fact of the declaration, were nume rous "and respectable ;'4ht 3h4 the -absence of . 1.11 written contemporaneons evidence, uaa mere been h snbsfiquent developments, the issue, out Of North Carolina, would probably have been decided jagainst us. Shortly after the ap pearance of the. State pamphlet, however, Teter ForcediscQvered itt "an English periodical, a proclamation issued by Gov.

Mr. Parks states that the newspaper alluded to, unfortunately, - could-not be found in the office. :-" v Gov."-" Martin,, on his hasty abdication, pro bably carried with him all the records that were immediately ' accessible.

I have enterea into these minute ue iaiia. however: not merely for the purpose of ex plaining the causes of the mystery and obcuri- ty in wntcn inis reinarmuio ccn in vui hits hitherto been involved, but to prepare you for the tedious and pains-taking investigation, "upon -which we tire about to enter. Whilst the war was in progress, the tory lea ders of course communicated only with Gover nor Martin or .his (confidential agents, and when it was over, and life'no longer dependent upon secrecy, the tear ofaisgrace was a sumcieni mo- . . . T a tivft for silence. For facts and illustrations, then, in relation to thin portion of our history, we must turn to unpuDiisncu rccorua and niuiiuscupin, ucio elsewhere, to contemporaneous publications in the sister tales and especially to tne records, magazines and newspapers of the mother coun try. ' Many of these sources of information will in due lime be"opene"d to us", in' the immense and invaluable repository of facts, in relation to the whole range of American history, now in the course of publication under the patronage of tbeeeneral government by Peter Force. L j Whether the design in removing Gov. Tryon to.New xork, was to reward bim lor tne vigor and ability with which he had maintained the royal cause during the commotion occasioned ty the stamp aot, and the subsequent war with tbe Regulators, or to make room for a successor better suited to the peculiar condition of things in North Carolina, the measure was evidently a wise one.- Gov. T rvon was not a favorite with any considerable portion of the population. He was disliked by tne le:iding men upon the tape Fear; and was the great object of aversion and dread to the regulators. Gov. Martin on the Other hand was able to adopt measures of con ciliation, especially by a judicious exercise ot the pardoning power, and of this advantage it j will be seen he availed himself promptly and i dexterously. .1 The bond of union between the Regulators and the Highlanders and the consequent almost universal support yielded by both parties, to the royal government, are sul jects of interesting enquiry, but not we think of very difficult ex planation. There was the sympathy produced by the. sense of common oppression and suffer ing, and a common apprehension of future pun ishment for past offences. There was the addi tional tie of deep seated devotion to Prince Ed ward upon the part of the Highlanders, and a decided preference for him, to the reigning monarch, on the part of the Regulators. This is shown with respect to the Regulators by the most prominent fact set forth in Gov. Tryon's proclamation of the 18ih October, 1770. The series of outrags perpetrated at Hillsborough fly attacking hjs Majesty's associate justice in the execution oi ins omce anu oaroarousiy ueaiing province, anu mere is ample evnienco, that tne and wounding several other persons, concludes ! opinion w as confidently entertained by the gov with an averment of the crowning enormity of j eminent iu the autumn of 1775, that a respecta "drinking damnation to their lawful sovereign ble naval and military armament sent to the aid King George and success to the Pretender."J of Governor MariLu would not merely reetoro The Regulators, though now arrayed on the ! him to his lost authority, but insure the speedy side of the King, were nevertheless in opposi- j subjugation of all the southern provinces.

A portion, too, of the Highlanders igulators, became an otjectof momentous impor were probably themselves Regulators, aud others j tance and concern. may have sympathized with them.

I be spirit which anima-1 ted it may be traced in events which occurred about this time in Halifax, Butifl and Granville, ! .while it maintained a decided ascendency in Orange, liandolph, Guilford, Surry and the con tiguous portion of llowan. In Anson, from which the present county of Richmond had not then been separated, the manifestations were about as early and nearly as violent aa in Orange. Waightstill Avery, (he first Attorney General after the revolution, having just obtained a license to practice law from Governor Tryon, was sworn as an attorney at the April term, 1709, of Anson Superior Court. Here be be came acquainted with Maj.John Dunn, Col. Samuel Spencer, aud Capt. Alexander Martin, the first named a prominent tory, and the two latter leading whigs in subsequent times. His diary records the fact that theae gentlemen in formed him that on the evening previous to his arrival, (11th April,) "a set of banditti who stylad themselves Regulators brought a large quantity of hickory switches to menace the iclerkiif the court Col. Spencer; and flogged his writer."!) This occurrence was nearly 18 months previous to the great Hillsborough riot w hich called forth the proclamation of Governor Tryon. How much further the spirit of the party may have been disseminated in tbe direc tion of tho Scotch settlements, and to what ex tent the Highlanders had passed the bounda ries of Anson, it may not be very easy at the present day to determine. That a very intimate union existed between these clans and the Re gulators, from the Cape Fear to the , extreme western settlements bordering on the BlueRidge, within a short time thereafter, is clearly ascer tained. Governor Martin's ascendency over both parties, is every where manifest. A letter from the Earl of Dartmouth to the Governor, dated White Hall, May 3, 1775, reveals the spell which bound the Regulators to the throne. "Your letters of the 26th January and 10th of In March, 1771, John Miller, printer of tho London Kren injc Post, was arrested by order of the House of Commons, for publk-ation, regarded as libellous. He was discharged by' the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London, on the jrround that the order was illegal, and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen were in turn summoned to answer at tbe bar of tbe House for con tumacy.

We have in this dispatch the earliest intima tion of the first measure adopted in the plan of the campaign of 1776, the history of which we now begin to trace, and to develop, step by step. . Governor Martin was able and indefatigable, but evidently credulous and sanguine. He had persuaded himself and in due time succeeded in convincing the home government, that the authors of these addresses 6poke the sentiments of a decided majority of the people of the pro vince. He travelled extensively and mingled freely with the inhabitants of the more popul ous counties, and especially in the highland set tlements. A very large proportion of the mo nied capital, a much more potent instrument then than at the present day, was wielded by Scotch merchants, who had establishments in all the more important counties At the head of this interest was John Hamilton, of Halifax, who is in due time to cfaim our attention in a more imposing position. In May, 1774, Gov. Martin spent ten days in that town on his way to select a summer resi dence in the county of Bute, and is supposed to have passed a considerable- part of tho summer there on his return.f lie had secret adherents, moreover, in the ranks of the professedly most ardent of the Whigs. Among these may be particularized Farquard Campbell and Tliumas Rutherford, men of wealth, character and in fluence iu the county of Cumberland. They were members of the first provincial convention, which met at NewBcrhe, on the 25th of August, 1774, and appointed William Hooper, Joseph Hews and Kichard l.aswell delegates to th I first Continental Congress. They were members of tho second Provincial Convention which met at the same place. On the 3d of April, 1775, they both signed the articles of American Association and united in the vote denouncing the "equivocal conduct" of Thomas Macknight, a member from Curri tuck, in withholding his signature, and in liold- ing min up "as the proper object o. contempt to this continent." They were members of the first Provincial Congress in August, 1775, at i Hillsborough, and of the second which met at j New Berne, 4th April, 1770. On the 1-th of i that month they voted for the Resolution in- 6tructing our delegates in the Continental Con gress, to declare independence. Before the meeting of the third Provincial Congress, they were both in confinement at Halifax, as prison ers of war. Royal governors, like their royal masters, are frequently, in perilous times, in situations not the most favorable for the ascertainment of irum, anu ii is noi ver- surprizing mat a g.Mi tleman of Governor Alartin's temperament, ! should, from the evidence before him, and the influences by which he was surrounded, have greatly over estimated the strength of the loy alists. With the exception Georgia, all the Fntrli&K urrWara if t Km A.- ' - ion that the adherents of the crown were more i numerous in North Carolina, than in any other She was no Ion ger young, but independently of the historic fame which she hud even then achieved, was eminently fascinating and attrac- ! tive. the great giant ot hnglish literature, Dr. Jihnson, was her guest in September of that year, occupied tho room and sleiit in the bed which had given shelter and repose to the fugi tive Stuart, and there is obviously no incident in hi personal history, to which he referred more frequently or with greater pride and plea- sure. AVe have his assurance, that her name I will be mentioned in history, and if courage and ' fidelity be virtues, mentioned with honor, lie describes her a a woman of middle stature, soft ; features and elegant presence, and in a subsc- ! quent letter to Mrs. Thrale, as if "pleasing per son ftnd elegant behaviour." He adds, that she and her husband are poor and going to try their I fortune in America. She is understood to have ' married at 24, and must then have been about ! 4 years of age. Her 'husband was' probably ' something oi ler. ! Uftswell represents him to have been the beau ! ideal of a highland chieftain, exhibiting .'the : graceful inein and manly looks which the'popu- i lar Scotch scng has attributed to that character, i He had his tartan plaid thrown about him, ai large blue bonnet w ith a knot of blue ribbonds, j like a cockade, and brown coat, of a sort of! duffil, and tartan waiscoat with gold buttons and gold button holds, a bluish philiheg and tartan i hose. He had jet black, hair, tied behind, and j was a large stately man with a steady, sensible, i countenance. An only son, born in 1759, ac-1 companied them on their emigration to North Carolina a son in all respects worthy of 1ms lineage and destined to attain celebrity, in arms, ' letters, and science.? ' ! High as his pretensions seem to have been j however, Allan McDonald was not "the pru- dent and discreet officer," selected by General ' Gage to lead the united bands of Regulators and i Highlanders. Towards the close of the year 1773, as we i learn from the nccount of the proceedings of the American Colonists in the Gentleman's Maga zine for Jnne 1776, two Scotch officers, Messrs. McDonald and McLeod, passed through New Berne. ."They were suspected of some sinister desi gns and questioned by the provincials con cerning their business. They pretended they we're officers who were wounded at Bunker's Hill, and had left - the army with a design to settle among their friends." On the 10th day of, January, 1776, Governor Martin, from on board his Majesty's ship Crui ser, in Cape Fear river, issued a proclamation, Am. Arch, ith aerior, vol. lut, 478.

This actual and declared rebellion now existed, and on the second uf December, John Hancock, the President of the Continental Congress, no;i- fied General Washington that Lord Dunuiore had erected the royal standard at Norfolk, pro claimed martial law, offered freedom to the ne groes, aud invited them to join him. To one hundred and twenty regular troop, Lord Dun more joinod a number of tories and negroes with his force; i;e marched to tho Great Bridge in the county uf Nansemond, where he en trenched himself, waiting the success of the emmissaries whom he ha I sent into the district of Eden ton, to tempt the slaves in the northern counties to seek refuge under the royal standard, with the hope of freedom. The Blue llidge was at this time the dividing line between North Carolina and the Cherokees The tribe was represented by Colonel Dray ton as numbering more than 2(MHJ warriors ; John Stuart was the royal agent and Alex ander Cameron his principal deputy. A let ter from the latter to General Gage, inter cepted in dune. 1775, states that Stuart's in terest with the Indians was much greater, and that he was more beloved by them, than any other man. The writer remarks, nevertheless, tl.,at ,,e ,l:l1 tlie vanity to suppose that he could himsclt head any number lie thought proper, whenever culled jupon in support oi his Majes ty's government. Both these persons were Scotchmen, anl their names arc found among substantial evidence was afforded that Came ron's was no emptv boast, though the storm j did not burst upon the frontiers until the 5th j June in the following year. j At the time then th it Governor Miriu issued j his l'roclam ttion declaring the existence of an 1 unnatural rebellion within the province, and I dispatched his commission to leading m.-n, iri ! a continuous chain of counties, from C;uu , berland to llowan, urging them to erect tho i royal standard, aud niot him at B.'tinswirk, on j the 1.3 tii February, L r 1 Dunmore waa in force i upon our northern border; Sir Henry Clinton destined to tne cniet command with tne .Mercu ry, King Fiher, two or three tender and f ur companies of trooji.l(wus on his way from New York ; Lord William t'ampbell in the Syreu was expected from South Carolina, and Sir Pe ter l'arker :iad sailed from Portsmouth with a squudr ni of two frigates, eight sloops, asehoon- i cr n"d d boiuo-Ketcti, with seven regiments ot troops on hoard, under the command ot Ivird Cornwallis. Tho train was laid, and it would seem that Governor Martin had merely to apply the match and kindle a civil, a savage, a ser vile war from Virginia to South Carolina, from the Atlantic to the Allogenics. Had no unforeftcen causes occurred to defeat lefeat the operation of this well planned campai 11 tne early subjugation of XorUi Carolina, and of all the Southern States, would, humanly speaking, seo i to have been inevitable. But there is a God that ruleth in the affairs of men, Sir Hen ry Clinton, comuiander-in-chief, did not clear the cartes of Virginia until the '2uth February. A six weeks' voyage would have placed Lord Cornwallis upon our shores, by the day appoin ted for the rendezvous of the Kogulalors and tlmJlighlauders ut Brunswick. But the sea son was stormy, the voyage a long one, and Ad miral Parker did not arrive at the mouth of Cape Fear until tlie beginning of May. Fire years thereafter, in tho month of February, 1781, a sudden risii of tho waters, first in tho Yadkin and nest in the Dan, twice saved the retreating army of Greene from the same Corn wallis. lie led from Ireland on this occasion, a more powerful army than that with which he won the fatal triumph, the victorious defeat at Guilford. But in the mean time tho battle of Moore's creek had been fought. It is not my purpose to pre sent even a sketch of that action. The pen of English history has never been guided by an abler or more impartial hand than that of Ed mund Burko, and his brief account, evidently lramca trom materials, at tnat time inaccessi ble tn any one on this side the Atlantic, is the most comprehensive and accurate that has fall en under my observation. ft The, consequences of this victory have from causes, rendered I trust sufficiently obvious by the preceding narrative, never been duly appre ciated. The State and the nation'owe a debt of gratitude to the victorious leaders, Caswell, Lil linton and Moore, which will be more clearly comprehended and deeply felt in subsequent times thauht present. Strange to say, even the official accounts, though on tile in the Secreta ry's office, have to this day never been printed in the State of North Carolina. - The brief des- patch of Caswell, and a considerable extract from the report of Moore, may be found in tne fifth volume of the American Arcbiyes.J;t .Bnt there is no other work, to which I am able to :' ' Am.

S ted man attributes the fortunes of the Iday to the extraordinary'energy and skill ex hibited by tue provincial com inanaer ana great division in the councils of the loyalists.' Allan McDonald, it will be remembered, was tho first named in the commission to erect the royal standard, while not only Donald McDon ald mt Col. McLeod took precedence in the field. Can it be that the preference of the new comers, over the old settlers, the immediate friends of the pretender, and tho husband 6f Flora, gave rise to this fatal dissension ?f Gen eral McDonald was not in the action, but con fined to his bed with dangerous illness at a house 8 miles distant. McLeod, the actual com mander, fell while rqshing impetuously at the head of the column, at the first fire. The victory was not only decisive but over whelming; 1500 rifles, all of them excellent pieces, 350 guns and shot bags, 150 swords and dirks, 2 mcduine chests immediately from En gland, one valued at .300 sterling. 13 wagons with complete sets of horses, a box of half Jo hannes and English guinea amounting to 15000, and 850 common soldiers, were among the trophies of the field. t In addition to the highland chieftains, Col. Thomas Rutherford of Cumberland. Capt. John Piles, the unfortunate victim of Lee and Pick ens, in 1781, and four persons of the name of Fields of the county of Guilford, all of them fa miliar as persons authorized to erect the royal standard in their respective counties, were among the prisoners. The victory was won on the 27th February. On the 5th March tho provincial council com municated Col. Caswell's letter, written the day after the battle, to the president of the conti nental congress. The council, aftor .stating the measures which had been adopted to secure the persons and estates of the ringleaders among the Highlanders and the Regulators, take oc casion to assure the continental congress that they have every thing to hope from the vigi lance, skill and activity of the officers and the patriotism and courage exhibited by the men upon this occasion, that a noble ardor pervaded all classes, insomuch, that, in less than a fort night, 0,400 mon and upwards were embodied and on their march to meet the enemy, and that more might have been raised if it had been ne cessary, i The following extract of a letter from a gen tleman in North Carolina, dated April 17th, 177(3, (probably a misprint for the 7th,) may be fouml in tho 5th vol. 4:h series of the Amer ican Archives, p. 'J59. "I arrived here after a tedious journey. As I came through Virginia, I found the inhabi tants desirous to bo independent from Britain. However they were willing to submit their opinion on tho subject to whatever the general Congress should determine. North Carolina by far exceeds them, occasioned by the great fatigue, trouble and danger the people here have undergone for some time past. Gentle men of the first fortune in the province have mnr.-Knil ns common soldiers: and to encourage and give spirit to the men, have footed it the w hole time. Lord Cormcallis with seven regi ments is expected to visit us every day. Clin ton is now in Ciijx: Icar with Gov.

Independence is the word must us.ed. They ask if it is possible, that any colony after what has passed can wish for a re Conciliation ? The convention have tried to get the opinion of the people at'Iargo. I am told that in many counties there was not one dis senting voice. Four more battallions are di rected to be-raised w hich will make six in the province." Within five days from tho expression of these opinions, viz: on the 12th April, the provincial 1 i 1.. . . 1 .

" Admiral Parker arrived about the 1st of May. "On the 5th Sir IlonrV Clinton issned his proclamation, from on board the Pallas, de claring that a rebellion existed, denouncing all committees, and congresses, but offering free pardon to all who would lay down their arms and submit to the laws, excepting only Corne-. lius Harnett and Robert llowe.f On tho following Sunday, between two and three o'clock in the morning, 000 troops under the command of Lord Cornwallis landed upon the plantation of General Howe, in the county of Brunswick, and were foiled in an attempt to surprise Major Davis stationed at the mill at Orton, with about-150 militia.' They burned tho mill, ravaged General Howe's plantation, carried off a few bullocks and returned to their transports w ith the loss of two men killed, a prisoner and several wounded. Gov. Martin was received on board the flag ship of the squa dron, and this powerful armament, from which so much had been expected, was by the close of the month underway to experience further dis appointments and. more signal - disasters in South Carolina. - v-- .
