A committee having been appointed to draft res
outions, unanimously reported series expressing
sympathy with our Southern brethren, who in their
sovereign State capacity have resumed the powers
they once delegated to the general government
declaring ourselves union-loving aad law abiding
citizens willing to accept as compromise the Crit

After these resolutions were read and motion

fered a set OF resolutions denouncing Suoth Caro-.
lina approving of Governor Hicks course, and ad-
vocating the defence of government property at

TALBOT COUNTY.
An adjourned meeting of the County Convention
assembled at Easton, on Thursday, for the purpose
of receiving the report of the committee appointed
at the previous meeting of the Convention. The
report was presented and read. We make the fol-
lowing extract:
You, the people of Talbot county, in County
Convention assembled, resolved the sixteenth
of January, 1861, to nominate candidates for a
Constitutional Convention, in Maryland, to be
voted for on the fourth day of February, 1861.
The preference of all was that the Legislature
should be convened, and law passed by it calling
this convention. AS this cannot be obtained, we
invoke all who desire convention for the safety
and honor of the State, and to place her in posi-
ton to act in reference to both as events may re
qure, to come forward and unite in this
nent. Your committee fully assured that the
matured sentiment of the county is for Constiu.
tional Convention. But as some excellent citizens
desire the expression Of sentiment at the ballot
box, at the time for voting for members to the
vention, your committee recommend that each
voter be asked, at the time of depositng his ballot
| whether he be ''fOr against Constitutional
Convention" and that the voters for and against
such convention be registered. If the iority OF
| of he
votes against such conventiGn the delegates elected
! from the county shall withdraw, unless a clear
jorty of counties shall manifest their wish for
such convention, and delegates shall actually
sembe on day agreed upon.
Your committee, though clothed with the power,
! decline to recommend the mode and manner OF
| nomination, to be adopted by the meeting this dav
! assembled They prefer to let the meeting decide
| this matter for themselves. They simply recon-
mend the appointment in the manner most agree
able to the meeting, of five delegates from each
election district of the county, for the purpose OF
nominating three candidates to represent the county
in the proposed Constitutional Convention.

nate candidates for the Convention, and reported

mously confirmed Captain E. l.. F. Hardcastle,

pointed, of which DR.. c. G. Cox was chairman, to

| which adopted:
Rcso1red That, impresseia; we are in common with
sister slaveholdng States, with deep of the
grievances inflicted upon rights and institutions by
Northern aggression do not nevertheless recognize
the proprety ofredessng such grievances by dissolu
tion of the Union of the Staes-but believe that we
should contest boldly every inch of rights within
that Unon convinced that separation therefrom will
neither give indemnity for the past redress in the
| future
RcSoIred That pretermitins all expression of opinion
upon the eXpediency constitutionality of State
Convention at this time it is the judgment of this

sentiments upon that subject through the ballot box and
is therefore eminenty proper and right that the Of
the people of Maryland should be had at early day. in
affirmation or rejection of the proposed Convention.

ing respectfully recommends to the various counties Of
the State and city of Baltimore to their
places of voting Wednesday, 4h of February next

and also the day to for delegates said
Convention the election of delegates be considered
null and void should the of the people of the
State be found to be adverse the holding of said Con
| vention.

that the proceedings of the Convention should it he held

have the privilege through the baotbox of either rat
| flying rejecting the action of said Convention.
