Roll of townships called all - townships responded. i j On motion a committee of one from each i township was appointed by the chairj with directions to present to the Coavenr tion, the names of gentlemen as candid ates to canvass and oppose State Conven tion. ' 1 - On motion a committee of one froni 1 each township was appointed by the chair to prepare and present resolutions express ive of the sentiments of the meeting. VPendin the report of the committees,,' Gen. W. D Jones and Col. S. T.Carrow r addressed :the meeting in opposition td Convention. '"-. jQa-behalf of the committee on resolu- tions, Mr.: James H. Harris offered thd ' following , resolutions andurged their adoption in a speech of some length, after which, the resolutions were adopted : J Resolved, 1st. That inasmnch as the; pending'proposition to call a Convention . wis not passed by theiconcurrence of two4 . thirds of eachEouse of the Gt neral Assem bly as required by the Constitution, the r-movement is revolutionary and calculated, to precipitate the State into disturbed re , lations1 with the National Government; to; 'produce a conflict between the jurisdic-' tion and the authority of two setts of county and State officers ;and thus lead to aj condition1 of general strife and turmoil,' dangerous to the, State and the people. 2nd. That the inauguration of so im1 portant a movement by the Legislature without having prfeviously apprised the people of such purpose at' the election jireceeding, so as to gather through thei ballot box some intimation of tiie popular vill, is impr cedented in the political his . tiory of the State, except when rebellion and revolution were designed and it ought to- be rebuked as an unwarranted and d.ingerous assumption of authority and an attempt to hurry the people into ill advised and untimely measures, the scope and purpose of which they have not fully considered audi have reason to distrust.; ), 3rd. That the avowed purpose of renioy ! ing the present Judges, of the State, and of putting in their places, other men whose opinions are either 'unknown or in "expressed! opposition to the Homestead Exemption as now enjoyed by the people, makes the calling of a Convention a virtual destruction of -the benefits now conferred by that wise and humane feature in our" Constitution, and will result in depriving ttto poor- nf ir hoinea, for the benefit o? heartless creditors 'who have refused tq release or compromise debts, which the sad results of the war render it impossible to pay without reducing whole families to -abject poverty and want. v t 4th. That in the present unsettled statg of public affairs, and in view of the fre quent adoption during the past several years oi measures precipitate ana - unex- i)eeted, and m bad faith to the masses of tne people, it is lmpruuent anu nnsaie to hazard our rights, and the peace and wel- r t 1 r 'r T . i 11 a.1 i ? i , .... -i . . --i i a? - a -i I iare oi our iamines uy placing mem in the power of a body of men whose charac- ter, views and purposes, cannot be known -beforehand. , j 5th. That if any amendments to the ' Constitution be desirable, they should be . submitted to the people separately, by the Legislative mode so wisely and consider4 ately provided in the old, as well as in the ' present Constitution of the' State.', 1 ; 6th. That we see with regret that th revolutionary party are still disposed to use "force, intimidation and threats, to carry out their designes, instead of allow- -ing free expression of opinion at the bal- lot box. : 1 ' ;. 7th. That candidates for the Conven 1 tion, (in case it be called) be nominated by this meeting and requested to canvass the county against , calling the Conven tion, and that we will exert ourselves by all proper means to defeat such call. A. Dr. T. F.i Banks, on behalf of the ConW - mittee on Nominations made the follow-. Ming .report: - . . I ; -v Philhps, James H. Harris, Robert VV. Wynne and Robert S.

Another Hoke and Henderson case : will be the result, , and no one can doubt how the Court will decide. It will - 1 decide that, m the language of the great and learned Ruffin the Convention was -an unauthorized body, and therefore, no more than a voluntary collection of so nnorinr l,:rnrrc will t li nn toot rna rnoa many men" 'that it's acts being void could derive no confirmation from a vote of the people." So in either event the whole work of the Convention will be set aside, and all the money expended upon it will be added to the taxes of the people, already overburdened with taxation. Let the people ponder these things well, for ' they are the words of truth and soberness.- they If they would escape trouble let them vote against the present iiticonstitutional Con vention, and wait for the .call of a consti tutional one. They will net, have to wait very lone, and in the meantime several L Jimportant . amendments can Be; cheaply and safely made by the legislative mode. Old. 2?orth Statu. A ie Negro was Created Blaek - That the negro was formed for the cli mate of Africa,., the whole structure of his body unites to prove. First, as a protect tioh to the brain, against the direct rays of the sun, the hair is made to grow short and curly, and is furnished . with a skull of enormous thickness. In no other being -. . . . n . . t . do we see the wisdom oi tne ureator more clearly exhibited than in the construction , rm - t r t r . oi the Aincan. l ine soles oi nis ieet are overlaid with a thick layer of fat j-a bad conductor of heat thereby enabling him to walk at his ease, over the burning sands, and forming for him a far better contri vance than the art of man could devise. And now you may ask, why did God make the African black ? I answer, in . order that he may be able to Tteep cool in , that torrid climate. A black surface will ra- diate or part with heat much more rapidly than a white one, an experiment that any one may try. Take two vessels that are in every respect the same two ' tea o ;s" for instance. ' Let one. of them be. covered over with .lampblack, then fill them with boiling water, and you will find the black one win ie coia mucii sooner man tne bright one. I believe , all scientific men agree that, since the creation of .man, . a large tract of country, stretching out from Africa to 1 New , Holland, has . been, sub-, merged, and is now covered "by tiIndi'an Ocean. This would readily account, for the negro being an inhabitant of that coun try, and such a change must ave ,. very much modined tne climate 01 Australia. j have no doubt thatf in past ages j, the different races of meninust havie .been far TTinrA Tiim'prni'i9i thn' at.

Since the emancipation 01 the slaves the planters in the South nave been obliged to make use of machinery to cultivate the soil, but it was found upon trial that very few of the agricultural implements used in 'I the North were perfectly' adapted to cul ture in the .
