CORRELL. Some History Which is Now Apropos Text of the Declaration. To the Editor of The Tim::s : Apropos of the coming co'.i'hration of the Mecklenburg Deelara; ion of Independence in Charlotte, and as Cabarrus county was then a part of Mecklenburg and is the heir of all the glory that belongs to this historic event, I will give a few farts of his tory bearing on this great patriotic movement. In the spring of 1775. 131 years ago this spring, the leading men of the territory now included in the counties of Mecklenburg and Cabarrus held many meetings to pro test against the oppression of Great Britain. The public sentiment of the times was "that the cause of Boston was the cause of all; that their destinies were indissolubly con nected with those of their eastern fellow-citizens, and that they must either submit to all the impositions which an unprincipled, and to them unrepresented, parliament might im pose, or support their brethren who were doomed to sustain the first shock of that power, which, if suc cessful there, would ultimately over whelm all in the common calamity.' Colonel Thomas I 'oik was request ed by the people to take the matter in hand and formulate some organi zation looking towards the overthrow of the rule of the mother country. Accordingly he issued orders to the captain of every military company in this territory for each company to elect two delegates t go to Char lotte to a meeting, arid for tl,ee delegates to be given fuil power to act in any t:iatter that might be brought up. hi respond to this or der the delegates nl,.t jn Charlotte on the HUh of Ma 17. empower ed with unlimited authority t" act. News was received the same day of the meeting of the battle of Lexing ton of the preceding nioi.th. Abra ham Alexander was elected .hairman of the meet ir. g and J-hn McKnitt Alexander secretary The questions of public interest were -trenuou-ly argued and discussed by the dele gates. They fonnula'ed ; ". set of by-laws to govern tho'r pro ceedings. The meeting .!, f.tru d all through the : -l Ma and at 2 o'clock a. m May L'oth. the convention unar.imoady adopted the celebrated Mecklenburg 1 v!aru:iwi: of Independence which follow.-.. I Resolved. That whoever direct!;, or indirectly abetted, or m an wa. form or manner, countenanced tne unchartered and dangerous invasion of our rights, as claimed 1 y wat Britain, is an enemy to this country. America, and to the inherent and in alienable rights of man. Resolved, That we, the citizen.- of j Mecklenburg county, do hereby .'.is-. solve the political honds.-which have j connected us to the mother country, j and here absolve ourselves from a!'.; allegiance to the British crown, and adjure all political connection, eon- j tract, or association, with that :.a- j tion, who have wantonlv train;!.-i i on our rights and liberties, and mhu- j manly shed the bood of American patriots at Lexington. Resolved, That we do hereby de clare ourselves a free, independent people, are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign and self-gov erning asso ciation, under the control of no power other than that of our Cod and the general government of the Congress; to the maintenance of w hich inde pendence we solemnly pledge io each other our mutual co-operation, our lives, our fortunes and our most sa cred honor. Resolved, That we r.ew a.-kr.owd-edge the existence arid control of no law or legal oflicer, civil or military, within this country. We do hereby ordain and adopt as a rule of life, all, each, and every one of our former laws, wherein, nevertheless, the crown of Great Britain never can be considered as holding rights, privi leges, immunities, or authority therein. Resolved, That V is further de creed that all, each and every mili tary officer in this c unty is hereby reinstated in his fo:mer command and authority, he acting conforma bly to these regulations. And that every member present, of this dele gation, shall henceforth be a civil officer, namely, a justice of the peace, in the character of a "committee man," to issue process, hear and de termine all matters of controversy, according to said adopted laws, and to preserve peace, union and har mony in said county, and to use every exertion to spread the love of coun try and fire of freedom throughout America, until a more general and organized government be established in this province. The following were the delegates present ; Col. Thomas Polk, Ephraim Brevard, Hezekiahiy, Balch, John Bhifer. James IfcT V. 'William Ken non, John f ro!v2tichard Barry. Henry Downs, Bfrza Alexander, William Graham, John Queary, Abra ham Alexander, John McKnitt Alex ander, Hezekiah Alexander, Ada-v Alexander. Charles Alexander, Zach eus Wilson. Sr., Waierhtsell Averv. Benjamin I'atton, Matthew McClure, Will Morrison, Bcjiert Irvin, John Flenniken, David?se and Richard Harris. Sr. They then elected a standing committee of safety and a committee to draft a fuller and more elaborate statement of their declara tion of independence. The conven tion then adjourned. In a few days a number of the same delegates met in Charlotte when they deputized (.'apt. James Jack, of Charlotte, to go to Philadelphia with a copy of tne re-olutions and with a special ter addressed to our representa tives there, viz., Richard Caswell. William Hoojvr and Joseph Howes, begging them to use all the influence possible to have their proceedings approved by Congress, then in ses sion. Captain Jack returned and reported that the members of Con gress privately endorsed the proceed ings, but that they deemed it injudi cious just then to publicly proclaim A NUPTIAL TANGLE.

Tho "pposition to the construction iiuiraiiuini.ed roads usually comes from a feel ins: - of contervaUsm ah at taxes. Taxes are generally horn y enough, and it is no wonder ' ..' ; ulo have a few ling; of pr- - ti n to anything that means higher I taxes. In the case of good roads, I I'.iiwevcr, the high tax lies in not j ha. ing good roads. There is more: r.ionoy spont in a year, in the shape ' !' wear arid tear on live stock, wear ; a'. 1 tear of vehicles and harness. than any tax could be which is no vssary to procure a good road.1 Aside from the fact that there is1 already greater actual loss in a year than tlie tax mney for good roads; wo i.d amount to, with bad roads the business is handicapped and people fail to make money which would be far in excess of what might be necessary to pay the taxes on good roads. In other words, bad roads tail a double tax. One is the damage to vehicles, harness, live stock, and the other is a loss of business because of the inability to get from place to place.

Karly in the morning after the weuMinif the voung- woman repaired to the home of the bride's parents. I'o the darky who opened the door she said : "I have called to get some of the details of the wedding." An expression of intense regret came to the dusky countenance of the servant.
