THOMAS WILLING was chosen Chairman.
Charles Thomson, Clerk.
Agreed that, in case of any difference in sentiment, the question be determined by the Deputies voting by counties.
The leters from Boston of the 13th of May were then read, and a short account given of the steps taken in consequence thereof, and the measures now pursuing in this and the neighbouring provinces; after which the following resolves were passed .-
Unan. I. That we acknowledge ourselves and the inhabitants of this province, liege subjects of his Majes- ty King George the third, to whom they and we owe and will bear true and faithful allegiance.
Unun. I[. That as the idea of an unconstitutional independence on the parent state is utterly abhorrent to our principles, we view the unhappy differences be- tween Great Britain and the Colonies with the deepest distress and anxiety of mind, as fruitless to her, grievous to us, and destructive of the best interests of both.
Unan. III. That it is therefore our ardent desire, that our antient harmony with the mother-country . should be restored, and a perpetual love and union subsist between us, on the principles of the constitution, and an interchange of good offices, without the least in- fraction of our mutual rights.
Unan. IV. That the inhabitants of these colonies are entitled to the same rights and liberties within these colonies, that the subjects born in England are entitled to within that realm.
Unan. V. That the power assumed by the Parlia-

ment of Great Britain to bind the people of these co- lonies, by statutes, "IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER," is un- constitutional; and therefore the source of these unhap- py differences.
Unan. VI. That the act of Parliament for shutting up the port of Boston is unconstitutional; oppressive to the inhabitants of that town; dangerous to the liberties of the British Colonies; and therefore, that we consider our brethern at Boston as suffering in the common cause of these colonies.
Unan. VII. That the bill for altering the adminis- tration of justice in certain criminal cases within the province of Massachusetts Bay, if passed into an act of Parliament, will be as unconstitutional, oppressive and dangerous as the act above mentioned.
Unan. VIII. That the bill for changing the constitu- tion of the province of Massachusetts Bay, established by charter, and enjoyed since the grant of that charter, if passed into an act of Parliament, will be unconstituti- onal and dangerous in its consequences to the American Colonies.
Unan. IX. That there is an absolute necessity, that a congress of Deputies from the several colonies be im- mediately assembled, to consult together, and form a general plan of conduct to be observed by all the col- onies, for the purposes of procuring relief for our griev- ances, preventing future dissentions, firmly establishing our rights, and restoring harmony between Great Brit- ain and her Colonies on a constitutional foundation.
Unan. X. That, although a suspension of the com- merce of this large trading province, with Great Britain, would greatly distress multitudes of our industrious in- habitants, yet that sacrifice and a much greater we are ready to offer for the preservation of our liberties; but, in tenderness to the people of Great Britain, as well as this country, and in hopes that our just remonstrances will at length reach the ears of our gracious Sovereign, and be no longer treated with contempt by any of our fellow subjests in England, it is our earnsst desire that the congress should first try the gentler mode of stat- ing our grievances, and making a firm and decent claim of redress.
XI. Resolved, by a great majority, That yet notwith- standing, as an unanimity of councils and measures is indespensibly necessary for the common welfare, if the congress shall judge agreements of non-importation and non-exportation expedient, the people of this pro- vince will join with the other principal and neighbour- ing colonies, in such an association of non-importation from and non-exportation to Great Britain, as shall be agreed on at the congress.
XII. Resolved, by a majority, That if any proceedings of the Parliament, of which notice shall be received on this continent, before or at the general Congress, shall render it necessary in the opinion of that Congress, for the colonies to take farther steps than are mentioned in the eleventh resolve; in such case, the inhabitants of this province shall adopt such farther steps, and do all in their power to carry them into execution.
Unan. XIII. That the venders of merchandize of ev- ery kind within this province, ought not to take advan- tage of the resolves relating to non-importation in this province or elswhere; but that they ought to sell their merchandize, which they now have or may hereafter import, at the same rates they have been accustomed to do within three months last past.
Unan. XIV. That the people of this province will break off all trade, commerce or dealing of any kind with any colony on this continent, or with any city or town in such colony, or with any individual in any such colony, city or town, which shall refuse, decline or ne- glect to adopt and carry into execution, such general plan as shall be agreed in the Congress.
Unan. XV. That it is the duty of every member of this Committee to promote, as much as he can, the sub- scription set on foot in the several counties of this pro- vince,for therelief of the distressed inhabitance of Boston.
Unan. XVI. That this Committee give instructions on the present situation of public affairs to their repre- sentatives, who are to meet next week in Assembly, and request them to appoint a proper number of persons to attend a Congress of Deputies from the several col- nies, at such time and place as may be agreed on, to ef- fect one general plan of conduct, for attaining the ninth resolve.
That Jolm Dickinson, Doctor William Smith, Joseph Reed, John Kidd, Elisha Price, William Atlee, James Smith, James Wilson, Daniel Broadhead, John Oakley, and William Scull, be appointed to prepare and bring in a draught of instructions.
The COMMITTEE above named having brought in a draught of INSTRUCTIONS, the same was debated and amended, and being agreed to, were ordered to be signed by the Chairman. On the 21st the COMMITTEE in a body waited on the ASSEMBLY, then sitting, and presented the same.
GENTLEMEN,
The dissentions between Great Britain and her Colo- nies on this continent, commencing about ten years ago, since continually encreasing, and at length grown to such an excess as to involve the latter in deep distress and danger, have excited the good people of this pro- vince to take into their serious consideration the present situation of public affairs.
The inhabitants of the several counties qualified to vote at elections, being assembled on due notice, have appointed us their Deputies; and in consequence there- of, we being in Provincial Committee met, esteem it our indispensable duty, in pursuance of the trust reposed in us, to give you such instruction, as, at this important period, appear to us to be proper.
We, speaking in their names and our own. acknowl- edge ourselves liege subjects of his Majesty King George the third, to whom "we will be faithful and bear true allegiance."
Our judgments and affections attach us, with invio- lable loyalty, to his Majesty's person, family and govern- ment.
We acknowledge the prerogatives of the sovereign, among which are included the great powers of making peace and war, treaties, leagues and alliances binding us-of appointing all officers, except in cases where other provision is made, by grants from the Crown, or laws approved by the Crown-of confirming or annul- ling every act of our Assembly within the allowed time -and of hearing and determining finally, in council, ap- peals from our courts of justice. "The prerogatives are limited,"* as a learned judge observes, "by bounds so certain and notorious, that it is impossible to exceed them, without the consent of the people on the one hand, or without, on the other, a violation of that origi- nal contract, which, in all states implicitly, and in ours most expressly, subsists between the Prince and Sub- ject-For these prerogatives are vested in the Crown for the support of society, and do not intrench any farther on our natural liberties, than is expedient for the main- tenance of our civil."
But it is our misfortune, that we are compelled loud- ly to call your attention to the consideration of another power, totally different in kind-limited, as it is alleged, by no "bounds, "t and "wearing a most dreadful as- pect" with regard to America. We mean the power claimed by Parliament, of right to bind the people of these colonies by statutes, 'IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER' -a power, as we are not, and, from local circumstances, cannot be represented there, utterly subversive of our natural and civil liberties-past events and reason con- vincing us, that there never existed, and never can ex- ist, a state thus subordinate to another, and yet retain- ing the slightest portion of freedom or happiness.
The import of the words above quoted needs no des-

BOSTON PORT BILL.
[APRIL
cant; for the wit of man, as we apprehend, cannot pos- sibly form a more clear, concise, and comprehensive de- finition and sentence of slavery, than these expressions contain.
This power claimed by Great Britain, and the late attempts to exercise it over these Colonies, present to our view two events, one of which must inevitably take place, if she shall continue to insist on her pretensions. Either, the Colonists will sink from the rank of freemen into the class of slaves, overwhelmed with all the mise- ries and vices, proved by the history of mankind to be inseparably annexed to that deplorable condition: Or, if they have sense and virtue enough to exert themselves in striving to avoid this perdition, they must be involved in an opposition dreadful even in contemplation.
Honor, justice and humanity call upon us to hold, and to transmit to our posterity, that liberty, which we re- ceived from our ancestors. It is not our duty to leave wealth to our children: But it is our duty to leave lib- erty to them. No infamy, iniquity, or cruelty, can ex- ceed our own, if we, born and educated in a country of freedom, entitled to its blessings, and knowing their value, pusillanimously deserting the post assigned us by divine Providence, surrender succeeding genera- tionis to a condition of wretchedness, from which no hu- man efforts, in all probability, will be sufficient to ex- tricate them; the experience of all states mournfully de- monstrating to us, that when arbitrary power has been established over them, even the wisest and bravest na- tions, that ever flourished, have, in a few years, degen- erated into abject and wretched vassals.
So alarming are the measures already taken for lay- ing the foundations of a despotic authority of Great Bri- tain over us, and with such artful and incessant vigilance is the plan prosecuted, that unless the present genera- tion can interrupt the work, while it is going forward, can it be imagined, that our children, debilitated by our imprudence and supineness, will be able to over- throw it, when completed? Populous and powerful as these Colonies may grow, they will still find arbitrary domination not only strengthening with their strength, but exceeding, in the swiftness of its progression, as it ever has done, all the artless advantages, that can ac- crue to the governed. These advance with a regularity, which the divine author of our existence has impressed on the laudable pursuits of his creatures: But depotism, unchecked and unbounded by any laws-never satisfi- ed with what has been done, while any thing remains to be done, for the accomplishment of its purposes-confi- ding, and capable ofconfiding, only in the annihilation of all opposition-holds its course with such unabating and destructive rapidity, that the world has become its prey, and at this day, Great Britain and her dominions excepted, there is scarce a spot on the globe inhabited by civilized nations, where the vestiges of freedom are to be observed.
To us therefore it appears, at this alarming period, our duty to God, to our country, to ourselves, and to our posterity, to exert our utmost ability, in promo- ting and establishing harmony between Great Britain and these Colonies, ON A CONSTITUTIONAL FOUNDATION.
For attaining this great and desirable end, we request you to appoint a proper number of persons to attend a Congress of Deputies from the several Colonies, appoin- ted, or to be appointed, by the Representatives of the people of the Colonies respectively in assembly, or con- vention, or by Delegates chosen by the counties gene- rally in the respective colonies and met in Provincial Committee, at such time and place as shall be general- ly agreed on: and that the Deputies from this province- may be induced and encouraged to concur in such mea- sures, as may be devised for the common welfare, we think it proper, particularly to inform, how far, we ap prehend, they will be supported in their conduct by their Constituents.
The assumed parliamentary power of internal legisla- tion, and the power of regulating trade, as of late cxcr-
cised, and designed to be exercised, we are thoroughly convinced, will prove unfailing and plentiful sources of dissentions to the Mother Country and these Colonies, unless some expedients can be adopted to render her secure of receiving from us every emolument, that can in justice and reason be expected, and us secure in our lives, liberties, properties, and an equitable share of commerce.
Mournfully revolving in our minds the calamities, that, arising from these dissentions, will most probably fall on us or our children, we will now lay before you the par- ticular points we request of you to procure, if possible, to be finally decided: and the measures that appear to us most likely to produce such a desirable period of our distresses and dangers. We therefore desire of you --
FIRST-that the Deputies you may appoint, may be instructed by you strenuously to exert themselves, at the ensuing Congress, to obtain a renunciation on the part of Great Britain, of all powers under the statute of the 35 Henry the 8th, chapter the 2d .- Of all powers of in- ternal legislation-of imposing taxes or duties internal or external-and of regulating trade, except with res- pect to any new articles of commerce, which the Colo- nies may hereafter raise, as silk, wine, &c. reserving a right to carry these from one colony to another-a re- peal of all statutes for quartering troops in the Colonies, or subjecting them to any expense on account of such troops-of all statutes imposing duties to be paid in the Colonies, that were passed at the accession of his pre- sent Majesty, or before this time; which ever period shall be judged most adviseable -- of the statutes giving the Courts of Admiralty in the Colonies greater power than Courts of Admiralty have in England-of the sta- tutes of the 5th of George the 2d, chapter the 22d, and of the 23d of George the 2d, chapter the 29th-of the statute for shutting up the port of Boston-and of every other statute particularly affecting the province of Mas- sachusetts-Bay, passed in the last session of Parliament. . In case of obtaining these terms, it is our opinion, that it will be reasonable for the colonies to engage their obedience to the acts of Parliament declared to have force, at this time, in these Colonies, other than those above-mentioned, and to confirm such statutes by acts of the several assemblies. It is also our opinion, that ta- king example from our Mother Country, in abolishing the "Courts of Wards and Liveries, Tenures in capite, and by Knights service and purveyance," it will be reasonable for the Colonies, in case of obtaining the terms before mentioned, to settle a certain annual rev- enue on his Majesty, his heirs and successors, subject to the control of Parliament, and to satisfy all damages done to the East-India Company.
This our idea of settling a revenue, arises from a sense of duty to our Sovereign, and of esteem for our Mother Country. We know and have felt the benefits of a su- bordinate connexion with her. We neither are so stu- pid as to be ignorant of them, nor so unjust as to deny them. We have also experienced the pleasures of grat- itude and love, as well as advantages from that connex- ion. The impressions are not yet erased. We consid- er her circumstances with tender concern. We. have not been wanting, when constitutionally called upon, to assist her to the utmost of our abilities; insomuch that she has judged it reasonable to make us recompenses for our overstrained exertions: And we now think we ought to contribute more than we do, to the alleviation of her burthens.
Whatever may be said of these proposals on either side of the Atlantic, this is not a time, either for timidi- ty or rashness. We perfectly know, that the great cause now agitated, is to be conducted to a happy conclusion, only by that well tempered composition of Counsels, which firmness, prudence, loyalty to our Sovereign, respect to our parent State, and affection to our native country, united must form.
By such a compact, Great Britain will secure every benefit that the Parliamentary wisdom of ages has
247

thought proper to attach to her. From her alone we shall continue to receive manufactures. To her alone we shall continue to carry the vast multitude of enumerated articles of commerce, the exportation of which her poli- cy has thought fit to confine to herself. With such parts of the world only, as she has appointed us to deal, we shall continue to deal; and such commodities only, as she has permitted us to bring from them, we shall con- tinue to bring. The executive and controling powers of the Crown will retain their present full force and ope- ration. We shall contentedly labour for her as affection- ate friends, in time of tranquility; and cheerfully spend for her, as dutiful children, our treasure and our blood, in time of war. She will receive a certain income from us, without the trouble or expense of collecting it- without being constantly disturbed by complaints of grievances, which she cannot justify and will not re- dress. In case of war, or any emergency of distress to her, we shall also be ready and willing to contribute all aids within our power: And we solemnly declare, that on such occasions, if we or our posterity shall refuse, neglect, or decline thus to contribute, it will be a mean and manifest violation of a plain duty, and a weak and wicked desertion of the true interests of this province, which ever have been and must be bound up in the prosperity of our Mother Country. Our union, founded on mutual compacts and mutual benefits, will be indis- soluble, at least more firm, than an union perpetually disturbed by disputed rights, and retorted injuries.
SECONDLY. If all the terms above-mentioned cannot be obtained, it is our opinion, that the measures adopted by the Congress for our relief should never be relinquish- ed or intermitted, until those relating to the troops, -in- ternal legislation, -imposition of taxes or duties hereaf- ter,-the 35th of Henry the 8th. Chapter the 2d .- the extension of Admiralty Courts-the port of Boston and the province of Massachusetts-Bay are obtained. Every modification or qualification of these points, in our judg- ment, should be inadmissible. To obtain them, we think it may be prudent to settle some revenue as above-men- tioned, and to satisfy the East India Company.
