The Douglas Policy in this State.

The following resolution, among others, was adopt
ed by the late Douglas Convention
"Resolred, chat 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 candi-
date"
This resolution, it will be observed makes no dis
tnction between Breckenridge and Bell. The Con-
vention, so far as we 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 positions Are they ready
to vote for Electors instructed to vote as soon for

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 disunon as Doug
las or Bell can be, though it is probable he would
not 20 as far in the use of force to maintain the Union
as the former would. If it be used objection
answered that Douglas is supported by Forney, and
Bel 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 Breckenridge
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

done by running Douglas tickets in the South and

CHARLOTTE, N. c., AuI

CHARLOTTE N. c., Aug %, 1860. !,
In pursuance of notice. portion Of the Democ-
racy of the old county of Meckenburg, assembled
in the Court House at Charlotte, at 10 O'Clock, A.
~, for the purpose of considering how they should
act in the present eXgencies of the country and the
party.

On motion of W. F. Davidson, Esq, W. 4. Owens
was requested to 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 laudabe and honorable efforts hav-
ing been exhausted in a 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
Rtsolred, That further concession on the part Of
the friends of Judge Douglas would be humiatng,
humanity, and unbecoming the spirit of freemen.
We therefore, pledge to each other and to the
try persistent and determined opposition to the
mschievous hereses and new party tests that have
we'll nigh disrupted the national organization of the
Democratic party, and WILL if successful, compass
the dissolution of the Union itself
ResolUed That the spirit of Intervention is revo.
lutionary, dangerous, unwise, calculated to excite
anilnosities and social discord That of non-inter
vention bears upon its face the noblest efforts of
best and greatest statesmen, subordnang all party
ties to duty and to country, instance the far famed
Georgia platform of 1S4s, the utimatum 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
of 1856 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 te
determine for themselves as to its establishment
rejection, subject only to the Constitution of the
United States.
Resotred That we congratulate the State and the
country from the fact that We are to have the wise
counsels and distinguished presence Of the Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas on the 3Oth inst, in mass meet
ing at the city Of Raleigh, and earnestly urge al
good men of all parties to join in The reception
that distinguished stranger and patriot.
DR.. Pitchford, 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.

On motion, the meeting adjourned.

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, well as those De-
mocrats who still adhere faithfully to the principles
of the party as enunciated in the platform of the
last State convention, and that suggestion having
been rendered nugatory by the almost unbroken
opposition of the friends of Judge Douglas, they
have called the Democrats who stand on the
Missouri platform, and who resolved to maintain
the principles enunciated by the National Conven-
ton that nominated Breckenridge and Lane, to hold
State Convention to assist in the election of those
gentlemen. To that call James D. Hughes, membey
for Missouri in the Democratic National Committee,
has responded, and he calls on the people Of Mis-
souri, to hold county meetings to elect delegates to
Convention to be held at Jefferson City, on the 2lst
September.
