led by Abraham Alexander, chairman, APP
pended their signatures to the document.
A few days later Capt. James Jack of
Charlotte was dispatched with the account
OF the proceedings to the Continental
Congress at Philadelphia. According
to the Charlotte version the Presi-
dent of the Congress returned a po-
lite answer 10 the address which accom-
panied the resolutions, in which he high
ly approved of the measures adopted by
the delegates of Mecklenburg but deem
ed the subject premature, to be laid be-
fore Congress" A this identical time
Congress was preparing a petition to the
King. which was signed by every member
on July S. 1775 stating in part we
have not raised armies with the ambi-
tious design of separating from Great
Britain and establishing Independent
states.

of Independence is not now in existence.
