TREMENDOUS DEMOCRATIC DEMON
STRATION IN FAVOR OF CASS AND
BUTLER!
On Tuesday night last, Git being Superior
Court week. the Democrats of this town and
county, assembled at the Court House, agree
ably 10 notice previously given. N. N. NIX
ON, ESQ, was called to the Chair, and MI
JOHN S. JAMES requested to act as Secretary
The Chairman, in a few pertinent reTnH'"S'
explained the object OF the meeting a 0'"'u
Rally of our party had been called 1or' and
notwithstanding the Wings had loren Light
Procession at the same time-(no doubt gotten
ND to keep the Democracy away)--we are
happy in being able TO say, that the call was
NOT maje in vain. The Court House was lit
orally crammed and jammed TO overfowing.-
The speakers of the evening were Messrs.
VIM Hill, NJ B. Smith, S. D. Wallace, VIM.
S. Ashe, and David Reid, E>qs. Mr.. Smith
addressed the meeting in speech OF about
quarter OF an hour, in the most animated and
inspiring manner, during which time ne was
frequently interrupted by the applause OF the
audience. When Mr.. S. sat down, one unan-
lmous call was made for Mr.. VIM Hill. Mir.
r. took the stand, and occupied the attention
of his hearers in a speech of upwards of an
hour in delivery. # ever an assemb'age OF
people was pleased with a speech delivered
upon any subject, it was the Democrats that
had congregated within the walls of the Court
House on Tusday night last, that was pleased
with the remarks which fell from the lips of
William Hill on that occasion. A smile Of
gratitude was upon every mans countenance.
And we fanced we heard every man present
say that if we can't conquer our enemies with
such arguments as Mr.. Hill used 10 prove the
correctness OF our cause, and the ability Of
our candidates, it's no use in trying. Such
was the powerful expressions uttered BY the
speaker, that at intervals of every four or five
minutes the most deafening applause was
sent forth by the audience. We regret that
we cannot give sketch of Mr. Hills speech.
We wish every Wing in the land could have
! heard it. 1t was delivered in a plain, easy,
| unassumIng manner; courteous towards his
opponents, and at the same time pointed and
| decided-proving every position assumed by
him, in the most clear and comprehensive lam
guage After Mr.. Hill had concluded, call
was made for Mr.. Stephen D. Wallace. Mr.
w. entertained the meeting for few moments.
He urged upon the Democracy to be active,
viglant, and constantly on the alert. MIR,
Ashe WAS next called for, and notwithstanding
he begged 10 be excused, so great was the
enthusiasm, that he was forced 10 make few
remarks, which had most happy effect, and
which elected one universal burst Of applause
Mr. Reid was next called for. He begged &c
be excused lie thought We had drank sc
deep OF the good wine tonight that he would
prefer to reserve his "grape' for Wednesday
night. The people were not satisfied-bu
with a few spirited, soulthriiling remarks
Mr.. R. sat down, amidst the most thrilling al
pIause that ever went forth within the wall!
OF our Court House, with the promise to al
dress the people tomorrow night. Before TIT
meeting adjourned, the following resolution
was read, and spontaneously and unanimous
~ adopted by the meeting.
" Resolued, That every Democrat present
will use all honorable means in his power, t
bring out The whole strength Of our party OF
. The 9TH November. and use every effort to car
ry the State Of North Carolina for Cass ani
Butler
The meeting then adjourned, and formed il
a procession which reached from the Cour
House TO the Carolina Hotel. Some have tolt
us that there must have been at least 500 per
sons in the procession, and we know from GU
. own knowledge that many of those who wer
e in the meeting, went home before the process
sion was formed. The procession then march
:. ed down Market Street, up Front, through
: Princess Street, and hack TO the Carolina Ho
c tel in the most lively spirit-every now an
o then giving cheers for Cass and Butler, Dem
ocracy, the Constitution of our county, and
i the prominent speakers and members OF tn
5 Democratic party.
e Never, in all our life, have we witnesse
5 such enthusiasm as now perVades our party
c Every member of Democracy has resolved t
do his duty--his whole duty-and nothin
less-and what is better than all-every Den
ocral we have had the pleasure to convers
with, feels confident Of carrying the State f'
Cass and Butler on the 9TH OF November "
challenge any other county in the State to Civ
" better account OF itself than New Ranove
IS The word has gone forth-We can and u
le uW conquer our enemies.
