4,It is not probably known to rn any
of our readers that the citizens of
Mecklenburg county, in this- State,
- r. made Declaration of Independence
more than a year before Congress
' ; made theirs. The following docu
menton the subject has lately come
to the hands of the editor from un
questionable auhqrity. and is publish
ed that it may go down to posterity'
The Essex Register of Jnly 24, 1871,
published the declaration from the
Raleigh Register, and expressed some
doubts as to the genuineness of the
resolutions, and hoped the Raleieh
Register would give such proofs as i s
..editor 'Had of their true character.
' Mr.. Gales replied (Aug. 6, 1819,)
that he was ready to give, all sthe' .in
formation in his power and adds, 'we
feel confident after .. we shall have
done so, no longer doubt will remain
. as to .the truth and reality of the
