From the Charlotte Bulletin.l
DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
CHARLOTTE n. c..

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. %, 1860.
In pursuance of notice, portion of the Democ-
racy of the old county of Mecklenburg, assembled
in the Court House at Charlotte at 10 o'clock, A.
NJ, for the purpose of considering how they should
act in the present exgencies of the country and the
party
On motion of W. W. Elms, Esq, Dr. CD Fox
was appointed chairman of this meeting, and
On motion of W. F. Davidson, Esq, W. A. Owens
was requested 10 act as secretary.
DR.. Fox, in few well delivered and pertinent re-
marks, explained the object of the meeting
W.R Myers introduced the following preamble
and resolutions:
WHEREAS, All laudable and honorable efforts hav-
ing been exhausted in reconciliation of the exist
ing difficulties pending between the Douglas and
Breckenridge Democracy on the part of the friends
in this county of that great statesman and patriot
the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, it is therefore
Resolred, That further concession on the part Of
the friends of Judge Douglas would be humiliating
unmanly, and unbecoming the spirit OF freemen.
We therefore, pledge to each other and to the
try persistent and determined opposition to the
mschievous heresies and new party tests that have
we'll nigh disrupted the national organization Of the
Democratic party, and viii, if successful, compass
the dissolution of the Union itself
ResOlced That the spirit of intervention is revo-
utiOnary, dangerous, unwise, calculated to excite
animosities and social discord That of non-inter-
ventOn bears upon its face the noblest efforts of
best and greatest statesmen subordinating all party
ties to duty and to country instance the far famed
Georgia platform of 1S4S, the ultimatum Of all
Southern men of that day; the Compromise of 1850;
the Baltimore platform Of 1852; the Kansas and
Nebraska bill of 1854 and Of the Cincinnati platform
OflS56 as final settlement Of the existing difficult
ties between the North and the South upon the sub
Ject of negro slavery in the Territories, and the
States leaving the people thereof perfectly free to
determine for themselves as to its establishment or
rejection, subject only to the Constitution of the
United States
ReSOtced, That we congratulate the State and the
country from the fact that are to have the wise
counseIs and distinguished presence of the Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas on the seth inst, in mass meet
Inc at the city of Raleigh, and earnestly urge all
good men of all parties to join in :he reception of
that distinguished stranger and patriot.
Dr. Ptchford VIM. r Myers, Esq, W. F. David
SON. and DR.. Fox, addressed the meeting, showing
the consistency Of and the position of Judge Doug
las in which he is fortified by the record Of every
Democratic statesman North and South.
1t was requested that the Bulletin and Western
democrat publish the proceedings of this meeting.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
G. j. FOX, Chm.
W. A. Owens, Sec'y.

Mr. BREcKINRIDGE's CHANCE.-The question is
frequently asked what are the chances for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Breckenridge? We think he will be
elected by the people, and for the following
1t is conceded on all hands that Douglas cannot
carry single Southern State even if electoral tickets
were formed for him; and the probability now is
that Bell will not carry one State in the Unionhe
may carry one, his own State, Tennessee, but that
is very doubtful Anyhow, one has yet pretend
ed to claim a Northern or Western State for him.
We put down the following States certain for
Breckenridge and Lane:
Delaware 8, Virginia 15 North Carolina TO- South
Carolina 8, Georgia 10, Kentucky IL, Louisiana 6,
Mississippi Z, Alabama 9, Missouri 9, Arkansas 4
Florida g. Texas f. California 4, Oregon g. Maryland
S-total To-
Now we want 81 votes more to make 152, enough
to elect. Take New Jersey Z, and New York, &c.
and we have 158, six more than enough-or take
Pennsylvania 81, New Jersey Z, and Tennessee II,
and we have more than the required number. In
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Pennes-
see the democrats will make determined effort to
carry those States for Breckenridge and it is not
all unlikely that in the three first named, Douglas
and Lincoln will so divide the vote as to insure
the success of the Breckenridge ticket to succeed
for it is asserted that the vote in those two States
will be so split up between Douglas and Lincoln as
to enable the National democrats to triumph. How
ever that may be- we think it is certain that Brock
inrdge and Lane have fair prospect of an election
The contest is between Breckenridge and Lincoln,
and il is the plain duty of every southern man to
aid the former in carrying every Southern State and
thus secure Lincolns defeat. Charlotte Democrat

The Douglas Policy i'm this State.

The following resolution, among others, was adopt
ed by the late Douglas Convention:
"Resolred, That we instruct our Electors to vote
for Douglas and johnson in case it will either elect
them before the people, carry them to the House
of Representatives and in case it will do neither,
they shall cast their votes will best subserve the
purpose of defeating the black Republican cand-
date"
This resolution, it will be observed makes no dis
tinction between Breckenridge and Bell. The Con-
vention SO far judge of it from its record
would as soon see Bell President as Breckenridge.
Will the rank ard file of the Douglas Democrats of
this State endorse that positioni Are they ready
to vote for Electors instructed to vote for
Oppositionist as Democrats John @. Breckin-
ridge is Democrat and Constitutional Union man.
He is opposed to Intervention on the question of
slavery, and he stands upon sound and safe plat
FORM He is as much opposed to disunion as Doug
las or Bell can be- though it is probable he would
not go far nthe of force to maintain the Union
as the former would If it be used as an objection
to him that he is supported by Yancey, it may be
answered that Douglas is supported by Forney, and
Bell by thousands of anti-slavery men.
The truth is but for the presence of Judge Doug
las in this City at the late Convention we believe
that some compromise between the Breckinridge
and Douglas Democrats would have been effected
As it is we have division in the North and division
in the South. How much personal ambition and
sectional feeling have to do with this state of things
the people will judge. The great object of all patri-
OTIS should be to defeat Lincoln but this cannot be
done by running Douglas tickets in the South and
Rrecl< inridoe tickets in the North

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION IN MISSOURI
Senators Polk and Green having endeavored in con-
Junction with other citizens Of Missouri, to get up
State convention in which the friends of Judge
Douglas should be represented, as well as those De-
moerats who still adhere faithfully to the principles
Of the party as enunciated in the platform of the
last State convention, and that suggestion having
oeen rendered nugatory by the almost unbroken
opposition of the friends of Judge Douglas. they
nave ma! called on the Democrats who stand on the
Missouri platform, and who are resolved to maintain
.le principles enunciated by the National Conven.
uon that nominated Breckenridge and Lane to hold
State Convention to assist in the election of those
gentlemen. To that call James d. Hughes, member
IOr Missouri in the Democratic National Committee,
mas responded, and he calls on the people-of Mis-
sour to hold county meetings to elect delegates to
convention to be held at jefferson City, on the 2lst
September.

and threatened the safety Of the Union. That nm
der no circumstances could expect to obtain such
protection from black Republican Congress, and
failing 10 obtain it an appeal TO arms, which neces-
sarily leads to dissolution of the Union IS the only
result which we can reasonably anticipate.
The difficulties between u.s. fellow citizens may,
therefore be summed up in the following interoga-
tories: Shall We observe the compromise under
which we have already obtained New Mexico as
slavehodng territory and will secure all other ter
ritory, as such, where the people want it--that
compromise which removes the difficulty from the
National Council and promises peace to distracted
country; or shall we abandon our agreement de-
nan6 Congressional Intervention for protection
which we know we viii not obtain, and thus create
the circumstances which necessarily " precpitate"
into revolution and a dissolution of the Union p
These questions fellowcitizens we leave the conn
try to decide.
