not known" Is reflection upon US. An eaami-
nation OF the early history Of the Counties Of
North Carolina shows record Of the purest pa
trioiisn and idomi,sble courage. This record il
now covered BY the dust Of age and unknown BY
neglect. II IL debt whirh the present ecners-

one generation are controserted the next. ard
ai succeeding period are considered ms doubt
full legends, unworthy Of historical faith. Our
Mscklenburg Declaration Of Independence. ia

truth.
