On motion <d K. (5. Ake.. the Hon. A. (7. Mak
ers, was caller] to the Chair, and Sasn’l Edmond
son, Esq., was appointed Secretary. The object
of the meeting was then briefly and appropriately
explained by the Chair; and, on motion, the meet
ing proceeded to elect two persons from each town
ship, as a committee to draft reseluirons erpres

Tims. McCarron; from Marion. Th<«. Y erilcn and
\\ m. Crosby; from Sugar Loaf, ReubenC-okerund
YY rn. Stafford; from Big Creek, F. G. Ake and Jno.

their absence, J. YV. Vnndi-Yer, Esq., offered fh>
following resolutions, on Federal Relations, to.
wit:
1. ResnlrrJ, That tin- democracy of the count)
of Sebastian, lire strongly and firmly attached to
the l moil, so long as the southern States can be
guarantied in their constitutional rights and equal
privileges under the fed. rai compact.
2. ft'eolrrtl. That they look upon the measures,
usually termed the Compromise mi a. nires, in which
llii whole of the territory acquired bv the Mexican
war was given to the North as a surrender of the
lights of the South, and do approve the course pur
sued by our delegation in Congress, in opposing and
voting against said measures:
n<iunreil, I lull wink' they teel tint a del p
injury lias beeu inflicted nu ttu coii.titulioual
rt'hts of the slave holdout States, by the passage
of said measures, tin y are vlvilliug to tolerate them,
as i liey have become laws, rat her than no for a dis
sulutum of the L’niou, if the northern States fully
ami faithfully enrry out the provisions of the fugi
tive-slave bill.
■1. Kfoirrd. That no further aggressions of the
North on the rights of the South—no modification
of the fugitive slave fill, anas to make it less effi
cient in obtaining the return ofJi.gjtives ftooiser
viee, can or nrcgtit to ne su’om .ttcd t«by the South;
and to secure the Union it is necessary that its pro
vramus not only remain unchanged, but that they
be faiilifullvcarried out and executed.
On motion of Judge Clark, the question was
taken upon f ai l, resolution s, paratcly. The first
resolution was adopted unanimously.

and that we believe it to ft the duty of all good
citizens, to give those measures their candid snp
port, and regard th. m as a final settlement of all
causes for further citation of the slave question.
W hich was, on motion ot IS, T. Duval, Esq., re
jected.

o'Uily demanded what they could have for dinnt r, ■
The landlord with many apologies, told them he 1
1 had nothing hut bread and dice sc to offer them.
‘ 1 am extremely sorry, gentlemen,’ said the land-1
ion!, much embarrassed, ‘ but-’
‘ How d’ye moan, sir" interrupted the mast,-r of
the hunt, uqperiousiy—< liy h—-4i! 1 don’t under- i'
stand th.s. Gwllliara! Nothing bot bread and cheese ;

j , They ail swore they smelt it.
! * Why, that’* very true, gentlemen/ said the j
landlord, still m re etnlmrasaed; ■ there certainly;
I .s a shoulder of mutton on the fire, and f wish !
with ml my heart 1 could let your honor* have it,
!>nt unfortunately it is bespoken by au Irish gen

i ‘A what? An Irish gem!eMail did you say,
GwiiUam?’ roared out the master with a coiitcmp- '
tons suojr.
• Yes. sir, and-’
Here the landlord was interrupted by a perfect
‘mouth quake’ of laughter, in which the whole
. trio joined.
* Pray, what is this Irish gentleman like!* de- ,
matided the .-quire tie soon au he could speak; 'hat '
he been long caught! Has he lost his tail yet’—
Oh, for heaven sake, do tell us ! has he lost his
tail yet, G william;’
‘ Aye, hits be 1 mt his tail yet, Gwltliaml' echoed .1
the othrii, and again they ill laughed most out- (
Mgeo.usig. •
‘ Indeed, geuUcmen,’ began the perplexed laud- ,
lord. ' ;>
■ No more of this,’ said the sqtiiTe, cutting him i,
short, ‘ unless you mean to make us sick, sir. (So 1
send the mutton into us, and let this Irish gentle- ('
man have a w !ch rarebit. And d’ye hoar,’ con
tinued be, pulling out a line old family repeater,
and pnPimr it uitotlie landlord’s baud, “ take this t
into him, with my compliments, and ask him if be I
can ten what tune of day it is by it. Go—go, sir!
do as I command you, or it shall be the worse for ,
you, 1 promise you!’
The landlord, who durst not disobey, after many ’
apologies, delivered the watch with the message
to Kowan, who had overheard every word that had *
piesst d.
Perhaps the squire could not have selected a , '
worse subject for this gratuitous insult than Ham- 4
ilion Kowan, .who seizing one of his traveling pis- ’
tola which iay m the window, immediately joined ’
the trio, who were enjoying themsedvesand laugh
ing heartily at the- joke.
‘ Gentlemen,’ said Row an, with great severity. •
I an; sorry to inter mo* your mirth. I delight in a ' ■
joke myself, especially when it’s a good one. But
the fact is our landlord here wlu> must either he |
drunk nr a dreaming, or Imth, ha* just brought me •
a message which he uliirms lie was ordered to tie- j
liver to rue by some gentleman in this room. Now, ( |
though I cannot for a moment xupjunc any peraon , .
present/ continued Kowan, fixing his eyes on the : ’
'squire,-*.' guilty of so blackguard,an act, 1 must
reijueft as a mere matter of form, to know wheth
er any gentleman here did send ine this watch
with any such message. I’ll thank you for an im
mediate answer, gentlemen/ added Rowan, exam
ining the pruning of his pistol, ■ for th.-it is a deli- '
cion* little shoulder ot Welsh mutton, just roasted, *
that I am anxious to pay my respects to.’
Perceivin' them all dumfounded, Kowan de- 1
manned of each in succession whether he was the *
owner of the watch. |'
They all reply in the negative. 1
‘ Most exlraordinory,’ said Rowan; then calling '
to the landlord, he asked him if the watch be- ;a
longed to him. | ”
‘ To me, sir? No, sir” replied the man in great '
astonishment.
‘ Do you know any person, then out ( f this room s
to whom the watch belongsT demanded theimper- ’ 1
turbable Rowan. ; '
‘ Out of this room, sir?’
‘ Aye, ml of this room, sir! Have tin goodness ;!!
to look this way, and speak without hesitation, to v
the point, sir!’ i 4
‘ No, sir: certainly, sir, I don’t know any person !
out of this room to whom that watch belongs,’ re- i *'
plied the landlord.
‘ Very well, sir; now go on and serve the mut- 1
ton up. Well, upon my honor, now that is mighty
comical,' continued Rowan as soon us the land 1
lord had h ft the room; * here’s a watch which be 1
longs to nobody out of the room: not even to the , r
person from whose hands I received it. Well, 1 11
must keep it, I suppose, until a c aimaut star’s tip, 1

ANECDOTE OF IKASCII T. AKCHES, Or TEXAS.
In the Fall of 184ft, Mr. Archer was a young
Virginia lawyer of some note. Qniag to Powhatan
lourt-house on bnaimn, he accidentally met Gen.
"rump, a small, sharp-featured gentleman, with
lereing dark eyes, thin lips, ami a nose nke an
agio’s beak, w as cool, sar< astic, ami aUmnmr as a
r**P- There might be read the history of a doaen
uels in the sneer that writhed like a snake in its i
oil around the corners of his mouth, as every sen
rate word issued through his teeth with a shrill
ud menacing hiss. He never seemed to forget one |
istant that he was the most famous dmtl a /tot m
'irginia. In conversation with Crump about a
nit in which they were opposing counsels, the,
liter made oflensivt remarks, or insinuations, of
'hicli Mr. Areher desired an explanation.
" 1 have no explanation to make,’’ said Crump,
nd he set his keen eyes upon the other, as if he
on Id slay, him with a glance. The look was a
’mmi murder.
Archer threw his entire soul into one stern sen- i
tnee—
*• Then I demand of you to r tract the inMiiua
ons you have made against my motive!”
“ I shall add fifty more of the lire I before 1 re
act that!” said t rump, with a sneer, and turn
ig on his heel, he remarked, ” 1 am going to my I
sun at the hotel to wait for your communication, i
you have any for me.”
Col. Archer’s friends gathered in a cluster
Found him, entreating him that he would not sac
flee his life to the bullet of a duelist whore nitn
as sure and deadly. Hut he would not he per- *
taded—he would punish Clump, or perish in the I
Ltempt. A formal challenge was soon passed and
i-cepted, and the meeting was arranged to tranr- '
ire ai sunrise the next meriting, ou the summit of
bill two miles west of Towbatau Court-house,
t the time and place designated, a great throng
allecletl 10 witness the combat. Crump and Ar- I
her had both, arrived at daybreak, and saluted
ach other coldly through the i»le hare of twilight,
i ith the golden gl.mpse of the sun, the princi- i
»ls were stationed in position by their seconds,
ud all hearts in the multitude vibrated with
Iraiige feelings, almost fear, n determined and
i ad y were the countenances of the two foes, at
foiigh the expressions on their faces, individually,
'ere very different. Crump’s »iaag>- wore the
’on hing sneer of n devil, sure of his prey, but the
riie eyes of Arclu r seemed surcharged with the
.........v. »•»>«/ i wr i’lvro,
i»- two pistol* roared simultaneously; Archer's
ullet gm*oJ Crump’s left temple, but hits own ‘
*bt arui fell shattered to bis sale.
“ Hi ■ 1 hate wi! ged my gmue!” cried Crump, I
i tones of mocking triumph.
“ Yes! but I have still a wing remaining at your
.■nice!” sho tted Archer, spiting bis other arm
i the face of his enemy, arid demanding an addi-1
oiidi round. _
Again the weapons of de*atb went tomWd, and
te partu s took their places. Archer must bans
uen sulfamic an agony of pa:u. Hearts of cold
ater rolled from his forehead; the Mood streamed
own from his wounded arm, and stood in puddle*
bout his feet; his features were white as marble;
‘ while* that he might have been mistaken for a
beat and. indeed, there appeared ever) r« aaori to
ippooe that he would really be a ghoet at’the
e\t explosion of Crump's pistol. Yet he c„w
0 evidence of tear. Looking his antagonist rcso
■teiy ill the face, he exclaimed;
“ General, you now have every advantage. 1
itt forced, by necessity, to use my left hand, and
' you were not a coward. yoaw ikt dot hi ••
tfuick as thought. Clump changed the weapon
'tan the* right hand to the left, arid mursettiatciy
le word ff> lire was repeated. At the sound of ihe
istofa, I'Olli t nrinn s fell. Archer had fainted from ’
las of Mood, the effect of hit pres iotta wound, but

A very beautiful young man, with a white face,
and wrapped in a w hdo robe, once wad.- his »p
p. aranee in their naff u, and con wand-d them to
abandon ail their ohl Ct. »oms arid Uwuvi-lx, ami
to adopt a new religion. He made use of the suft
1 rl language and . v lythnig he did proved him to
te a ro-xl Oran. It so happened, however, that he
could make no friends among them, and the medi
t 'lie men of the nation i .inspired to take away his
life. In ti'iiuy ways did they try to do this—by
ashuig nun with si rjieiiis, rnu! by gmug turn po»
mn, but wer> ^Iways niruet ,*sful. But in pro
i ess ol time, x,ie deed w as ntcotnpltshed, and in
the following manner.
It was know n that lire goodstranger was in daily
habit of visiting a certain spring for the onrno;.
r i queue mug lu.s thust, and bathing Ins body. In
view of thin (act, th< magician* made a very beau
tiful war-cheat, inlaid with sonic mud-shells, and
decorated with rattle", and this etieft Tttev offeitd
to the Of, at Spirit, with the prayer that He would
****** them bow tod* troy the stranger. In answer
b« the prayer, a venomous snake wan created, and
carefully i.aiden uv . r a leaf by tbi- aide of the
tpruig. The stranger, as usual, came their to
liruik, was bitten by the snake, and perished*—
The Cherokee naUni theft fell m love with the
