Democracy in Council.

The meeting of the Democracy of this
county yesterday in this city was by long odds
the largest and most respectable that was ever
convened here on any similar occasion. Col.
w. II. johnson presided over it with his ac-
customed dignity. On taking the Chair he
delivered an address that breathed nothing
but the purest patriotism and the warmest
love for the South and her fundamental insti-
tutions. It was composed of the best mater
ial, and we are proud to state that it took high
and manly grounds on the questions so mater
tally affecting our rights. During the absence
of the committee on resolutions the house was
addressed by Van A. w. Anderson, Esq,
and Mai. E. G. Marble in speeches repIete
with eloquence and patriotism. Col. Fall,
who was present and invited to speak, de-
clined doing SO, but fully endorsed and ap-
proved the action Of the seeding delegates at
Charleston. The few remarks that he made
went home to the conviction of his audience
Gen. McCardle also addressed the meeting by
request in short sententious speech in which
he took the highest Southern grounds, declar
ing his devotion to the fortunes of the South
and his contempt for all parties and all party
platforms tnat did no come up to full re-
cognition of the doctrines held so dear by us
OF the South. Take it all in all we had a
glorious meeting.

fishing this call says:
Public opinion has declared itself so en-
phatically in commendation of the action of
our delegates to Charleston that the Conven-
ton will be equally emphatic in its approval.
We hope, and we believe that its endorse
ment Of the past conduct of the delegation
will not be impaired or modified by imposing
any restraints on their future action. They
have shown themselves true to their mission,
worthy of the confidence reposed in them and
there is no room to doubt that in any emer-
gency that may arise they will continue to
act for the safety and honor of the South No
instructions should be given to them other
than to adhere to the line of policy they
have already adopted and to act in con-
cert with the other delegations which will
meet at Richmond. circumstances demand
that they go to Baltimore, they will be far
better able to Judge Of the character of those
circumstances and of the course proper to be
pursued in such an event, than Convention
