The Mecklenburg convention was
called for May 10. Its original pur-
pose was to pronounce the annulment
of all laws and commissions in conse-
quence of the kings address of Feb
ruary declaring the colonies in n state
of rebellion; and to make provision
for temporary form of government
until Instructions from the provincial
congress regulating the Jurisprudence
of the province shall provide other
wise, or the legislative body of Great
Britain resigns its unjust and nrbi-
trnry pretensions with respect to
America" In this expectation an
elaborate set of resolutions had been
prepared
Discussion OF these resolutions was
interrupted by the arrival of cour-
Ter with the news of Lexington. The
convention reassembled in II fury of
patriotism. 1t seethed and debated
until well into the morning of May ~,
when the quoted paragraphs were
adopted as a preliminary to the regu-
lar business of the convention. 1t
must be admitted that the Mecklen-
burgers did good job. They organ
lied n provisional central government.
They sequestered all public and coun-
ty taxes and all quit rents to the crown
and declared traitors all persons who
should accept new commissions from
the crown or exercise old commissions.
And they formed nine military com
panies for action-when the time
should come.
Curiously enough, this Mecklenburg
Declaration did not become generally
known till 1919, forty-four years later,
and then through publication in the
Raleigh Register. Its publication
caused an enormous stir, and began n
controversy that may be said to be
vet going on, inasmuch as some his
torians still refuse to accept the genu-
ineness of the document In 1919 JEFF
ferson and John Adams were both old
and testy. Adams said, in so many
words, that Jefferson evidently had
pagiarized. jefferson angrily retort.
ed that In his belief the document was
spurious
The controversy over the genuine,
ness of the Mecllenburg Declaration
Immediately became fnst and furious.
North Carolina finally took hand in
it, and in 1881 its legislature ap-
pointed committee of investigation.
This committee reported that the doc
ument was genuine. Accordingly. May
Goth was made state holiday, which
is celebrated as the anniversary OF
the Signing of the Mecklenburg Dec.
laration" In 1898 in Charlotte, was
dedicated monument in commemo-
ration of the signing of the Mecklet,-
burg Declaration.
The historians have been busy all
these years, and little by little the
case of the Mecklenburgers has heen
built up, until now it is generally ac-
cepted.
The contract of government signed
in 1920 in the cabin of the Mayflower
in Massachusetts Bay may be said in
4 sense to be the first Declaration OF
Independence, out of which grew the

habitants of WestmOreland county, held
at Hanna's Town. on May 16, 1915, for
taking into consideration the very
alarming situation of the country occa-
stoned by the dispute with Great Brit
ain. resolved unanimously, that the
parliament of Great Britain by sew
eral late acts has declared the inhabit-
ants of Massachusetts Bay to be in re-
bellion; and the ministry, by endeav-
oring to enforce said acts, has at-
tempted to reduce the said inhabitants
to n more wretched state of slavery
than ever before existed in any coun-
try; not content with thus violating
their constitutional and chartered priv
ileges, they would strip them of their
rights of humanity, exposing their
lives to the wanton and unpunishable
sport of d licentious soldiery and de-
priving them of the very means of sub
sistence.

And, finally, there is the famous So
called "Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence" adopted at Charlotte,
Mecklenburg county, North Carolina.
May 20, 1775, of which the first three
resolutions are as follows:
"Resolved, That whosoever directly

S tion "That these united
colonies are and of right
ought to be- free and independent
states" was introduced in congress
June Z. 1776; that it was adopted July
2. and that the document itself was
not made public until July 5, and was
not signed by the members of congress
until August 2. II was on July 4,
177G. that the vote on the Declara-
tion Itself was taken. and the docu-
inent ordered authenticated and
printed" So the Fourth of July it is
and ever shall be.
Nevertheless. there are other Dec
larntiOns. and some of them. come
pretty near being Declarations of In
dependence, except that they were not
adopted by congress. The truth is
that independence was in the air for
some time before July 4, l776. The
leaders preferred to say that they were
petitioners in arms" even after Lex
ington and Concord and Bunker Hill,
and many of them doubtless had no
determination for independence. But
the people in many localities were ripe
for independence. So IL Is not to be
wondered that some or them made
declarations.
One of the earliest of these Dec
laratlons was that of the people of
Mendon, Mass. March l. 1873. 1t
speaks for itself, and here 1t Is:
THAT all men have naturally an
equal right to life. liberty and prop
crty.
"Thnt all just and lawful govern
ment must originate in the free con-
sent OF the people.
"That the good, happiness and safety
of the people is the great end of civil
government.
"That II principle of self preserva-
tion, being duly planted by the God of
Nature in every human breast, 1t Is
necessary, not only to the well-being
of the Individual, but also to the order
of the universe, as attraction and CO.
hesion are to the preservation of ma
terial bodies and the order of the
natural world.
"That voluntary renunciation of
any power or privileges included in
or necessarily connected with prlnci-
acting counter to the will of the great
Author of Nature, the Supreme Legis-
lator. that right to liberty and prop
erty is absolutely inalenable.
"That the claim of the parliament of
Great Britain to the power of legisla-
tion for the colonies in all cases what
soever is abhorrent to the spirit and
genius of the British Constitution, to
the letter of our charter and to the
most obvious principles of reason and
to the essential natural rights given
us by God Almighty; and, finally,
"That the Introduction of standing
armies In free country in time of
peace, without the consent of the peo-
pie, is II violation of their rights as
free men,"
Then there is the Declaration of the
people of Hanna's Town, May l6, 1875
On that day the men of that portion
of the colony of Pennsylvania lying
west of Laurel Mountain and EN-
braced In the present limits of the
county of Westmoreland, then, and for
