HUdreth.: We quote ihe words of the New, York journals v In .times past there have been hot disputes between antiquarians aa to the claim of the people of Mecfelenbargco'unty, North Caro lina, that their ancestors, gathered at Char lotte on the 19th and SOth of May, 1775, were the first American citizens to make- a; formal renunciation of their allegiance, to Great Britain; The contested questions may never - be answered to the satisfaction of skeptical historians of other States,1 but itrier now ' generally : admitted that before' the' Revolution began:. the', people of Mecklen-. burg, were; distinguished, for their bold bear ing toward the mother country, and that gn tlte.days .we have named they met and adopted an out-spokea declaration of inde pendence, similar in purport to that signed more than a year af terward by the Conti nental Congressassembled in Philadelphia. It is the centennial of j this Mecklenburg declaration which is to!ibe celebrated with parade, poems, and eratdfy at Charlbfte 1 next month. ( These exercises will , be par ticipated in by thousands of patriotic piK grims from all parts of the.. Union,:, but es pecially from the South. ! An interesting preface to ha celebration will beifoandln the letter of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson of Y irginia,' printed to-day bn our second page. Gen. Johnson gives a picturesque view, of the scene of the gathering of the' Mecklen burg patriots, and a spirited sketch of their early struggles with the Royal Governor- in North Carolina. A. .
