The Disunion Meeting at Goldsboroush'
We learn that the dsunion meeting AZ 0o.oS'
borough, on Friday and Saturday last was '.
affair. A large portion of those presen. ~ef0 CIV
Gems Of Goldsborough and Wayne County; ana tne
crowd all told We learn, was not larger than the
mass meeting Of the Union men Oh "HAe ''
held in this city on the 9Th Of last mo"'n'
We learn that the resolutions aoop'eo io"N :"
revolution in the event Of the failure OF the dis
non;ss tn take the State out of the Union accord
;,o "a the Constitution. Another great meeting is
tn be held in Charlotte on the Goth of May, at
which secocd declaration Of independence is to be
mad. and the good people Of the State are to be
.nne,.d 70 the "Cotton Confede-acy" whether or
-. Wall we shall see what We shall see.
W. ,s.rn from friend at Goldsborough that the
s-st business on hand seemed to be the consumption
If spirits This was Of course done by the delegates
in their individual capacity. After which they met
At the Court House as politicians when Mr. Edwards
Of Warren, was called to preside, and number OF
people, unknown to fame, we're made Vice-Presl-
dents and Secretaries. It was capital idea in the
oligarchs to make Mr.. Edwards President Of their
meeting. Mr. Edwards, it will be recollected, de-
feated in the Senate Of this State the bill to allow all
the free white men to vote for Senator's. He was,
therefore very suitable politician to preside over
this collection of oligarchs
After silence, says our correspondent, which re-
minded him Of the forion condition Of the lost
sheep of the house Of Israel" one Mr.. Noses of
South Carolina, was called upon to speak. Mr..
Moses spoke. "Hs last words we're, take the forts
in North Carolina, and hold them" We believe the
State which Mr.. Moses had the honor to represent
at Goldsborough, has not yet taken For. Sumter.
After Mr. Noses came Mr.. Victor c. Barrnger.
Our correspondent says, al think bad heard
him make the same speech before" Very likely.
Mr.. Barringer, like all sensible men, is no doubt
partial to his own speeches; and having made one
good one, he keeps on making it NJ. Barringer is
pestered in spirit because the old State refuses to
secede
"Then," says our correspondent "a horn was
blown, what does that mean and Mr.. Noses arose
from his slumbers, and walked out and made
another speech" This was at night On Saturday
the resolutions we're introduced. 1.-THE purport of
them was" says our correspondent ito establish
new party to take the place of the Democratic party,
and to make arrangements to take the State out Of
the Union" They were adopted unanimously.
Then long contest arose among the audience as to
which should speak first the Hon. Burton Craige or
Duncan <. McRae, Esq. The audience at last
decided that Mr.. Craigc should speak, which he
did He advocated tie taking Of the forts in this
State at once
Mr. McRae then spoke " thunderboats and chain
lightning" Some one at length presented the ora
tor with bunch of blossoms 1.-The eagle orator"
says our correspondent "looked at the blossoms
and bowed and smiled, and then he smiled and bow
ed, and then he sat down At length man named
Lucan got hold of the blossoms, and he made along
speech. 1t was nearly all dictionary talk, and 1
could not understand him. After Lucida had fin
ished person of the name Of johnson got hold Of
the blossoms, and the way he talked to them was
refreshing to all who love vegetables. Then the
blossoms were handed to Mr.. Moses, who rose and
said be had seen verbs before, and he liked them.
After he had finished Mr. McRae got the floor again.
He said he liked to hear his friend Mr.. Moses, and
Mr.. Moses said be liked to bear him. They bowed
and smiled, and passed very high compliments on
each other, but at length Mr.. McRae beat Mr. Moses
at his own game Mr. NcRae made q tollable' VI
speech for his SIDE but he talked very differently
from what be did last fall when he went for Doug
las and the Union"
Others of the small fry" spoke, but We presume
it was all the same old song of resistance to the will
Of the majority.
So we Co. Mr. Moses and Mr.. Edmund Rufin have
very kindly consented to instruct our people in tn
arts of secession and civi! war OF course every
body is very much obliged to them.
We tell these agitators and dsturbers of the peac
once for ALL that their schemes will fail The PEG
pie of this State will neither be coaxed nor driver
from the course they have adopted. They hav
spoken at the polls and they will to it that thei
voice is respected Any attempt to revolutioniz
the State will bring down upon the authors Of tn
attempt the most signal punishment These agta
tors remind US of the condition of the fallen angel
plotting new enterprises against heaven almost a
soon as they had touched the fiery foods to whicl
the hand of the Almighty had consigned them
"What though the field be lost!
All is not lost. The uncouquerable will,
And study of revenge immortal hate,
Aud courage never to submit or yield"
But they must yield, and they shaA Let ther
do so gracefully and while they may. They vii
not be FURNISHED" unless they sha! proceed t
some overt act of rebellion; but if they should d
that, the awakened wrath of the people. to whor
this government belongs, and who have the right t
control them and all other politicians, will consum
them utterly. Let them learn, with others, t
UWatch and Waltz Let them watch for agcrea
sions, and wait until aggressions are attempted an
then, instead of having divided, we will have
united people Let Mr.. Crage, and Mr.. Edward
and Mr. McRae, and Mr.. Moses Watch and Wait.
Old Virginia, and young Arkansaw, and gallant Te'
nessee are still watching and waiting" Will
disgrace North. Carolina TO continue in such con
pany? No. "Ah." but say some of these fir
eaters, "North- Carolina is disgraced already"
that be so, why do these gentlemen longer pou
