OECLARA X New Jersey Journal maintains It Geaaluenesa. rpi nm the Camden" west Jersey TPress? May 12. W . . " . . i . It '; Quite a controversy is waging, whether the alleged Declaration of Independence was made or not on the 20th of May, 1 '775 at' -Mecklenburg, North Carolina. AVe think , the weight of evidence is in favor of - its having been made. First. No infer ence unfavorable to this conclusion can be drawn from theT fact 'that no notice of the event appears iu the j mrnals of Congress.. Congress then were sanguine of . reconciliation with, England, and recognition of senti ments in favor of Independence it was theif policy to frown upon as premature and absurd. Second. Neither is the negative testimony of Messrs. J efferson and t ,lvo in 1 8 1 Q that. i Viav aprn iflrnnr. It. of anv such., declaration having 1 it-en made, entitled to any weight iu the settlement of the controversy. For the messenger, Capt. J ames J ack, who brought on the declaration to Congress, says in his certificate, not that he delivered it to Congress, but to Messrs. Caswell and Hooper, member from North Carolina. ' They doubtless communicated on . the sub ject (if at all) . yeiy privately with other members, and so far as appears, A.. cnKmitttfw) ' if f rt - Pnnfrroco Therefore it is not surprising that Messrs. Adams and Jefferson were not informed of the Mecklenburg proceedings. ; : ' , f l Third. There, was another meeting at Mecklenburg, May 31st, 1775, at which resolutions were adopted, of a uiilder type thanJLhose of the 20th of May. There is no dispute-about the fact of the meeting of the 31st of May. But it was pretended this was the only meeting at Mecklenburg, in 1775, at which any resolutions re specting the quarrel with th'e mother country were passed. This ' meeting of the 3lsb of May, possibly, had been called and ' attended "by " those who thought the proceedings of the 20th intemperate, rash and treasonable. Their spirit and tone were moderate and pacific, and countenanced concil , iation and uot war... But it does not appear that these proceedings were forwarded to Congress by a special Bnessenger. And they are equally un noticed in the journals1 of Congress, as the proceedings of the 20ih. v.- Fourth. We have the positive rtatemeut of Mr. Alexander, w ha was chairman of that meeting of the 20th, as to its having been then heldand what its action, -ill is statement is corroborated by the testimony of seven cotemporaries. Now this pos itive testimony is sufficient to refute all the negative testimony which has been nffprfd t r nrnvn I .hat no Rlic.h meeting as that of the 20th of May, 1775, was held nay it is sufficient to remie any amount or negative iesu mony, as one man's testimony to his .having seen a particular occurrence will oHtweigh that of a hundred who 'did not see it. Fifth. The fact of the meeting of 'the 20th of May, being tbns demon strated, there is the same testimony in '.lavor of that meeting having pn claimed a Declaration of Independ ence. But the original copy of the proceedings, kept bv the chairman, Mr. Alexander, having been burned with his house in 1800, be furnished the State of North Carolina with a wp iruiu- iaeinorYif ,xu vuai uiv the phraseblogyof parts ' of one or two sentences is identical with that of. the declaration oUlllfciMrjM lerson denounced thev meeting of the uth of Mav, 1775, as spurious be cause lie had never before heard of it. ad because he did not believe it pos Bible that the : coincidence of Dhrase ology, could be ascribed to any other . cause than the fabrication of the dec laration at Mecklenburg. ' It is not at all impossible that Mr. .Alexander in drawing up from mem ory the resolutions of the meeting. nay have used some of the phrase oiogy of the declaration of luclepen dence of 1776. This may be ad rait ted, without the smallest degree in validating orr impeaching his testi- of the 20th of Mav. 1775, and the declaration then made. 3 )nablv a crein thouerh it mav not be a verbatim or entirely correct account .And this nriitA 1 -a 1 : a ?

Murchison, President of the Produce Exchange, the North Carolina Press Association on Thursday, at 12 o'clock, visited the rooms of the. Produce Exchange. - Capt. Murchison; b behalf of the Produce Exchange, made the following -address: Gentlemen of the North Larolma Press : It is my pleasiag duty, in behalf of the Wilmington Produce Exchange, to 'extend to you the privileges of this institution as well as a eordial welcome to our city. We recognize , in you, gentlemen, the power which, to a great extent, forms and controls public opinion, and we believe that with united efforts oa yourpart you can add much to the prosperitv of North Carolina; and make her, what she deserves to be, one of the firet commeicial, manufacturing and agricultural States in the. Union. In this our interests are most assuredly identical, and on our part as merchants of the largest city in the State, we promise to leave noth ing undone to secure a result so desirable. But to do this we must build up the cities and towns of the Stale, and the whole agri cultural and manufacturing interests will receive Hie benefit of their growth. To give our State the position which she is en titled to hold by reason of her productive soil, her diversified productions and her' genial climate, -her products and manufac tures should seek the markets of the world through one of her own seaports. We are glad to bare you among us, so that you can honestly judge for yourselves of the many advantages which Wilmington offers for this purpose, as well as the much greater facilities which she will have in tbe near future. We are also glad to know you per sonally and to exchange views with you about the commercial and railroad interests of tbe State.' You did us the honor yester day to visit our River and Bar, and we trust that you were not disappointed in what you saw, even on a trip so hurried. We believe that when the improvements now going on are completed, we will have sufficient depth of water from Wilmington to the sea to bring in vessels as largo as may be desired, and to load them at our own wharves with out the expei.se of lighterage; and with light port charges we can secure as low rates of freight, both foreign and coast wise, as can our neighbors, either North or South of us. We have now in . process of construction, steam cotton presses that will equal in power and capacity any in the United Stales, and we can offer to the ship per of cotton either a market here or an outlet to the markets of the world, that can not be excelled. Oar commerce has been steadily growing since the close of the war, and on the article of cotton our receipts for this season have increased lover fifty per eent. over any previous season, and ior the comimr season we have every reason to ex pect that the receipts will be more than doubled. Our Naval Stores market is the largest and governs to a great extent all the other markets in the world And we can surely supply North Carolina with groceries on as good terras as they can be had else where. -' Our Rail Road managers are competent and liberal, and they assure us that they will offer every facility in ; their power to make it to tbe interest or our peo ple to patronize this market I need net point out to you. gentlemen, the vast bene fit it would be to tbe whole State to build up one large city within its limits. It would give yon the best, market at ysur very doors, where you could dispose to advan tage or every article that eould be pro duced ; would greatly Increase the value of your lands, and induce emigration to the.State:- - '--e - It is with much regret that we allude to the fact that our last .Leeislature passed some laws which, although aimed, at the monied interests of the State, must injure materially all classes and all industries, and which have already driven out of the btate a large amount of capital, and will doubt less cause a large number of banks and loan associations to discontinue business or else remove their business to other States. It is not difficult to see what will be the effect on a commercial or agricultural community without capital. but we looK to you, gentlemen of the press, to demand an early, repeal of these laws. which, however, honest may. have been the Intentions or the makers, are yet ruinous to every interest in the State. Money, like every other commodity, if leftfree will find its own level, and all that legislation can do is to draw it out of the market' Be lieving that you have the welfare of the Old .North stale at heart, we nope that you will not, allow; either, ignorance or'.dema- goguism to fasten his . odious law upon us. - Again, gentlemen, I heartily welcome you among the merchants of Wilmington. Col. Jno. D. Cameron, of the Hillsboro Bec&rder, President elect of the Association, introduced Mr. R, M. Furman, of the Asheville OUizerk, who replied in a few well tuned and appropriate remarks to the ad dress of Capt. Murchison., ,, ,, At . the 'close of Mr. Funnan's remarks Maj. J.

Brink . r and L. O. Estes, Defendants . ease', -which has beenlitigated JGar about nine years, and which has attracted considerable attention from the public, was brought to trial the second week of our Su perior Court : The case had been previously tried iu the eounty of Davidson, but the' jury failing to agree, a mistrial was order ed, and the case removed, upon the affidavit of the plaintiff, to Rowan county. A large .number of witnesses were examined.on each siae, ana inree days consumed, in tne inves tigation and trial of the case. The testi mony developed the fact that the store house of the plaintiff, which was then occupied by the defendants, as merchants, caught fire from the Court House, and its proximity to the latter building rendered all efforts to save it fruitless and unavaiHng.f 's-1 ' During the progress of tbe cause both Penry, the plaintiff, and Brink, one of the defendants, were placed upon the witness stand, and proved tharaselves gentlemen of unexceptionable character. Besides the matter of dollars and cents involved in the controversy, the character ef the defendants was at issue, as one of the allegations of the plaintiff was that the defendants, being in sured J a large amount, 'had maliciously set fire to the store house in the hope of gain. The jury, after the charge -of His Honor, retired but for a few minutes, and returned a verdict forthe defendants, there-; by vin.rVUhg their "characters "and exon erating them from all blame in the premises. There was a distinguished array of legal talent oi .either, side, the. plaintiff being represented by jv MClemment, Esq., F. CiRbbbins, EqTaa49iifepnp, sentatiye in Congress, the Hon. W.'M. Bob bins; and the defendants by the Honi, J. M. Leach, Hon. Barton Craige, and Win. H. B uley, J, Mn McCorkle, and Luke Black mer, Esq. It is not often that we see so many gentlemen of the bar, who have hith erto 'occupied prominent -public positions, engaged in the trial of the same cause." Tbe Press Ball. Our last report of the Press ball' having necessarily been somewhat hurried on ac count of pressure of news matter, we felt that we could not but speak further of an assemblage so brilliant gay and enchanting. To say that the editors did not enjoy it would be to make a great mistake: indeed.' The ball in all respects was considered the most brilliant of the entire season,' and judg ing from the spirit and zest with which the members of the " Press Gang"k engaged in the festivities, they must have borne quite an agreeable and fascinating contrast to their usual occupation of grinding Ont edi torials from a worn and jaded mind and imagination!'
