Under our e,,itorial head our readers will
find notice Of Democratic Mass Meetings
TO be held in this State, at several different
points, during next month, October. The
Burlington Gazette says, and most aptly
too: owe are assured that the very best
talent OF the State will be secured, az speak
ers, at those meetings, and that auxlliaries
from abroad are expected at most of them.
Let our friends see to it, that there is no
lack in this respect Let the young men Of
arhor and talent, every where, be enlisted
and set to work in the glorious cause.
Let the friends Of Peace and of the Con-
stitution rally in their might 10 these re-
unions for kinjling anew the fires of pat
riotism let such popular response come
UP from Hill and valley, from grove and pra-
irie, far and near. az shall exercise that
spirit Of treason which stalks forth at mid
day, and strikes terror TO the hearts Of those
dastardly assailants Of the Constitution and
enemies Of the Union, whose banner IN a
piratical flag of sixteen stars. From the
fires kindled at these affairs, let such an en-
thus,astic love OF country be difii,sed
throughout the length and breadth OF our
beautiful young State, as shall sweep those
sewers Of dissension and instigators Of clvil
war into the oblivion from which they so
gently emerged"

| in ls45 10 settle oil disputes and con-
troversies upon the subject Of Slavery
| in the Territories, by extending TO
such Territories the Missouri CompTo-
mise line, the Free Soilers in Congress
fought the proposition with all Their
strength the recognition Of that line
was by them resisted, denounced and
defeated.
To show how violently these men
were opposed To any settlement Of the
Slavery Question in 1852, other than
its total prohibition both North and
South Of sc 80 min, we will lay be-
fore our readers the eighth resolution
or plank in their platform, as adopted
by the Convention which met at Pitts
burgh in that year, and nominated
Hale for President, and Julian for Vice
President. II must be borne in mind,
in this connection, that all the leaders
Of the present Republican Party, OF
nearly all, were leaders Of the Free
Soil party in 1852. This plank is one
Of the main features of Black Repub-
licanism Of 1852
4. That the doctrine, that any human
law is a tinal,tv, and not subject to modih'
cst,on or repeal, - not in accordance with
the creed OF the founders OF our govern
ment, and IS dangerous 10 the liberties Of
the psople."
But now let ms look at Black Re-
publicanism in 1856, and see how
stands the record.
These agitating demagogucs tell ms
in 1852, that to advocate that the Mis-
souri, Compromise was SACRED com
pact" not to be repealed, was to con
tend for a" doctrine not in accordance
with the creed Of the founders ot oul
government, and dangerous 10 Tire hCer
ties of the people.
Well, these Supple Jack. Of the islns
in 1856, these same men Of 1852, meet
AGAIN in Convention and declare, Will
all apparent honesty, that the "mod'fl
cation or repeal" ofthat same Missouri
Compromise, was violation OF Tho
doctrines Of the founders Of our govern
ment, and dangerous to the Liberties
of the people" Hale, Giddings, sum
ner and Company in 1856 in dlrec
| opposition to Hale, Gid.lings Sumner
and Company in ls52-in other words
to do AN act in 1856 is destructive o
the liberty Of the people, and in 1856:
not to do the same thing was danger
Gus to the liberties Of the same people
Consistent - very, is it not Thl
Cramfshing shows in these men clthe
a great deficiency Of common sense
or n supcrabunIancc Of low schemlng
cunning and rascality and in clthe
case they would prove very unsafe re
positories Of the Liberties of the people
of these United States. Such vii b'
the verdict Of the masses on the 4th o
November next.

Democratic Ratification Meeting


Pursuant TO public notice, large portion of the
Democrats of New Hanover County met at the Court
House on Tuesday evening, the 10th inst.
The meeting was organized by calling N. N. Nix
on TO the Chair, and appointing A. F. Newkrk, Sec
retary The object of the meeting being explained
by the Chair to be the ratfca ton of the action of
the National Dem ocratc Convention, which recently
met at Cincinnati,
On motion, committee of five was appointed by
the Chair to draft resolutions for the action of the
meeting. The following gentlemen were appointed
on said committee James Fulton, E. w Hail. P M.
Walker, Miles Costin and S. A. Holmes.
During the absence of the committee the meeting
was addressed by VI. B. Smith, Esq, of New Hano-
yer, and VIM j. Houston Esq, of Duplin, in an
able and eloquent manner.
| Eli w Hall, ESQ., on behalf of the committee on
resolutions, said that this ratification meet.
ing the committee had deemed it proper, instead of
writing out new series of resolutions, 10 take and
endorse those adopted by the Democratic District
Convention, which had met in this town during the
day for the purpose of choosing Democratic Elec-
tor. We would thus, at the time, ratify the
ton of the Cincinnati Convention, and also of the
Wilmington District Convention. These resolutions,
as presented to the meeting by Mr. Hall, unan.
imously adopted. [See proceedings of Convention
| for resolutions
Messrs. Strange and Devane responded to calls

the abest and most experienced eleetoneering
speaker in Kentucky, Ex-Governor Letcher in the
strong wing district formerly represented by Henry
Clay. He is as true as steel.
This then is how we stand We have united
party good candidates, and good platform. So far,
therefore, we have everything to encourage But
let US proceed to see that we have nothing TO in
duce undue confidence,
We repeat, what we have said frequently before,
that any thing like undue confidence is most carefully
to be guarded against. With fair and proper exer-
ton victory is certain to perch upon our banner, but
without such exertion, the case is doubtful We beg
impress upon our Democratic readers this fact that
party, matter how strong afford to dispense
with the conditions of success without the risk of in
evable defeat. 1t is true that the Democratic is the
only great. united and national party in the country,
but it equally true that between it and all the sms
and oppostions, especially at the NORTH there is high
wall and a deep ditch, while between these isms
there Is bond of common opposition to Democracy,
and that in the last resort this bond will be found
strong enough TO unite them at the polls or in the
House Of representatives should they succeed in
throwing the election into that body.
Al the North we have the whole united aSnas 10
contend against. At the South we have the Fillmore
men alone, who will fight the battles of the Northern
fanatics by trying TO draw off strength from their only
important opponents. So it will be that scattered
and demoralized as the opposition 10 Democracy is,
it has the bond of opposition, and that must make
| our calculations to overcome the whole of it.

Our ElecfOr.

1t will be seen that the Democratic District Con-
venton which met here on Tuesday last, has placed
before the Democracy of the district the name of NJ.
B. Smith Esq, the Democratic Elector for the
Third District.
We have known Mr.. Smith we'll and intimately
for years. and truly say that there is not
pulse in his heart which does not beat in unison with
the great principles of Democracy, and that every
honorable effort of his voice and of his intellect will
be devoted to secure the success of the Democratic
party who have honored him by placing their stand
ard in his hands. To those who know him WELL
these remarks will be superfuous-those who do
not may rest assured that, before the canvass is
over, they will have equal to be satisfied with
the choice ct the convention That he will meet his
opponents fairly and courteously we feel certain
that he will do ably and efectuay,we feel equal
y convinced, for know that he has the talent and
the energy to do So and that his whole heart is in
the cause.
In all the counties ofthe district we have able sub
electors who will discharge their duties faithfully,
but, after ALL the weight of the work must be done by
the party itself We must all work, and the thing
will be done right.
