DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN ROBSON.


According to previous notice large number Of
the Court House in Lumberton on Monday, 9th
inst, it being County Court week.
On motion, Thos. A. Norment was called to the
chair, and James A. Rozier and Henry F. Pitman
were requested to act as Secretaries
On taking the chair, the chairman returned thanks
to the large and intelligent crowd before him for the
honor conferred on him; and after stating the OBJ
ject of the meeting proceeded for one hour to ex-
plain the action Of the Baltimore Convention, and
in very forcible manner clearly showed that Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas was the regular nominee of the
Democratic party; he having received 2l2 votes
in that convention, when its action was made unan-
imous; and that the Democratic party was bound by
every principle of honor and justice to support the
nomnees,-our primary meetings and our State
convention all pledged themselves to support the
nominee But what do we now see? faction seced-
ing from the regular party-holdng an unauthoriz-
ed meeting, at the head of which was VIM L. YAM
cey; they number 100, and Breckenridge and Lane
are declared the candidates of the Scceders Now
who would have thought that Breckenridge and
Lane wonld have accepted of such nomination,
knowing as they did that it would divide our party,
and perhaps defeat the regular nominees. They
have been led astray-they have seeded and gone
from us-they have both committed political sui
cide-they have chosen their company but they
will regret the step they have taken all their lives
Let our motto be, Trust IN God and perserere,n
and we will succeed in electing our regular nom-
nees in spite of them. The speech was highly ap-
| pauded.
Col. Alex. Watson then made a very good speech
urging our people to stand BY the nominees, and
not be led astray, and was loudly applauded
Col. Neill A. Mclean was then called for, and
made very clear and effective speech in support of
the nominees, which was we'll received and often
loudly appauded. -
After which the following resolutions were adopt
! ed unanimously:
Resotced, That we regard Stephen A. Douglas,
our nominee for President bold and patriotic
statesman true to the whole country faithful to the
Constitution and laws of the Union and Just to the
equal rights of all the States; and that in Herschel
V. johnson we have one of Georgia's noblest sons,
and far seeing statesman of whom the whole ma
! ton way we'll be proud
| Resolced, That under the banner of national De-
mocracy, our country--our whole country-has
fourished and prospered until is the great
est country on earth. And all efforts now made to
change its principles or require new tests of Demo
| cracy productive of evil to the best interests of
| the American people.
cy of Robson county, in convention assembled, do
declare firm adhesion to the doctrine of non-in-
| tervcntion by Congress on the question of slavery
