Whereas, The time for the meeting of the Demo

the democratic party for this Congressional District
the convention to select an Elector for this district
in the approaching Presidential election, and the
convention to select suitable candidate to represent
this county in the House of Commons, and suita-
BILE candidate to represent this Senatorial District in
the next General Assembly of North Carolina is fast
approaching; and Whereas it is the privilege as well
as the duty Of all freemen to assemble frequently
together for their common veal and to express free
ly their views as to public men and measures; and
whereas, the people of the saveholding States can
not be so blind not to have seen, for series of
years, that large proportion of their brethren in
the non-slaveholdng States in the North, have sys
tematically and unustly persisted in course of con-
duct inimical to the citizens of the slaveholding
States injurious to the best interests of our common
country, and in direct violation of the letter and
spirit Of the Constitution Of these United States and
Whereas this dangerous and unjust conduct on the
part of the people of the North, notwithstanding the
forbearance and renonstrance of the people of the
South has increased to an alarming extent and has
warned the Southern people that to expect from
their Northern fsow-citzens fraternity and equali-
ty in the Union. is nothing more than forlorn
hope; therefore,
Resolced, That the conduct and speeches of the
Abolition and Black Republican party of the North
States of this conederacy, demand that the peo
pie of the South should have thorough concert of
action, and make immediate preparation for defence
against any further aggression on the part of the
North.
Resolcel, That the treasonous murderous and
incendiary conduct at Harpers Ferry by the infam-
Gus John Brown and his confederates is but the c-
climate offspring and fruit of the doctrine promul
gated by the abolition and republican parties of the
North.
Resolred That the fanatics of the Northern States
have in cold blood murdered our citizens well in
Kansas as at Harpers Ferry; have rendered much
of property worthless by not surrendcrng it up
according to the Constitution of the country, by
felonousy aiding in the escape Of our slaves and
ruptly deprving us of our rghtfu property; have
slandered our citizens, prosecuted section and
reviled our religion; and indeed, have so violated
and outraged the POLITICAL moral, and social ties
which hitherto have bound US together that forbcar
ance further on the part of the Southern people
ceases to be a virtue
Resolcea That we will consider the election of an
Abotionist or Black Republican to the Presidency
of these United States act on the part of the
North which demands resistance by the Southern
people and should such dcplorable event occur,
our voice in concert with the South should be, ITO
your tents, Oh Israel !" and our watchword to the
Northern aggressor: Friends in peace, enemies in
war;"
Resolrea That the vigorous and prompt action Of
the Executive and Legislature of Virginia, evinces a
true Southern sentiment and we recommend their
example to the whole South.
Resolred, That we have abiding confidence in the
patriotism integrity and ability of James Buchanan,
President of these United States and that we hearth
ly endorse his just national, and Statesman-like
views in favor of all sections of our common coun-
try.
Resolred, That we fully endorse the patriotic and
able manner in which the duties of the Executive OF
North Carolina have been administered by his Ex-
cellency John W. Ellis; and We hereby recommend
his denomination as the candidate of the Democratic
party at the ensuing election.
Resolred, That the following Delegates be appoint
ed to cooperate with the Delegates to be appointed
by CASTOR and Catawba counties, in selecting sui.
table candidate to represent this Senatorial District
in the Legislature of North Carolina and that the
same Delegates unite with the citizens of Lincoln
