AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Report was adopted.

G. D. met and opened in due form.
The following Committee Report was
submitted:
Your Committee appointed to take into
consideration so much of the G.. W. P's
report as relates to the death of P. G.. w.
p, S. w. Whiting would submit the fol-
lowing report.
In the death of our distinguished Broth
er, we feel that we have lost one of the
most substantial pillars of the great Tenn
perance Edifce of North Carolina. He
was one of the charter members of Con-
cord Division, No. l, the first Division in
stituted in the State, and from that time
until he was taken from us by death, he
remained devoted member of our Order
and an able, jealous and efficient advocate
of the great principles connected with
the Temperance reformation. In October
1850 he was elected Grand Worthy Patri-
arch, and the period of his administration
was distinguished for the then unpreceden-
ted extension of our principles in every
portion of the State
Nor was it alone as Temperance Re-
former that our departed Brother was dis
tinguished; for he was so richly endowed
with all those rare qualities that adorn hui
manity, that he was the pride and orna-
ment of the social circle. A polished
shaft has been plucked from the quiver Of
humanity, a beautiful column has been
shattered and philanthropy involuntarily
weeps over the beautiful ruin. The State
has lost a devoted patriot, the cause o
temperance has lost one its most efficient
advocates, society has lost one of hel
brightest ornaments and his bereaveC
family, more severely stricken than al
else, has sustained loss for which there i
no recompense, and for which they can on
, ly find consolation in the sublime hope
and aspirations of the christian religion
Therefore be it
4 Resoloed, That in the death of P. G. w. P
S. w. WHITING, we feel that we have los
one of our ablest and best men, and that W
therein recognise the mysterious hand Q
Providence calling upon us in startling tones
"be ye also ready"
Resolred, That as token of our respec
for our departed Brother, the members {
|. the Grand Division will wear theusual badg
of mourning for the space of thirty days.
Resolred, That we sincerely sympathiz
= with the family of Our deceased Brother i
their great and overwhelming bereavement
and that we tender to them assurances
+ our kindest fraternal regard,
Resolced, That the Grand Scribe be dire
g ted to transmit a copy of this preamble ar
= resolutions to the family of the deceased.
Pes0Iged That this renort he nnhlisha
s. with the proceedings Of the Grand Divisio
and that the Raleigh papers and all others
the State so disposed, be requested to co.
the same,

G. B. WETMORE,
RICHARD STERLING,
A. M. GORMAN,
The Grand Scribe submitted the fol
lowing Preamble and Resolution:

WHEREAS, it is the settled conviction of this
Grand Division that the laws of the land should pro-
vide for the protection of the citizens from the evils
arising from the liquor traffic; and whereas we be-
lieve this protection should be lodged, by law, in
the hands of the sovereign People themseves;-
And believing that the blending of the question of
Temperance with partizan squabbles, and by bring
ing it to interfere with the party affiliations of
independent voters, has had effect to prejudice
and embarass cause: And with desire to dis
engage it from all entangling alliances and politi
cal issues, that it may stand upon its intrin
sic merits and appeal, by its own recommendations,
to the countenance and support of all good citizens
of the State, of every party Therefore,
ResolUed, the sense of this Grand Division,
that simply ask of candidates for the Legislature
who may desire votes that they will consent to
vote, if elected, for the passage of law by which
our present license law may be so changed as tc
provide that intoxicating drinks shall not be solo
within the State, in any quantities, except under
license obtained And further providing, that th'
question of " Traffic" No Traffic" be submit
ted, annually, to the voters in each Common Schoo
District in the State i'm those Districts in whic
majority vote " No Traffic." sales of intoxica
ting drinks to be allowed by law, any quantitie,
except for medicine, mechanical or sacraments
purposes, to be provided for by law And in thos
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1855-11-14

RATHER SEvERE.-It is related of a
witty and plain spoken nobleman, that be-
ing condemned to ride some distance
with dull, loquacious fellow, he fell asleep.
The talker did not like this, and tried to
awake his lordship by pulling his sleeve.
'Pry'the, cried my Lord, 'either do not
put me asleep by the talk, or let me rest !;
for it is most unpleasant to be awakened
from slumber that leads one to forget
! present woes

By invitation, Gen. Cary visited Nortl
Carolina and spoke in some twenty Coun

the State; but being unable to remain
longer, at that time, we secured promis
from him that he would visit us again thi
Fall, if possible. We expect he will I'll
this promise next month.
Some few gentlemen have lectured 70
brief periods in their respective counties
and for which we allowed reasonable CON
pensation.

WHAT is LAW LIKE Law is like a
country dance, people are led up and down
in it till they are tired out. Law is like a
book of surgery-there are great many
terrible cases in it. It p like physic too,

fashion, people are bewitched to get into
it; "and like bad weather." most plt
are glad to get out of it.
