A CARD.
I deem it proper thus early to announce to
my democratic friends who hav been kind
enough to express a desire to nouinate me as
a candidate for Congress, that cn reflection,
there are considerations of a domestic and
private character, needless to be obtruded on
tho pubb'e, which would constrain me to de
cline the nomination, should tbe honor be
tendered to me by the approaching Conven
tion at Clinton. In pursuing this course, per
mit me to express my gratitude to those who
manifest a wish again to honor ine with their
confidence, and my satisfaction that while
no one in the District is more devoted to
those political principles we cherish, many
can be found who will bring to their support
more experience and ability than myself.

terwards and forward them to us by mail.
On one return to Lincolntonwe publish
ed a general notice of the meeting, paying
merited compliments to Messrs. White, and
Lander, and promising to insert the resolu
tions in our next number. This notice, we
believe, was copied into the Standard, which
shows that a deep interest was at that time felt
in the proceedings of all public meetings.
We heard no more of the matter until, at
the Cleaveland court, we met Mr. White
who informed us that, not meeting us in
Shelby when he first r arrived there, he had
entrusted the proceedings to another person,
whom he afterwards said he had instructed
to furnish us with a copy. This was not
done at Shelby ; and when, on our arrival
home, we called and respeci fully asked for
the proceedings, we were denied permission
even to see them, arid 1 told, in so many
words, that we should not have them, unless
we copied them after they had appeared in
public elsewhere :
From this, our friends will perceive the
importance to us, and to them too, of for
warding directly to us by mail, or by the
hands of some reliable person, all communi
cations intended for this paper. That these
proceedings were intended for this paper,
will be seen by refering to the last resolu
tion which requires them to be inserted in
the Republican.
The proceedings of the meeting were as
follows :
MEETING IN GASTON.
Agreeable to previous notice, a public
meeting was held at the court house at
Dallas, in Gaston county, on the 24th
ult., when Isaac Holland, Esq. was called to
the chair, and James Furguson appointed
secretary. After the objects of the meeting
were fully explained by the chair, on motion
the following gentlemen were appointed
a committee to draft resolutions for the action
of the meeting, viz: Thos. P. McGiH' Jaiue3
31. Hanna, Jonas Deck, O. W. Holland, and
3Iajor Whitesides.
In the absence of the committee, the
meeting was addressed by James II. White,
one of the Representative from this county
in the last Legislature; he showed die man
ner by which the various schemes involving
the state were carried through; and that
they were parsed by an injudicious system
of log rolling, cumbering sectional appropria
tions with the Central rail road, when none,
or at least out tew ot . tiicm, coula nave
passed alone. He was followed by
m. Landr, Esq., who made a very
clear and forcible speech against the prin
ciple of sadling the people with a large pub
lic debt; the countenances of those present
showed that he spoke their sentiments, as
will be seen by the following resolutions
which were reported by the committee, and
passed unanimously:
Jiesolvcd. That we view with alarm , the
steps taken by the last Legislature to involve
the citizens of the State in a large public
debt, for the sectional and visionary schemes
of Internal Improvement, which if progres
sed in must be injurious and oppressive to
the great body of the people.
Resolved, therefore, lhat an additional
section ought to be added to the Constitu
tion of this State, providing that evtrjT law
zine, and we see the publishers Mitend to
maprove- upon it by having them engraved
and eplored.

t& Below will be found the proceedings
of the public meeting in Dallas, on Tuesday
of the Gaston Court; and, although we are
in no way accountable for the delay in pub
lishing them, yet we feel bound- to offer an
apology for their late appearance. We were
present at the 'meeting, and, at its close,
that true ' republican, Isaac Holland, sq.,
who presided, suggested that the proceedings
should be placed ia our hands for prepara
tions for the press. But, there being a di
versity of opinion upon the subject to which
the resolutions refer, we hesitated; Where
upon our friend, James II. White, Esq.,
very properly remarked that, if, ia revising
and transcribing; we should inadvertantly
alter the phraseology, it might subject us to
misconstruction ; and, to relieve us, he very
kindly undertook to revise them himself af.
the voters at such election. That all money
to be raised by the authority of such a law
to be applied to the specific object stated in
such law, and to no other purpose whatever,
except the payment of the debt thereby crea
ted or increased. Ihis provision should not
extend or apply to any law to raise money
for the ordinary purposes of btate Govern
ment, or the raising of money to suppress
insurrection, or repel invasion, or defend the
state in time of war. m
, fiesolved, That we, the sitizens of-Gaston
county, earnestly recommend to the citizens
of the other counties of this state, to co
operate with us in carrying out the foregoing
resolution.
Resolved, That we do not wish to be
understood as opposing all Improvements of
the State; we are not opposed to any practi-
cable scheme or schemes of improvements
being carried on by individuals, and we have
good reason to believe that there arO many
oi our citizens wno are possessed oi capital
that would willingly join in any plan that
would be useful and profitable but that we
deny the justice of taxing one portion of the
state for the benefit of another.
It was Resolved, That the proceedings of
the meeting be published in the Lincoln
