For weeks, the musical talent of Charlotte have been constantly practicing and preparing for the splendid display of vocal and instru mental music in store for those who attend. The stage will be handsomely ornamented by rich and variegated haraphernalia, and appropriate emblems ; and discoursing of the sweetest strains of melody, interspersed with numerous tableaux and charades, graced with all that is lovely in nature and beautiful in art, will be well calculated to gratify eyery taste, however refined, and please the fancy of all who are spectators.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, U Kaleigb, N. C-, Ipril 22, 1875. j Tlios. W. Dewey, Eq., Secretary Centennial Association, Gharlctte, Mecklenburg County, x.a Dear Sir : -I acknowledge with pleasure the receipt from you of "a special invitation to attend the Centennial celebration of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, in the city of Charlotte, on the 20th of May, 1875.'.' ( , It is peculiarly appropriate and proper to celebrate the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen dence the first made on American soil at the place where that great deed was done. The citizsns of Mecklenburg county first dissolved the political bands, which connect ed them with the mother country, absolved themselves from all allegiance to the British crown, and abjured all political connection with that nation who had wantonly tramp led on their rights and liberties. They first declared themselves a free and independent people, under the control of no power other than that of their God, and the general gov ernment of the Congress, to the mainten ance of which Independence they solmnly pledged to each other their mutual co-operation, their lives, : their fortunes and their most sacred honor, "- ' ' The great principles of Independence and liberty which were declared by the citizens of Mecklenburg one hundred years ago, have' lived .through Jail the vicissitudes and revolutions of time, in peace and war, in sunshine and storm, and they will continue to Btand in all their vitality and strength as a mighty beacon lighting glorious way" to the oppressed of other nations of the earth in their struggles for freedom. This grand Centennial Anniversary calls for manifestations of our joy and gratitude our patriotism and State pride. Let it be re membered that the Mecklenburg Declara tion was more than twelve months in ad vance of our National Declaration of Inde pendence. The Convention which assembled in Char lotte on the 19th of May, and which declar ed Independence on the succeeding 20th, was convoked by Col Thos Polk, and there is indisputable proof of the authenticity of the Declaration then and there adopted. In a letter written by tbe distinguished historian and statesman, George Bancroft, to Geo Swain, dated london, July 4th, 1875. Mr Bancroft states that he had himself seen and read in the British State Paper office in London, the first account, of the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence, sent over to England by Sir James Wright, then Gov ernor of Georgia, in a letter of the 20th of June, 1775. The newspaper thus transmitted is still preserved, and is number 498 of the South Carolina Gazette and County Journal of June 13th, 1775. Let the people assemble at Charlotte on the 20th of May, . and let them remember that they still live in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Allow me to tender to you and those you represent my unfeigned thanks for your kind and complimentary invitation to be present at the Centennial, and to say that I hope to be at Charlotte on that interesting occasion, to participate with the people in doing honor to tbe day and the memory of those who made it historic by their deeds. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, yonr obedient servant- C H BROGDEN. Letter from Judge Thos Settle, GREENSBORO, April 20th, 1875. Mr. Thos. W. Dewey, Sec. Ex. Com. N. C.
