State*. all silent. When Mr. Henry's resolu
tion** far snort of independence, flew like light
ning through every paper, and kindled both
sales of the Atlantic, this flaming declaration
of td * same^date, of the independence of Meck
lenburg county, of North ( arolina. absolving it
from the British allegiance, and abjuring all po
litical connection with that nation, although
pant to Congress, too, is never heard of. it is
not known even a twelvemonth after, when a
•ii-nuar proposition i* first made in that body.—
Armed with this hold example, would not you
have addressed our timid brethren in peals o:
thunder, on their tardy fears7 Would not ev
ery advocate or independence .save rung the
glories of Mecklenburg county, in North Caro
lina, in the ears of the doubting Dickinson and
others, who hung so heavilv ui>on us ? A et the
example of* independent Mecklenburg county,
m North Carolina, was never once quoted.
It was pe^hap*. owing to this array of strong
orasuinplive -testimony against the authenticity
of the North Carolina Declaration, from a man,
too, whose opinion* on the subject were enti
tled to so great consideration, that the public
rni.nl .had pretty generally determined against
its genuineness But the researches of Air.
Bancroft, in the State Paper Office of the British
government, have thrown new light on this in- 1
terest.rii: subject, and will we think have the ef
fect to establish the claim of the old North State,
of having been the first to move in the cause of
colonial independence.
Thu following is the letter of Mr. Bancroft,
with the accompanying remarks of the editor of
the Kaloi<h Standard :
l:te VtcVe'Jj-irg 'Declaration.- -A lew* days
i.;nct*. in the Senate, Mr. Shephard submitted a
.'pon from tho committee to w horn was referred
i:.c communication of the governor, in relation
u» the colonial and revolutionary history of
North Carolina, accompanied by the following
highly interesting ieuer from Mr. Bancroft,
me Auier.can minister at London, to the Hon.
i>av;J L. Swain of this State. The letter is as
follows :
1*0 Eatow Sqvare, London, 4th July, !SN.
Mv 1>kar Sir : I held it of good augury,
that your letter of the 12th of June reached me
by the Hermann, just in time to be answered
this morning.
l ou may b* sure that I have ?r>a:e*l no pains
to discover, in the British State raper Office, a
c jpy of the resolves of the Committee of Meck
lenburg, and with entire success A glance at
the map, will show you that, in those days, the
traffic of that part of North Carolina took a j
southerly direction, and people in Charleston, j
and sometime* even in Savannah, knew what j
wdi going on in “Charlotte iown,” before Go
vernor Martin. The liist account of ‘ tho ex- ;
traordmary resolve* by the people in Charlotte
d own, Mecklenburg county," was sent over to
England, by Sir James VVright, then governor
ot t»corg»?., in >i letter of the 20th of June, 1775
The newspaper thus transmitted i* still preserv
ed. and jk the nutnoer 4Its of the S; »ath Carolina
Gazette an t Country Journal, Tuesday, June
13,17 75. 1 rea l the re«o,ve«. you may "be sure,
with reverence, and immediately obtained a,
copy of them; thinking myself the sole discov
erer. I do not send you the copy, a* it is identi
cally the same with Lie paper which you en
closed to :n* • but i forward to you a transcript of
the entire loiter of Sir James \Vright. The
newspaper scorns to hive reache 1 him after he |
bad mushed h * despatch; for the paragraph re- j
lat e.gt,) p. j- added in his own hand writing, the |
former part of the letter being written by a sec
retary or dark. i
i ha*.e read a great many papers relating to
the regulator#, and arn having copies made of a
large number, ' our own State ought to have
them a1!, and the expense would be for the
State insignificant, if it does not .-end an agent
on purpose. A few hundred dollar would
copy all vou ree l from the State Paper Office t
on ail North Carolina topics. The regulators i
me, on many account*, important. I heir com
plaint* were well founded, and were so ac
knowledged, though their oppressors were only !
no ninaiiy punished. They form the connecting
Luk between resistance to the stamp act ami the
movement oj 1775; and they also played a glo
rious part in taking possession of the Mississip- '
pi vadey. towards which they were carried irre- i
s.*tibly by their love of independence. It is a
mistake :f any have supposed that the regula- j
tor* were cowed down by their defeat at the |
Aliemancs. Like the mammoth, they shook !
the bolt from their brow, and crowed the rnoun- :
tarns. i
I shall always be clad to hear from you, and i
to be of use to yon, or your State.
Very Uub voura.

Messrs. A. B. & I). Sands: Gentlemen:—
Having used and witnessed the effects o; ? your
excellent preparation ot Sarsaparilla on d.herein
persons m various parts ot the Southern coun
try, viz : Virgin;a. Louisiana, lexas and Mexi
co. I feel much pleasure »n stating the high
opinion entertained oi its great medicinal value,
iu ms own case it acted almost li^e achaim,
removing speedily tin enervated state oi the sys
tem. anti exciting in the mo>t agreeable manner,
a tonic and invigorating injiucnee.
Your Sarsaparilla is highly approved and ex
tensively used by the United Stales arms in
Mexico, and my cousin. Gen. Zachaiy fay
lor. ha-1 for the past five \ears been .'ti the habit
of ii'ing it. and recommends the .-ame: he an !
mvself adopted the article at the same time, and
it is now considered an aimo>t indispensable re
quisite in tin* arnru. In conclusion 1 wouid say,
that the better it is known the more highly it
will be prized, and l trust that its health restoi
ing virtues will make it generally known,
throughout the length and breadth our wide
ly extended country. Yours, very respectfully,

tues: and this will not surprise you, when \<>u
are informed I had tried more than titty different
remedies during the past four years, without any
success; but after taking your Sarsaparilla a
tew* weeks, I was obliged at iast to yield to evi
dence. his marvellous specific has not on I\

A. B. & 1>. Sands: Gentlemen -Having been
cured of a severe scrofulous disease by the use
of your celebrated, ami to me invaluable Sar
saparilla, I feel it »o be an incumbent duty
which l owe to my suffering fellow beings to
testify to the means which restored me to health,
under the blessings of Providence, ’after all
other remedies failed. The disease fii>t ap
peared in small p.ir.pies or blisters, which was
attended with violent itching ami burning: these
.-pleading, covered the body, and uniting togeth
er formed large scales and scurf- from which
issued water, and the skin cracking amt burn
ing. blood ami matter combined, making the
distress so great as to deprive me of all rest.
Mi body being covered with a mass oj scurf
and scale* affected my genera! health: which
rapidly failed, and I was obliged to abandon my
business, f was treated bv various physicians,
am! trie! different remedies without receiving
any permanent benefit, i then went into the
New York Hospital ami remained for fourteen
weeks tinder treatment, which produced tmrmo
iary relief. After leaving the hospital the dis
ease returned in a few day*?, and, when given
up by mv friends and despairing of relief from
anv source, f heard of your Sarsapariiia, and
immediately resolved on giving it a trial. The
tii-st bottle relieved me of all the distressing
symptoms, and did more good than all the medi
cine 1 had taken for years be*ore. A continu
ation ot your Sarsaparilla, in combination with
your Suft Rheum Rcmrly applied externally,
effectually removed all the disease, restored me
to inv health,and Iain now aide to attend to
my business.
I would say ton!!, and particularly to my Ger
man countrymen, it you are suffering under
scrofula or any other disease similar to what 1
have been, use the medicine that has been
tried, proved and acknowledged to be all that
is required to bring health to the debilitated
frame. Yours, sincerely.
FREDERICK DICKER,’ Cabinet Maker.
Sands’ Sarsaparilla.—It has ever been a j
prime article ofour medical creed, to recommend J
no advertised medicines, for Ave are opposed to |
them conscientiously and professionally, but j
we feel hound to deviate from this rule, and [
recommend to the suffering the article at the !
head of this notice. The great medical virtues
°t Sarsaparilla, are well known and appreciate*!
by physicians, but the uncertainty of the strength i
of the different preparation* of the root, some
b* ing almost inert, has caused the medicine j
itseif to fall into disrepute. The Messrs. Sands, |
it avouM seem, have succeeded in obtaining a
powerful and uniform preparation of it. \Ye !
have seen an abundance of testimonials to its j
efficacy from the highest authority, and we re
commend it with pleasure.— S*mthern Whip.
The following interesting ca«e is presented,
and the reader invited to it* careful perusal.—
Comment on such evidence is unnecessary.
