We the principle inhabitants of the neighbourhood of pacolet River, beholding with the utmost obhorrence and detestation, the dareing proceedings of those infatuated people, who call themselvs committe men, or Liberty boys, feloneously breaking open the houses of his majesties subjects, and thence carrying away Arms, Ammunition, and other warLike stores; as well as putting their persons in confinement, which proceedings must terminate in the ruin and misery, of the poor deluded people themselvs. In order therefore to shew our attachment to our King and country, we promise goverment, and each other, that we will embody ourselvs at the shortest notice, to Support the rights of the crown, as soon as called by any Legal Authority from thence.
