A Reviewer of the, Mecklenburg
Declaration.
Wilmington Messenger.
In the October number of the Quar
terly Review of the Southern M. .
Church, there is an article by Rev.
W . M. Leftwich on "The Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence." It is
interesting and fills some eighteen
pages. There is nothing new to one
who has studied the subject, but the
examination is clear and the argu
ment cogent in favor of the fact of a
Declaration.
We are a st ror g believer in the De
claration of the 20th of May, but
there is no copy extant and the one
copy was burned in 1800, when John
McKnitt Alexander's house was burn
ed, as he states himself in the note to
the Declaration printed in the Ral
eigh Register in 1819. That copy was
as he candidly stated, not the origi
nal, but written from memory. Hence
its resemhlanoe to Jefferson's immor
tal production.
Mr, Leftwich's paper is timely and
needed, as it will be read by many
who have not read any of the chief
arguments in its favor. He publish
es the names of the witnesses testify-,
log as to the fact of a Declaration.
Mr. Alexander expressly says his copy
ef the original was burned. The Davie
copy was probably not a copy of the
original Declaration, but of the one
written by Alexander soon after the
fire of 1800 that burned the original.
The witnesses testifying to the part
of a Declaration were competent,
were present, were men of intelli
gence and character.
Mr. Leftwich is mistaken in finding
proof of the 20th May Declaration in
the 31st May Resolves. The latter
grew out no doubt of the meeting of
the 31st, but the Resolves do not show
this.
North Carolina was the first Colony
to instruct its delegates in the Con
tinental Congress to vote for inde
pendence and separation. This was
done i 4th April, 1776, by this State
Mr. Lett witch prints the Resolution
empowering the delegates to so vote.

Knowledge. Knowledge involves
study; study involves drudgery. Only
he who is willing to do drudgery can
he a true student, and only he who is
a true student can make progress or
attainment in knowledge. As a mat
ter of fact, knowledge has practical
value only to the man who is not only
willing to drudge in study, but who
loves to do it. As J. Boyle O'Reilly
has said:
Knowledge is gold to him who can
discern
That he who loves to know must love
to learn."
With the duty on opium at 12.00 a
pound, and with its consumption
steadily increasing, the smuggling
trade in it has become very active
and profitable. It h probable that a
hundred pounds of opinm are smug
gled into the coun. ry to one that goes
through the custom house. In order
to prevent this contraband t rar'e
has been suggested that a cordon of
guards be stationed all along the
Canadian frootier. But v. ho would
watch the guard? The most effec
tivewayto t u p press tbe smuggling
trade would be to make it uuprofita
ble by reducing the excessive duties
on imports to reasonable rates.
