Can this be the earliest evidence that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence is Genuine?

See Scott Syfert THE FIRST AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?
(2004), p. 146 and p. 172. This was known by a later quotation, but not from the actual 1809 MINERVA. Now, the 5 May 1875 Raleigh Weekly News refers to this 1809 item. Will having the full 1809 MINERVA text available change any obdurate minds? I worked for almost a week last year on the MecDec because I could not finish the Tryon "Association" article without understanding why Charlotte took all the 19th century attention from Tryon and particularly Halifax. I emerged a believer in the MecDec--this before I knew of Scott Syfert's new book.
