suit the popular will ofthe party, and
in appointing said vigilance commit
tees, as a depression from the princi-
pies and usages of the Democratic

following preamble and resolution
WAS adopted III
Whereas, The party in this Leg
y islatiye District has been dis-organi-
zed BY the mis- application of the del
egate system in making d nomination
and whilesourprinciltles and platform
Erepudiates the action ofthe last Feb
ruary and March conventions, our
party have no candidates upon whom
they can unite and act consistent with
the principles we profess, and under
.fsuch circum stances this meeting feels
i itself unable to produce harmony in
Tour ranks and secure1snccess to Dem
ocratic principles iii the present can,
vass, and thatlwhileIwe coasidersthat
lis. M. Gallahue, at tile February con
Syention, did propose properly that
the popular will of the Democracy
i SHOULD be- consulted iii making a nom
ination, in order to ilnite the party,
1 we cannot conceive that he was In
!. sttnmental iii any manner,8 in diYi-
ding our ranks, simply because he
withdrew, and would NOT concur with
said conventfen when 1T departed
from the usages aud principles of
Democracy and while we consider
Thin a sound and NATIONALLY emocra

Intention, and chat We request them
Ito mite with US and electhim.
