convention to select suitable candidate to represent
this county in the House of Commons, and suita-
bic candidate to represent this Senatorial District in
the next General Assembly North Carolina is fast
approaching; and Whereas it is the privilege well
as the duty of all freemen to assemble frequently
together for their common veal and to express free
" their views as to public men and measures; and
whereas, the people of the slaveholdng States can
not be so blind as not to have Sccn for series of
years, that large proportion of their brethren in
the non-Slayehoding States in the North have sys-
tematicaly and unjuStly persisted in course of con-
duct inimcal 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 uni just conduct on the
part of the people Of the North Notwithstanding the
forbearance and remOnstrance of the people of the
South, has increased to an alarming extent and has
warned the Southern people that to expect from
their Northern fellowcitiZenS fraternity and equali-
ty in the Union, is nothing more than a forlorn
hope; therefore,
ResoireI That the conduct and speeches of the
RlopE Rnnuhlicon If hn h
ern States of this confederacy, 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.
Resolred That the treasonous, murderous, and
ncendiary conduct at Harper's Ferry by the infam-
Gus John Brown and his cOnfeerateS, is but the le-
gtimate 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 as well in
Kansas at Harper's Ferry; have rendered much
Of our property worthless, by not surrenderng it up
according to the Constitution of the country, by
eloniousy aiding in the escape of our slaves and
ruptly depriyng us Of our rightful property; have
slandcred our citizens prosecuted our section and
reviied our religion; and. indeed have so violated
and outraged the political, moral, and social ties
which hitherto have bound us together that forbear
ance further on the part OF the southern people
ceases to be n virtue.
Resolced That we will consider the election of an
Abolitionst or Black Republican to the Presidency
of these United States, act the part of the
North which demands resistance by the Southern
people; and should such a deplOrabe 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"
ResOLred That the vigorous and prompt action of
the Executive and Legislature of Virginia, evinces
true Southern sentiment, and we recommend their
example to the whole South.

patriotism integrity and ability of James Buchanan
President of these United States and that we hearth
" endorse his just national, and statesman-lke
