I -According to previous notice, a large and respect-
able number or the citizens of the county of Lin-'
coin, without respect of party assembled in the
' court-house" in Lincolnton, on Saturday; Dec I;
1860, for, the purpose of taking intd consideration
! the present distracted condition of our country,
j ..On motion of Geo Da niej Seagle, O C Hender-
sonrEsq, was called to-the chair,' nd A Costaer
ana, v A flictfee, were requested- to- act as sec
retaries.
,,-VBy reqacst.Wm "Lander, ..Esq, explained the
object of the meeting; and offered for the consid
eration thereof the following preamble and resolu
tions, viz:
Whereas, It is now apparent to the most com
mon observer, that a crisis the most alarming to
our country, is near at hand. And, whereas, the
present unhappy condition of the country has been
brought about by a series of injuries and insults
inflicted upon the Southern States of this Union
for a number of years by the abolitionists of the
North. And, whereas, the recent election of
purely sectional men to the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States, upon a platform
inimical to the vital interests and destructive to the
future hopes of the Southern States of this con
federacy, in addition to the many other wrongs
heretofore perpetrated upon the South, warn us
that we are now at the mercy of a dominant and
fanatical majority, the declared views of which, if
carried out, will destroy all the future hopes of the
South, and inevitably bring upon us ruin and dis
grace. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we have read with great pleasure
the patriotic sentiments contained in the late Mes
sage of His Excellency, John W Ellis, Governor
of North Carolina, on the subject of our Federal
Relation, and fully endorse the views contained
therein. We request the Legislature of North
Carolina now in session to carry out the objects
recommended in said Message, and hereby specially
instruct our immediate representatives in that body
to use their exertions to accomplish this object.
Resolved, further, That we, as law abiding citi
zens, ask for nothing moe and will submit to noth
ing less than a perfect equality in the Union; and
to effect this object, we have been and still are
willing to make every sacrifice and use every ex
ertion which patriotism and honor will justify; but
failing in this, and without equality in the Union,
we shall demand independence out of it; and for
the vindication and maintenance of that indepen
dence, '-we hereby pledge our lives, our fortunes,
and our sacred honor."
'Whereupon, V A McBee, John Coulter and
Henry Cansler, each, in a few and pertinent re
marks, approved and advocated said resolutions.
And, upon motion of H Cansler, Esq, said resolu
tions were and unanimously adopted.
And, upon motion of H Cansler, Esq, the fore
going proceedings were ordered to be published in
the newspapers of Charlotte, and other papers in
the State requested to copy the same.

concludes along article; ,..,.' . ,j. -.-'. ,
; "General , Scott fortunately - is t a j Virginian.'
Should armed force become necessary, we should
not send a roan from the North against 6outh
Carolina.'
We should gather the chivalry of Ken-
tucky , the patriotic '".citizens of Tennessee:4 Vir
ginia and North Carolina, who are not maddened
by this hasheesh of sedition, , that, if possible' it
might be suppressed without bloodshed The re

head of the Government in such times, so brave
and clear-headed a man as Abraham Lincoln."
This is a very nice and comfortable programme.
The enemies of the South are to sit comfortably in
their parlors while the people of the South cut
each others' throats. Without entering into the
political question of secession, we think the Bul
letin is much mistaken if it expects any part of
the South to play the part of police and Jack
Ketch upon its own countrymen, whether North
or South. The Union sentiment is strong in Vir
ginia; the opposition to secession and nullification
embraces many of our most intelligent and reflect
ing minds; but the idea of bloody domination
and compulsion is a plant that does not take kind
ly to Southern soil. Virginia would not desire to
bathe her sword in Northern blood, even if those
Northern States which have nullified the law should
also secede from the Union. She cannot be expect
ed to have less clemency for her Southern than for
her Northern brethren. Richmond Dispatch.
Good Advice from the Right Quarter.
The N. Y. World, (independent Republican,)
says
"The North has been the leader in wrong cour
ses, and nothing would now become her so much
as to be the leader back to the old true positions."

The vote of Wilson is counted with Edgecombe, Nash
and Wayne. The vote of Alleghany was not seat to
Raleigh, and the vote of Bladen and Madison was in
correctly returned the returas merely stating so many
votes for Bell and Breckinridge, without naming the
Electors. The vote of these three counties would have
increased Breckinridge's maj. over B.ll to about 4,000;

It will be seen by the above that Mr. Lincoln,
although elected President, falls at least 800,000
short of a majority of the people of the United
States.
A rough estimate indicates that Breckinridge
has a majority of 75,000 over Bell and 25 or
30,000 over Douglas. Douglas does not carry a
State in the Union.
JBagfA correspondent writing from Columbia, S.
C, says:
People here and in Charleston scrutinize drum
mers and agents for Northern houses very closely,
and they find but little favor. Not a few of them
in registering their names at the hotels pretend to
hail from Baltimore, which they consider a good
shield. So far as 1 have been able to learn, there
is no disposition at present to strike bargains with
this species .of tradesmen in the latitude of South
Carolina.
The Bank or Norlh Carolina. The quar
terly statement of this Bank for Oct. 20th, is pub
lished. It shows S3,033,502 of notes discounted ;
1,586.1 84 of bills of exchange; 849 571 due by
banks in other States; $413,733 of specie;
8269,904 of notes of other banks; 8221,324 of
profits; 8485,951 of deposits, and 8418,443 duo
the State Treasurer ; S051,784 due to banks;
81,185,420 notes in circulation.
From the above it appears that the bank has
nearly one dollar in specie for every wo and a
half dollars of circulation; whilst of specie and
bills of exchange (which are better than specie
when they are at maturity,) it has nearly two dol
lars for nearly every dollar of circulation. Its cir
culation is not half as much as its capital.
aGen. Jo. Lane has addressed a letter to the
Breckinridge club of New York, about public
affairs. He takes the ground that the rights of the
South have been menaced and impaired, and its
equality in the Territories destroyed by the same
North which retains on its Statute Books nullify
ing ordinances. He expresses his opinion that
unless these wrongs are promptly remedied, the
dissolution of the Union cannot be averted. He
denies the right of the Federal Government to use
force compeling the submission of a sovereign
State, when its rights have been repeatedly in
fringed, and equality refused to it. The Union
he argues, was not formed by force, and can never
be sustained by force.
Secretaries Cobb, Thompson and Floyd, it is
well understood, hold views identical with those of
Gen, Lane.
iQrTIie New Orleans Delta says that a large
batch of Harper's Weekly, received by J. C. Mor
gan & Co., bearing the likeness of Lincoln, were
returned to the consignor. The Delta regards this
as a sensible act of non-intercourse which the South
should appreciate.
Stock Raisino in Texas G. W. Kendall,
writing to the New Orleans Picayune from Texas,
speaking of those who have emigrated to that
State for the purpose of atock-raising, and failed in
their extruvagant calculations by reason of their
own fault, says: If thy will come to our State
with the settled determination of watching close,
working hard, aud having a little patience, they
can reap a rich harvest in the way of profits by
stock raising, the business I came here expressly
to follow. As regards my success at sheep raising
I can say that for the last four years, ending May,
1860, 1 have realized a clear profit of 75 per cent,
per annum on the amount invested, and my pros
pects for the ensuing year are equally flattering, as
my flocks never were in better condition, at this
season." .
Important to Farmers. Upon the question
of "how much pork will a bushel of corn make ?"
Mr Richard Thatcher, of Pennsylvania, gives in
the New York Tribune, the result of feeding scald
ed or cooked corn meal, in several instances, to
fattening hogs. The result of one trial gave six
ten and one half Dounds of oork for each bufhel
