On the 30th April 1819, the Raleigh 1 tiona fl.ni mnnifrtRtoea if ha.vo in our archives the first volume of newspapers published in'Norrh Carolina, in 1764,) aOd the first political pamphlet which is known "to have issued from our press, but! there not 'a single revolutionary paper, pamphlet or bm on our files, with the exception 01 tne laws and journals of, the JBenera! There is probably none in existence, and the copy of the Cape Fear'Mercury transmitted by Governor Martin to Lord Dartmouth and lost from the file in the State paper office, is probably the only revolutionary North Carolina newspaper, any portion of the contents of which it le'now possible to uncertain. We, possess copies la pretty good state of preservation, of all the acts 01 tne uenerai Assembly, passed and printed during the revolution. The pamphlet containing the enactments of tfetober session, 1779, consists of 34 pages, 16 small folio, the remainder in The continued scarcity of naDcr in .1781 and in 1782, compelled the public printer to adopt a similar arrangement. Even writing paper was not al ways at the command of men in high official station. In 1776, General Rutherford entreated the council of Bafetyto hasten a supply of pow der to Rowan to enable him to march 'against the Cherokees, and with it a quire of paper, on which he might write his dispatches.

In 1782, General Butler, of Orange, urges a similar re ouest unfln Governor Burke.t With these lacts Deiore.ns, me aoBence 01 chntomnoraneoua evidenceeither written or printed, in relation to the Mecklenburg Decla ration of Independence, ceases to be matter of 1 have entered into tnese minute de tails, however, not merely lor the purpose 01 explaining the causes of the mystery and obscurity in whichthis remarkable event in our history has hitherto been involved, but to prepare you tor the; tedious ana pams-taiting investigation, upon which we are about to enter. Whilst th war was in progress, the tory lea ders of course communicated only with Governor Martin or his confidential agents, and when it was over, and life no longer upon secrecy, the fear of disgrace was a sufficient motive for silence: For facts and illustrations, then, in relation to this portion of our history, we must turn to unpublished records and manuscripts, here and elsewhere, to contemporaneous publications in the sister States and especially to the records, magazines and newspapers of tho mother country. Many of these sources of information will in due time be opened 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 the general government by Peter Force.J Whother the design in removing Gov. Tryon to New York, was to reward him for the vigor and ability with which he had maintained the royal cause during the commotion occasioned by the stamp act, and the subsequent war with the Regulators, or to make room for a successor better suited to the peculiar condition of thing in North Carolina, the measure was evidently a wise one. Oov.

I ryon was not a tavorite with any considerable portion of the population. He was disliked by the leading men upon the Cape Fear, and was the great object of aversion and dread to the regulators, bov. Martin on the other hand was able to adopt measures of con ciliation, especially by a judicious exercise 0 the pardoning power, and of thfa advantage it will bo seen he availed himself promptly and dexterously. 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 subjects of interesting enquiry, but not we think of very difficult explanation. There was the sympathy produced by the sense of common oppression and suffering, and a common apprehension of future punishment for past offences.

There was the additional tie of deep seated devotion to Prince Edward upon the part of tha 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 18th October, 1770. The series of outrages perpetrated at Hillsborough on the preceding 25th September in audaciously attacking his Majesty's associate justice in the execution of his office and barbarously beating and wounding severai other persons, concludes with an averment of the crowning enormity of "drinking damnation to their lawful sovereign King George and success to the The Regulators, though now arrayed on the side of the King, were nevertheless in opposition to Ashe, Caswell, AVaddell and the other popular leaders whom they encountered at Alamance. A portion, too, of the Highlanders were probably themselves Regulators, and others may have sympathised with them.

A much wider range of country seems to have been under the influence of this political party, than is ordinarily supposed. The spirit which animated it may be tniced in events which occurred about this time in Halifax, Butef and Granville, whtfe it maintained a decided ascendency in Orange, Randolph, Guilford, Surry and the contiguous portion of Rowan. In Anson, from which the present county of Richmond had not then been separated, -the manifestations were about as early and nearly as violent as in Orange. Waightstill Avery, 1he 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, 1769, of Anson Superior Court. Here he became acquainted with Maj.

John Dunn, Col. Samuel Spencer and Capt. Alexander Martin, the first named aprominent tory, and the two latter leading whigs in subsequent times. His diary records the fact that these gentlemen informed him that om the evening previous to his arrival, 1 1th April,) "a set of banditti who styled themselves Regulators brought a large quantity of hickory switches to menace the clerk of the court Col. Spencer; and flogged his This occurrence was nearly 18 months previous to the great Hillsborough riot which called forth the proclamation of Governor How much further the spirit of the party may have been disseminated in the direction of the Scotch settlements, and to what extent the Highlanders had passed the boundaries 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 Regulators, from the Cape Fear to the extreme western settlements bordering on the BJueRidge, within a short time thereafter, is clearly ascertained. Martin's ascendency over both parties is every where manifest. A letter from the Earl of Dartmouth the Governor. dated White Hall, May 3, 1775, reveals the snell which bound the Regulators to the throne. letters of the 26th January and 10th of In March, 1771, John Miller, printer of the Loudon-Even.

tag Poet, was arrested by order of the House of Commons, lor publications regarded as libellous. He was discharged by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London, on the ground that the enter was illegal, and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen were in turn summoned to answer at the bar of the Honse for con tumacy. Among the latter was John Wilkes, the author of tne rauous unci on tne lung, contained lu the Worth Briton. No. 46.

Governor Martin was able and mdetatigable, but evidently credulous and sanguine, lie had persuaded himself, and in due time succeeded in convincing the home government, that the authors of these addresses Spoke the sentiments of a decided majority of the people of the pro vince, no travelled extensively and. mingled freely with the inhabitants of the more populous counties, and especially in the highland set tlements. A very large proportion ot the mo-nied capital, a much more potent intrument 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 claim our attention in a more imposing position.

In Mayl774, Gov. Martin spent ten days in that town on his way to select a summer residence in the county of Bute, and is supposed to have passed a considerable part of the summer there on his return.f He had secret adherents, moreover, in the ranks of the professedly most ardent of the Whigs. Among these may be particularized Farquard Campbell and Thomas Rutherford, men of wealth, character and influence in the county of Cumberland. They were members of the first provincial convention, which met atNewBerne, on ofugust, 1774, and appointed William Hooper, Joseph Hews and Richard Caswell deleeates to tha first Continental Congress. They were members of the 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 Currituck, in withholding his signature, and in holding him up "as the proper object of contempt to this continent." They were members of the first Provincial Congress in August, 1(775, lat Hillsborough, and of the second which met at Aew Berne, 4th April, In 6. On the 12th of that month they voted for the Resolution in structing our delegates in the Continental Congress, to declare Before the meeting of the third Provincial Congress, they were both in confinement at Halifax, as prisoners of war.J Royal governors, like their royal masters, are frequently, in perilous fimes, in situations not the most favorable for the ascertainment of truth, and it is not very surprizing that a gentleman of Governor Martin's temperament, should, from the evidence before him, and the influences by which he was surrounded, have greatly over estimated the strength of the loyalists. With the exception of Georgia, all the English writers of tho day concur; In the opinion that the adherents of the crown were more numerous in North Carolina, than in any other province, and there is ample evidence, that the opinion was confidently entertained by the government in the autumn of 1775, that a respectable naval and military armament sent to the aid of Governor Martin would not merely restore him to his lost authority, but insure the speedy subjugation of all the southern provinces. The selection of an "able and discreet officer," to unite and lead the Highland clans and the Re gulators, became an object of momentous importance and concern. Among the emigrants tothe'Cape Fear, about the close of 1773, was Allan McDonald, of Kings-borough, the husband of the chivalrous Flora.

She was no longer young, but independently of the historic fame which she had even then achieved, was eminently fascinating and attractive. The great ciant of Enzlish literature. T)r Johnson, was her guest in September of that year, occupied the room and slept in the bed which had given shelter and repose to the fugitive Stuart, and there is obviously nq incident in his personal history, to which he referred more frequently "or with greater pride and pleasure. AJ'e have bis assurance, that hqr name will be mentioned in history, and if courage and fidelity be virtues, mentioned with honor. He describes her as a woman of middle stature, soft features and elegant presence, and in a subsequent letter to Airs.

as of "pleasing person and elegant behaviour." He adds, that she and her husband are poor and going to try their fortune in America. She is understood to have married ats4, and must then havd boon about 45 years of Age. Her husband was probably something older. Boswell represents him to have been the beau ideal of a highland chieftain, exhibiting "the graceful mein and manly looks which the popular Scotch song has attributed to that character. He had his tartan plaid thrown about him, a large blue bonnet with a knot of blue ribbonds, like a cockade, and brown coat, of a sort of duffil, and tartan waiscoat with gold buttons and gold button holds, a bluish philibcg and tartan hose.

He had jet black hair, tied behind, and was a large stately man with a steady, sensible, countenance. An only son, born in 1759, accompanied them on their emigration to North Carolina a son in all respects, worthy bf bis lineage and destined to attain celebrity, in arms, letters, and science. High as his pretensions seem to have been however, Allan McDonald was not "the. prudent and discreet officer," selected by General Gage to lead the united bands of Regulators and Towards the close of the year 1775, as we learn from the account of the proceedings of the American Colonists in the Gentleman's Magazine for June 1776, two Scotch officers, Messrs. McDonald and McLeod, passed through New-Berne.

"They were suspected of some sinister designs and questioned by the provincials concerning theirj business. They pretended they were officers jwho were wounded at Banker's Hill, and had left the army with a design to settle among their -i On the 10th day of January, 1776, Governor Martin, from on board bis Majesty's ship Cruiser, in Cape Tear river, issued a proclamation, Am.

8, only son of the celebrated Flora MacDonald, who so materially assisted in the escape of Charles Edward otuart, in 174 was born in 1759. He passed many years in the service of the East India Company; and attained the rank ofCap tain in the corps of engineers on the Bengal establishment. On his return home he was appointed lieuten-ant-colonel of the royal clan-alpine regiment, and commandant of tbe royal Edinburg artillery. But it is as a writer on military tactics and as a man of science that Colonel MacDonald Is especially entitled to oucBoUee. His productions relative to the art of war are chiefly translations from the French, and consist of "The Experienced Officer," "Rules and Regulations for the Field Exercise, and Maooravrea of Infantry," '-Instructions for the coDdnct of Infantry on actual Service," Treatise on Telegraphic Communication, Naval, Military and Political, and in 1816, a "Telegraphic Dictionary" extending tei words, phrases and sentences.

During tha latter period of his lite, he resided at Exeter, where he died, aged 72, in 1831.

The intimation of Got. Martin of a willingness any extremity to arm the slaves against their masters, excited a storm of indignation which drove him from tho Palace to seek shelter under the guns ot Fort Johnston. The allegation of a similar threat, by Capt.

Collet, the commander of the garrison, reduced both of them tn tha nfiisitv of hastcnins to an armed vessel in the river, and tney were scarcely board when the dismantled fortress was reduced to ashes.f The Governor may have supposed that some imposing demonstration oi power necessary to redeem him from the obloquy incident to ignominious flignt. A triumphant res toration to his authority upon tne par citizens of the province, with a squadron oi ni- ty vessels on tHe coast, in tne present numerous and well army commenced by Sir Henry Clinton, he inay well have sup posed, would exert a great moral mnueuw, uu. merely in North Carolina, but throughout the continent.

They were directed to form the forces so raised into companies of oU men eacn, ana to appoint one caDtain. one lieutenant and one ensign to each company. Precisely when, where, and to what extent copies of the proclamation and commission were disseminatod, it is of course impossible now to ascertain.

On the 10th February, 1776, however. John Remolds, of the county of Rowan, made oaM that he had heard these pa ners read in the camn of William Fields, "and that he beard from the officers and men, declared frejy Blunder vherover they went." Rowan was then a frontier county, and the union, it seems, between the. Highlanders and the Regulators vras already teri'oct from the sea-coast to the mountains. Allen McDonald was the first named in the commission, but the manifestoes issued by Don aid McDonald, the first without date, the second on the ma rebruary, reveal the fact that his Excellency, Brigadier General Donald McDonald, is commander of His Majesty's forces for the time being in iorth Carolina, lheso papers, like fthe former, are shown by the same witness to have been read on Tuesday, the 5th of February, in Field's camp: at Dillos, by William Spurgian.t As early as the 24th June of tho last year, in a lettertfrom Fort Johnston, to Lewis Henry DeRosscttft a member of his council. Governor Martin 'had admitted that "nothing but the actual and declajed rebellion of the King's government would-justify the giving encouragement to slaves to revolt against their masters." This actual ancj declared rebellion now existed, and On the second of December, John Hancock, the President of tbsxContinental Congress, noti fied General Washington that Lord Dunmore had erected the royal standard at Norfolk, proclaimed martial law, offered freedom to the negroes, and invited them to join him.

To one hundred aod twenty regular troops, Lord Dun-more joined a number of tories and negroes with his force; lie marched to the Great Bridge in the county of Nansemond, where he on-trenched himself, waiting the success of the emmissaries whom he had sent into the district of Edenton, to tempt the slaves in the northern counties to'seek refuge under the royal standard, with the hdpe of freedom. The Blue Ridge was at this time the dividing line between North Carolina and the Cherokees The tribe was represented by Colonel Drayton as numbering more than 2000 warriors John Stuart was the royal agent and Alexander Cameron his principal deputy. A letter from the latter to General Gage, intercepted in June, 1775, states that Stuart's interest with the Indians was much greater, and that he was more beloved by them, than any other man. The writer remarks, nevertheless, that he had tho vanity to suppose that he could himself head any number he thought proper, whenever called upon in support of his Majesty's Both these persons were Scotchmen, and their names are found among some of the most inferential higblandcra upon the Cape Fear. Before the middle of August, substantial evidenco was afforded that Cameron's was do empty boast, though the storm did not burst upon the frontiers until the 5th June in the following year.

At the time then that Governor Martin issued his Proclamation declaring the existence of an unnatural rebellion within the province, and dispatched his commission to leading niin, in a continuous chain of counties, from Cumberland to Rowan, urging them to erect the royal standard, aud meet him at Brunswick, ou the February, Lord Dunmore was in force upon our northern border Sir Henry Clinton destined totiie chief coftimand with the Mercury, King Fisher, two or three tenders and four companies troops, was on -his way from-New YOrk Lord William Campbell in the Syreu was expected from South. Carolina, and Sir Pe- ter iarKer inaa saaea irom rortsmoutn a squadron of two frigates, eight sloops, a schooner, and a bomb-ketch, with seven regiments of troops on beard, under the command of Lord Coriwallisj The train was laid, and it would seem that (governor Martin had merely to apply the match and kindle a civil, a savage, a servile war from Virginia to South Carolina, from the Atlantic to the Alleganies. Had no unforeseen causes occurred to defeat the operation of this well planned campaign, the early subjugation of North Carolina, and of all the Southern States, would, humanly speaking, see.i. to have been inevitable. But there is a God that ruleth in the affairs of men, Sir Henry Clinton, commander-in-chief, did not clear the capes of Virginia until the 2Gth February.

A six weeks' voyage would have placed Lord Cornwallis upon our shores, by the day appointed for the rendezvous of the Regulators and the Highlanders at Brunswick. But the season was stormy, the voyage a long one, and Admiral Parker did not arrive at the mouth of Capo Fear until the beginning of May. Five years thereafter, in the month of February, 1781, a sudden rise ef the waters, first in the Yadkin and next in the Dan, twice saved the retreating army of Greene from the same Cornwallis. 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 themean time the battle of Moore's creek had been foSight.

It is not my purpose to present even a aketch of thai atlion. Tho pen of English hisjtury has never been guided by an abler or more impartial hand than that of Edmund Burke, and bia brief account, evidently framed from materials, at that time inaccessible to any qne on this side the Atlantic, is the most comprehensive and accurate that has fallen under my observation. ft The consequences of this victory have from causes, rendered I trust sufficiently obvious by the preceding narrative, never been duly appreciated. The State and the nation owe a debt of gratitude toHhe victorious leaders, Caswell, Lil lington and'Moore, which will be more clearly comprehended and deeply felt in subsequent times than at present, Strange to say, even the official accounts, though on tile in the Secretary's office, tave to this day never been printed in the, State; of North Carolina. The brief despatch of Caswell, and a considerable extract from the report of Moors, may bj found in tne fifth volume of the American Archives-JJ But there is no other work, to which I am able to Am.

The entire force! under the command of Caswell and Lillington did hot exceed a thousand militia and minnte men.

Burke states that the roval force was estimated at from 3000 to 1500, and that the latter numDer was aamiweu oy the commanding general after his defeat. Sted-inan, the commissary of Lord Cornwallis, who accompanied him in the campaigns of 1780 and '81, estimates McDonald's force at 1800. Nei ther Caswell nor Lillmgton had seen previous service. McDonald and McLeod were veteran soldiers, had foiight with reputation at Culloden and must from this cause nave had strong Claims upon the admiration and affection of their countrymen. The djreaded claymoro of the high-lander and the Unerring rifle of the mountaineer were in the hands of men thirsting for renown and for vengeance.

Flora McDonald, her husband at itba head of a regiment, and her only son, a lad of seventeen, a captain, is understood to have urged her countrymen to tbe field. Stedmam attributes the fortunes of the day to the extraordinary energy and skill exhibited by the provincial commander and 'great division in the councils of the Allan McDonald, it will be remembered, was the first named in the commission to erect the royal standard, while not only Donald McDonald but 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 the husband of Flora, gave rise to this fatal dissension General MeDonald was not in the but con fined to his bed with dangerous illness at a house 8 miles distant. McLeod, the actual com mander, fell while rushing impetuously at tbe 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 gunp and shot bags, 150 swords and dirks, medicine chests immediately Irom Ln gland, one valued at jUJUU sterling. 16 wagons with complete sets of horses, a box of half Johannes and English guineas amounting to JC15000, and 850 common soldiers, were among the trophies of the field. 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 I lelds of the county of uuiltord, all of them fa miliar as persons authorized to erect the royal standard in tueir respective counties, were anion: the prisoners. The victory was won on the 27th February.

On the 5th March the provincial council com municated Col. Caswell's letter, written the day after the battle to the president of the continental The council, after stating the measures which had been adopted to secure the persons and estates of the ringleaders among the Highlanders and the Regulators, take occasion to assure the continental congress that they have every thing to hope from the vigir lance, skill an activity of the officers and the patriotism and courage exhibited by the men upon this occasaon, that a noble ardor pervaded all classes, insomuch, that, in less than a fortnight, 9,400 men and upwards were embodied and on their march to meet the enemy, and that more might have been raised if it had been The following extract of a letter from a gentleman in North Carolina, dated April 17th, 1770, (probably a misprint for the 7th,) may be found in the 5th vol. 4th series of the American Archives, p. 959. "I arrived here after a tedious journey.

As I came through Virginia, I found the inhabitants desirous to be independent from Britain. However they were willing to submit their opinion on the 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 tor some time past. Gentlemen of the first fortune in the province have marched as common soldiers arid to encourage and give spirit to the men, have footed it the whole time. Lard Cornwallis with seven regi-1 ments is expected to visit us every day.

Clinton is now in Cape Fear with Gov. Martin, who has about forty sail of vessels, armed and unarmed, waiting his arrival. The Highlanders and Regulators are not to be trusted. Gov. Marfan has coaxed a lumber of slaves to leave their masters, ia the bwer parts; every thing base and wicked is practised by him.

These things have wholly changed the temper and disposition of ttje inhabitants, that are friends to liberty all regard or fondness for the King or nation of Britain is gone a total separation is what they want. Independence is the word most used. They ask if it is possible, that any colony after what has passed can wish forage-conciliation The convention have tried to get the opinion of the people at large. I am told that in many counties there was not one-dissenting voico. Four more battallions are directed to be raised which will make six in the province." Within five days from tho expression of these opinions, viz: on the 12th April, the provincial congress resolved unaimously, "that the delegates for this colony in the continental congress be empowered to concur with the delegates of the other colonies in declaring independency and forming foreign alliances." On the fol- lowing day it was that the thanks of this congress be given to Col.

Richard Caswell and the brave tifheers and soldiers under his command, for the very essential service 'by themr rendered this country at the battle of Moore's Creek." Admiral Parker arrived about the 1st of May. On the 5th Sir Henry Clinton issued his proclamation, from on board the PaHas, declaring 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 Cornelius Harnett and Robert Howe.lf On the following Sunday, between two and three o'clock in the morning, 900 troops under tie command of Lord Cornwallis landed upon the plantation of General Howo, 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 the mill, ravaged General Howe's plantation, carriod off a few bullocks and returned to their transports -with 'the loss of two men killed, a prisoner and several wounded. Gov. Martin was received on board the flag ship of the squadron, and this powerful armament, from jvhich so much had been expected, was by the close of the month underway to experience further disappointments aiid more signal disasters in South That the plan of this campaign in all its details had been prepared and suggested by Gov.

Martin may be fairly inferred from the evidence before us. The extent to which he may justly be considered responsible for its failure, it is not in tho present state of our historical information so easy to determine. Why were the Regulators required to traverse the State from the mountains taj the Seaboard and rendezvous with the Highlanders at Brunswick With a strong naval forpe at the mouth of the Cape Fear, the great Central river of the State, Sir Henry Clinton might have advanced into the interior, with an absolute certainty of receiving large accession to his numbers at every stage of his progress, i The Whigs were comparatively numerous on tie Roanoke, i itba Tar and the Souse, and the counties between the Catawba and the Yadkin jwere the most rebellious in America, but there is no doubt that from this Amer.

This gigantic step of the county of Mecklenburg" was proteA by no contemporaneous record, was noticed by no historian of North Carolina, or the adjacent States, and had never until then found its way even into the newspapers.

The living, positive, witnesses who avouched the fact of the declaration, were nume rous and -respectable; but in the absence of written contemporaneous evidence, had there been no subsequent developments, the issue, out of North Carolina, weuld probably have been decided aeainst us. Shortly after the ap- nearanca of the State pamphlet, however. Peter Force discovered in-an English periodical, a 1 proclamation issued by Uov. Martin on board I his Majesty's ship Cruiser, in Cape Fear, on the 8tn August, 1775, from which he copied aud published the following extract And where-as, I have also seen a mo6t infamous publica-' tion in the Cape Fear Mercury, importing to be resolves of 'a set of people, styling themselves a committee for county of Mecklenburg, most traitorously declaring the "entire dissolution of the laws, government and constitution of this 4 country, and setting up a system of rule and 1 regulation, repugnant to the laws, and subver- eive of Ijis Majesty's government, This publication was followed in a ery few months by the discovery in the town of New-Berne, of the proclamation book of Gov. Mar tin, the original record, not only of this, but nil the proclamations lBSued during bis administration.

This book was delivered by the dis coverer, the Rev. Dr, Hawks, to the Governor of the State, and is now among thepublic archives, in the office of the Secretary of State. Shortly subsequent to the discovery of the Tecord referred to, Jared Parks, while engaged in historical investigations in London, found in the State paper office, an original letter from Governor Martin to Lord Dartmouth, dated North Carolina, Fort Johnson, 30th June, 1775," from which he copied the following para- eraph The resolvea of the committee of Mecklenburg, which your Lordship will find in the enclosed newspaper, surpass all the horrid and treasonable publications, that the inflam matory spirits of this continent have yet pro- duced ana your Lordship may depend, its authors and abettors will not escape my notice, whenever my hands are sufficiently strengthened to attempt the recovery of the lost authority of government. A copy of these resolves, I am informed, was sent off by express, to the Con-tress at Philadelphia, as soon as they were passed in-, the committee." Mr. Parks states that 'the newspaper aUaded to, unfortunately, could not be found in the office.

i Got. Martin, on iJs hasty abdication, probably carried with him all the records thatwere Immediately, accessible. There were at that time but two newspapers published in the pro- vince the North Carolina Gazette, at- Iew-Berne, and the Cape Fear Mercurat Wilmington. On the 30th January, 1775, Adam Boyd entered into a contract with the Wilmington committee to resume the publication of the latter, time ago laid and. continue it for a year.

The precise period at. which James Davis discontinued the Gazette, has not been ascertained, but the prospectus of the North Carolina Gazette or Impartial Intellisen- eer and Weekly General Advertiser, the first number of which was published at Mew-Berne on the 29th August, 1783, discloses the fact that no newspaper had been published in North Carolina for several years last rJast."
