Mendon Resolutions First.
Earliest Known Declaration Of Inde'
pendence in America.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Up once
more comes discussion OF the Mecklen-
burg, N. c., Resolutions. since-if they
are genuine--they anticipated the essen
tial parts of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. But. so far as l have seen.
in the present or earlier discussions. not
aware that the Mecklenburg Resolutions
were not the first Of their kind.
The earliest, so far as known, were
adopted at a town meeting in Mendon,
Worcester county. Mass. March /, 1918.
antedating Meckienburg by two years.
There were nineteen resolutions, the
first. second and sixth being:
Resolved. That all men have naturally
an equal right TO life. liberty and prop
erty. Therefore.
Resolved. That all just and lawful gov
~ernment must necessarily originate in the
free consent OF the people.
Resolved. That right to liberty and
property. which are--natural means OF
self-preservation, is absolutely unaliena-
BILE. and can never lawfully be given up
by ourselves or taken from us by others.
II the reader will open the third vol
un1e of the Bryant and Gay History Of
the United States, published by the
Scribners, and turn to page 472. he will
find a facsimile OF the pages of the
Mendon town records on which the nine
teen resolutions are written.
And then there are the so-called suf-
folk Resolutions. adopted at a meeting
in Milton, Mass, September 6. 1774.

at Bunker Hill. These have a strong
resemblance to the Declaration written
by Jefferson In 1875.
Again, similar resolutions were adopted
in Chester county, Pennsylvania, May
81, 1775. the same date as that assigned
to the Mecklenburg document. The his
tory of the last mentioned is given In
a long footnote in the volume already
referred to.
