A Concentration Meeting.

At meeting held by the citizens of Earpsboro',
Johnston county, N c., on the slst ult, to express
their views in regard to the course pursued by the
Hon Preston s. Brooks, Representative from our
sister State, South Carolina, towards Senator Sum-
ner, of the State of Massachusetts,, black Republ
can, the following were adopted:
WHEREAS, The language used by Senator Sumner,
and directed to Senator Butler, of s. c., is of high
ly insulting character-such as was never before
heard in the Senate of the United States; and
as tending in every particular to reflect upon the
institution of slavery and its holders in the South
Therefore
Resolued, As citizens identified with Southern
principles interest and character, that in opn.
ion Senator Sumner received at the hands of the
Honorable and chivaric Preston S. Brooks, nothing
more than a just reward; and that the same should
be endorsed by every slaveholding State in the
Union.
Resolred, That the cane with which the Hon.
Preston s. Brooks executed andinficted the thrash
ing on the person Of Senator Sumner, and its frag
ments, be placed in the patent Office as memento
of Southern chivalry. s.Sss g.s7

District.
DEMOCRATS! now is the time for action. In view
of the fact that the able Eector chosen for the 9th
District, by the District Convention, is compelled to
decline the call of the party and that the District
may not be without an Elector, / propose that the
Democracy of the District meet in Convention at
Wiaston, on Tuesday June 18th, and appoint an
Eecto, for the District.
The Elector of the Know Nothing organize
ton and his friends are not idle, and we should have
our champion in the field contending for the princ-
pies of Democracy, the Constitution, Equality of
Rights, and the Union Of the States crisis has
arrived in the political affairs of the country, and II
ever there was an occasion, is the time for eve
ry true Republican Democrat to exert himself The
issue is between the principles of Democracy, iber-
ty of conscience and Equal Rights on the one hand
and secret, political, oath-bound, "Jesuitical,"
black R pu ,lican," q" Jacobinite" organization on
the other, nose whole aim is to defeat the Demo.
cratic the only real national party regardless OF
consequences. Then, Democrats of the 9Th Con-
gressional District; to your posts. Let every man

lantern influence it has long been our misfortune
to labor under. We can do it if we try-we will DO
If we do our duty Then Democrats, to the rescue
Let the spiri: of sres who fought for principles

doubt about it. They must come right down. And

question is now very different one. Besides the
North has said plainly to that these settements

ourselves bound ct all. Under such circumstances
what will you do, demand your rights, Or make an

have swept over the country since the commence

be shown If Mr.. Pierce's appointces are to be
judged, however, by what they may haze been years

abolition letters, and long list of votes in Congresss
What with Tom Corwn's appointment to Cabinet
