Mr.. Kittrell explained the object Of the meeting

the Union men to be held at Winston on Tuesday,
the 9th day Of April Gnst, to nominate candi-
date to represent the Sixth Congressional District
in the next Congress Of the United States, and con-
cluded by offering the following resolutions. which
were unanimously adopted: 80 go
Resoleed That we deem all other political ques.
tons merged in the allabsorbing one OF PEACE ana
the UNION and that the time has come for all differ,
ence between Union men Of all parties to end IS the
perils of the country demand their united efforts or
the common good. ra.' u 5iu artit.37n;s . ]
Resolred, That notwithstanding the attempted
separation of some of the sister States from the
Union, the true source Of all our greatness no-
tion-we are not without hope that all National
troubles may yet be satisfactorily adjusted by pru.
dent for5earance and the united influence Of the
honest conservative masses of all sections when
they shall have had time to reflect and are permit
ted to act ss.,r.6 -s-..,. -.,.,,s -..s,.... +
Resoloed, That we sincerely regret to see mani
tested at various meetings the part of some Of our
fellow citizens in different sections Of the State dis
satisfaction at the clearly expressed will OF the ma
jority Of the people, and that we cannot but view
such demonstrations at this time the part Of rest
less agitating spirits, as tending to civil strife.
Resolped, That We deny that any State has the
right to dissolve its connection with the Union for
any cause short Of that which would justify revolu-
ton; and that revolution is only justifable when
oppression on the part Of the national government
has dissolved the compact implied between it and
the people; and in is it ustifable until all
Constitutional remedies have been exhausted, in
Guiding the holding of national convention.
Resolued, That we are proud of our able and faith
full representative, the Hon. James M. Leach, whose
national patriotic in the last Congress meets
with our full appreciation, and knowing him to be
true to the Union and devoted to the Constitution
we respectfully recommend him to our fellow citizens
of the district for reelection.
Resolced, That all citizens of the county who are
good Union men are hereby constituted delegates
to said convention.

On Sunday morning last Mr.. A. B. Patterson, Of

K1TTRELL's SPRlNGs.-We have read with some in
terest, communication in the Goldsborough Rough
Notes, from visitor to this now celebrated water
ing place. Unlike most of the watering places,
which close up at the approach of King Frost in
Autumn, and open no more until the flowers are
sweetly blooming in Spring, this house has been
kept open during the whole winter and a number
of invalids has received the benefits of its healing
waters. The cure of Scrofula and all kindred dis
eases which have been effected by the water, have
been astonishing indeed. Messrs. Blacknall & Co.,
the enterprising Propretors have been busiy enga-
ged, during the whole winter, and will be until the
opening of the season, in making improvements to
their place. A number of new rooms have been
added the cabins improved and they will be able to
comfortably accommodate six or seven hundred
boaders. The number of arrivals last season. was
more than 40OO
Kittrell's Springs is soon to become the great
watering place Of the Sout, Its success thus far,
has been astonishing The present political excite
ment in the country will keep many Southerners
away from the Northern places the coming season,
and the Proprietors of Southern resorts will have to
prepare for larger number than usual.
Those who have visited Kittrelrs and been annoy
ed with the lack of accommodation at the old De-
pot when waiting for the cars will be glad to know
that the Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad Company are
just now completing q new Depot at the residence
Of Maj. Collins, only few hundred yards from the
Spring. This will be great improvement.
We expect to see this part Of Virginia strongly
represented at Kittrells about next July, whether
the Convention at Richmond shall decide to put us
out Of the Union or to keep us in it-SrtoI Sun

GENERAL JACKSON ON CoERcIoN-A Voice Of a
Patriot-General Jackson. in his farewell address
to the American people in March, 1897 thus alluded
to coercion He said
:" If such struggle is ever begun and the citizens
Of one section Of the country are arrayed in arms
against those of another in doubtful conflict let the
battle result as it may, there will be an end Of the
Union, and with it an end to the hopes Of freemen
The victory of the vctors would not secure to them
the blessings Of liberty. It would ayenge their
wrongs but they would themselves share in The com.
mon ruin"

inscribed in letters Of gold and everywhere dstrb-
uted A civil war is tho end Of the Union.

Amid the smouldering embers Of their barns,
And granaries pillaged by the forsgers,
] saw the farmers, standing like a pack
OF starving wolves, lank.ribbed and hery-eyed.
Beside them sat their wives whose starving babes,
Like withered lillies lsy upon their laps,
Seeking the breasts that gave NO nourshment.

Spreads its white sails and trembles in the blast
While hapless merchants gazing down the bay
Mourn the swift ships that wander far away.
