Il will be seen, by the proceedings in another col
,, that the sterling Democrats of Forsythe Count,
L.ro been the first to hold meeting preparatory t.
H. onnroaching campaign. We trust other Coun

a. 1ong,,age of Forsythe friend, ''@cery County
- .bo State will be represented in the Convention
Tho opposton, it is obvious, are counting on sue

a;ntrent or immaterial differences of opinion, OF
f,rI FEELING to contribute to the defeat of those
o PRINCIPLES so gloriously indicated in the cleo
t;on of Gen. Pierce, and under whose influences
%on, Carolina is now making such rapid strides to
rrospcrtv and greatness? Is there man among
p nI,imine to be a Jackson, or Polk, or Calhoun
nemocrat. who would dash our banner to the earth,
and see it trampled on by the foe? We cannot be-
rove # The time is hard by when the people will
row and know surely, who it is they mayi trust
81 ord cling to, and who they should honor and pro-
mote in subsequent strugges-the people, whom
;tbsr the arts of the deuagogue nor the blandish-
0r+c Of mower can hattcr or seduce, and whose

10 public men.
Tho nomocratic State Committee will assemble in
r;, Citv on Friday next, to designate the day for
no meeting of the State Convention. We trust their
.tiop will be responded to in such manner as will
once convince the adversary that he has nothing
hope from divisions among ourselves.
Forsythe leads the column! She is worthy IN
lame and in deed to do this; but what say Nash,
Ind Edcccombe, and Warren, and Granville, and
franklin, and Johnston, and Wayne, and New Han
rer. and Beaufort, and Lincoln, Catawba, Castor,
burke, Mecklenburg-what say ell to this call
ION Forsythe? Buncombe is getting ready, as we
serve by notice in the News. We hope to see
&c West here in full force the East We are sure
ure, will not hold back
The last Salisbury Banner has the following time
and excellent remarks on the subject:
To DEMOCRATS. We would urge upon our DEM
ratio brethren throughout the State the import
&c of prompt and decided action in reference to
coming contest for Governor and members of the
Egisature. The Wing Convention Will meet on the
Isl of February and the Democratic Convention
Il no doubt meet at as early day as convenient;
both parties will have their champions in the
ID earlier than usual. We trust that every county
the State will be represented in the Democratic
venton; and we will not permit ourselfto doubt
a candidate will be selected acceptable to ali.
We would also party friends, especially
ounties largely Democratic, against divisions IN
ranks and against running too many candidates
opponents are willy and vigilant and always
" to take advantage of any such state of affairs,
slip III one OF their own number. Organization
Fcessary to the success Of any party; and with
per organization We feel confident that the Dem
IS Of North Carolina elect their Governor,
secure majority in the next Legislature Uni
elton is all that is necessary to insure another
Try, and with it the reforms and that freedom
prosperity, which we cannot expect from a
administration. The next Legislature will
to eject two L. 5. Senator's and we conf
there Is no good Democrat il the State that |
not exert himself to secure the election of two
Democrats, who will sustain the present ma
administration
