Republican Meeting in Robson.

hcpuDucdu meeting IN hODesOne
At a public meeting held at the Court
house in Lumberton, on the 18th day of
March, 1867 on motion of Thomas A. Nor
ment. ESQ, Rev. Elias Davis was called to
the Chair, and on motion of d. F. Edmunds.
Neill Mcneil was appointed Secretary.
The Chairman called on Thomas A. Nor.
ment, Esq, to explain the object of the
meeting, who did SO and proceeded to make
speech for the purpose of explaining the
military bill. We regret to say that during
his remarks he was interrupted by citizen
OF our County who INDUCED, to some extent,
in personalities which resulted in an alterca-
ton between said citizen and another man,
at which time the Chairman vacated his seat.
Quiet was restored and the meeting re-organ-
lied by calling James A. Roster to the Chair.
Mr.. Norment proceeded with his remarks to
large and respectable audience without
further molestation, advising those who
could vote to be careful in the selection of
their candidates, and also urged upon the
people the necessity of accepting the pro-
visions of the bill passed by Congress under
which we are called on to vote.
1t was moved and carried, that the pro-
ceedings of this meeting be published in the
North Carolina Standard, with the request
that all other papers disposed to cooperate
with us in establishing yeace, harmony and
good feeling among the citizens of the Uui-
ted States, copy.

WHEREAS, North Carolina has had no lc-
gal, loyal State governmental the date of
the so-called act of secession, May 10th,
1861 and whereas, the pretended State
government, established by President John
sons usurpation of power has proved curse
to the State and nation, by degrading and
expressing the loyal Union people, white and
colored, denying them often common justice
in the so-called courts, and by placing all the
offices and power in the hands of the same
| unprincipled secession traitors who brought
on and kept up the war; and whereas, Con-
gress, the constitutional law-making power
of the nation, has passed law entitled An
act to provide for the more efficient govern
ment of the rebel States" by which the
power to organize legal, loyal, republican
government is put in the hands of the loyal
Union citizens without distinction of race
or color; therefore,
1. Resoloed, That we will now, under the
powers granted by this law of Congress,
take our affairs into our own hands and hurl
from Office and power the secession traitors
who have caused all our sufferings, who de-
stroyed our State government, murdered our
friends, ruined our interests and have kept
us out Of the Union since May Goth, 1861.
2. That we accept in good faith the law
of Congress for the purpose of organizing
legal, republican State government in North
Carolina, and that we will heartily cooper
ate with the United States Congress, with the
Union people of the nation, and especially
with the loyal, radical Union people, white
and colored of this State, in putting the
aforesaid law into immediate effect, and thus
secure to North Carolina speedy, honora-
BILE and safe return to, and practical relations
in the Union.
g.. That we appoint Rev. L. L. Stewart, a
known, tried, faithful, unwavering Union
man from the beginning, to represent our
interests in the assembly to meet in Raleigh
for preliminary consultation, &C., March
9th, 1867.

WHEREAS A majority of the citizens of
this County have always been strictly loyal
during the darkest hours OF the late REBEL
ion, which have since the surrender of Gen.
Lees and Gen. Johnsons armies, not entirely
ceased but in reality only transferred from
the field to the political forums of the coun-
try; and whereas, the Congress of the Uni
ted States, the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives are the only constitutional bodies
to which we can look for safety and protec-
ton OF both our persons and property, which
have both been so lately in danger, and in
many cases. both been destroyed; therefore,
l. Resotced, That We tender our heartfelt
and most sincere thanks to the Congress of
the United States, the Senate and House of
Representatives for the passage of the mill
tary bill known as the Sherman substitute
by these two honorable bodies, and while we
would have preferred the bill as passed by
the House, known as Hon. Thaddeus Ste
vens' bill, we extend our thanks to the
leading members of the honorable Radical
Union party, to wit: Thaddeus Stevens
John A. Sherman and Charles Sumner, for
the able manner in which they have defen-
ded the true principles of universal liberty.
2. That the Union men who suffered du-
ring the late rebellion, both in person and
property, ought to be Unidentified out of the
property of those persons who brought on
the war and prosecuted it to the bitter end.
and the national debt paid, and the freed
men protected.
3. That we ask and humbly pray that
these two honorable bodies will pass the con-
fiscation bill introduced by the Hon. Thad-
deus Stevens in the House of Representa-
tives, confscating the property of certain
rebel leaders.
4. That we approve the supplemental bin
passed by Congress, enabling US to form at
an early day, a truly loyal government for
our beloved State.
g. That we request the Union Register and
the Raleigh Standard, and all other truly
Union papers in this State, to publish these
resolutions. +. PEARCE, Ghm'n.
