Much of the action Of the Union
masses South, when so being over
whe.med, has never been known be-
vond the immediate locality. The
following rccited action in North
Carolina, is bat one of q great many
of similar import enacted South dur
ing the rebellion, and we publish it
with a view 20 sustain the allegation
we have often made, that the Union
men South really outnumbercd trea-
son, and also to correct the common
" received view that the rebellion
was of all the people South:
The Union men Of North Carolina are
moving in earnest. a convention was
held IN Hyde county. the largest county
in the State, on The 12h OF October. in
the year 1861, ard numerously attended.
After passing resolutions declaring that
they would not lie bound by the action oil
the Confederate s ates, and deciding that
they still formed pat of the Union, they
put forth statement of grievances, from
which we extract the following impo tan'
POINTS:
Appealing to the sacred right Of p o
tesl and resistance which i, Inherent in all
Cypress. d communities and with a firm
trust in the Almighty Ruler of ma kind
whose good Irovil,nce is declared in l's-
tory, and who can never tolerate the per.

Carolina, deliberately and sol"mn'y pro.

GOV, rnnent designating itself the "Con-
fed-rate States of America" and Of the
revolutionary and reasonable dynasty
which now usurps the governing power oil
our own State.
We repudiate the unwarranted arroga-
ton of authority asserted by these bold,
bad mpn-trai,ors alike IT, the Federal
Union and to the people of North Carolina.
We disclaim and disavow all particip ,tiol,
or acquicscence in their two-fo!d trcachery,
and VIZ now and hereby rcaffirm our mali
