UNION MEETING IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
On Tuesday of January Court, very large num-
Der of the citizens of Montgomery county convened
in the Court House to take such action as might
be deemed proper, in the present political condition
Of the country.
DIR. j. H. Montgomery was appointed chairman.
and d. ID. Deberry secretary.
On motion the chairman appointed committee,
consisting of Thos. j. Bright, Zebedee Russell, c.
w. Wooey, William Coggins, A. Chambers VIM.
Aumand and j. T. Button to draft resolutions ex-
presSive of the sentiments of the meeting.
During the absence of the committee, Mr.. D. II.
Dockery being called on made a short speech, full
of good sense and sound patriotism.
At the close of his speech, Mr.. 5. Fl. Christian
addressed the meeting in plain, argumentatve and
forcble style for short time, when the committee
returned with the following resolutions
ResOlred, That whilst we deeply regret the cleo
ton of Mr. Lincoln 10 the Presidency of the United
States we do believe that this alone is sufficient
cause for the dissolution Of our government which
has been the of so many invaluable blessings
that we believe the policy to be to "wait and
watch" the initiatOry policy of the incoming adj
ministratiOn.
Res,Ired That we do not believe secession to be
a constitutional remedy for any wrong committed
but on the contrary pregnant with lnnumerable
evils but unless the Northern States repeal all I'M
constitutional laws known personal liberty laws,
and all laws infringing upon the rights OF property
in slaves we believe our proper remedy is revoiu-
ton; that we are in favor of the Union so long as
orr rights protected andrespected in 1t, and no
longer
Resolred, That we opposed to the calling of
the contemplated convention Of the people, beev-
ing its true purpose is concealed and disguised cal
cuated to enlist in its support by false pretenses
the honest people of the country and that The true
purpose OF the convention is to commit the people
to secession.
Resolred, That we are opposed TO the notification
of any law, North South, passed by the Congress
of the United States, and that we most positively
condemn the course pursued by South Carolina, and
we are opposed to forming any league or compact
with State which has repeatedly sneered at and
uSulted her sister States and given such strong ev
idence Of instability and rcStleSsness; and should
necessity compel to revolt and disrupt the gov
eminent, we prefer to remain an independent gov
ernment until sound policy shall render it proper
for us to form congenial connection
The resolutions passed with but few dissenting
voices
Col Gaines being loudly called for, made very
effective feeling sensible and patriotic speech.
On motion, the secretary was requested to trans
nit the proceedings and resolutions of the meeting
to the Raleigh STANDARD and Register and Fayette-
ctteville Observer for publication.

result from disunion and advised caution and mode
ration At the conclusion of which, the committee,
through their Chairman, Samuel II. Taylor, reported
the following resolutions:
Resolved That the Constitution of the United
States was framed by men whose wisdom, patriot
ism and heroic vaor is unsurpassed, If not unequal
led, in the history Of this any other natlon-by
men who had at the time of its formation and
adoption Just emerged from deadly conflict with
tyranny and oppression the result OF which was
complete triumph of the principles OF civil and re-
ligiOus liberty-that under It we have enjoyed ul-
examped national prosperity, and have commanded
the confidence, respect and admiration of the world
Further
Resolred, That however much we deplore the
election to the office of President and VicePresdent
of these United States, of two individuals upon
purely sectional issues, and by purely sectional
vote who are the representatives of opinions and
principles inmical to the interests of the people OF
fifteen States of this Conederacy that STILL inasinuch
as they were chosen according to the forms of the
Constitution by large minority of the freemen of
all the States we do not in their election alone
sufficient cause for the dismemberment of the best
fed nv Tod
ResolUed, That we are in favor of exhausting all
conciliatory consistent with our honors and
rights to preserve myolate the Constitution and
| Union, and although ambitious and designing men
busy engaged in endeavorng to ALLEVIATE the al
ections of the people from just attachment to the
! government and constitution, we nevertheless in
duge the hope that through the patriotism of the peo
pie, peace and harmony may be restored to the
country, and the bonds Of our national Union pre-
! served
