The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1865-10-18

Mr.. Warren had hoped that vote wsuld
have been reached on yesterday, but as
msnber Of the committee WIN reported the
pending ordinance, and also oil the Con-
sention OF 1861, which passed the ssces-
sion ordinance. he deemed il due 10 him-
srlt that he should give brief expression TO
his views. II was alleged by those who
supported the amendment hat the original
proposition is discouriesus 10 the Consen-
lion oi 1861. He regarded il as somewhat
singular that he and Two others, members
OF the Convention Of 1861, whe were also
on the committee that reported the present
ordinance, should have failed To- see any
thing in the ordinanse which could be sou-
strued into reflection upon themselves.

who thought with him constituting large
majority Of the Convention OF 1861, were
made by the ordinance of secession to say
what was untrue, and this was the FIRST op-
portuniiy they had had 70 give expression
