UNION MEEITNG IN WAKE

| ONlON IN W AhE
According to previous appointment, portion of
the citizens of Wake met at Mr.. Wesley Marcom's,
on the night of the 9th inst.
The meeting was organized by calling Mr.. Wesley
Maroon to the Chair, and appointing j. R. Maroon
Secretary.
The object of the meeting being explained, on
motion the chair appointed committee of three to
report resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting. The committee retired and after a short
absence returned and made the following report:
WHEREAS, the present crisis is one which affects
the continuance of that unity of government which
constitutes us one people, and threatens the
throw OF the Union of the States formed by the ses
of the Republic, and menaces rights as freemen.
Therefore
Resolued, That we hold that "all power is vested
in and derived from the people only" and that all
changes in the organic law should be submitted to
them; and we regard the disunion movement as
subversive of our free Constitutions
ResoLUed, That we canddly believe that the only
issue now before the people of this State is Union
and Disunion
ResolUed, Believing this to be the issue, we shall
turn deaf ear to all cries of party and shall support
any sound, conservative Union man, who is pledged
to use all honorable means to restore harmony to
our estranged brotherhood and to perpetuate the
Union of the States
ReSolOed, That we would regard any attempt to
draw party lines, or to raise party issues detri
mental to the best interests of our unhappy country
tending to produce division in the Union ranks, and
thereby aiding the election of a disunionist.
ResoLced, That we recommend State Mass Meet
ing to be held about the last of May at some central
point for the purpose of organizing and presenting
an undivided front to the dIsunionists and also
district mass meeting to be held about the first of
May, at some convenient point to nominate a candi
date
ResolUed, That we will support the choice Of that
mass meeting irrespective of party.
Resotued That the preference of this meeting be
expressed by ballot
ALsEY MORGAN, }
WILLIE MAYNARD, Com.
L. NJ. MORGAN
The Chair then ordered ballot which was unaEi-
nous for HENRY w. Miller Esq.
On motion,
ResOtued That we adjourn to meet at Johnson's
store the third Saturday inst, and that the Chair
appoint committee of three to make it known, and
request Union men to attend.
The Chair appointed VIM. Carpenter, Alsey Nor
gan and James Maroon said committee.

"sTAND LIKE AN ANVIL. {"
BIZ BISHOP DoANE.

"Stand like an anvilp when the strokes
OF stalwart strength fall fierce and fast;
Storms but more deeply root the oaks,
Whose brawny arms embrace the blast.
@Stand like an anvil" when the sparks
Fly far and wide, fiery shower
Virtue and truth must still be marks
Where malice proves its want of power.
"Stand like an anvil" when the bar
Lies red and glowing on its breast;
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its test.
"Stand like an anvil" when the sound
of ponderous hammers pain the ear;
Thine but the still and stern rebound
OF the great heart that cannot fear.
"Stand like an anvil" noise ard heat
Are born of earth and die with time,
The soul, like God, its source and seat,
Is solemn, still, serene, sublime.

DIsUNIoN THE Doom OF SLAvERY-Hon. w. W.
Boyce of South Carolina, in 1851, speaking of the
hostile spirit of the age to the institution of slavery
said
Secession, separate nationality with all its bur-
dens, is no remedy 1t is no redress for the past
it is security for the future. 1t is only magni-
fcent sacrifice to the present. without in any wise
gaining in the future For the various
reasons have stated object in as strong terms as
l can, TO the secession of South Carolina. Such is
the intensity of my conviction on this subject that
if secession should take place-of which have no
idea for cannot believe in the existence of such
stupendous madness-I shall consider the institu-
ton Of slarery as doomed, and that the Great God
in blindness has made the instruments of its
destruction"

Fun is the most conservative element of society,
and ought to be cherished and encouraged by all
lawful means. People never pot mischief when
they are merry. Laughter is an enemy to malice, a
foe to scandal and friend to every virtue 1t pro-
notes good temper enlivens the heart and brightens
the intellect Let US laugh when we can.
