Resotcal, That we approve the course pursued by
our representative from this Congressional district
the Hon. Warren WinslOw-that he, together with
Messrs. Craige, Ruffin, Branch and Clinsman, re-
representatives. from North Carolina, have, by their

the breeze, bearing on its broad and ample folds the
inscription. 1.-The Union as it was framed by the
sircS of '7G," with every assurance that victory will
be ours.'
The Carolinian says:
Seen John Winsow, who had, until the late Con.
gressona election acted in opposition to the demo.
cratic party, being called on stated that he was not
prepared to make any lengthy remarks but avowed
his determination to act with the Democrat party
whose leader had the boldness to proclaim such ma
tional sentiments contained in the late Mes
sage of Franklin Pierce.
Abundant indications were afforded on this occa-
sion that the democratic party of this section will be
prepared to make a firm and united stand against
their opponents during the ensuing canpagns with
determination to triumph.
AS we said two months ago, give US Pierce and
Dobbin for our leaders, and victory will be certain to
SUPREME COURT.
