Early American independence views and legislative steps
Medley of letters and diaries recounting early American sentiments toward independence, with Franklin and Quincy opinions highlighted. The article tracks Virginia and others instructing delegates in 1776 to declare United Colonies free and independent, the July 1776 debate, and the drafting of the Declaration. It notes Mecklenberg and Lexington signals, then shifts to the Hibernia arrival with European news and Irish affairs, plus unrelated notices on fires, awards, and local events.
