t. v- . .nififc fc; r CHAS. R. JOSES, Editor and Proprietor Fre from the doting scruple that fetter oar ' free-bora reason 1 SATURDAY, MAX 31, 1879. 'ii!ViSD top' mrrvi rRiTcn i 'a" 4 In last Tuesday's Obeuver we made a reference to some! extracts from a book written by ; a South Carolinian bearing upon the Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence, which extracts Vere published in the Wilmington Star of the 20th. Having mentioned that we had'mispiaced the -Star ofj the date giv en, its editor kindly sends us a copy, and it will interest our readers if we dwell for a time upon the. facts which we find re-produced, by ou contempora ry. We have never seen a copy of the volume which is quoted.; ' It was the production of Dr. Joseph j Johnson, of Charleston, S. C. It was -published in 1851, wlien its author was a yety: jold man, and is entitled "Traditions and Reminiscences Chiefly of the American Revolution in the South") "-This inter esting work, says our Wilmington 1 Con temporary, has some references to the Mecklenburg Declaration jthat are not without value. The author was old enough in 1782 to remember a visit of some two or three montiu? to Qharlotte in that year. He gives a reminiscence of Col. Thomas Polk, who read the fa mous Declaration on the 20th of May, 1775. He was old enough in 1782 to un derstand Jthe conversations and to re produce some of them many years after wards. We cannot improve upon the Star's comments and deductions, and there fore what follows is copied from it : The author of the book referred to says therein that the notice of the bat tle of Lexington reached Charlotte on the 19th of May, 1775. He says : The inhabitants assembled on the 19th of May appointed a committee to consider and report on the circumstan ces (the battle); and on the 20th the fol lowing declaration was reported, adopt ed, and published,, as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. , , . f He then gives a copy in hand-bill' shape of the Declaration. He distinct ly states, however, that "the original publication of the Mecklenburg Decla ration has not yet been discovered. J. It is not, however, considered lost." This was written between 1840 and 1850. He says the copy he gives "can only be a reprint of the original, &c." His testi mony is, therefore, worth nothing in so far as the question is concerned of the genuineness of the present copy of the Declaration. What he says in other re spects is of value, for he must have heard from those who knew what he relates as true. His visit to Charlotte as early as 1782 brought him in contact, child as he was, with some of the lead ers of those stirring times. Doubtless in the first years succeeding the Revo lution he must have heard much said about the4 Declaration. It was but serv- I H en years after the event. But be this as it riayi; he gives us some explicit testi mony concerning the 20th of May Dec laration. He says: Col. Thomas Polk was the one who convened the meeting of delegates, from t he different companies of his regiment, and he read the Declaration from the .steps of the court house to the people; but it was written by Doctor Ephraim Brevard, one of the secretaries to the convention of delegates.' He says the Declaration contained originally six resolutions, the first three of which were read by Col. "Polk ttm three "that declared the total'separatlon frcm Great Britain.? ? The other; thj&e resoluiiofisHr-thpse that "contain tern-; porry-'prpvisions for self-government ftndifor preserving' Order in their little community'Srere read by J. McKnitt Alexander, the-other secretary - "Dr. Johnson gives the six resolutions entire: He adds: With a foresight highly honorable to the leaders in this revolutionary move ment, this convention adjourned ta ttwtt meet again in ten days, they might be able to reflect coolly on the measures ' adopted-' in the warmth of their patriotic ' feelings, and amend them where apparently, de fective, They met accordingly and adopted the' last series of these resolu tions, and ordered them to be published in the r newspapers for information to , their constituents and fellow patriots ; to be to themselves, also, Ithe source of authority and rule of conduct in the ad ministration of civil concerns, and ad justment of personal difficulties, in their respective jurisdictions.' Dr. Johnson gives the interesting per sonal reference : Another copy of it (those resolutions) was also discovered in the Charleston. " library by myself, touch about-the same lime but little hetore Bancroft, pant ed in Timotytfs Carolina Qazeitk, of the 13th of Junejl773. vA copy of this was taken -and sent to Governor D. L. Swain, the president of that society (Histori cal.) He then gives an exact copy of the reso lutions, as they appear in the Carolina Uazette, the very heading of which furn ishes, conclusive evidence that the meet ing on the 31st of May, 1775, was an adjourned meeting, and the work to be donry as supplementary , to-thatdone on the 20th of May preceding!

It would be a fitting arid praise worthy custom for our people to gather throughout the State- in memory of-the patriots of Mecklenburg who met on the 19th, who proclaimed their inde pendence on the 20th, and who set up a new government o the Slsk of May, 1775. l' Etefy'nefOlc people should glory , jn the achievements of their ancestors. Next 'to love of God there should be love of coimtry. If, as Virgil has somewhere said, the noblest motive is the public good," how much we should revere the memories of those brave and consecrated men vw ho .-gathered at Charlotte and periled -all "their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. TILDES AS." CROW" The Charleston News and Courier is one of those papers which dislike Mr, Tilden very much. It has said many se vere tilings of him, and being reminded by one of the country newspapers of South Carolina that if that gentleman is nominated for the presidency in 1880 "the abusive papers Will have to eat their words' it says : Wi rlrmr. know what other newsnaDers are sroinsr to do about it, but the News and Courier will not. under any possi ble circumstances, recall a single word it has said concerning Mr. Tilden, and in opposition to his nomination. Scep tical newspapers can take a note of this and put the News and Courier on the record. This is dangerous talk. Its direct ten dency is to foster that spirit of so-called " independence " in politics, f rom which the " South has eveiything to fear. Should the Neros and Conner continue its attacks upon Mr. Tilden up to the time of the next Democratic national bonvention, and he should then be nom inated, its subsequent 'support of him would not be worth a snap, for all of its arguments in his behalf could be knocked in the, head by counter-argu- f mentis' 'taken from its own files," This sweet liberty in politics will not do. We have to give and take. Such utter ances as the above are not creditable to a veteran like the News and Courier. It might well advance the claims of its candidate without carrying into Africa its war on any other candidate. We repeat, that if Mr. Tilden is nominated next year, its embarrassment will be complete. South Carolinians, of all people, should be able to take for their motto, "Measures; not men." South Carolinians, of all people, should frown down anything which looks like dis union in the ranks. Mr. Tilden is now in the front rank of candidates for the presidential nomination next year. Kv- ery evil y,or(j spoken or him now is an argument w'hich will be re-produced next year, and used to the advantage of the common enemy. Let us not handi cap ourselves in advance. The Ntws and Con tier lias cut a slick which may break it own head a yf ar from now. We warn the brethren against its pei nicious example. Abuse of Tilder, Thurman, Henricks, Bayard or Han cock can do no good now, and may do great harm hereafter. We all .want to do-the Democratic party somcseryTee jh,18M."-fi't us see to-it that we do not, needleswly-threw-axtajjonr influence in t .'ulvanee. - . ' " Acii iTTAL ok Congressman Hitll.
