Glen to Bedford, 10 October, without date. In North Carolina, no law for collecting quit-rents, had been perfected; and its frugal people, whom their governor reported as wild and barbarous, paid the servants of the crown scantily, and often left them in arrears.

Glen, the governor of South Carolina, proposed a meeting, in Virginia, of all the continental governors, to adjust a quota from each colony, to be employed on the Ohio. The Assembly of this Dominion, observed Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie to H. Sharpe, 3 April, 1754. will not be directed what supplies to grant, and will always be guided by their own free determinations; they would think it an insult on their privileges, that they are so very fond of, to be under any restraint or direction. North Carolina voted twelve thousand pounds of its paper money for the service; yet little good came of it. Maryland accomplished nothing, for it coupled its offers of aid with a diminution of the privileges of the proprietary. H. Sharpe to Lord Baltimore, 2 May, 1754. Same to C. Calvert 29 Nov. 1753. 3 May, 1754. Massachusetts saw the French taking post on its eastern frontier, and holding Crown Point on the northwest.

I cannot prevail with this republican assembly, said Dobbs, of North Carolina, to submit to instructions. If they raise the money, they name the persons for public service.
