A Regular Hoax.

The New York Express of the 9Th inst, contains
the annexed account of meeting said to have been
held in North Carolina. 1t is unnecessary to say
that the Express has been most egregiously hunbug
ged. Ogle county has never been put down in any
map of North Carolina. Those acquainted with a
leading institution of learning in this State WILL no
doubt recognize in the names which Mr.. CLINGMAN
is called upon to identify, strange intermnglng of
professors and boot blacks of white folks and black
folks It is not many months since an equally true
report of Gold mine in Orange county emanated
from the quarter. 1t is strange, however, that
the Express should not have been better informed
than to allow itself to be imposed upon by so trans
parent humbug:
From the New York Express.
| ABoLITIONIsM IN NORTH CARoLINA.-At numer-
Gus meeting of the citizens of Oge county, N c.,
the 18th ult., series of resolutions were adopted
somewhat at variance with the popular voice off in
that quarter, when slavery is spoken of. The 1st
resolution " halls with ioy' the admission of Califor
MIA Nth Constitution prohibiting slavery and slave
traffic within her borders. Number 2 condemns Mr..
Clingman and other of their representatives for
siSttng the Wlnot ProU1So and other kindred meas
ures. Number 3 extends to their brethren of the
Northern States, who have instructed their Senators
to resist the introduction of slavery into the ter
ritories, their warmest sympathies, and earnestly
hope that they will perseVere and succeed in their
GOOD intentions Number comes vigorously down
upon Mr.. Buchanan for conceding to Texas "a great
part of New Mexico for the purpose of establishing
in it domestic slavery" Number frowns down
every attempt to dissolve this glorious Confederacy
and will seek to maintain the Union forever in its
pristine purity" Number solicits the editors Of
all journals, favorable to the of liberty North
!, and South, to copy these proceedings
i We do not ourselves know who were the persons
: who got up addressed this meeting, but perhaps
Mr.. Cingman will be able to identify some of the
following gentlemen, whom he will please hand over
to the professional of the Senator from Mssis
sippi who goes for hanging all the Abolitionsts he
h can find on his side of Mason and Dixons line -:
