= feeling among the people was never before
$3.50 in ALI tbis region Of the country. They
w. nm IN arms against tho iraisors and will make
,ho shores of the Atlantic ring with rage if their
,chts are not eoon restored TO them. THIS Conven-
ton is en- index to the peoples heart, and reading
ia proceedings and their indictment against the Rebel
Government, il enough 10 make ones blood boil.
But 10 business.
Pending the report Of the Committees, the Con-
vention, and large ooncourre Of the inhabitants OF
the county who were present, were addressed ~
some Of the distinguished cirizens Of the State.
The eject of these speeches OF that large assembly
of patriots notable, by the enthusiastic manner
in which they were received. In fact, all the
speeches were Of the most earnest and fearets ma
,ure, and the Convention seemed to partakc Of the
same determined spirit which aroused the patriots
of North Carolina in the days of the Revolution.
The speech of the Rev. NJ. N. Taylor, the patriotic
clergyman was very affecting and sincere, carrying
conviction TO every heart. The extensive influence
of this popular divine in this section of the State has
been used to great advantage in favor OF the Union
and from the commencement Of this rebellion no has
been among the people at work night and day for
she good cause.
1t appears that the people in the counties bordering
ON these Sounds made extensive arrangements for
holding Convention of ibis kind on the goth OF May
last (which was the anniversary Of the world're-
nowned Mecklebburg Convention, which gave North
Carolina the lead in lay ing the drs foundation stone
of the Union months in advance Of all other Sla,es
but they prevented from carrying out their IN
tenons as the Rebel Congress heard Of this import
ant movement in time TO head il off by sending Con-
f,derate troops from South Carolina and Georgia
into these counties, North Carolina having refused TO
interfere in the matter.
An uprising of her people against this unboly re-
bellon is now assuming practical reality IN the
Old North State, the Mother Of tho Union. The old
WhiQs. Quakers, ard honest Democrats are coming
out in full force and boldly taking tho bull by the
hons, on discovering that The Union Of their fathers
lie in danger. These people who were the first TO
throw off the British yoke of tyranny, viii be the
last 70 sever their connection with a Government
which they helped 10 create. When they had a
chance 10 express their sentiments, prior TO the pas
sage Of Tho Secession ordinance by packed Conven
tiop they voted TO remain IN the Union by major
iiy Of over sixty thousand and the trsitors knew full
well that this great odds against Secession would
never be overcome % long it was left 10 the con-
seryative people Of the Old North State. How,
then can il be expected that they should be recon
ced TO this new order OF things strange to them
SO anagonstical their interest and sense Of right
Counties, one after another, throughout the State
we learn, are openly repudistng tie Southern Con-
federacy and seeding through regularly called con
ventions now being held, and soemnly reunitlng
themselves to the old Union, which they have always
loved and cherished. On these Eastern shores, old
Democratic Hyde leads the van. Excelling in
wealth. intelligence, and agricultural productions,
she is among the very fret to realHrm the spirit Of
the old Meekenburg Declaration ofIndependenee, and
after the lapse Of eighty-six years she again comes
voluntarily forward to be reunited in the holy bonds
of Union; and, too, as am informed in the same
old church where according 10 tradition one Of the
fret Declarations Of Independence Of North Carolins
was proclaimed.
This Convention, made up of people Of all parties,
coming from every portion Of this great county,
whose historical record IL familiar to every child is
one of the most imporian: movements Of the day.
f, The statement Of grievances, carefully written
out by an able committee, sets Forth apicture Of
affairs now existing in the rcbellious States. Let
this document be well perused by that class Of per
CONS in the North, es wel as 10 England, who believe
that the people Of the South united in this rebel
| lion.
The resolutions, which alec appended, are Of a
definite character, and right TO the point.
This highly important movement IN this section Of
the State is but beginning Of what will result IL the
establishment OF Provisional STATE Government
Other counties in motion.
STATEMENT OF GRIEVANCES
AND DECLARATION OF IEDTPEsDEEcf, DECLARED
| BY THE CITIZENS OF HYDx COUNTY, ". e., ~
| CONVENTION ASSEMBLED.
Appealing to that sacred right Of protest and rstis
lance which is inherent in ali oppressed communities
snd with frm trust In the Almighty Ruler OF
kind whose good providence ia declared In history,
and who never tolerate the permanent ascen-
; dency Of wrong, we do hereby on behalf Of the
Iovaf people Of North Carolina, deliberately and
solernnly proclaim Independence OF the spurious
government designating itself the Confederate
:, States of America" and Of the revolutionary and
REASONABLE dynasty which usurps the governing
) power of our own State. We repudate the unwsr.
ranted arfogsion Of authority asserted by these bold
bad men--traitors alike to the Federal Union and 20
the peopleiof North Carolina. We discaim and disa'
vow all participation or scquiescence in their two
fold treachsTy; Gnd we now openly Teaibrm our In
slenabls allegiance 10 the Government Of the United
States, and resume ali those elements and parts OF
sovereignty which belong, in subordination 70 the
National Constitution, to the Freemen OF this Com
monwealih.
| In vDdicstion OF the justice Of our cause, and in
difference to the Judgment Of the world, we proceed
TO cot forth come Of the considerations which impel
us 70 this Declaration:
| The tyrants whom we now arragn before the tn
bGnal Of public Coincidence have sought to depHvo us
of the precious heritage OF American citizenship
won for US by the heroic toils and sacrifices Of our
sres OF the Revolution and handed down 10 US to DO
transmitted to our chiidren;
| They have not only attempted The sbrogatiou Of
the Constitution Of the United States, bus have sd
dressed themselves 10 the sweeping mutation Of
