In pursuance of notice portion ofthe Democracy

act in the trying exgences of the country and

Esq, W. A Owens requested to act as Secretary
DR. Fox, in few well delivered and pertinent re-
marks explained the object of the meeting.

and resolutions:
Whereas all laudable and honorable efforts having
been exhausted in reconciliation of the existing diff

the National organization of the Democratic party and

f they have onepropose TERMS and shall be found
as ready any one to con:ede all that be done
fairly.
There are other points in connection with this mat
ter that might bring the attention of the demo-
cratic party but this article has already been extended
farther than desired. We might show that some of
those who have been active in getting up Doug
las movement in the State, old disorganzers. In
justice to Mr. Myers will say that this remark does
not apply to has past and action with the demo-
cratic party But for the present refrain from fur
ther remarks. What have said, we felt it duty
not only to the democratic party of the county, but to
the delegates to Baltimore and to position to
say and it did not proper to pass Mr. Myers cir
cular in silence We entertain much respect for Mr.
Myers-we have endeavored to say nothing that would
offend him any other democrat-but the question
had to be met, and hope have met respectful
ly and fairly We willing to leave the with
the people, and whatever may be the consequences
shall continue to pursue just such think
right and best calculated maintain the principles
and ascendancy of the democratic party. The friends
of Breckenridge in this county have done nothing TO
cause disorganization-they have sprung new move
ment but content to sustain and abide by the de-
cison of their regularly appointed delegates to the
National Convention.

FIRST FLAG FOR BRECKENRIDGE
AND LANEii

CASTOR all right for the National Democracy
Mr. EDrroR The National Democrats hoisted to-day
the 7th, the first Flag in the campaign and the
of "Breckinridge and Lane and equal Rights in the
Territories" float proudly to the breeze, Ito feet
hight
The enthusiasm in this county for candidates
almost unparalleled To give feint idea that such is
the case, i: was remarked by some Tuesday
evening last "Suppose hoist flag for Breckenridge
and Lane" The proposition spread like wild fire in
an old sedge-feld. The Democratic Ladies of the
neghborhood went to work the Flag, and the men
went to the woods and procured tough material of
Hickory ever went into Democratic Pole. The
Flag and Pole being completed, and a considerable
number Of friends being the ground. pro-
ceeded to erect the pole, which did in fifteen min
utes from the time the word given. Our pole is
ITO feet high, and the flag is Is feet long, by "a feet
wide.
There were between so and 100 persons present and
the pole approached perpendicular position the
air made to ring cheer after cheer went forth
from the joyful thrOng.
After the erection of the pole calls made for
talented young townsman, d. Schenck, Esq., who came
forward and delivered a speech of about fifteen min
utes, during which he pointed our Banner just
hoisted saying that the South claimed Equal Rights
in the Notwithstanding more, nothing ess--that
our platform National one which the entire
Democratic party throughout the length and breadth
of the Union stand His speech was patriotic and
eloquent and was loudly applauded.
Calls then made for that unfaltering Democrat
the member elect to the next House of Commons from
this county, James ii. White, Esq, who made a few
remarks and after three hearty cheers for Breckn-
ridge and Lane the meeting adjourned
From the present indications in the political horizon
my impression is that this county will give larger
majority for Breckenridge and Lane than ever CIV
for democrat before. There several democrats
who ,oted for Pool on the ad valorem question, that
will support our ticket. Also there some Wings
helping to raise Flag that voted for demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency in their lives who
enthusiastic in their support of candidates. In
fact far informed there is very little interest
taken in this county for any other of the candidates
spoken of for the Presidency and if every county does
well as think this county will do, the State will go
for Breckenridge and Lane in November by
whelming majority. CASTOR

pag~ The Senior Editor of the Fayetteville Oh
server, writing from Saratoga to his paper, in
speaking Of the probability that the Douglas men
are for Bell and Everett as their second choice,
says:
81 heard from we'll informed North Carolina
friend whom [ fell in with my way here, that
such is the to a large extent among the Doug
las party in our State That party will form an
Electoral Ticket at the Convention called by Mr.
Dick on the 30th inst, and whether the friends of
Douglas vote for it for their second choice, Bell
and Everett the State will be for the latter.
We cannot say whether the "North Carolina
friend informed the editor of the Observer cor
rectly not as to the preferences of the Douglas
men for Bell and Everett next to Douglas, but we
think it is time for the democratic party of the
State to understand the matter, and, if the Doug
las men are determined to work into the hands of
Bell and Everett, see that they do not do so under
the cloak OF democracy.
DIFFICULTY AT THE N. G. UN1vERs1TY.-A
correspondent at Chapel Hill, under date of Aug.
10th, writes to the Petersburg Express as follows:
'The other day there were three hundred and
thrty-fve students in the University of North
Carolina. But of the ninety odd Sophs., the Facu-
ty has lately dismissed sixty odd. One of them
tried his hand at plagueng a new student, and
came very near being thrashed The Faculty
added a new punishment to show their disappro-
baton of the barbarous practice. Whereupon,
the Sophs., to assert their right to strangers,
resolved to absent themselves from their duties
until their colleague restored. At first all of
the class at the University, except eleven, engaged
in the rebellion; but when the sentence of the
Faculty fell, it caught between 60 and 20 only"
