pUHIlC MEETING IN MECKLENBURG.
An unusually large meeting of the citizens
of Mecklenburg county was held at Boydton on
The l9,h March. William Towns, Esq, was
called 10 the Chair. and William r. Baskerville
Amounted Secretary. The following Preamble
and Resolutions presented by Thomas F. Goote,
ESQ. we're then passed with almost entire una
nimy:
We, the people Of Mecklenburs, in Conven-
ton assembled, without distinction OF party, TO
take into consideration The ways and means best
calculated to repcl the fragrant and alarming 3
sanls recently made upon the rights and lnsti'
,ulions of the South by the representatives 10
Congress from the Northern States. By The
adoption of resolutions calling for the lmme-
diale report Of bills providing for the perpetual
exclusion of slavery from the newly acquired
territories of New Mexico and California, and
for the prohibition Of the slave trade in The
District OF Columbia, do make the following
resolves:
Ist. Resolved, That we cordially approve OF
the resolutions passed by the General Assembly
OF Virginia, in relation 10 the foregoing subjects,
and should il become necessary, (Which God
forbid we pledge ourselves 10 carry them ou.
and 10 defend The principles which they con-
tain at every hazard and 10 the last degree
I'd. Resolved, That the right Of property in
slaves was recognized BY the Constitution, upon
which our Union was, and by which alone il
could have been formed, and by strict obsery-
ance OF which it can only be perpetnaied
Sd. Resolved, That The Territories OF New
Mexico and California were acquired at The
cost of the blood and treasure Of our common
counlry-that under the Federal compact they
are, ard ought TO b., the joint property Of all
the Ststes-that we Of the South, as parties to
,hatcompact, have the same right 10 move into
them with our proper,y-[be that property
what it mayl-that the people OF the North have
TO 90 INTO them with their property land that
invoking the Constitution of our country, this
right We will MAINTAIN and defend, regardless
of consequences.
an Resolved, That the Wilmo, Provso dis
criminales unjus,ly between The people OF The
different sections OF the cOunry-hat IS direct
w al variance with The spri, OF the constitution
under which we live, and We warn The fanatics
and aboIi,ioniss OF The North, that II they, re-
eardless alike OF the compromises OF mai Con
s,itu'Ion and OF us guarantees TO US, shall avail
themselves Of the power OF numbers to force its
provisions upon Us, that sooner than submit, we
will raise our voices Tor dissolution OF our be-
loved Union, and meet all the consequences in
cidenl 10 firm adherence 10 what We conceive
10 be our unalienable rights.
9Th. Resolved, That any interference by Con-
sress with slavery in The District OF Columbia
would be violation OF The rights OF The people
of that dislricr, derived from Inc Implied conui'
tons on which it was granted The Federal Gov
ernment-lhat ii would only be preparatory
step 10 direct attack upon the institutions Of
the Southern Stales and as such should De

The SINGLE DISTRICT SYsTEM.-The Baltimore
Patriot is urging upon the Legislature Of Mary
land the adoption Of the single district system
in electing members of the Legislature. 1t says
whatever else the Legislature of Maryland may do,
this is reform TO which one, in any pert of the
State, could object interfering with the present
portionment of delegates under the constitution. 1t is
a reform for which all may vote" Tie admirable
working of the principle in New York. is indeed
strongly recommending its adoption in other States.
1t secures to every portion of the State representa-
tive. and decided minority in one section of city
or county does not control. nor is it overshadowed
by, the majority in the rest of the city county.
Every interest and every portion of the people have
thus al opportunity Of sending representative to
the Legislature who will reflect their sentiments.
