Year: 1859




vile ON the 25th of October, where resolutions were
adopted against the Harpers Ferry outrage Also,
strong resolutions endorsing our present worthy
State Executive, and recommending his reelection
Resolutions were adopted comnaendatory of our
worthy Chief Magistrate, James Buchanan and also
one strongly condemning Stephen A. Douglas Ter

Ten Delegates were appointed to attend district

State Convention to be held at Raleigh.
We also learn from the same paper that meeting
of the democracy of Madison county held at their
county seat on the 18th of October at which, reso-
lutions of similar nature with those of Yancey Co.,
were adopted, and delegates appointed above.
We give the Douglas resolution:

nterpose obstacles in the way of the concert and
harmony of the action Of the approaching National
Convention yet we are constrained from of

Some of our sensible Opposition exchanges think
it wrong for democrats make capital out
of the Harper Ferry instruction because the Black
Republicans have triumphanty repclled the idea Of
any connection with it. at the polls in New York
and New Jersey. Now this is strange logic; to us
it would seem that the Republicans have endorsed
Browns course, and those who endorse the vote of
the Black Republicans must acknowledge that they
indirectly coun.enance the "irrepressible conflict


writer to the New York Tribune intimates that
another Brown another noble, daring, heroic
Brown would add greater vote to the Republican
and crush the Black Democrats"


No wonder though it should be when we find
such bitter opposition to the Democracy in the
South
