Several county meetings directed their deputies to rescind the former instructions and authorize the Congressional delegates to join with those of the other colonies in declaring Independence. When the Convention met, therefore, on June 21, many of the deputies were prepared for the action about to be taken. Still, the energetic action of the leaders was necessary to bring over many of the halting moderates. Their first work was to write to Congress, requesting the leave of as many of their del...egates as could be spared, and to desire that the questions of Independence, Federation and Foreign Alliance be postponed until their return, which was promised to be as soon as possi ble. Then, while awaiting their attendance, they gave their attention to minor matters. In response to the Charles county meeting, they resolved to determine all questions in future by a majority of members, and not, as heretofore, by a majority of counties ; they decided that the yeas and nays might be taken and entered whenever desired by any member, and they resolved to open their debates 1 For the last six months, the leaders of the movement had been dissemi nating their views in papers and letters.
