PUBLIC MEETING IN LINCOLN.

A highly respectable portion of the citizens of
Lincoln and CASTOR counties exhibited their patri-
olsm by uniting in council the present political
crisis, at Rock Hill School House, in Lincoln
county, on Dec. 20, 1860.
On motion of Col. d Lowe, the meeting was
organized by calling DIR S y Johnston to the
Chair and appointing Jas Kincaid as Secretary
The Rev Hill being present, opened the
meeting with fervent and appropriate prayer to
God Almighty for his blessing and protection.
The Chairman then explained the object of the
meeting, and in an able and patriotic address of
some length advocated the necessity of prompt and
energetic action.
A Committee consisting of the following gen.
tlemen, appointed to draft resolutions for the
action Of the meeting, viz: Col Geo Kincaid, Col
ID A Lowe, Monroe Kincaid, Andrew Ryburn, Col
John Nixon, John Davis Robt Edwards, Thomas
ROzzel and William Connel The committee re-
tired, and after a short absence returned and re-
ported the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, Several of the Northern States have
nullifed the Constitution by their personal liberty
bills; and Whereas Abraham Lincoln, a Black Re-
publican and the author of the "irrepressbe con-
hic:" has been elected to the Presidency by
purely sectional vote and stands on a platform
whose fundamental principle is against the
institutions of the South. Therefore
Resolved, That Southern men, inheritng
from our ancestors the principles of liberty and
equality, we cannot, with justice to ourselves and
pOsterity, submit to the practical effects of an
Administration which seeks to degrade us in the
Unlon and deprive of the dearest rights of
ifreemen.
Resolved, That we are in favor of q convention
aOf the people of State to determine the neces-
sary course to be pursued in securing our rights in
the Union if possible, but out of it if necessary
Resolved, That there remains among the re-
served rights Of the States the right of secession
whenever 1t Is deemed that the solemn compact
which binds US together has been broken, either
by the dictates Of :" higher law" or a corrupt
subversion of its principles
Resolved, That We prefer to leave the Union
with our sister States of the South, rather than be
a contemplate minority in Abolition Republic.
The meeting then addressed by the chair
man, DIR X Johnston, and the Rev j Hill, in
favor of the resolutions The resolutions we're
then unanimously adopted.
On motion of Col ID A Lowe, the Western
Democrat and the Weekly State Journal were re-
spectfuliy requested to publish these proceedings
The meeting then adjourned.
