And became they did so, we have as sembled to day with uncovered heads a d revereutial hearts to do honor to 4 , their memory ; 'to recall their deeds, refresh our spirit5vand re-invigorate our purposes, by draughts from the clear spring of their simple and noble exam ple. And who were these men, this untitled nobility of homespun? It was not amid the blaie" of trumpets . "or surrounded by the pomp and circum stance of wealth and. power, that the grave and deliberate action of the men of the county of Mecklenburg was taken 107 years ago. The importance Of the step lay tiu the. great pr inc iple of politi cal liberty which it asserted,' and its success was dui to the steady force of conscientious conviction which animat ed the men who proclarmed- it, and which dignifies i their memories for all time. I. In May. 1775, Charlotte was a very small town, in fact a little village of twenty small dwelling houses, surround ed by the scattered habitations of an agricultural' and pastoral community . Charlotte bad oeen chosen as -tbe seat of the Presbyterian College which the Legislature of Wortn tjarulina had chartered, but which charter the King bad. disallowed. It was the centre, of culture of that part of the province, and Eohiaim Brevard, the draughtsman of the Declaration" bad been educated at Princeton, New Jersey. The men who led that colony to America Lad evidently read and profit of my Lord Bacon, ed by the warning when in his essay on "Plantations- Jie had told them . "It is a shameful and unblessed thing to take the scum of evil and wicked and degraded men to be the people with whom yeu plant ; and Dot only so. but it spoileth the plantation, and they ever live like' rogues aod not Tall to work. but be lazy and do mischief and spend of the Mind is the ortty " r p-v -: HAY victuals, and be quickly weary, an?d then certify over la tbefr country to th discredit of the pUnutlea r j v f j . $uch as these were urjkoowo- in settleoien ti Probably noj an indiVidua I ampn those iahabitanta-liut who vas compelled to rely in greater or Icss'de gree upon manual labor for jkU support, and iu rural siraplicitj : .

"It 'was on the l6thof December, 17- 7S. that the I famous "tea party'' c f Boston took place ; which according to New England chroniclers would seen! the great revolutionary landmark of. spirited popular '.uprising- against ty ranny. The lustre of this event is so brilliant in their minds as to pale the ineffectual fires of the struggling cola. nists elsewhere. - But let it not be forgotten that more than eight years prior to that date, early in 1765, when Hit Majesty's sloop of war -Defiance" arrived, in Cape Fear River having on board stamped peper for use in this colony, that a body of cit'izeu. beaded by Col.
