(■RAND BtI.LV :
Tiro citizens of Carroll county arc re
spectfully requested to meet at Carroll
ton, on Monday, tho 19th inat., to take
mirne action in relation to the impending
crisis in which wo fiud our beloved
■ State.
Wo believe the time has come when
all should unite in our common cause,and
tako decided action ; for weean hope lor
nothing good any longer in the Union,
with a people who have elected a candi
’ date to the highest office in the gift of
tho American people.on principle* which
would prove the iuin of our section. To
:y, •• Wait for some overt act,” is the
greatest folly.
Who, iD the Empire State ol tho South,
is willing, longer, to submit to a people
who have become traitors to tho Consti
jtuti-m, to their own conscience, ami lo
: the country, made war npi n the separate
institutions of tho slave holding States,
i which under tho provisions of Ihe Solemn
Compact, they had no right whatever to
! touch ? who have urged on domestic in
! suijcetiou in some of our States, promo
ted an armed” invasion of the soil and
sovereignty, who lolled bells, and Bred
guns when iho fc-’ous yielded up then
lives to an outraged law ? A people wh°
have, time and again, res’sted the exccu’
lion of the fugitive slav* Law, forgot
that they were bound by oath to support
the Constitution, and w ho have endeavor
|cd to degrade tho people of our section
! by refusing ‘ us an equal enjoyment ol
the Territories ol the Union acquired by
tho common blood am! treasure of all'
This series ol unmitigated wrongs and
it suit* l>nve continued for a siceos-ion
ts years, each in open violation of the
Constitution.
No pretence is made that the South
|cm Sta’es ever .ought, in any wav, to
’ interfere with the domestic correct ns ol j
, tho In ot them Statu*, or to f..reu upon
them onr institutions, or above all, to
deny them any right uu ler the Constitu
tion.
There lias never before, in our humhlo
; op'Liot', been a people who submitted to
as long a id dark a catalogue of wrongs
las w o of the South ; but we are now of j
the opinion that the day lias dawned for J
her deliverance, if we will bo bill turn to
! ourselves. Let us shake off party
; shackles and step forward in one solid
plmlanx, and say to the world, “We
know our right*, and dare maintain
them.'’
Some there mo, we fear, who will say,
“Wait!!’ Wait for what? we aak.
Wait, when you 6ec your enemy wiili a
lighted torch at your dwelling ? Wait,
I when you see tho assassin creeping steal
i thily upon you? Wait, when you see
and near your enhimos lodging the chains
! and manacles with which yon are to be
bound ? Listen not to the syren song,
hut let us stand firm and immovable up
on our rights, and there resist to the hi:
; ter end ; and in our humble judgment
the < Soddess of Liberty will again find a
resting place in our own dear and beloved
i .South, where in n!I future ages she w ill
j guide us upward and onward in our
course of greatness. We wII be the
wonder and admiration ot the world
I here are no people on (vod’sgreen earth
who have noire souiecsof wealth and
j power, than we of tho South ; and it is
for ns to ray whether we will cast them
! oIT and become slaves and vassals.
Then wc say, Come one, come all, and
! let us tnko a position, and forget past
I party strifes. Wo are all together now,
land let us all more together in harmony,
land all will he well. It is no time to
! dally or dodge. Come out, then, and
show tli® world where you stand. Lot
us do our duty and leave the result with
the God of nations.

Ibiycn was Serenaded this evening lit a large
concourse of citizens, and replied i:i substance
as follows:
1 thank you for this manifestation of kind- ‘
ness, and ultnhuic it to the deep interest vou !
take in tile pr. .sent cOlldtliou of alt.iirs ; and,!
indeed, the coliditiou of our couutry is such
as to deinalid tile earnest c nnid. ration ol
every lover thereof. In all human prohahil
l y the nominee of the Black It-publican par
tv i at this moment elected President of the
Ciiin-d Suites.
From this fact ariseSkhc greatest qu- sti m
wliicit we, the ponplu of South Carolina, can
possibly be called npon to decide- on- vvli ch
I li-pe we will consider and riot rmine among
ourselves in a spirit of fraternal k ndiie-.sy with
all due allowances for the opinions of all clas
ses of our people, w hatever th se opinions
may be. In uiy opinion, the South cannot
submit to the election of Lincoln, because lie
is the nominee „fa seciiomil piriy a parly
confined altogether to the Northern section
of this confederacy.
It was not into such a Union that our an
cestor* entered—it was not a I'tiioii of one
section dominant over anutb-r, that Washing
ton, Madison, Rutledge, and other great men
entered, and if there is no other objection,
this alone Would be sutlicient. Why stay in
a Union where we arc to be subjected to an
other section? Thu is not the only objection
to this party, lb sides being s-cti-.unl. it i- a
party filled vsill l animosity to the South and
her institutions it is a party which hates us,
and would delight in our ruin —a party which
I ~,'nld rejoice to ee e the torch applied to our
dwv,’hugß
To suet, a party why should wc submit? If
we submit to thus. will submit to even
greater evils. It is a party founded upon a
system destructive to our who!**octa! fabric,
and which would reduce the o,.uiHi f| il South
to a howling wihleincsS. Can wo Su*."'-? ‘°
such a parlv ? 111 inv opinion, we should n.'t
aek il that party hales us. I tell you in, |
|in>of ot wlut I say, you cun refer to lln ir so- I
cietiea. Look to tlieir press, and their public I
speakers ; look to tlieir sympathy, expressed, .
not only by mobs and violence, bin. by repre
sentative bodies, in th-ir couris of justice, a
evidence of this. There you fiiid the John
Brown feeiing. The bell* toll with all the
pomp and circumstances of pageantry, us if a
great martyr had suffered.
When we remember what Brown intended,
wo understand tlieir sympathy towards us.
The question then is, what are we to do? In
my opinion, the South ought nut to submit.
If you intend to re*isl, the way to resist in
earnest is to act, the way to enact revolution
is to stare it in tho face. 1 think the only
policy for us is to unu a* so-n at we leceive
authentic intelligence of tile election of Lin
coln. It is for South Carolina, in the quick
est manner, and by the most direct m-uns, to
withdraw from this Union Then w will not
submit, whether tlr *thcr Southern Suites
will act with us or or with our enemies.
They cannot take sides with our enemies;
they must take fide- with us. When an an
cient philodftrher w ished to inaugurate a great
revolution, h;s motto was to dure! to dare!!
Mr idea then is that our policy is to dare’ to
dare!!
Mr. Itovce was followed by Gen. Win. E.
Martin, Col. Cuuntnghain. Simpson, Kichatd

mit to the election of Lmcutu is to consent to

“Marseilles / “ To .< to”
