Keep the Ball Rolling.

Recollect how short time will intervene between to-
day and the day of election. Now is the time to work
to arouse the enthusiasm of Democratic voters-to
warm the apathetic to confirm the waverng-in Short
to bring out our strength Newspaper arguments can
now avail little 1t is now to man, each man with
his neighbor. 1t is now mainly the spoken word and
the stirring appeal. 1t is not now that Democrats
should abandon their flag stay supney at home, when
the banner of the constitution flung the breeze and
borne aoft by men like John G. Breckenridge and Jo-
seph Lane.
Why cannot some earnest Democrats in each precinct
organize themselves into working committee-a COM
ittee to labor from now until the going down of the
sun on Tuesday, November the 9th?
We would beg to remind Democrats of the large cal
cuations which the Opposition make upon their apathy
upon falling off in their votes. Will this be D.
The opponents of Democracy are leaving no stone un
turned-they strainng every and every muscle
to defeat u.s.
1t is not the mission of Democratic speakers to pre-
pare the Southern mind for the election of Abe Lincoln
it their prouder duty to endeavor to place the whole
South in position to act unitedy for his defeat and
that by the electoral colleges 1t is their duty and the
duty and the mission Of the Democratic party of North
Carolina place the State in line with her Southern
sisters, when this great effort is to be made.
Let us not now fight the question of what is to
be done in the event of Abe Lncons election Let
now fight defeat that eecton-Lo cast the vote OF the
State for those most likely to accomplish that end.
Should, unfortunately all efforts towards the accom-
plishment of that end fall which may Providence forbid
then let us all take earnest council together to the
course best to be pursued but let not prematurey
divide ourselves a speculation or on contingency
still less let play into the hands of the Black Republ
cans by volunteering submission to their behests il
advance. Acting as man, boldly yet without threa
or menace let US labor to avert evil If cannot
it, let US then be prepared to meet it w
all love the Union. There too many ties binding
all to it-too many glorious traditions connected witt
it, for any of us to lightly contemplate its rupture But
for all that, must forget let others forget
that it is only Union of equality and of equal right
that it is precious. That after ALL this equality an
these rights, which constitute the soul and spirit of tn
Union, and without which it would be but inequalit
and negaton of rights are dearer to feemen than th
mere of Union without the spirit of the Constu
ton.
The disunionsts, per Se-disunionists for dsunio
sake few and powerless We trust that if the issu
does come come it may there will be still fewer SUI
regard Union with the North or with anybody not to
dearly bought at the price Of ireriority and of
sion.

The Meeting on Friday.

We did not hear the speaking down at the meeting
ground, after dinner. We understand that Mr. Davis
made reference in his speech to his views expressed
some time previously at the Town Hall, complaining
that he had been uuusty found fault with on account
of such views If rightly informed, he took the
ground Friday that with North Carolina he would
be found in any contest standing by his State right or
wrong but would not be dragged into disunon by the
course of other States.
Mr.. Fuller's remarks it would appear, mainly
anecdotal and, so we are told he pitched in good
humoredy. Of the speaking at night we heard little.
Mr.. Meares alluded pretty sharply to Gov. Wnsow,
but did not catch any remark that could bear on the
canvass He, like Mr.. Fuller, was strong on the stories
and, no doubt amused his audience
The dinner provided unquestouably plentiful and
wellprepared. For that we iced no other guarantee
than the fact that Mr. John Bishop of the Pilot House
got it up
So far as the arrangements were concerned, then il
was no doubt pleasant time for opposition friends
and thus passed of satisfactorily, but in the i'm
portant element of numbers it was very defective Al
a Mass Meeting it was failure. A Mass Meeting o
four to five hundred persons rather contradiction
terms. In one respect however, all may look back tt
the occasion with pleasure, at least without regret
We did not hear an angry word between Democrats
and oppostionists during the whole day. This was al
1t should be- Let US at the South fight our civil battles
in peace.
