PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Phila., April 1, 1775.
* American Revolutionary War era
* Charleston, South Carolina tensions with England
Most of the front page is taken up with a report of the political discussions in "Charlestown" (Charleston, South Carolina), mentioning those who were elected in Provincial Congress. Among the various items at the meeting reported here is: "They read & approved of the American Bill of rights, as framed by the Continental Congress. They read, debated on, and approved, the Association entered into by the said Congress. But there was a hard struggle to get a vote passed..." and ending with: "...Henry Middleton, Thomas Lynch, Christopher Garden, John Rutledge, and Edward Rutledge, Esqrs. to represent this colony at the ensuing Continental Congress to be held at Philadelphia, or elsewhere, in May next, or sooner, with full power to concert, agree upon...shall appear to be necessary for recovering and establishing American Rights and Liberties, and restoring harmony between Great Britain and her colonies. They passed a vote of thanks to all the worthy and patriotic members of the late Continental congress for their wise & spirited exertions in behalf of American Liberty." and a bit more.
Page 2 has an address signed by Charles Pickney of South Carolina, which takes about two-thirds of a column.
Beginning on page 2 and concluding on page 3 is an "Association" passed by the Georgia Deputies assembled at Savannah, on the 18th of March. The Association, which the Deputies "subscribed" to on the 23rd of March, begins with: "Whereas a non-importation, non-consumption, and no-exportation agreement ,faithfully adhered to, will probably prove the most speedy, effectual, and peaceable measure, to obtain redress of American grievances, We do therefore...firmly agree and associate, under the sacred ties of virtue, honor and lover of our country, as follows..." Hereafter are twelve conditions comprising the Association.
Reports from South Carolina continue on the back page as well, with one item noting: "The same evening arrived, in the Rebellion Road, the ship Katherine of Bristol, Capt. Fraser, with three hundred slaves from Angola...".
Complete in 4 pages, some scattered, light foxing, generally in very nice, clean condition. Measures about 8 by 10 inches.
