Mr.. EDITOR: 1t seems to me that there are those
in our State who are determined to do all in their
power to close the door to any reconciliation between
the two divisions of the Democratic party and these
men claim to be good, stauneh Democrats Does not
every man of common sense see that the only way
to bring about harmony and union is to use forbear
ance and kindness? Without State Convention
of the party represented by delegates fresh from the
Democratic people, there will be no chance to har-
monte; the party will be beaten "horse, foot and
dragons" in November next But what is the use
to call Convention if elimination and recrimination
are to be INDUCED in before hand to such an extent
to place it beyond the possibility of that Conyen-
ton reconciling matterss You may expect if this
angry alteration is kept up to the same condi
ton Of things in the State Convention, that existed
at Baltimore. Who can justify the article which
appeared last week in the Tarboro' Mereury?-
Who can justify the contemptuous and sneering at
tacks of the Charlotte Bulletin upon the old line
Wings who have heretofore acted with the Democ-
racyG 1t is unjust and ungenerous, and will carry
the party tc ruin and defeat

Meeting of the Democratic state Committee.

We give below the proceedings Of the Committee
which assembled in this City on Saturday last
At this particular crisis it was thought best to
take no steps towards holding State Convention.
1t anticipated that if meetings to appoint dele
gates to State Convention should be held during
the month of July, the diversity of opinion which
exists among Democrats with reference to the action
at Baltimore would exhibit itself in such way as
would probably injurously affect State elections
But though the Committee made no recommends
ton looking to Convention at this time, it does
not follow that Convention will not be held before
the November election. Some authoritative action
should eertainly6e takrn eitherJya Contention orby
the Democratic State Committee, By rhieh the
phole Democracy Of the State aOiu Be able to unite
on the same Electoral ticket.
We cordially concur with the Committee with ref
erence to the State elections. Laying aside all d.
visions and reconcng all differences" for the pres
ent let unite in the good work of rejecting Gov
Ellis and securing the Legislature. And as the can
ddates for the Legislature about taking the stump
in the various Counties, would respectfully but
earnestly urge upon them the importance of sustain
ing Gov. Ellis and of presenting his claims as the
DeulOCIdllC ocOIc pcOpe- MUCH,
very much can be accomplished in this way. Let
US all-presses candidates, and working Democrats
resolve to do our duty by our gallant standard
bearer. He is doing his duty ably and faithfully.
Let US sustain and encourage him. Let us "warn
the Committees of the various Counties to work
from this time up to the day Of the election, and
pecially on that day. Hundreds-nay, thousands of
votes may be saved on election day. Let US pre-
pare for it by appointing precinct men, and by such
other instrumentalites as may be necessary. 1t is
idle to plant and cultivate the crop and then neglect
to gather it
For the Standard.
At meeting of the State Executive Committee
of the Democratic party of North Carolina in the
City of Raleigh, the 7th inst, the following
lutons were unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That we deem It expedient to defer any
recommendation looking to Convention, or any
other additional party action until after further
sultation with our Democratic brethren throughout
the State
ResolUed, That we respectfully but earnestly re-
commend to all good Democrats to rally for
Thursday in August next, laying aside all divisions
and reconciling all differences, convinced, as we are
that harmony alone is necessary to secure glorious
victory.
Resolred, That this Committee adjourn subject to
the call of the Chairman, at any time when he may
deem it expedient to issue such call.

Mr.. EDITOR: Among the plans for securing the
full weight of the entire Democratic vote in the ap
preaching Presidential contest beg leave to submit
the following
Let us make no change in the Electoral candidates
nor put out any others, but go to work and elect
those have already nominated, with the following
understanding: If when they come to assemble in
December to cast their votes they find that they
elect Breckenridge, let them vote for him, and if
Douglas, let them vote for him. Defeat Lincoln by
all means.
If the vote will elect neither, let it be divided so
to send both to the House of Representatives for
so man gets enough to carry him there it matters
little whether he lacked one or one hundred Of an
election before.
BY agreeing upon plan of this sort we shall be
able to poll our whole strength and make every vote
tell, and do not how it may otherwise be done.
EQUAL RIGHTS.
The plan suggested by our correspondent Equal
Rights" seems to be fair and just to ALL This plan
has been adopted by the Democratic State Commit
tee of Pennsylvania; and if it will work well in that
State we do not see why 1t will not work well in
this. The votes Of the people are cast it must be
remembered, for the Electors. These Electors
pledged in honor to vote for certain persons. The
law of this State provides for the election by ballot
Of ten discreet persons being freeholders" to vote
Nor President and Vice President 1t will make no
difference who the Electors are for and it will make
no difference how the tickets are marked, if they
will pledge themselves to cast the vote of the State
for the strongest candidate against Lincoln. One
voter may mark his ticket with Breckenridge and
Lane, and another with Douglas and johnson; and
they thus while voting for the same Electors,
designate their choice for President and Vice Presi-
dent Is there any thing dangerous, or reasonable,
or undemocratic in that? The highest and best
ground Which Democratic Elector in this State
take toiU be to pledge himself to cote for the
strongest man to defeat the black Republicans

MR. HOLDEN: When we look around us and see
SO much zeal manifested by our opponents in this
ponticai contest, conceive it to be the duty Of
every good Democrat, old young, rich or poor; m
the bounds of North Carolina to bestir himself
North-Carolna knows this and trust she is reused
to the necessity of providing security against afy
farther invasions Of hnmbugery. The Know Moth
ing party in North Carolina, and elsewhere have
devised many plans to defeat the Democratic narty
the only national party in the country. Ever since
its origin it has been guilty of dversties of opera
tons but has always turned out to be the same old
wolf in sleeps clothing They are now proclaim
ing in thunder ton to the voters of NorthCarona
that they are the only party willing to mete out
justice to the poor man at the tax box. Let us,
brother Democrats, look well for whom we cast our
votes. We should cast them for men who love the
Constitution, and have always had the interest of
the poor man really at heart There are several OBJ
ections to their system of taxation which have
been ably discussed by others The only object
they have in view to defeat the Democratic party.
A knowledge of that fact should cause every man to
march up to the polls in August next and cast his
vote for Ellis and the Democratic nominees in every
county in the State. trust the party will continue
tn manifest the same zeal they have now until the
first Thursday in August; if so, in my humble judg-
ment we shall achieve triumphant victory.
Yours truly,

PENNsYLvAN1A.-The plan of union recommended
by the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania
between Douglas and Breckenridge, is given as fol-
lows in the Harrisburg Patriot and Union:
1.-THE plan of union resolved upon is this: The
electors chosen by the Reading Convention are re-
commended to the support of the Democracy, with
the understanding that in the event of their election
they to vote as a unit for Douglas and Johnson
if the electoral vote of Pennsylvania will elect them
but if said vote will elect Breckenridge and Lane
and not Douglas and Johnson then it shall be cast
for them-and in case it will elect neither, by being
cast as unit the electors are free to vote as their
Judgments may dictate.
This plan is entirely fair. If carried out in good
faith it will defeat the election of Lincoln. This
every Democrat wishes to accomplish 1t will elect
Douglas if his election is possible and if it cannot
elect Douglas 1t will elect Breckenridge and if it
elect neither, it makes manner Of difference who
gets it so that Lincoln does not"
The Patriot and Union says it has no idea that
the Democracy of Pennsylvania will ''be guilty of
course so suicidal as the rejection of this PLAN
THE voice of the party" says that paper, Twill go
up from all quarters of the Commonwealth in favor
OF union, and the patriotic action of the State Com
mttee will be endorsed and enforced" And yet,
1or recommending similar plan in this State, we
nave been denounced by Wing and by Democratic
papers in the severest terms We are denounced,
and our motives are assailed, because we counsel
harmony and recommend plans to save the vote Of
the State and cast it so as to defeat Lincolnl Go
on, gentlemen. We leave it to time and events to
indicate our course

~ "The patronage of the federal government
ought not to be brought into conflict with the free
dom of elections" This was a cardinal maxim
with Mr.. Calhoun. If important in his day, how
much more important now, when the wild hnnt
after Office" is so absorbing and apparent ana when
the patronage of the government amounts to eighty
millions Of dollars per annum. Judge Douglas con-
cluded his recent speech in Philadelphia as follows:
1.-THE Constitution of the United States has con-
ferred upon the federal government certain powers
and duties which they ought to perform. Let that
federal government be confined strictly within the
narrow sphere of federal duties, leaving the people
of the States and the Territories free to govern
themselves 1ithout any dictatiOn from federal
officers Tremendous cheers.
