EDWARD CANTwELL, EsQ.-The citizens of Meek
lenburg on Saturday last were eiited by two speech
es from Edward Cantwell, Esq, of Raleigh. lie
spoke about hour and half at and at night
above an hour.
He reviewed the history of territorial acquisition
by this country and the rise and progress of Sec
tional agitation. The South had been denounced by
northern for annexing territory to the Union
and thus bringing about the agitation of the slavery
question. But Mr.. G. showed that Louisiana and
Florida were acquired more by the votes and in
fuence of northern men than by southern ones
that the northern people favored those acquisitions
for pecunary purposes, but when their avarcious
schemes failed they changed their course especially
after they found it was Strengthening southern in
terestS.
Mr.. Cantwell alluded to the fact that at one time
many southern people disposed to think sa-
very an evil, all injury to our section, and even lis
tened to northern lecturers the subject of gradual
emancipation, but he thanked the abolitonists for
setting southerners right on this matter-wth all
their meanness they had done good thing by
causing the people to guard their interests with
more jealous eye. He regarded the present
important crisis. The question is not about tariff,
bank, and such things, but it is whether the Union
shall be dissolved or preserved. He loved the Union
and was for staying in it as long could consis
tently, but if were to be degraded and deprived
of our rights, he was for separation. The South
could live independent of the North, and would have
to do it if our constitutional privileges not
pected in the future better than they had been in
the past.
He closed his speech with an eloquent appeal to
men of all parties in the South to come up to the
support of James Buchanan and the Constisu
ton and the Union not forgetting pay his respects
to Boyden and Rayner, who have been going through
the country denouncing those who are acting with
the democratic party for advising resistance to the
abolitionists of the North.
Mr.. Cantwell is jealous democrat, forcible and
plausible speaker, and sustains his assertions with
the proof He was frequently applauded during the
delivery of his speech, and after finishing greet
ed with three cheers by the audience.
