Of the States are to be swept away, the
De pie of North Carolina will take their
affairs into their own hands, and proceed
IN convention assembled to dictate their
liberties an their privileges. They will
not submit to q military despOtiem; they
will not submit TO the destruction of
their personal and civil rights in this or
any other way.

no effort can extingnish. Pass these
measures and the people of North Caro-
lima will rise in their majesty snd assert
.beir sovereignty.
There is 20 power to prevent them,
lid woe to the official who shall attempt
% tuFa his arms on the Confederate sol
iers against the people of this State.
