11. tfACKSOM McELKATil, June 2d, 1861. Chairman. For the Standard. Mr.

Editor I had the. pleasure of being a participant in the meeting held at William Uowan's on the 28th May. It was composed of the bone and sinew of the country. The best of order and good feeling attended our meeting ejery one thought it was good to be there. A committee "of three 'was appointed by the Chair to wait upon Lieut Taylor and' infdrm him of his nomination.

In a few minutes Lieut Taylor appeared upon the stand and a few appropriate remarks accepted the nouka tion, (though with great reluctance,) said he thought there were men more fitting for the hih'and un portant position, nevertheless, if it wsieailv the wish of his fellow Citizens, (if elected,) he would serve them faithfully, lie referred to Col. nomination as being at the hand3 of W. F. McKesson and VV. W.

Avery, which is certainly so, Mr. Editor, and said "he preferred meetinp- Col. Erwin on the stump, to speaking when he absent. Sickness prevented Caldwell from attending and addressing ihe meeting. But, Mr.

Editor, notwithstanding Mr. MeKowjon's bombast and large, wagers, (which he expected no body to take,) we expect to elect Lieut Taylor by a handsome majority, and when you htar froai old Burke after the fourth of August next, you will hear of such majorities for W. W. Holden, Tod R. Caldwell and L.

A. Taylor, as will' astonish the Destructives and such a victory will have been won "that the oble and patriotic smis of the old North State, from the mountains to the seab. ard, will rejoice and be exceeding glad. BURKE. June 2d, 1964.

That we esteem the immediate Tepon-sibility of the representative to bis constituents, as one of the greatest safeguards agiinst unjust and oppressive legislation; that we are therefore op to persons from States situated as Kentucky and Missouri, occupying seats- in Congress and votitjf to impose burthens on us which cannot be enforced On the- people of the States which-they profess to represent That we believe mavinis is me sourca Irom, -which flows much of thcvil legislation of last Congresu which has been so justly denounced, by W.

Resolved, Tliatln order to procure these much desntd amendments to the. Confederate Constitution and such other securities to civil liberty as the exigencies may demand, we recommend calling a State in accordarce with Art. 5 of the Constitution of the Confederate States, which pro videsrasfollows: Upon the demanofof Any three States, legally assembled their several State Conventions, the -Congress ConventioiT of all the States, to take into consideration such amendments to the Constitution as ihe said States shall cdncur in suggesting at the time when -the demand is" made."

Vance tliat the -late act of Congress enrolling persons whose serTJees necessary to carry on the irt-ifustnM and business pufsuits of the country, re-quinogthem to get a detail fromthe President or of War, or be put into the army, is a tlangerous; and a despotic stretch of power, which oughf not to be placed in the hands of any man. and vtell contrived to strike down civil liberty by a oiiuaeu suyser 5 4lir wnfcto and -dependent uoon ihe will 'Sr nuci oi me citizen W.HC Jfd assumption Grower by -Goneress to.
