.; " We, a portion of the people of Warren, irre
spective of party, cordially unite in the iollowing
resolutions : : . . ' ':
Resolved, That the people, of the non-slave-;
holding States, by the recent 'election of a sec
. tional President, by immense 'majorities, - upon
! sectional principles, have manifested their unre
; lenting hostility to the institution of negro slave
i ry, as it exists in the Southern States, and their
I fixed determination to carry that hostility,.into
i every department ; of - the FederaljGovernment,
: and to exert all of its patronage and influence, and
' the large powers they attribute to it,for the ulti
; matejDverthrow of our social brganization.
Resolved, That this hostile feeling and purpose
i has been growing for many years,' as has been
: shown in the votes and speeches of their leading
! men, in the teachings of their pulpits and schools,
p in their literature and their State legislation. t
xle.sohed, That in view : of their j present sec-
tional majority, and of the still larger majority
Mrhich a successful yxclusion of, the S,buth from
i he. territories' must giye; the safety and bond of
bforth-Carolina requires such additional guaran
tees as will give her an absolute security within ,
the Union.. -. "X-,."- j ; '
. Hesolved, That whilst we have ever been de-
voted to a constitutionalUnion and are willing .
i ( try every . peaceable remedy, consistent with
he. honqV of North-Carolina, to preserve it, yet
j w.e- most solemnly declare that" we are determined
1 1 maintain our rights, and all of them, inUhe
ijnion ir possioie ana out oi is u necessary. . ,
Me solved. That the Constitution of the United
5 States is a compact between sovereign and inde-
ndent States, ahd 'all powers not' therein defe-
i a ted are reserved to the States respectively:
j hat among the attributes' of sovereignty retained
y the -several States, is that of watching overthe
; perations of the General .Government, and pro
jpcting her citizens from unconstitutional abuse
f-n 'the one band, and securing, to them on the
j ther a .strict fulfilment of the obligations.ini
) )sed by the Constitution upon the General Gov-'
I rnment. : , '' ' ' 4
'Resolved, That the people of North-Carolina,
f s an organized political community, have ' the?
fighf to withdraw : from the Union whenever a
rjajority, in Convention assembled, shall decide a
vitbdrawal necessaryto protect their-property or
persons from unconstitutional and 'Oppressive
I ! igisl ation by the General Government, or when-"
j i.ver by the failure of the General Government to
fjulfil her constitutional obligations, the people of
i t he State may deem such a step necessary in or-
jiler to secure the - enjoyment of .the rights, privi-
jeges, and protection- guaranteed to them by the
Constitution Of the United-States, and in such an
emergency a' majority of the people': of North
Carolina, acting through organized authorities of
the State, would.be entitled to the sole and undi
vided allegiance Of all her citizens. v
: Resolved, Jn the language of Nathaniel Macon
that 'a government of opinion, established by,
sovereign States, for special purposes, cannot be
maintained' by force' consequently that if a
State, in the exercise of her sovereignty, sejedes,"
and the Federal Government resorts to coercion,,
the Federal- Government makes the revolution,
and transforms the present Union into a military
I despotism, and should the General -Governmeat
.be guilty of the folly aud wickedness 01 drawing
the sword . againt the Southern State whose peo-
1 pie niay choose to reek that protection-out of the
! Federal IJnion,'. which is detiied to them" in' it,
then We of North Carolina would-owe it'tpour-
I selves, to the liberties we have inherited fro"m.our
j fathers to the peace f our ! homes and families,
Idearer ,us than all governments, to:. resist it to
j the last extremity, V ,.K ,'' t ' , 1
llesoved, 'lhat whilst. we detest, and are pre
! pared to resist at every hazzard pie encroachments
of the North upon us, we wuld most respect
I fully suggest' to our sister Southern States, to
; await the action of a Conventioh of a'l the South-,
i ern States, in order that when jit becomes Lecss
j sary to strike a blow .for our rights, we mjay ;act
in concert. "j; ' ; ;: - .j '
Resolved,- That we heartily approve the,, wise
and prudent suggestions of our Governor, John
1 W. Ellis, in his late Message iu regard .to our
i Federal affairs, a"nd especially! the -calling of a
p Convention cjf the people of North Carolina, at
an early : day, in order that they may determine"
! what position North Carolina is to occupy in this
j important crisis of her history, and we hereby
i recommend, and as far as m us lies, instruct our
p Senator and Representatives in the General As-
I sembly to vote for the calling of said Convention
of .the people, aud also to votf the most liberal
supplies necessary for furthering and carrying
out tbe patriotic recommendatibns of our .Execu
tive, for placing the State in 4 thorough posture
of defence.- '; -' , -

The following preamble -and resolutions were
unanimously adopted . by the citizens of this
county at a . large meeting held in Clinton, and
were forwarded to their, Senator Col. Thomas I.
Faison, with the request that they be laid before
the Senate: . ' .
Whereas, The uncertain condition of our civil
affairs threatening alike ihe liberty of our citi
zens, and the' destruction of our property, in our
opinion, calls for prompt action on the part of the
ci izens of North Carolina. , And deeming this a
proper time for a' fair expression of -our rights,
we maintain, 'that. Jorth-Carolina,' in common
with the.. thirteen independent colonies, entered
into. a compact for mutual protection and.defence,
reserving to themselves the absolute right to.con
trol, each one for herself, her : domestip Institu
tions: That in violation of the compact, many of
our sister States have refused to protect the pro
perty of the Southe-n States, and have passed
laws by their State Legislatures contrary to the
Constitution, and nullifying, the laws -passed by
Congress for the protection of the property of
many of the States: That the citizens of a part
of the States have been, and, we have every rea
son to believe, are' still, making every effort, by
all the means in their power, to incite our slaves
to rebellion and ; murder : That citizen's of the '
L outhern States in pursuit of their property have
oeen murdered, and the soil 01 a "Sovereign Stats
stained with the blood of her citizens attempting
to! defend themselves and their property from the
invasion of an armed band from States belonging
to the same Government with ourselves : That
all this and more; has been done against the earn
est protestation of the .Southern States : ;That
against pur solemn protest they have elected a
President whose whole course ot conduct and ex
pressions of opinion hive been, and are, at war
with the nearest and dearest rights of the South
ern people : , That as an!example of thieir opinions,
aims and purposes, he,; and his supporters, have
endorsed the sentiments, and contributed freely
by money and labor to the circulation of an in
famous publication, the design of which, if car
ried out, would set? the slaves as bloodhounds,:
upon the white race'of'thfi Southern States?
That we have borne all this for our love and ven
eration jfor the Union and Constitution until wo
believe ithe UniCn and Constitution have beed
perverted to means of oppression by designing
men, and no longer metes,ot to each State equal
ity and jjustice : Therefore, J.I"
Resolved, That wd believe in State Sovereign
ty, and that any Sovereign State has the right, to
secede from a' Confederated Government, when
ever a majority of her. citizens in conventioh met.
shall hold. that there has been-a violation of the
national compact! 1-H
Resolved, That wcinsfruct our representatives
in both Houses of the General Assembly to urge
the call, as soon as practicable, of a State Conven
tion, to deliberate as : to what course the State
should pursue in her present position of danger. -
Resolved, That we instruct our Representatives
in both Houses of. the General Assembly to urge
the early consideration and adoption of all neces
sary reforms; in the hiilitia system, and the im
mediate appropriated ot a sum sufficient, to arm
every free white man in the State. .
Resol ved, That, the Legislature be requested
to pass lawss .taxing: the manufactures ; ot the
Northern States so as to amount to a prohibition
of their introduction, against the States that dis-.
regard the rights of the citizens of this State in
their slaves.- , . I .

tain's district of. this county appoint a committee
of vigilance, and form companies of minute men
