number Ut the cltlZeDs oil Howard county
assembled at the Old Methodist Church, in
the city of Glasgow, on Saturday. the 2lst
inst, when A. w. Roper was called to the
Chair, and w. Granville Feazel appointed
Secretary.
At the request of the Chair, DIR. Cock
Grill explained the object of the meeting.
Col. Mccall, of Texas, being present,
upon invitation, addressed the meeting, in a
very forcible manner; laying bare the h.
pocrlsy of northern aboltionists, and de-
Tending the South and her institutions, with
an carnestness of manner that secured for
him the fixed attention Of the AUDIENCE
After discussing the Slavery question, he
alluded to the American movement--said
he was something of Know Nothing
that the American Platform was National
in IFS Observation-Disclosures all the South
could ask, and urged Southern men TO unite
upon it, as the best means Of preserving
their interests, and the Union.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr..
Green submitted 10 the consideration of the
house the following resolutions:
/. That the resolutions adopted by the Con-
vention recently assembled at Lexington, in this
State, meet with our cordial appreciation.
.. That we recommend to slave owners greater
vigilence, and more watchfulness over the conduct
of their slaves, and dsapprovc of the practice of
negroes preaching.
3. That Kansas having proclaimed herself in
favor Of the institution of STRENGTHENING chosen
pro-slavery Legislature, which is now in session,
enacting laws for the protection of slave proper
ty, we join her citizens and the people of the
South, in heartfelt congratulations at the result.
4. That in view Of the excitement that has at
tended the recent contest, which resulted so sat-
isfactorily TO the South, we recommend modera-
tion and forbearance, with no cessation of viei.
lencc, 10 our citizens; and see no good results
likely to flow from frequent public meetings,
where the subject of slavery is discussed but
on the contrary, believe the negroes obtain partial
impressions of the objects of such meetings, lea
ding to discomfort and characterization on their
part.
5. That we recommend extra watchfulness OIL
the part of the public patrol and vigilence com.
mittees not only as TO slaves, but also 70 person:
disposed TO tampcr or deal with them.
The motion upon which these resolutions
were depending, was here intercepted by q
motion of DR.. Cockerll, who offered and
advocated the adoption of the subjoined pre-.
amble and resolutions, as substitutes:
WHEREAS, A long and continued course Of ag'
gression on the part of the North in abducting
our slave property--in violating the Constitu.
ton, and laws of Congress, by resisting theiI
recIamation-in sending abolition cmissaries in
our midst TO preach crusade against our insti
tutions, thereby poisoning the minds and cor.
rupting the morals of our slaves-in rendering
our slave property contraband when passln.
through their Statcs--in multiplying the laws o.
Congress by refusing the use of their iails-ir
rendering it pcnitentiary offence for any citi
zen or lawyer to aid in reclamation of slaves
in resisting the execution CT the laws--in many
cases, numbering masters and Government Off
GERS, therefore, Resolved,
/. That we will no longer submit TO thcs
wrongs, be the consequences what they may.
.. That we adore the Union of these States, an,
that we will defend it at oil hazards, consistcn
with our constitutional and personal rights; Blu
when these are set at defiance, and wrongs con
stantly inflicted for which we have no redress
then the Union is of little value.
3. That we will maintain the Constitution ant
Laws in all cases where the laws furnish AN ade
quate remedy; but when abolition incendiares in
fest our community, tampering with our slaves
sowing the seeds Of discord among them, and We
evading the laws, we will visit summary punish
ment upon them.
4. That our legislature, if they can do it consti
tutonally, should pass retaiating laws, so as f
affect the property of all those States that hay
injured ours, by practically multiplying the fugtiv
| slave law.
>. That we believe if all the Southern State
will thus act, it will be the means, and probabl
the only means, that will bring Northern fanatic
10 their senses, and induce them 10 do us justice
and thereby secure the stability of this Union.

ambe and resolutions of Dr.. Cockerill
with the first resolution of Green added, b
adopted.
Mr.. Aldridge then moved that both set
of resolutions be laid on the table, ard tina
