WHEREAS, the General Assembly Of our
State has passed an act, January llth,
1861, calling for the election of delegate
TO State Convention on the 4th day Of

business Of that Convention appears to be
the dissolution of our connection with the

ed by adequate concessions from the North
GAAbGBY WHICH uiltRGu 10 NC IuG
HgSrcssors. And, whereas, a change of
the constitution of this State by that Con-
TentioH, has also been contemplated in

tho Constitution, and the enforcement OF
the laws is the only safeguard to our liber-
ties, therefore, Tint we will not vote for
any candidate who will not pledge himself
uRcOmPromisiugly against secession, and
will not endeavOr to crush, by his vote, the
reasonable design of disuniou, and will
not concentrate all his power and might to
pilot the Ship of State to mornings of
safety, amidst breakers of secession.
Sd. That We claim through ous dele
gates, the right of amendment to our State
Constitution, so as to give us Il Representa-

4th. That We will support no man who
will not oppose all elaboration and dis
cussion, by the members of said Conven-
ton, in secret session.
The first and fourth of these being the
ClHrksburg resolutions, fully express the
sentiment Of this meeting.
