ReSoIred, That this meeting approves the recon-
mendation of the Executive Committee to hold a
Convention in Raleigh the 10Th April to nomi-
nate candidate for Governor. We feel sorry to
lose from the field present able chief magistrate
but live in hope that next Legislature will put
him where he deserves to be-in the L. S. Senate.
Resozced That seventy-iivc delegates be appoint
ed to attend the State Convention at Raleigh and we
pledge ourselves to support the nominee for Gov
ernor knowing that the Convention will select none
but good and true man.
Resolced That we have President that the whole
country rely on with safety, and the South has
great to rejoice at his election, for while he
is at the helm her constitutional rights are secure.
We approve and affirm the National and State Dem
ocratic platforms, well as the inaugural and late
message of President Pierce, and pledge ourselves
to give him all the aid and comfort can i'll carry
ing out the principles of the same.
Resotced, That most cordially approve the
principles of the bill for the organization of Nebraska
and Kansas territories, and sincerely hope the ntu
encc of President Pierce and his friends may be able
to carry it through the House. they have through
the Senate notwithstanding the united opposition of
the wings from the free States.
ResoJced, That Senator Douglas has endeared him
self to the people of the whole nation and especial
ly to the South in so faithfully aiding with his bril-
liant talents to carry the principles of the COM
promise Of 1850. His bill leaves the SUBJ
ject of slavery just where it ought to be left with
the people of each territory, to adopt reject it
the majority may see tit when they form their State
Constitution.

brethren in Robson the holding of Convention in
