throw oil tho Confederate yoke, so long

there il sufficient Federal force here to
sustain her in such an effort.

call home by Governor Vance of the
North Carolina troops from the Oonfed-
crate army at once. Should General
Lees army be annihilated or prevented
from reaching this State, the repeal of
this act may take place at any moment,
otherwise matters will remain az above
stated. 1t is said that while the discus
sion Of repeating the act Of secession
was going on, a distinguished member
suggested a foreign war as a method OF
cementing the States together, which was
~applauded TO the echo, all parties Joining.
