The Meeting on Tuesday Night.

The Democratic meeting IN the Court House last
Tuesday really large and respectable. The house
full, and the very best spirit prevailed. Every
thing gave token of harmony and attachment to the
principles of the party and certainly if there be any
virtue in good beginning, the campaign, on our
part has opened with the best prospects of success
1t was Democratic meeting-a good old-fashioned
Democratic meeting. 1t passed good Democratic
northumberland to able Democratic addresses
from good and true members of the party, and sepa-
rated determined to roll up the right kind of major
tiles at the August and November elections. The
report of the proceedings will be found in another

with the view of obtaining an appropriation for their

the Chair. and Henry Mutt, Esqr, offcated as Sec
rotary
A committee appointed for the purpose reported
resolutions for the consideration of the meeting set
ting forth the vitalimportance of the subject, recon-
mending the attainment of an opinion from the Of
icers of the coast survey as to what improvements
are practicable and the embodying in memorial to
Congress of a request for Suitable appropriation
for the purpose of efectirg such improvement
The matter of Marine Hospital was also brought
before the meeting and its necessity and justice uni
versalIy concurred in and resolution upon the sub
ject passed
After the passage of the solutions, D. K. MeRae,
Esq. having been repeatedly called upon, addressed
the meeting at some length, in speech of much
force and eloquence setting forth many important
and startling truths in regard to the neglect with
which the South at large, but more especially North
Carolina, has been treated by the General Govern
nent. In regard to portion of his speech; how
Ensa th+ Ai+hAr did NJ fnli5z
comprehend it, or else could not fully endorse it -
we mean that portion in regard to compromise on
the public lands but that is comparatively new
subject and as Mr.. McRea remarked, has not YET
been maturey considered and we, therefore. waive
any expression of opinion at the present time The
rest of the speech met our views precisely.
We think that this ball is now fairly in motion

The Rall Opened.

March Court has generally been the time for COM
mencing the organization of parties in this county,
in anticipation of the Summer and Fall elections,
and accordingly on Monday night last the wigs
held meeting at the Masonic Hall, for the purpose
of appointing delegates to State and District Con-
vention. We do not want to make whig friends
feel bad about that meeting 1t was of the
meetings that you would be inclined to think must
agree, there was hardly sufficient number pre-
sent to do anything else But unfortunately they
did do anything else. The fact is that this
ton question out of which some of our Wing friends
want to make capital by an affectation of ultra re-
pub!icanism and especial regard for the dear peo
pie, is going to blow them sky-high, so far the
State canvass is concerned The people will feel
that while the Democratic party is progressive it al
so conservative. 1t would wish to abolish an odious
distinction, but at the same time would not subject
the constitution of the State to sudden or violent
changes On the contrary, the whg leaders opposed
Equal Suffrage" until they found that it was bound
to be popular, and then they to the other ex-
IRENE and would subject the whole fabric of the
constitution to the chances of unlimited conven-
ton, in which the East would be powerless. The
whig leaders have thus exhibited the spectacle of a
stubborn resistance to reasonable and proper amend
ments in safe and conservative mode, succeeded by
demagoguecal appeal to an interest inimcal to the
whole basis upon which present system of State
government is founded.
We believe that the democratic meeting of Tuesday
last the largest preliminary meeting ever held in
this county All the clouds of disaection that low
cred above party seemed to have been dspelled
and there was in truth, and in fact, harmony and
determination TO work together cordially and in good
faith for the promotion of a common object.
We are partizans in the fullest sense of the word
and shall use all fair and proper to promote
the success of our cause, and hope to effect some
good between this time and the elections; but VT
shall not Fill columns with long political articles
to the exclusion Of other matters of interest; no.
shall we use any clap trap-employ any arsu
ment, or make any statement that, as inteligen
men, we would not employ or make to our friends il
private conversation. We believe in the reasonable
ness of cause, and in its justice, and we think
knoar that it will bear the tests of reason and jus
tice and be best advanced by their use. We be
leve canddly, that if wing friends will only
into the matter in this spirit, they will achieve
great victory-a triumph their own pre- udices
I and conquest oyer those erroneous opinions int
which they have been led without proper exami
nation.
