MEETING OF THE DOUGLAS DEMOCRATS s.-The
Douglas Democrats of Stockton met at that
place, on Friday evening last, and held an
enthusiastic jubilee. Eloquent speeches were
made, and the following resolutions passed
WHEREAS, The recent election in Illinois
has resulted in the triumph of the anti Le
compton Democrats and the success of Judge
Douglas over the "allied forces" of RcpuLli-
cans and Buchananites, and in the defeat of
the Lecompton policy ofthe Federal Admin
iration:
Resolped, That we hail the result with Joy,
as proud triumph of the great principle of
Popular Sovereignty.
Resolved, That the return of the Hon. S.
A. Douglas to the United States Senate, now
rendered certain, gives assurance that neither
the seduction of power nor alurements of Co
vernment patronage can induce the true De
mocracy to swerve from Democratic princi-
Piles or desert a faithful public servant
Resolved That, in the larguage of Senator
Dixon, now of Kentucky, at has remained
for Judge Douglas alone, Northern man as he
is, to throw himself into the imminent dead
ly BREACH and like the steadfast and ever.
lasting rock of the ocean, to Withstand the
fierce tide of fanaticism, and drive back those
angry billows which threatened to engulph
his cOuntry's happiness.
Resolved, That in the Hon. Stephen A.
Douglas we recognize the great conservative
Statesman of the Union-knowing 10 North
and no South, and around whom all National
men can safely rally as candidate for the
Presidency Of the United States.
Resolued, That the proceedings ofthis meet
ing be published in the Daily Stockton Ar.
