The meetInr Iast Nlght.

1nc MecItuE lASt NIBnt-
The meeting at the Court House last night was
somewhat after the model Of the meeting on Satar-
day Itwas rather more on the boisterous than the
harmonious, and we fear was not calculated to pro-
nots snIty Of sentiment in our midst. The Gem
mittee on Resolutions was composed of S N. HoI-
LINGswoKTH, j. w. HALL J. J. MCCAIN, SAM'L Wat
KrSs. JoHx CoLTART, C. w. VANCE, G. S. NEwsoM and
JAS. CAvTTT ISAAC Paul presided, and JAS. NJ. HAM
nToS GREEN SAVERS and AND ANDERSON were ap-
pointed Vice Presidents. The Secretaries were HU
CARROLL and C. A. FULLER. PR. DRIVER andS. A DA
WILSON offered resolutions which referred to the
Committee. The latter took strong ground against
coercion and in favor of Southern rights. We did
not hear the resolutions of Mr.. DRIVER. While the
Committee were out various persons were called
for, among others the Wizard Oil man and C. w.
NANCE. We could not hear what " The Wizard"
said. Loud calls were made for II song Some were
for Yankee Doodle, some for Dixie, some for one
thing and some another. At length Mr.. NANCE came
forward and sang something, but we did not recog-
nize the tune. Some said it was the Arkansas
Traveller, and some said Star Spangled Banner.
The majority reported through Ex-Mayor HoL-
LNGswOKTH and the minority through J. J.
McCAgN The resolutions of Mr.. MCCAIN
were strongly Southern and supported by
him in a telling and effective speech. Coming from
one born and reared in our midst, and known as a
practical workman, it was received with repeated
and long-eontinued shouts Of applause Some of
the crowd objecting the sentiments expressed by
Mr.. MCCAIN, attempted to cry him down, but it was
ascertained that he not one of the sort TO
be stopped. Mr.. FULLER advocated the majority res
olutions but insisted that one of them was worded
cation. He believed in the right of the people
of 4 State to resist laws of oppression. While
he was opposed to secession, he believed in the
allegiance of people to the State authorities.
The first motion put was, that the minority report
should be first considered After considerable yell
ing, the motion was put and the Chairman decided
that the vote was in favor Of first considering the
majority report. This created some dissatisfaction
and secession of a portion Of the crowd. The
majority resolutions were then read and put one at
a time, and then a whole, the Chair deciding that
the affirmative in each instance prevailed. II was
evident that very considerable portion ofthe crowd
were unwilling to take anything less than the mi
norty report expressed. After the voting Mr.. Full
LEE was called for and made a short speech during
which the audience very generally dispersed. Upon
the whole, the proceedings were calculated to
establishment Of what GREEIEYs correspondent
would cell 1.-THE disagreeuents Of the South" We
hope our Black Republican enemies may take no
cncoura cement from what traRspired.

TIE PooR-THE ROBERTSON AssoCIAuoN.--The
Robertson Association makes an appeal 10 the citi-
zens in behalf Of the Suffering poor Of the city. The
demands upon the Association have been so large
that they have entirely exhausted their supplies.
The Association will thankfully receive donations
of any kind. Many of our merchants probably have
goods which have grown old, and out of fashion.
Donations Of SUCH we understand would be of great
service Many families have old clothes fer which
they have little or no use, which would be most
ceptable donations in the present emergency. We
have also heard it suggested that all the Churches
in the city ought take up collection for the ben
eft Of the poor and place the proceeds in the charge
of the Robertson Association. Whatever our citi.
zens may do, they may rest ured that their do
nations will be distributed among the worthy only.
The Robertson Association is doing much for the
relief of the suffering poor Of our city, and our
citizens should second their benevolent efforts to the
fullest extent The headquarters of the Associa-
ton are in the City Hall, over the Recorders Office,
where they will be pleased to receive donations of
any description.
