Charlotte Journal, (Mecklenburg County, NC),
July 17, 1846
For the Journal,
MONROE, Union County, N.C.,
June 20.
In obedience to notice given to the Officers and Privates
of the 69th Regiment N.C. Militia, the citizens of Union county met in the
Court House in Monroe, on the 20th of June.
When on motion, Hugh Stewart,
Esq., was called to the Chair, and Col. James M. Stuart was appointed Secretary.
On motion, the Chair explained the object of the meeting,
and Col. J. M. Stuart called on
Samuel H. Walkup, Esq., for a
speech, who addressed the meeting very ably.
On motion the Chair appointed a Committee of five to adopt Resolutions
for this meeting. The Chair appointed
Col. J. M. Stuart, Col. Wm. W. Walkup, Robert Lemmonds, James G. Blair, and Andrew Secrest, Esq. The Committee
retired for a short time, and T. M. McCauley,
Esq., made a short address to the meeting, when the Committee offered the
following Preamble and Resolutions:
Whereas the Congress of the U. States have declared that
war exists between this Government and the Republic of Mexico, and whereas
hostilities were commenced by the Mexican army, upon and claimed by us, against
the American forces; and whereas, a requisition has been made upon North
Carolina for volunteers to aid in defending the interest and honor of our
country; Therefore,
Resolved, That
whilst we deplore war as one of the greatest evils, and one that should be the
very last resort in the civilized age, yet when the honor of the country is at
stake, her rights trampled upon, or her soil invaded, it is the duty of every
patriot to stand forth ready to aid and defend her at all hazards.
Resolved, That
we believe the Rio Del Norto is the true and
legitimate boundary between this Government and Mexico, as claimed by Texas and
acknowledged by Mexico, as a good national boundary, and even supposing the
title to the country between the Nouces (sic) and Del
Norto to be doubtful, the violation of the agreement
by Mexico to receive Mr. Slidell to
negotiate concerning the boundary and her threats to invade Texas if annexed to
the United States, fully justified the President in occupying that country and
concentrating our forces there; and since they have commenced hostilities
against the U. States by invading her soil and shedding the blood of her
citizens, our Government would be justified in declaring war and in turn
invading Mexico until ample reparation is made.
Resolved, That the conduct of President Polk and Congress in this crisis, in declaring war, voting men and
money, and calling for volunteers, was patriotic and energetic and meets our
approbation.
Resolved, That we will heartily
respond to the Proclamation issued by Gov. Graham
for volunteers, that Union county shall not be behind her sister Counties in showing
her patriotism, but that she will act as becomes the County giving birth to
Gen. Jackson, and part of a County
giving birth to President Polk, and
the first declaration of Independence.
Resolved, That we have the fullest confidence in Gen. Taylor to conduct the campaign, that
the glorious victories and brilliant achievements of him and his army merit the
applause of the nation and reflects great honor upon the American arms. We highly approve of the honors conferred
upon them by Congress, and would delight to follow such a leader, who commands
his men to do nothing where he is not willing to lead.
The above Resolutions were read and unanimously adopted.
On motion, the Waxhaw Band played a few Airs and beat up
for volunteers, when 91 of the Officers and Privates of the 69th Regiment
enrolled in defense of our country.
On motion, the meeting adjourned a short time, and the
Colonels and Major proceeded to organize a company, and elected the following
officers. Col. Wm. W. Walkup,
Captain; Capt. Thomas D. Massey, 1st
Lieutenant; Samuel H. Walkup, Esq., 2d Lieutenant.
The Captain then appointed Sergeants and Corporals, and will report to
the Adjutant General by the first mail.
Moved, that the Band play “Yankee Doodle” and sing the ‘Old North State’ and ‘Star Spangled Banner.’
Moved, that the thanks of this meeting be given to the
Chairman and Secretary, and also to the Band for the able manner in which they
discharged their duty.
Ordered that the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Journal
and Jeffersonian.
The meeting then adjourned and Capt. Walkup paraded the volunteers.

STEWART, Ch’m.
JAMES M. STUART, Sec’ry.

scene at the execution of a man named Robert Hildreth, at that place on the 2nd inst.
The axe glittered, the trap
door falls, and Hildreth swings by the neck. For half a minute he remains
motionless. Is he dead? Can his own weight, without having fallen one inch,
broken his neck? No. Poor fellow, he expected one pang, and that his lust. But
the fatality which often leads Sheriffs to gross negligence in executing the law, must cost him now a world of wo.
With a convulsive effort he reaches the platform and stands again on earth
alive. The cap has fallen from his face. The blood was already fast rushing
upwards. But his large and muscular neck prevented the rope from tightening.
Even then his meekness did not leave him. He spoke, without complaint, in a
clear voice, that was heard with awe by every ear -
"Come here and fix the rope, it won't choke me to death!"
The sheriff did go to him.
First with an axe, then with a piece of scantling, he endeavored to knock away
the boards. At last he pushed Hildreth's feet from the scaffold, and hung him
inefficiently a second time. The poor fellow made no more effort to recover
himself. Finding that he was hung in a way which produced the most
excruciating, because gradual suffocation - with the blood slowly collecting in
his brain - through a circulation only partially impeded - the unfortunate man,
compelled by the pangs which momentarily grew greater, drew up his legs as high
as possible, then with all his force threw them down to tighten the cord. Three
several times, at intervals of a minute, he did the same thing. Then his
struggles ceased - his own executioner, he became unconscious of pain.
The scene at Rockingham, or
something frequently shocking, abominable, is of frequent occurrence. It is
witnessed, almost without exception, wherever capital punishment is inflicted
in North Carolina.
