house on the 23d day of September, to wit:
samuel McCamant, esq, offered and advo-
Gated the following additional resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That in the opinion of this meet
ing, no merchant of this country ought to pur.
chase any goods wares or merchandise in any
Of the non -saveholding States, until we have
the clearest evidence that the people of those
States intend to respect and regard the just,
legal and constitutional rights of the people OF
the Southern States, in and to their slave pro.
perry"
Resolued, That we approve of and adopt the
the citizens of Baltimore, held the 18th day of
September, 1851, on Monumental square, and
unanimously adopted, to wit:
Resolped, That as far as legal and constitu-
tional means can effect the object, the North
should be made to feel that she can no longer
violate our rights with IMMUNITY. She has grown
rich from the wealth of the South, poured into
her lap by thousand different channels-it ia
legal, it is constitutional, that the South should
cause those streams to cease to flow; it is legal,
it is constitutional that the South should import
for herself, and should no longer send their sons
and daughters, to be educated in community
where Abolitionists and traitors are permitted to
influence public opinion. This is no disuniOn,
but mode Of secession entirely constitutional,
and calculated to have powerful. effect in arous-
ing the people of the North TO proper sense Of
our rights and their duty"
At the request and in answer to resolution
of the Southern Rights Association of Appomat-
