! ResOlred That congratulate the Democracy of
the State the great victory achieved the trum-
plant reelection of David S. Reid as Governor of
the State, by majority of six thousand votes.
Resoed That the general result OF recent cleo
tons most clearly demonstrates the ability of the
Democracy to carry the State for President and Vice
President In November; and in order to ensure sue.
cess is only necessary that the Democrats should
be united, and that every one should put forth his
best exertions.
ResolUed, That recognize in the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, Franklin Pierce, pat
riot and statesman who knows no North nor South,
and whose political history in the language of dis
tngulshed WING, proves him to be capable, hones.,
and faithful to the Constitution, an early, consistent
and energetic opponent of anti-savery fanacism in
all its forms and firm and decided friend of the
compromise -; and aly attempts to detract from his
character the bold defender of the Constitutional
rights of the South, alike dsreputable and dis
honorable tothose engaged in them and will be prop
erIy understood by the Southern people and resented
by them at the polls.
ResofUed, That William R. King, the Democratic
candidate for Vice President native Norh-Caroli-
man, is equally entitled to commentators and con-
hdence, as every way worthy of the high station to
which it is the intention of the Democracy of the
country to elevate him.
ResOhred, That we recommend to our Democratic
brethren in every County to form Pierce and King
Clubs-to take steps for spreading before the people
useful political information, and organize in such
way as to have all the voters the polls the day
of election.

this Club who can make it convenient to attend, will
do so; and that they invite their Democratic friends
of the County generally to attend.
On motion, the President of the Club was re-
quested to appoint Committee of five, and, on
consultation with said Committee, to appoint Com
mittees of Vigilance throughout the County, said
Committees of Vigilance to circulate documents
