The followin. resolutions were reported and
adopted by the meeting:
|. Resolved, That while we bow, in hum
hlc submission to God, who has seen fit to
check our cause with what some term n re-
verse Of our arms, We cannot fail to express
our regret that there arr some in Cur midst
who are now doing all they can to create dis
; satisfaction among our trnurs and people.
.. Resolved, That, while we admit we all
wish for peace, yet we do not want peace ex-
ccpt On the tcrslS with which we commenced
this bloriv war. Not until tie enemy with
draws his forces. and lots us alone, and ac-
~knowledccs our independence, are we willing
20 stop This war.
3. Resolved. Tha. We intend to rely upon
God in the future, rs in the past, 10 bless our
| efforts, and we recommend that the editor Of
the Raleigh Standard" together with all
dislnyal men Of the State, be turned over 10
the proper authorities, to lie dealt with as
nav he deemed most proper.
t. Resolved. That unless the sail editor,
md all others who may be scattering their
disloyal sentiments throughout our land. be
stnppcdf we recommend that the said editor or
|.cd'tnrs he banishcd from our mid I.
5. Resolved, That while we are called upon
tn express our sentiments in regard 10 the
course Of certain editors Of North Carolina,
who. hy their hvpocritical teachings. have de-
ceivrd &Omo few 50 far as tn cause them, in the
hour Of trial, to forget what they are contend

he course of those who are spcculatiug upon
the ncccssarics of life and those who are cry
ing down our currency.
6. Resolved. That as these men have had
ample time to sec the bmneiul influence of
their conduct upon our country, we do not hcsi-
,atc 10 express our feelings in regard to them.
| IL is true we bate Yankee: but these We detest.
| Men who are willing to sell the liberty Of their
country. our wives, our children aud them
selves, for money. are no better than Judas
~[scariot or Benedict Arnold. We look upon
| hem as mcancr and more degraded than the
| Yankees. No wonder the prophet exclaimed,
Woe unto the cxtortioners," when he well
| knew they would sacrifice every earthly thing,
yea even their souls, for money.
I. Resolved, That "a these men have been
loiug all in their pnwcr to prejudice the loyal
people ac our land against our noble cause, VIC
10 not hesitutc to say that we look upon them
as 'disloynl and trcachcrous. They should be
branded with the stigma of the mcanest Of
he mean. Since our noble comrades, like
true patriots, have checrtully undergone ev.
erv trial incident to a soldier, and have won
:or themselves tho admiration not only Of our
enemy, but Of tire world, we will not fail to
express cur contempt and condemnation Of

.toiding the army, and wh" are even now at
home while the enemy arc,invading heir soil
and p~olluiirg their homes and fresides. Had
hey ever had the least siark Of patriotism or
element of bravery, or regard for the future
welfare Of their families, they would have
taken up arms long since, and not waited to
De forced into the ranks 10y their Governor.
8. Resolved. That we recommend to our
Chief Magistrate to use any and every meuns
in his power to put down these men, who, like
the Giodinist of France, had for their motto.
Strike, but conceal the band" also, that he
will adopt some means to bring all such men
into service. whore they may have an oppor-
tuni'y Of wiping out the disgrace which has
thus far hung 50 heavily on their brows.
1t. G.. 7. Sin and DR.. 3. ~ Cheek were
appointed delegates TO represent the regiment
in the General Convention.
