to bciieyo with Thorn, that no such meeting was
held that no such resolutions were adopted. In
short, that tho hccklenbuIe Declaration is a foul

dcrtake the task, we would ask, Does the state,
as a State feel no interest in this matter Whilst
snecrs and tests and insinuations in regard to the
authenticity Of the Mccklcnburg Declaration arc
scattered Gar and wide by the different presses Of
tho country, shall We look silently on, until time
