what would be the response of the great body of the
people of Virginia, on proper occasion, to the policy
of the President in regard to the admission of Kan
sas If, however, such can be found. we
fer him for an unmistakeable indication of their opn
ions to the following resolutions adopted, among
others, without dissenting voice by an imposing
assembage of the citizens OF Montgomery. county,
convened without distinction of party, sect or creed,
for the purpose of considering the present condition
of Federal, Southern and State affairs
Resolued, That we approve the policy OF Mr.. Bu-
chanan's Administration in regard to the admission
of Kansas, and that our Representative in Congress
is hereby informed that expect him to operate
with the Administration in its patriotic efforts to Sc
cure the admission of Kansas into the Unon at the
present session of Congress, under the Lecompton
Constitution.
Resozred That dsapprove of the course pur-
sued by Gov. Wise in his recent and continued op-

To the Democratic Party of the State.


The delegates of the Democracy, in Convention at
Charlotte have nominated for Govern or, John W.
Ellis of Rowan. 1t is good nomination, and will
receive my cordial and active support. Such an ap-
peal feel sure, is not necessary but was voted
for in that Convention, and lest my position and feel
ings should be misunderstood and misconstrued,
appeal to all my friends, in every portion of the
State to % l do, heartily and entirely for this
nomination. The nominee is worthy; and BESIDES
brother Democrats, owe to ourselves, to-our
principles and to the cause of a Constitutional
Union to present solid front to the common adver-
sary Men die and pass away like the dew of the
morning. but principles are co-existent with time,
and must be maintained without regard to men.-
Let the preferences and the passions of the hour
have sway over the great cause which is so dear
and so important to US all.
To my friends from every portion of the State,
who stood by me at Charlotte, and who urged my
humble maine for the nomination for Governor-an6
especially to the gallant and indomitable Democracy
of the mountain Counties-I tender the homage and
the thanks of grateful heart.

Avery Proper Request.

When Mr.. Gmer had finished his recent speech
in the House of Representatives, giving "aid and
comfort to the Black Republicans the latter party,
tits known, with Mr. Giddngs at their head, crowd
ed around the gentleman to offer him their congrat-
ulations. Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, followed Mr..
Gimer; but after he had obtained the floor, Mr..
Houston, of Alabama, as we learn from the Globe.
and requested Mr.. NJ to suspend his remarks
until the black Republicans had finished their con-
gratulations. We quote from the Globe as follows
Mr.. MILES obtained the floor.
Mr. IIoUsroN. I ask my friend from South.Caro-
lima to suspend urtil the Black Republicans have
finished congratulating the gentleman from North
Carolina, Mr. Gilmer.]

"It is stated that James L. Pettigrew, Esq, one
of the most eminent lawyers and distinguished citi-
zens of the South has written to Mr.. Crittenden
from Charleston, that the masses of the Southern
people cordially adopt his proposition the Kansas
question: VII Herald.
This is amusing. How much does Mr.. Pettigrew
know of the sentiments Of the masses of the South
people? Mr.. Gilmer is the only strictly South
ern member of the House who voted for the the
Crttenden- Montgomery amendment; and we sup
pose he is be taken as the representative of the
sentiments of the Southern masses.

NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SocIErY-The ninth
annual meeting of this society will be held in New
bern the third Tuesday in May next. See adver-
tisement in another column. We have no doubt
that the meeting will be full one. The facilities for
getting to Newbern now as good as could be
desired, the Atlantic Railroad having been compile
ted to Goldsboro. 1t is, doubt, pleasure, as
well as an advantage, to the Medical fraternity
of the State to meet together as brothers, once
a year and interchange oponon on the expert
ence of laborious practice for the past year. 1t

The Nominee and the Platform.

The deliberations of the Convention which as
sembled in Charlotte the 14th inst have resulted
in the nomination the first ballot of the Hon.
JOHN w. ELLIS, of Rowan for Governor.
We present below the platform of principles
adopted, and reporter has given brief sketch
of the proceedings of the Convention. Full
ports shall appear in our next-Our paper has
already been delayed beyond its usual time, and we
do no at present than refer to the action,
of the Convention and its nominee. Nj y
The Convention the largest and the most i'm
posing in every respect that ever assembled in the
State. 1t has spoken, and it is the duty Of every
good Democrat to spring with alacrity to the sup
port of its nominee JOHN ". ELLIS is tried
Democrat, an able statesman, and worthy and de-
serving man. He has been identified from his youth
with the Democracy of the State, and he has been
to it's principles and to its organization from his
entrance upon manhood to the present time. He
will make good Governor. We feel sure that all
the great interests of the State will be safe and will
prosper in his hands; and predict that he will
be elected, not merely by handsome but by sig.
nal and overwhelming majority.
- The platform adopted at Charlotte is BRIEF COM
prehensive and all that could be desired. The De-
mocracy of the State will rally it and stand upon
twth enthusiasm which will sweep all opposition
before it. More hereafter.

The Charlotte Convention.

The publication of this issue of the Standard
having been delayed for the Proceedings of the De-
mocratic Convention, held in Charlotte, on Wednes-
day and Thursday last, apology is due from the
Reporter for their appearance.
The Reporter has to say that the labors of the
past four days-including journey of $50 miles,
loss of rest, and close attendance at the Cohven
tion of two full days-render him unfit for the fur
ther labor of transcribing his notes He has full
notes of all that occurred, and will present to the
readers of this paper, in its next ISSUE full and
fair account of every transaction that occupied the
attention of the Convention. The report will re.
cord the sayings and dongs of the largest, most i'm
posing, most respectable. and doubtless the most
intelligent and patriotic Convention ever assembled
in this State. 1t will disappoint those who looked
for or wished to see record of dssension strife.
1t will present no evidence of discord division,
on account of disappointment to the friends OF this
man or that-for it will speak the truth 1t will
not record the action of caucuses conclaves-for
there were no such things at Charlotte, in connec-
tion with the Democratic Convention. But it will
present plain record of the harmonious debera-
tions of the Democracy of the State, in public meet
ing assembled
AS matter of pressing interest, however, the Re.
porter gives the following summary of the proceed
ings:
