The following article from the Charlotte Demo-
crat will meet the cordial approval of every Demo
crat in North Carolina:
DEMOCRATIC MEETINGs.-We notice that in vari-
GUS parts of the state Democratic meetings have
been held for the purpose appointing delegates to
the State Convention to be held at Raleigh on the
9th of March for the purpose Of nominating Dem
ocratc candidate for Governor, and to District Con-
ventons to select delegates to the National Conven-
ton at Charleston.
In every meeting so far, the administration of
Gov Ellis has been cordially approved and he rec
commended for denomination. We believe this is
the sentiment of the Democracy of the whole State
Of course it is expected that we should be friend
ly disposed to Gov. Ellis and his administration, but
we can say, sincerely, that IN all our intercourse
with politicians and public officers, we have never
found one who was more anxious to discharge his
duties honestly, fairly, and in such way as would
promote the interests of the State and her citizens
than John W. Ellis While he is decided party
man, his actions are not governed entirely by polit
ical or sectional considerations but by an earnest
desire to do right and discharge the responsible du
ties of his official station so that NorthC Carolina may
have honor and the people profit THEREBY

Mr.. EDITOR: While the public mind is pregnant
with the dark and ominous position of the black re-
publican party, regards the South it seems to me
to be not only opportune but sngulary proper that
the question should be propounded to certain per-
sons who aspire to political distinctions what will
be their actions if the contest is between demo-
crat and black republican as it surely will be for
the Presidency? How will they vote at the elec-
tons? VIII they aid in the election of black re-
publican by the fimsy pretext of voting for Millad
fsttnore? or will they effect their purpose by re-
naming passive and not vote at all What SAYS
