2. Rcjsohocl, That tho principle assorted
in said act on the question of slavery
is a subject of vital importance, upon
which southern men ought to unite.
3, Resolved, That the attempt on the
part of some of the states of the north
to interfere with slaver' in the south is
a flagrant violation of the constitution of
the United States, and fraught with in
calculable mischief to the people of this
State. . '
4. Resolved, That the preservation of
the rights of this State iu the peaceful
enjoyment of the domestic institution of
slavery is a paramount duty.
5. Resolved j That much praise is dut3
to the patriotic men who have boldly
maintained the compromises of the con
stitution in the midst of the infuriated
fanaticism of the North.
6. Resolved, That this State is deter
mined to resist any further encroach
ments upon her constitutional rights.
7. Rsohtd, That; in the event the
federal government repeal or impair the
efficiency of the provisions of the fugi
tive slave law, or refuse to enforce its
execution in good faith, it will amount
to a virtual dissolution of the Union:
and that it will become the duty of this
btate to take such measures as may be
required tor her safety and security.
8. Resolved, That if either of the
contingencies contemplated in the fore
going resolutions should arise during the
recess of the General Assembly, the gov
crnor be requested to convene that bo
dy, to the end thatthe rights of the
State may bc maintained.
9. Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be transmitted by the executive
to each of the senators and representa
tives in Congress from this State, to be
. laid betore their respective houses; and
also a copy to the governor of the res
pective States of the Union.

The attention of the reader is solicited to
the advertisement of Agents wanted for the
spimm of Pictorial books issued from the
press of Mr. Sears. These books have met,
and are meeting with a large sale through
out the Union, and the three latest publica
tions, "Russia Illustrated," "China axd
India," and "Turillixo Incidents in the
Wars of tue United States," ore in every
way equal to the other works in point of at
traction and interest. What he wishes to
obtain is, competent agents in. every section
of the country. The readiness of their sale
offers great inducements for persons to em
bark in their disposal, and as they are of a
high moral and unexceptionable character,
there arc none but who can conscientiously
contribute to their circulation. Any person
wishing to embark in the enterprizc, will
risk little by sending to the Tublisher .$25,
for which he will receive sample copies of
the various works, (at wholesale prices)
carefully boxed, insured, acd directed, af
fording a very liberal per centage to the A
gent for his trouble. With these he will soou
be able to ascertain the most saleable, and
order accordingly.

Price Curren idated 13th inst., stating
the freight on cotton per bale to New
York at 1 25, which is below the usu
al rate, making in that item, 50 c.
In a tariff of charges, established
bv Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce, there is a charge for re
ceiving and forwarding'goods by

ed, 12 perct. Now the freight
of a bale of cotton on the Kail

that amount is 6

Your correspondent has omitted a
charge for cartage from the depot to the
vessel or store. It may not be made,
but the expense is incurred, and I ex
pect is charged; if so, it will make the
expenses greater from Wilmington than
Washington; without that charge the
expenses are about the same.
At Washington cottou is stored in
good houses or sheds, and protected
from the weather. It may be so at
Wilmington, I do not know. W.

The Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce have resolved tobiiy and sell corn,
rye, oats, and meal by weight after the
1st of January, as follows: corn, 50
pounds to the bushel; wheat and rye,
60 pounds; oats, 35 pounds; and meal,
GO pounds to the bushel.
The Banks
We notice that our
cotemporarios
are justly excited at the course of a New
York Broker named Dye, the publisher
of a financi.il Journal, who, in his bul
letin of the 4th of this month, reports
the failure of the Commercial Hank of
Wilmintou, N. C, the IJauk of Wash -
ington, X. C, the Dank of Wadcsboro,
ar;d the Jank of Fayetteville. That
this is totally and scandalously untrue,
everybody who knows anything about
these Banks, knows. That this report
is jrotten up for the purpose of enabling
. c. . r I .3
brokers to buy their notes
at a large
discount, is equally certain.

known to upwards of five hundred Physi
cians, every one of whom, without a single
exception, have pronounced them excellent
medicines, compounded in accordance with
scieHtitic principles, and skilful phar

fact, that physicians generally oppose what
are termed "popular medicines," and this
fact speaks loudly in .favor of their candor
and the intrinsic merits of these valuable
preparations which are most appreciated:
where they arc best known, aud which are j
coming into very general usetVr the distres-

For diseases of the lungs and throat, Stab

safe and speedy remedy; while the Diarr

in giving relief.
