bsrr XeaSay There Was a Orclaratioi.
Ta the Kflllor of Th C .1 RoirrrT.B.
In your irnue of the 13th Inst, you
take ocom'ou to aay, that ia regard to
the letter from Ohio tutting al ut the
monument to the signers of the Reeolu.
tlona of the 81st of May 1773, one of the
most Intelligent and prominent men of
Charlotte told The Ohroiticlk there was
no Mecklenburg Declaration, ways he
can prove that it ia a myth. (1) Two
reasons given: first the alleged declara
tion waa the work of a few men of ed
ucation and prudence, who would not
have dared make suoh a declaration in
the face of King Oeorge. (8) That the
Resolutions are genuine and oreditable.
The imilarity between the alleged
Declaration and the instrument of Ur.
Mr. Jefferson a year later c.jodi-mnfc its
genuinees. (8.) Some fellow got held
or Mr. Jefferson's and wrot" the Me: k
lenburg Declaration from it?
Prominence and intelligence it ap
pears can change the logio of facts, rub
out and annihilate the mint momentous
act of (he revolution. The Rtiuiioi:s
i f tlif 8lt admHlod to be uauuiQe and
highly .v.mjimuled as brnre and patri
c'.ic. WhyV becaiiiio JcfTrann had no
thing at slake in liasoluiioos for lecal
KJvtruiuent. These Uwoiutions boar
oa vbtir Im- the uaniltaable evid no
1 tat there wnj a Declaration prtouediug
tuem, or ere in themselves altogether
sonaeleaa. Ua said few educated and
prudent men would not date to make a
declaration in the face of King Ueorgs,
and these men had ample opportunity
to copy Jeff arson 'a document and claim
it for their own. This is the most out
rageoue aasault upon the character of
the signers of the Declaration we have
ever beard-
Waa tha Resolutions a myth? ia hu
man testimony worth nothina, or ia all
history lieV Is it false that the battle
of Alamance waa fought in Nort h Car
olina in 1758? or that Patrick Henry
icav utterance to me worae give me
liberty or give me death," all in the
(sue of King OeorgeV
We oily prepare to hear that D..
Ephraimjllrevard was a myth because no
monumental shaft, oovered with tnos
of mot than a oonturv'a growth points
out hia last resting p.ace. That Capt.
Jack never carried the declaration to
Philadelphia, but a aeries of resolutions
for local government iu the vicinity of
Charlotte the very quinte enca of ab
surdity. Truly a Daniel cm ojme to
judgment.
Everv man who atirr.ed that Ixtniuul
dnoeuneat bore testimony to the iinl of
