THE BERKELEY COUNTY RESOLUTIONS,

The resolutions to be found in the accompa.
nying report Of the meeting in Berkeley county,
deserve especial notice, as having departed from
the usual routine of generalitieS.
The resolution of confidence in the Admins
%tration, coupled with another Of congratulation
over the important triumph of the great leader
Of the Illinois Democracy, presents Il most ap-
posite and timely rebuke to the spirit of diScord
and intolerance among brethren of the same
faith. which the politicians and journals of the
Opposition are now eagerly striving to excite,
and which finds too many dcvotecs even among
our own ranks.
Added to this, the Berkeley Democracy have
met the real living issue now before us. face to
face. The great necessity for harmony and
unity among the Democracy is pointed out in
the fact that the struggle oflSGo will probably
be fraught with moro imminent danger from the
spirit of abolitioniSm than has yet threatened
the peace of the Union. They g. further, and
openly declare that a Black Republican triumph
in the next Presidential election, must cventu-
ate in "Hothiag less Naa Il dissolution IF tie
Uhton, Or q base surrender By tie Southern
States Of their most ritat interests and ~inStit~-
tons to organized .t5anaticism and aqgression."

STILL ANOTHER COUNTY MEETING MAN
AGED" FOR IETCHFR

We are just informed, on most reliable au-
thority, that the resolution passed at tine meet
ing in Powhatan county, and favorable to the
nomination Of Mr.. John Letcher, was carried
through by means OF a sort OF management
more adroit than fair to the members even who
composed the meeting.
No mention had been made of any such res
%olution, the main business of the asSemblage
was concluded, and a large proportion of the
Democrats had retired from the room, before
the Letcheritcs made their movement. Then
it was that the resolution for Mr.. Lctchcr was
proposed, and was voted on by some twenty
~loiterers only. OF course, instructions" of
this sort will be utterly disresarded by the
fair minded delegates appointed, even if the
same instructions do not cause the aSsemblage
Of another meeting.
