IN sampson
At q meeting of the Conservatives of

appointing Richard II. Lee, Esq, Secre-
tary.
On motion, Committee was appointed
by the Chair to draft resolutions for the
action of the meeting.
The Committee reported the following
preamble and resolutions, viz:
WHEREAS, The dangers which threaten to de-
stroy all that is left of the Constitution of this
country are such as to call for the hearty coop
| Grafton of all the wel-meaning men of the coun-

gard to former political differences we do pledge
county of Sampson, and to give to them the hear
| ty support OF all, without regard to personal or
/ political preferences. Therefore,
| ReSOloed, That committee of one from each
district be appointed to select candidates for the
| approaching Convention.

The committee then retired, and Colonel
Allmand A. McKoy was requested to adj
dress the meeting. He said he was at
home, and he trusted that the meeting
would request speech from Col. Thomas
S. Kenan, of Duplin, and moved that a
committee of three be appointed to request
Col. Kenan to address the meeting which
was unanimous adopted-Col. McKov
promising to address the meeting until
4he committee could report. This he did
until the committee introduced Col. Kenan
to the meeting. The speech of Colonel
Kenan was a neat, striking and mas
terly exposition of the condition of the
country, at times stirring the souls of
his hearers with the sad recital of the
times at others waking an enthusiasm
which found expression in rapturous APP
plause. Well did he know the tender
chords to strike, and with the touch of
master he stirred all nature in his audience
swaying them by bright hopes from the
northern vote and arousing in them de-
termination to save the honor of their
country. His effort must and will do good.
