4 Secession Meeting TransmOgra'
fled.

A secession meeting was convened at Moon
School house, in the 10th district Of Alegany
county, on Saturday, the 9th inst. The meet
ing was organized at O'Clock. by the cleo
ton of officers. whose names are strictly con-
fdential The resolutions, though previous
" prepared, were presented through com
mit.ee & proved to be simon pure accession
fully up to the programme. Rev. Mr. Phil
Gps took the floor and made four speeches in
their defence. c. W. White, CT an adjoining
district being present, was permitted, by vote
of the meeting, to speak in opposition to the
adoption OF the resolutions, denouncing abo-
litionism on the one hand and secession on
the other tearing into fragments the argu-
ments Of the iisunonists, and exposing their
utter deformity. One Of the resolutions re-
ferred to the failure of the Crittenden resolu-
tions as an evidence that secession was the
only remedy for the country. Mr.. White
said lie protested against the pollution Of that
sacred name by having it associated with
those Infamous resolutions, and appealed to
Mr.Phllips to say whether or not Mr.. Crit'en-
den would endorse such resolutions, and why
not use the name of Yancey as NOSE congo
NAL. AT the close of the discussion, MIR. /.
objected to permitting any person WHO was
not resident Of the district to vote, thus
ruling out eight union men who had gone
over from Oakland. The resolutions received
but seven votes, and were lost by vote of 81
to one. Three cheers were given for the
Uuion, and the Stars and Stripes which no"
wave over Moons School house. Thus end
eth the only secession meeting held in this
vicinity. AS the officers Of this meeting will
not be likely to publish the proceedings, |
have deemed it duty owe to posterty to
put them upsn the journal.

Those Of our fellow citizens who arc OPP

But it is also charged that our slaves will

But may VIC not ask how long will Maryland
be slave State if this Union should be dis

her extensive border on n free and untrienGly
