We are authorized by the delegation from Onslow
county at the recent District Convention here, to
state that the meeting at Onslow, by which they
were appointed, the subject of an cypress call,
for the purpose of considering the subject of North
ern aggression upon the rights of the South; and
that it was published in every precinct of the coun-
ty for more than two weeks before the meeting as
sembled That the resolutions met with unani-
NOUS approval by the committee appointed to pre-
pare resolutions and that in their opinion the 4h
resolution, as published in the Journal" was that
which was adopted at the meeting.
An attempt was made to smooth it down, so as t.
make it mean nothing, but it proved failure; for
they believe the people whom they represent, to b.
fully prepared to join their Southern brethren, il
any and all necessary for the preservation
of their common honor and safety.
The onslow delegation regard the attempt of thu
Chronicle and its reporters and coadjutors to dimin
sh the force and influence of the action fthe peop
of that county, totally futile and its interference
unauthorized uncaled for and contrary to the wishe
and feelings of the people.

but to feel proud of the steps by which he has risen
