1775, Gov. Martin's speech & Assembly's reply
April 4, 1775 speech of North Carolina Governor Josiah Martin to the General Assembly, and a response from the assembly. The governor provided
typical instructions regarding the governance of the province, but was also critical of the unrest and actions by the Congressional Congress. The
assembly, in response, reiterated that the members were good subjects, but indicated that its citizen were subjected to unconstitutional acts by the British
Parliament and that the Congressional Congress' petition to the King was welcomed and not offensive to him. Attached resolutions of the Assembly
approved of the proceedings of the Continental Congress and thanked the North Carolina delegates for their service. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of
titles originally held by the Department of Archives and History in Raleigh, North Carolina)
