REPUBLICAN MEETING In MCDOWELL co.
At a meeting of portion Of the citizens
of Mcdowell County at Loyal Peak near the
summit of the Blue Ridge, August 18th,
1857, the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted s
- WHEREAS, The present unsettled con-
dition of our State in not being restored to
her equal rights as u member of the Union,
and in view of the disloyal element in our
midst that seeks to rule or ruin, it becomes
all loyal men to meet and hold interchanges
of sound sentiment and principles.
1. Resolced. That we heartily endorse the
action of Congress in its plan of reconstruc-
ton, and we hold it to be the duty of all
good citizens to carry out in good faith the
policy of restoring the Union upon firm
and lasting basis. ~ 4''s ii'
this time to support an "illegal State gov
eminent " is unjust and oppressive to our
Impoverished citizens, and we would be
glad that General Sickles would put an end
to it until We could have the State in the
hands of civil officers whose principles will
accord with the general government.
8. That we regard the meeting of the
Legislature at any time before a new set of
members are elected, as being out of place
and useless. 80 * 80 ssss.5i : e.
4. That this County should have all her
truly loyal men enfranchised, and to that
end, we will unite with other Counties in
petition to the next Congress to have the
disability removed of such only as have been
devoted to the flag of the United States.
5. That we regard W. w HOLDEN as an
able advocate of the principles of free gov
eminent, and we assure him that his 1abors
in our behalf are highly appreciated.
20. That q copy of these resolutions be
sent to the North Carolina Standard for pub
