WILLIAM ROACH,
Clerk Of the Council.
Tn compliance with the above Resolutions,
the Citizens are requested to meet on Non
duy next, at ~ o'clock, at the City Hall.
EDWARD w. NORTH, Intendant.
The Charleston Courier of the 9Th instant,
contains an account OF the meeting at tho
City Hall, on Monday, at which committee
consisting of twenty one was appointed. -
The following is the report Of their proceed
ings:
They made an arrangement with the post
master, that no seditlous pamphlets, or other
inecndiary publications, shall be issued or for.
warded from the post office in this city-and
appointed. subcommittee to take proper
measures to effect that object. The prOtnpt
and energetic manner in which the committee
have proceeded: the high character and stand
ing of the gentlemen who compose il, and
the perfect confidence reposed in the entire
cooperation of the post master IN any inca
sure which may concern the safety of the
community SHOULD quiet the apprehension Of
our citizens, and induce every individual to
stituted authority.
! Tn preventing the evil which now threatens
the people Of the south, it should be the OBJ
iect Of our citizens to avoid the adoption Of
violent measures, unless the necessity OF the
case require it. Let the infatuated abolition
lists see, that there is no human prospect Ut
the success Of their unholy schemes. Let tho
American people know, that to counte tenance
the designs of these ruthless violators Of our
vested rights, is but to assist in demoishing
the government of their choice--the fair fab
ric of which every American ia 30 proud
The southern people are united 10 a man on
this question. They will exhibit to their
northern brethren the grand moral spectacle
of an injured and insulted community, rising
mp in their might, and with Il GOODNESS and
delberation that can only be eqnalled by
their determination, warning their advsrsa-
ries Of the danger they provoke, should they
advance another step in this forbidden path
II We repeat, that it becomes necessary for
our citizens to be prudent while they are
prompt; and we confidently believe that Tho
people of the North viii see the necessity of
themselves of interdcting the continuance Of
the nefarious measures of the abotionists.
i The following resolution was unanimously
adopted by the committee of2l-
II Resoircd, That a committee be appointed
to communicate to the citizens, the arrange
ments made with the post master, that no Sc.
ditious pamphlets shall leave his office until
the civil tribunals of the city are informed
upon the subject, and that they be authoriz.
ed in the name and behalf of the citizens Of
Charleston, to accompany the mail from tho
steamboat which is expected to arrive this
night or to-morrow, to the post office, and to
make the necessary arrangements with tho
post master to prevent the distribution of the
seditious pamphlets which may at any time
be received by the mail.
