| AtOnAhWEST OESTRICT, I
BRUNSWICK, N. c., Aug. 30, 1868.
Wessrs. Editors The people of North
West Il mean the good, not the Morrill,
men of tho District), having always been
thoroughly disguised with Radicalism, have
again assumed their armor for the contest
with the determination to win mot by
fraud and prescription by way of retalia
tion) but by just and honorable ballotation
on the day of election.
The District being large it was thought
necessary to form several clubs. and to-day
the fourth one, I believe, was organized at
Black Rock, when the following proceed.
ings were had:
On motion, F. Hudler was called to the
Chair, and D. G. Allen requested to act as
Secretary. The object of the meeting hay
ing been explained, on motion of S.
Lloyd, Esq, committee of four as ap-
pointed to report permanent officers for
the club. This committee having retired,
the Chairman, upon motion, appointed a
committee on resolutions, consisting of
the following gentlemen J. M. Bryan, H.
Lloyd and w. FL. King, who subsequently,
through their Chairman, j. nj. Bryan, re-
ported the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted, to wit
1st That we most cordially approve of the
platform adopted by the Democratic Convention
which assembled i'll New York on the 18th day of
July, 1868.
I'd. That the efforts of said party to overthrow
the Radical party, now in control of the govern
ment under which we live, deserve the aid aud
support of every good citizen OF this country
Sd. The usurpations of the Radical Congress
have already converted the Government of our
forefathers into a central despotism, and if this
party is permitted to continue in power, the last
yestige of the Republican Government will be oh
liberated.
4th. The people of Black Rock do cordially en-
dOrse the nomination of Horatio Seymour for
President and Frank r. Blair for Vice-President
OF the United States, and pledge themselves to
use all fair and legitimate means to secure their
success.
5th. That the good citizens of North West, and
we most honestly believe of the entire country,
do most earnestly protest against, and disapproyc
OF, the proscriptive, ruinous and eXtravagant
Legislation OF Holden's General Assembly, and
particularly Of the course OF our selfconstituted
representative, whose per dieno during the recess
OF the Legislature, we had far rather pay and
have him in Raleigh than to have such man
among US.
9th. That the proceedings of this meeting be
published in the Journal and Star, of Wilmington.
All the whites present and one colored,
Charles Gowen, q mechanic and O man of
excellent sense, furnished their names to
the Secretary as members of the Club.
When the Committee, through their
Chairman, reported the following perma-
nent officers
For President-Joseph Green, Esq
Vice-Presidents-S. Lloyd and Saml A.
King.
Secretaries-Hardy B. Willis and D. G.
Allen,
Who were unanimously chosen by the
Club.
