Pssoped That we recommend to the Democratic citizens
in the election precincts in New Hanover County 10
organize themselves into Democratic Associations for the
nromugatOn of the principles of Democracy and the Cor
stutiOn and of efficient action support ana deIence OF
such principles
Resolved That we respectfully recommend to the Demo,
Gratis of New Hanover County hold County Convention
long Creek Bridge, the last Thursday in May 49,
the 29h, to nominate candidates Tor the senate b a
ton as the safety of the party may seem 10 anu
that each election precinct be requested 70 su ieo
gates said Convention, which Delegates sh DC enteu
to the number of votes cast oy :ucn LOT
the Democrtic candidate at the congressman election III
August.
We ask the attention of our Democratic brethren
throughout the county of New Hanover 10 the above
resoluons adopted by the county meeting held at the
Court House The 11th instant In regard to the
first that urging organization in each election pre-
cnct, we think there can be no diversity OF opInlon
because every body must be aware of the usefulness
and necessity of organ zaon for the success OF any
cause or The carrying ont of any purpose, and GER
tainIy the object proposed to be effected by the
ganzation of Democratic Associations are such as
must meet the views, and accord with the wishes of
every Democrat. The PRONUNCIATION of the princi-
pes of Democracy and The Constitution, and efficient
action in defence of such principles are precisely
what every Democrat DESIRES We sincerely trust that
a movement will be made towards the organization
of such Associations in every precnt not only in
this county, but in every other county. Let it be
made at Let il be made within the week if
possible. What is the use of delaying things, the
advantages Of which all will admit?
The second-tbe holding Of County Convention
should be fully considered and promptly seen to.
There ale always citizens in every county more Oh
less opposed to conventions, and this county is no
exception. But recent events-the advent of new
and insdous foe-he necessity of acting in concert
have think infused stronger desire for effective
organization than has existed among the Democrats
of New Hanover for many years, and the same re-
mark will apply TO the Democratic party generally.
The resolution now under consideration was debated
in Committee on Business, composed of gentlemen
from all the precincts in the county, and is the re-
suit Of their joint deliberations and in very large
meeting, was unanimously adopted. We therefore
trust that the Democrats in every precinct will seri
ousy &c to work at holding meetings to send dele
gates. The usual place Of holding elections in any
precinct would seem TO be the place indicated as the
most public one for holding the meeting for appoint
ing the delegates TO the County Convention. We
ask Of Democrats in each precinct TO ascertain
the most suitable and convenient tim" for holding
meeting there, and forward it 10 us that we may give
public notice of such meeting through the columns
of paper, in any possible manner assist in thu
matter, for we have it deeply at heart that the Con
vention should be the accurate reflex of the senti
ments and wishes of the Democrats of New Hanove
county, and this only be the case, by the people
taking the matter in hand, consulting among them
ha IN att he
meetings TO send delegates, and seeing that the dele
gates so sent understand and are prepared to carr
out their wishes. Let US be prepared TO consult to
gether-to act together and TO pull together lik
brethren.
