NEW-YORK OR, GENERALE Opening Ceremonies on In- dependence Square. | 1 i) RAISING THE NATIONAL ‘BANNER, | Patriotic Addresses by Represent- ative North Carolinians. CAROLINA PARK RACES. Processions, Speeches, a Barbecue and Grand Wumination for To-Day, OARLOTTE, N. C., May 19, 1875, The ceremonies attending the ceijebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of laaependence commenced at noon to-day by the raising of the national flag on Inde- | dependence square, For some days past excava- | tions have been in progress, designed to receive the towering flagstaffs, trom the top of which now float the banner whose adoption followed upon | that tremendous series of events which, in the Opinion of most North Carolinians, found thetr foception here, now one “hundred years @go. ‘These staffs are of the original growth of North Carolina pine, which, sin+ | gulary enough, never reappears when once felled, | being succeeded by a degenerate species contain- i ing more albumen and without the durability | Fesulting from the pitch bearing qualities which @istinguisn the “Jarge leai” or “heart”? pine. Tne | trees selected for the patriotic purpose of the og. | Casion came from the distant virgin forests | Biaden county, in the east, and are very tall and Blender, An audience Bumbering tnou- | Sands of people of all ages and sexes were in at- | tendance, «nd as the starry emblem floated to the breeze an !mmense shout went up trom the multi- tude, indicating the love which, in despite of the | disastrous results of the late war, still lingers in | the oreasis of the “Tar Heels’ for the old flag. | THE OPENING ADDRESS | | | | | | ‘was delivered by Colonel William Jonnston, Mayor, aud Chairman of the Centennial Association, who relerred in glowing terms to the patriotic im- pulses of our ancestors which prompted them to dare all and do all rather than submit to the | tyrauny of the mother coyatry. He was followed.) by Governor Brogden in @giowing speech of half | Qn hour's duration, at the conciusion of which a | malate of thirty-eight guns was fired in the sub- urbs, ‘There was, perhaps, nothing particularly new in the speeches, There were occasional references to the proud bird which from her eyrie screams a Welcome anda God-speed to the rising and the Setting sun; an allusion to the starry banner and the march of empire, which sounded familtar, and | yet they were received with tremendous enthusi- | 9m, perhaps the more from the fact that a fair Proportion of tnose present but a few short years | since Were singing with equal cnthusiasm and a | @ercer determination, | ‘the Star Spangled Banner no longer shail wave. But ail thoughts of that sad time were drownea fn the Lethe of Revolutionary reminiscences. THE DISPUTED QUESTION, | too, was for the nonce definitely settled. Youcould Mot find one supporter of the resolutions of the Bist as against the declaration of the 20th, Bands of music were in attendance at various points, and the national airs. were played at 1n- tervals auring the ceremonies, The day was un- exceptionally fine, and the flag raising being over, the crowd almost en masse proceeded to Carolina: Park to witness THE RACES Bet down as a part of the sestivities of the day and announced to take piace at two o’ciock P. M. The fret race,a dasb, three-quarters of a mile, ‘Was won by Barton & Midinger'’s Firat Chance. Time, 1:19. second race, mile heats, pest two im three, ‘was won vy Mary Long, owned by United States Senator Ransom, in two straight heats. Time, 14844, 149%. In the ‘third race—halfmile dash—there were five entries. The first heat was won | by Letitia H. (time, 5134 seconds); second | ‘won by Barton & Midinger’s Onarley Chi ham (time, 5234 seconds). During this he Letitia BH. fell while coming down the home- — stretch, and Billy and Vandal, Jr., fell over her, injuring tne riders, one of them very seriously. This enabled Cheatham to distance the field and | win the race.

SOUTH-CAROLINA, June 6- ASSOCTAT:LON. Unanimoufly agreed to in the Provincial Congre/i, of South Carolina, on Saturday the 3d of June, 1775. HE aétual Commencement of Hoftili- ties again{t this Continent, by the Bri- tith troops, in the bloody fcene on the 1gth of April laft, near Bofton—the increafe of arbitrary impofitions from a wicked def- potick miniftry, and the dread of inftigated infurreéttions in the Colonies are caufes fuf- ficient to drive an opprefled, people to the ufe of arms: We therefore, the fub{cribers, inhabitants of South Carodna, holding our- felves bound, by that moft fagred of all ob- ligations, the duty of good citizens towards an injured country, and thoroughly con- vinced, that under our prefent difttreffed circumftances, we fhall be juftified before God and Man, in refifting force by force ; DO UNITE ourfelves, under every tie of religion and of honour, and aflociate, asa band in her defence, againft every Foe :— Hereby folemnly engaging that, whenever our Continental or Provincial Councils fhall decree it neceflary, we will go forth, and be ready to facrifice our lives and for- tunes to fecure her freedom and fafety. This obligation to continue in full force until a reconciliation fhall take place between Great Britain and America, upon Conttitu- tional Principles ; an event which we moft ardently defire. And we will hold all thofe perfons inimicable to the Liberty of the Colonies, who fhall refufe to fubfcribe this Affociation. Subferibed by every member prefent, on the 4th day of June, 1775. Certified by Henry Laurens, Prefident, Charlotte- Town, Mecklenburg County, May 31, 1775. | This day the Committee of this County met and paffed the following Refolves: HEREAS by an Addrefs prefented to his Majefty by both Houfes of Par! ent, in February laft, the American colonies are declared to be ina ftate of a€tual rebellion, we conceive, that all laws and commiflions confirmed by, or derived from the authority of the King or Parliament, are annulled and vacated, and the former civil confttution of thefe colonies, for the prefent, wholly fufpended. Rd crignod in fome degree, for the exigencies of this coun- ty, in the present alarming period, we deem it proper and neceflary to pafs the follow- ing Refolves, viz. I, That all commiffions, civil and mili- tary, héretofore granted by the Crown, to be exercifed in thefe colonies, are null and void, and the conftitution of each particu- lar colony wholly fufpended. II, That the Provincial Congrefs of each province, under the direction of the great Continental Congrefs, is invefted with all legiflative and executive powers within their | refpective provinces; and that no other le- | giflative or executive power, does or can exist, at this time, in any of thefe colonies, ILI. As all former laws are now fufpend- ed in this province, and the Congrefs have not yet provided others, we judge it necef- fary for the better prefervation of good or- der to form certain rules and regulations | for the internal government of this county, until laws fhall be provided for us by the Congreis. IV. That the inhabitants of this county do meet on acertain day appointed by this Committee, and having formed themfelves into nine companies ( to wit) eight in the county, and one in the town of Charlotte, do choofe a Colonel and other military offi- cers, who fhall hold and exercife their feve- ral powers by virtue of this choice, and in- dependent of the Crown of Great Britain, | and former conftitution of this province. [Then follows a number of refolves, for the prefervation of peace, and the adminif- tration of juftice; in order to which, pro- per perfons are to be chofen, empowered to hear and determine all matters of contro- verly, or in caies of felony, to commit per- fons conviéted, to clofe confinement; and | to anfwer all the purpofes of regular govern- ment, vill that thall be fettled by the grand Congrefs. Provifion is likewife made for the collection of taxes, to be paid into the hands of the committees, appointment of colleétors, removable at the pleafure of their conftituents, and to indemnify them for the money paid to the committees, The 16th | refolve is, ‘* That whatever perfon thal hereafter receive a commiffion from the Crown, or attempt to exercise any such commiflion heretofore received, fhall be deemed an enemy tohis country ; and upon information to the Captain of the company in which he refides, the company {hall caufe him to be apprehended—and upon proof of the fact, committed to fafe cuftody, till the next fitting of the committee, who hall deal with him as prudence fhall direct.””] A military fpirit pervades all ranks of people here at prefent. Several new com- panies are now forming, and we hear, more are in contemplation. The militia compa- nies, hitherto no ways remarkable for ad- roitnefs in their evolutions, feem to vie with each other in perfecting themfelves in the Manual Exercife. Fune 13. One regiment of horfe and two of foot are immediately to be raifed by or- der of the Provincial Congrefs; the militia will very fhortly be on a moft refpectable footing ; and fuch is the ardour for perfec- tion in martial difcipline, that many gen- tlemen of the firft confequencein this town, as well asthe commonalty, regularly turn out to drill both morning and evening ; even the boys form themfelves into companies, and are really expertin military manceuvres. PHILADELPHIA, Fune 26. We are requefied to publi the following, My Lorp, BEG the favour of your Lordfhip to lay before his Majeity the peculiar embarraflment of my prefent fituation, Your Lordfhip is no ftranger to the con- duct which I have obferved in the unhappy | difputes with our American colonies. The King is too juft and too generous not to believe that the votes I have given in Parliament have been given according to the dictates of my confcience. Whether Ihave erred or not the'courfe of future events muft determine. In the mean time, if I were capable of fuch duplicity, as to be any way concerned in enforcing thofe meaferes of which I have fo publicly and folemnly exprefled my difapprobation, I fhould ill deferve what I am moft ambiti- ous of,obtaining, the efteem and favor- able opinion of my Sovereign. My requeft therefore to your Lordship is this, that after having laid thefe circum- ftances before the King, you will affure his Majefty that he has not a fubjeét who is more ready than I am, with the utmoft cheerfulnefs, to facrifice his life and fortune, in fupport of the fafety, honor and dignity of his Majefty’s crown and perfon, But the yery same principles which have infpired me with thefe unalterable fentiments of duty and affection to his Majefty will not fuffer me to be inftrumental in depriving any part of his people of thofe liberties, which form the beit fecurity for their fidelity and obe- dience to his government. As I cannot, without reproach from my own confcience, confent to bear arms againit my fellow fub- jeéts in America, in what to my weak dif- cernment is not a clear caufe; andas it feems now to be finally refolved, that the 22d regiment is to go upon the American fervice, I defire your Lordfhip to lay me in the moft dutiful manner at his Majefty’s feet, and humbly beg that I may be per- mitted to retire. Your Lordthip will alfo be fo obliging to entreat, that as I wave what the cuftom of the fervice would entitle me to, the right of felling what I bought, 1 may be allowed to retain my rank in the army, that whénever the envy or ambition of foreign powers fhould require it, I may be enabled to ferve his Majefty and my country in that way; in which alone, I can expeét to ferve them with any degree of effect. Your Lordthip will eafily conceive the regret and mortification I feel at being ne- ceffitated to quit the military profeifion, which has been that of my anceflors for many generations, to which I have been bred almoit from my infancy, to which I have devoted the ftudy of my life, and to perfeét myfelf in which, I have fought in- ftruétion and fervice in whatever part of the world they were to be found. I have delayed this to the laft moment, left any wrong conftruétion fhould be given to a conduét which is influenced only by the ureft motives: I complain of nothing, I ie my profeffion, and fhould think it high- ly blameable to quit any courfe of life, in which I might be ufeful to the publie, fo long as my conflitutional principles, and my notions of honour permitted me to con- tinue in it. I have the honour tobe, with great refpedt, Your Lordthip’s moft obedient, And moft humbie fervant, Adelphi Buiidings, EFFINGHAM, il 14, 1775. Lorv BARRINGTON, Secretary at War, Philadelphia, Fune 22, 1775. My Loap, LTHO' I can by no means fub{cribe to the opinion of divers people in the world, that an officer in half pay is to be confidered in the fervice; yet I think ita point of délicacy to pay a deference to this opinion, erroneous and abfurd as itis, I therefore apprife your Lordthip in the moit public and folemn manner, that I do re. nounce my half pay, from the date hereof. Atthe fame time I beg leave to aflure your Lordthip, that whenever it fhall pleafe his Majefty to call me forth to any honourable fervice againft the natural hereditary ene- mies of our country, or in defence of his juit rights and dignity, no man will obey the righteous fummons with more zeal and alacrity than myfelf; but the prefent mea- fures feem tome fo abfolutely fubverfive of the rights and liberties of every individual fubject, fo deftructive to the whole empire at large, and ultimately fo ruinous to his Majeity’s own perfon, dignity and family, that I think myfelf obliged in confcience as a citizen, Englifhman, and foldier of a free ftate,.to exert my utmofttodefeatthem. I moft devoutly pray to Almighty God todi- rect his Majefty into meafures more confo- nant to his intereft and honour, and more conducive to the happinefs and glory of his people. Iam, my Lord, Your moft obedient humble fervant, _ CHARLES LEE. To the Right Honourable Lorv Viscount BARRINGTON, bis Maje/fly’s Secre- tary at War, The following extra&s from a Sermon preached by the late President Davies, to Capt Overton’s Independent Company of Volunteers in Hanover County, in Virgi- nia, August 17, 1775, we bope will be agreeable to our readers, not onty because it contains fentiments fuitable to the pre- Sent times, but becaufe it contains fome- thing which we hope will prove prophetic of the success of the Commander in Chief of the American Army, 6€ & SGOD well knew what a world of degenerate, ambitious and revenge- ful creatures this is; as he knew that inno- cence could not be protected, and liberty fecured, nor the lives of mankind preferved from the lawlefs hands of ambition, avarice and tyranny without the ufe of the fword ; and as he knew this would be the only me- thod to preferve mankind from univerfal flavery, he has formed fome men for this dreadful work, and fired them with a mar- tial {pirit and a glorious love of danger. Such a fpirit, though moft pernicious when un- - governed by the rules of juftice, and bene- volence to mankind, isa public blefling when rightly direéted, Such a fpirit, under God, has often mortified the infolence of tyrants, checked the encroachments of arbitrary power, and delivered enflaved and ruined nations, Itis neceffary in its place, for our fubfiftence in fuch a world as this, a ofthe gentler geniufes among manki q, and it is derived from the fame original. “ Our Continent is like to become the feat of war, and we have no other way of defending our rights and privileges than by the fword. And has God been pleafed to diffufe fome {parks of this martial fire thro’ our country? Ihopehehas.

We begin this page with a fac-simile of the Title Mead, with the Constitation, Scroll and Saper- | scription, and a portion of the printed matter, om the Grst, or front. page of tue New York Journal; or, General Advertiser, issued Thursday, June 29 Tue peculiar scraps of ipformation beneatk the head lines have a special interest at this tima, aod on this account we present them to out readers, Like its contemporary, Rivington’s Journal, tt will be seem, by reference to the accompanying tac-aimile of the title head, that the New Yoru Jonruat contains “the freshest advices both ‘oreign and domestic.” On the first column we have faithfully produeca the market prices oi wheat, Jour, brown bread, West India and New | Kogland ram, beef, salt, pork, tea, chocolate aad beeswax. Rum has advanced tn value consider- abiy since the day the compositor ‘set’ thes@ and New Eagiand will scarcely feel flattered by the announcement that the Puritans produced the ex« hilarating fiuid at two shillings and sixpence (621¢ cents) per bottle, Next we have five years’ time offered for sale by an “indented servant, by trade a weaver.” Time is money, at least so says tbe proverb, and as the good merchants of Mam hattan Isiand appear to he been always alive te tnis Laportant 1act since the ioundation of New Amsterdam, the advertiser doubtless found a read) market. Then, David Woolhaupter announce: bimsel/ as an Instrument maker, in Pair street, op posite St, Paul's church, We are not told whetuer bis mstraments are m al, astronomical, Date tical, musical or inferuai; the readet will taxe his choice.
