the same matter, aud we recommend as our

AMI whether native or foreign bonn
"ReSolrei, That one of the necess ,ras OF

Without any public notice whatev'
er, and with but little premeditation
a large number OF the Democrats o
M'Arthur assembled in Bratton';
Hall, on Saturday evening last and or
ganizod BY appointing Judge Hewitt
Chairman and II. S. Hamilton Sec.
retary. The Chairman stated the OBJ
iect ofthe meeting to be reformation
of Douglas Club. Mr.. Bingham
submitted the draft of a Constitution
which, after filling blanks, was adopt
ed. Every Democrat present then
signed the Constitution, and the Clut
proceeded to elect the following per
manent officers.
President-Judge B, P. HEWITT.
Vice Presidcnl--A. J. SWAIN
Secrstary-C. p. WARD.
Treasurtr-S. c. CASE.
A Committee of three, consisting
of Mes8rs. Bingham, BrattOn anC

laws.
On motion Messrs. Hewitt anc
Bratton were invited to address the
Club at its next meeting.
On motion Mr.. Bingham was in

experience at Charleston and Balti
more, at his earliest convenience.
The club adjourned to meet on
Tuesday evening.
The Club met, pursuant to adjourn,

reported, and the report was adopted
Quite q number came forward and
signed the Constitution, thus bacom
ing members.
Judge Hewitt then addressed the
Club in o very entertaining speech 0.
an hour, and was frequently applaud
ed. Major Bratton was also calle(
out and made spirited speech, buI
the latcness of the hour admonishel
him to close with but a glance at tho
issues before the people. Tho meet
ing was q large one, and we have new
er seen the Democracy in better spir,
it's, nor, indeed, SO wide awake, since
1856. This is attested by the larg,
number who have become members
of the Club.
The Club adjourned to meet on Sat

Not V'Gue,

We learn that the Abolition clique
oi this place have circulated the story
among unsusPectipg and honest
conutrymen, that John G. Breckin.
ridge is the regular nominee Of tile
Democracy for President. They arc
greatly mistaken if they suppose that
such iaIsehoods can long override the
truth. Mr.. Breckinridge, although
elected Vice President by the Demo
Gratis III 1856, now belongs to the Sc
ceSslOn party, the representatives OF
which refused to stand ON the Cincin-
natl platform, and bolted from the
regular National Convention because
it would not repudiate the time-hon-
ored and just principle of non:.inter-
yention.

peril in which the American Union
would be placeda What could be
done under such circumstances to
avert the most disastrous consrquuR-
ccs? But one thing and one only
and that would be to prevent congress
from meddling with the question At
all. Ii that cou.d not bc done all
hope of the luther existence uI the
Union would be at an end, The ON
Iy compromise, then that could be
IN ale would Ne precisely tho one that
was made in 1850, which WAS agreed
to by the Whigand Democratic par.
ties ia 1852 carried out in good faith
by the Kansas Nebraska act Of 1854
and re.afhrmed by the Democratic
National Conventions Of 1856 and
1850.
1t was because the Charleston Con
ventiOn adhered to this doctrine Of
non.intprvcntion that the 1auceyites
seccdud; and when the convention re
assembled at Baltimore they again
seeded ana nominated Breckenridge
and Lane III a Bolting convention,
because the regular convention refused
to reconsider It's determination tc
adhere to the principle OF non.inter'
venion.
Every man therefore, who votes fOI
Breckinridge thereby declares that
congress should protect slavery in the
territories, whether the people thereof
want it or not;-all who veto for
Lincoln say by that act that slavery
cannot exist in any territory and
should the people thereof want 1t,
congress must prohibit and abolish it.
Those who vote Tor Stephen A.'Doug.
las declare, that congress shall not in.
Ieryene for or against slavery, but
the people Of the territories shall set
tie that, as well as all other domestic
questions for themselves. Choose ye,
which Of these three is national, and
which, if it prevail, will best operate
to preserve the rights Ofthe people and
the Union OF the States.

We lind that quite a number of
Democrats arc laboring under a mis-.
apprehension as to the respective po.
sitions Of Mr.. Douglas and Mr., BrecE-
inridge, in supposing that they both
stand upon the Cincinnati Platform,
unchanged. This is not true. Mr.,
Douglas was nominated by the regu.
lar National Democratic Convention
with more Maa tW0 MirdS Of the en-
tire number Of delegates to that Con
vention remaining in the same upon
the Cincinnati Platform, pure and
simple, being the same platform upon
which james Buchanan and John g.
BrecGinridge received the unanimous
support Of the Democratic party four
years ago. Mr.. Breckenridge is now
in nomination for the Presidency by
a f51O boilers a0hO seeded from The
regular COnvontj0n, because that
Convention refused to incorporate a
SIavecodo plank into the Cincinnati
Platform The boilers Convention,
which nominated Breckinridge adopt,
ed q Slaye.code Platform. Bv q
"Slave-eode" Platform is meant, a
platform calling upon Congress to en-,
act laws for the protection Of Slavery
in all the Territories of the United
States, irre@peotjco Of the e0ilL AID
eci8he8 gf Tie people thereof This
Slave-code doctrine is in utter contra
.diction to the Cncin natl platform
and the well-known and long estab.
lished faith OF the Democratic party,
which is to leave the people of the
States and Territories perfectly free to
regulate their ow n domestic affairs in
their own way, subject only to the
Constitution of the United States. 1t
is said that extremes meet, and VIC
have an example Of that in the ultra
abolitionists Of the North and the
Slave code disunionists of the South.
Both admit that Congress has power
over the subject of Slavery in the
Territories, The abolitionists deny
that Congress can protect Slavery,
but claim that it has power and ought
to abolish and prohibit it in all the
Territories; while the Southern disun-
ionsts claim that Congress has no
power to abolish or prohibit slavery in
the Territories, but has the power and
ought to pass laws to protect slavery
in all the Territories of the United
States.
Between these TWO contending fac
tions, it is the duty Of the Democratic
party to stand as a bulwark to the
Constitution, and as the hope of the
civilized world for the preservation OF
Republican liberty and free inStitu-
tions. If either this Northern or
Southern party, alike sectional in their
organization and principles, obtain
control Of the general government,

How Presidents are Nominated

HOW EfesiucniS are NOHhiNnlcA,
The Convention which nOminates
Democratic candidates for President
and Vice President, is composed ol
delegates selected by the people OF the
several States. Each State is enti-
tied to tbs same number Of votes in
the Convention which she gives in the
electoral co!lege-that is one vOte for
each Representative and Senator in
Congress. In appointing delegates
however, it is customary to select tive
delegates for each vote in the Conven.
ton; for instance, Ohio is entitled to
23 votes, but she sends double that
humber Of delegates to the Conven'
ton, each delegate usually being al
lowed to cast half a vote, which ac
counts for the fractions that some
times occur in tile ballotings.
The late Democratic Convention
was composed Of 303 votes, or COG
delegates. 1t required wo.thirds, OF
POP votes, to nominate candidates. -
But Florida, giving 3 votes, and
South Carolina giving s votes, hav-
ing seeded at Charleston, refused to
send delegates 10 Baltimore--thus
reducing the No., Of votes to 292.--
Mr.. Douglas received the nomination
by 2l2k yotes-the entire number re.
manning in the Convention, 79I votes
having bolted thereirom previous to
the balloting. These 794 votes ad.
ded to 253 votes from outsiders, com
posed the one hundred and five votes
which nominated Mr.. Breckenridge
il the boltins convention.

The EOIieTS' Conventional Dis
UnioEist its HRasteT-SpiTii.


The main and guiding spirit Of the
Boilers Conyentiou at Baltimore, was
MIR. Yancey, the disunionist. lie
was in his element there. lie saw
his hopes Of years assuming shape
and form. lie was in q convention
composed Of boilers from the National
Democracy, and Of Richmond Con-
vention Disunioni5tg. lis speech to
his conftdor&tes showed how his heart
was gejoiced at the prospect of precipi-
tating the Cotton States into q revolu-
ton against the Federal Government.
1t was well that he was there, and
that he took lead in its proceedings:
otherwise the boiling concern would
have been without character. IIa
gave it character-a character like
that which the Hartford Convention
has always sustained, and which this
Baltimors boiling concern will always
sustain, far beyond the dissolution of
the Union. The Secessionists, with
Yancey at their head, came to Balti-
more torno good purpose. Their OBJ
ject was mischief They meant to
ruin the party, by getting the control
Of it, and failing in the latter to setup
au independent organization outside
OF the National Democracy. This lat
ter they have done. The colse-
quences to the party and the country
must be on their own heads. They
are boilers from the regular organiza-
tion, with the taint of disunionism all
ever them. ---CSn. Eng.

that negotiations were on foot al
Washington Oh Tuesday last in which
it was said that certain high dignita.
