Issued by the representatives of several towns in Grafton County in western New Hampshire who were dismayed by the arbitrary nature of the new state's 5 January 1776 constitution, and refused to accept its authority. "Now is the time, when we may not only act for ourselves, and posterity, freely, and without controul--but we are called upon to do it. . . . We are determined not to spend our blood and treasure, in defending against the chains and fetters that are forged and prepared for us abroad, in order to purchase some of the same kind of our own manufacturing."
