resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
We, the citizens of Castor, assembled in Coun-
ty Meeting, to take into consideration the alarming
agitation Of the Slavery question, deem it proper TO
proclaim to the world long and devoted attach
ment to once glorious Union-the enobling
pride inspired by the achievements of the past and
the hopes uniformly cherished of bright and
prosperous futare-and, emulating our santed ances
tors, to pledge Our lifes our fortunes, and onr sa-
cred honors to preserve if possible this dearbought
Republic with all the compromises of the constitu-
ton fsi!y o6serred but if after all concessions,
and efforts to promote harmony, we shall be driv-
en- to resistance we here declare our readiness and
our determination cooperate with all Southern pat
riots, without regard to party, in any wise measure
that may be adopted calculated either to restore the
violated Federal Constitution, or to protect the nsti
tutions of the South, and the country from utter
ruin.
To be prepared for any emergency. let it there
fore be
Resolued, That we will stand ready to cooperate
in an constitutional measure of redress the South
may adopt.
esoired, That if steps not taken to repair the
wrongs inflicted upon the South, by the passage
through Congress OF what has been called the Slave
~ bls the people should seriously consider the pro-
Pety of snpending all business intercourse with the
aggressive fanatics of the North.
The meeting was addressed by B. Shpp and J..
M. Newson.
On motion, the proceedings of the meeting were
ordered to be signed by the Officers, and publish

The Pittsburg Synod Of the Presbyterian Church,
old school, closed its session last week without any
action on the fugitive slave law Severapropositios
had been Introduced which distinctly declared the law
void. as conflicting with the Divine law. But mod
crate counses ultimately prevailed, and the Synod
adjourned without taking dents action, or resolving
unor formal expression of opinion, as to the obli-
ostions of this law on the conscience and conduct Of
citizens with its jurisdiction. J.@.s 49,, -

Unless our Northern people, however, learn to
look upon this Federal Republic in the spirit in which
it is framed, and all the articles of the ho-
ly Of the constitution in good th there is
end of the Union. We can dssociate ourselves
into 81 distinct and, in all respects Independent
ereignties but cannot execute the Constitution
in the parts that suit u.s. and nullfy it in the parts
that dsplease US. The covenant to surrender fu-
gitive slaves is unpopular in the North, but it is
vertheless solemn covenant. If we 10 enjoy the
blessings and the benefits of one Government, and
continue to be people, popularity unpopularity
must be disregarded, and duty must be done. We
trembe more for our country now, as we see the
North shrink away from this painful duty under the
Constitution, than we have trembied over Tex
an State threats. Nashville Conventions, South
Carolina secessions. If the North turns Nullifer,
our republic is wrecked the rock that has dashed
to pieces all others, and 60 down the last wall
of Freedom goes with US.
The slave case in Boston shows that practical
notification exists in that city already The act of
Congress is virtually nuilifed.
Not only is the slave refused to be delivered up,'
but the claimant is put under 900 bonds in SLAM
der suit for calling the slave slave.
II is evident that Boston cannot long nullify the
laws without reciprocal notification elsewhere If
the Constitution and laws be enforced in Bos
ton, they cannot be enforced out of Boston for the
benefit of Boston. Ne,O York Express.

The Mechanics of Fayetteville held meeting on
the 3rd instant, to take into consideration the inter-
ests of the mechanical portion of the community and
Of the State generally. committee of ten was ap-
pointed to take the subject under consideration and
report to an adjourned meeting. North CarOini01.
We think it highly Important and commendable
for mechanics to take their interests in their
hands. This thing has been too long neglected by
Southern Mechanics and the consequence is that they
far behind those of the North in invention and
improvement in the different branches of mechanism.
It isl great folly let petty rivalry in any branch
Of business operate to the suppression of that social
intercourse and unity of effort which, when fully cher
shed is almost certain result in the mutual
tage of all concerned.
We.hope to see the time arrive when Me-
chanics of all trades shall combine assert the dig
nifty of labor when the knowledge and ingenuity oi
each shall be employed for the good of ali. Thus
they would to themselves the respect they de-
serve, and the community from being imposed upor
by bunglers, undertaking to do work at half price
which Master WOrkHen alone are capable of doing
well.
Mechanics of North Carolina, call meetngs-forn
assocaiions-take the management of your interests
into your own hands, and thus assume the position
to which you are entitled. At a crisis like the pres
ent it is highly important you should do so.
