North Carolina.

The ancient fires of Mccklenburg are
still burning brightly. At large public
meeting in Charlotte, on Friday last, as
we learn from the Bulletins the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States was ordained and established
by our fathers lin order to form q more
perfect Union, establish justice, insure do
nestle tranquility, provide for the COM
mon defence, promote the general wei
fare. and secure the blessings, of liberty
to themselves and their posterity; and
whereas recent and deplorable expert
ence teaches us that that great work OF
our fathers, established as the result of
incalculablc sutferings and sacrifices to
them, has failed to accomplish these ends,
through the instrumentality Of domi-
nant, sectional and tanatical faction,
whose avowed object is first TO circum-
scribe and finally to abolish our most
cherished and valuable domestic institu-
tions:
BE it therefore Res0lce4. That the neccs-
sites of our present critical situation de-
mand the immediate dissolution or our
connexion with the Federal Government,
as "a last resort and only hope Of escaping
from the sectional, political and social dis
grace and dishonoT, which longer con-
tinuance in the Union would entail upon
us and our posterity. sa
Resolued, That the election Of Abraham
Lincoln to the Presidency Of the United
States effected by a political organization
upon platform affirming a policy hos
tile to our section and our interests alb
solves the people OF the latter from all al
legiance to the present Government Of
the United States especially when they
refuseaand reject all offers OF compromise
on our part
-Resolued, That it is the undivided wish
Of the people of Meci5lenburg that said
delegates shall exert their utmost infu-
ence in said Convention to procure the
passage by it, at as early day as practi-
cable, of an ordinance dissolving our re-
lations with the Federal Government.
Resozced, That in q crisis like that
which now attracts the attention of the
country, it is the patriotic duty of every
citizen to meet the responsibilities Of his
situation in the defence Of the honor and
interests of his country, at whatever sac
rifce it may cost Of property, personal
exertions OF individual opinion.
4esozced. That the spirit which aaima
ted the patriots of 17775, in McclSlcnburs
survives to US as our brth-right, and shall
be exerted now with the same detcrmin-
alton to maintain and defend our rights

what we have never been able TO say Of any 9TH
or medcine--never has Il failed In single in

by any one who used 1t. On the contrary all are
delighted with its operations, and speak in terms
of commendation of its magical effects and med
ical virtues. We speak in this matter 1hot zoe
do knou, after ten years experience and pledge
our reputation for the fulfllment of what we
here declare. In almost every instance where
the infant is suffering from pain and exhaustion,
relief will be in Is 20 minutes after the syrup
is administered. This valuable preparation is
the prescription Of one of the most experienced
and skillful nurses in New England, and has
been used with never failing success in thou
