Enthusiastic Breckenridge and Lime Rati fcation
WeetiRg-Jdmes Buchanan Takes tie Stump
AgainSt DougL0s!
WASHINGTON, July Q, 10 P. MA large and en-
thuSiastic meeting to ratfy the nomination of Brock
inrdge and Lane, held here tonight in front OF
the City Hall.
Among the long list of distinguished speakers
from abroad as expected to be present, but two
made their appearance, viz:
Judge Meek, of Alabama, and Gov. Stevens, of
Washington Territory, successor of the celebrated
Fayette McAIullen, Esq.
Both speakers condemned "Squatter Sovereign
ty" in strong and pointed language and characteriz
ed the proceedings of the Douglas Convention as in
tolerant and ant-demoerat. They claimed that the
Breckenridge wing was the National Democracy, as
they advocated equal rights in the Territories.
One of tue ward clubs, preceded by band of
music, Serenaded old Mr. Buchanan, who acknowl-
eyed the compliment in characteristic speech, and
to the "utter establishment" Of everybody, closed
by endorsing the nominees of the Seceders Mr..
Buchanan will support Breckenridge and Lane!

We see by the papers that letters and dispatches
were received by Mr.. Douglas friends at Baltimore
authorizing them Gf they thought propose to with
draw his name and 20 for some other man who en-
tertained the samc views with himself No such
letter was read in the Convention previous Ia the
Withdrawal OF delegates. Chdr. Dcmocrm.
No such letter was read in the Convention pre-
viOuS to the withdrawal of the delegates, for the
reason that no opportunity was allowed to read it,
As soon as the Convention was organized the seceS
sion commenced. No letter could have been read
before, except to an unorganizcd body of men, Eir-
ginia. whose delegates refused to secede at Charles
ton, seeded at Baltimore because the Charleston
ceders were rot admitted Virginia knew that New
York was pledged to pass the Tennessee resolution
If her delegates had remained Ne,r York "owid
hare passed ii, with the aid of other States This
fact has recently been stated by Dean Richmond and
others of the New York delegation.

The Tin Cnp DmSinrSs.

Mr.. Pool affects to he greatly dissrunted at the
idea that he is in favor of taxing every thing accord
ing to its value, tin cups included Mr. Pool is Ger
tainly for this or he is against his platform, for his
platform includes every thing from tract ofand TO
tin cup. Besides Mr.. Turner, in the Convention
which nominated Mr.. Pool, proposed to exempt tin
cups from taxation, but the Convention deliberately
rejected Mr.. Turner's proposition. The ConcentioH
refused to exempt tin c"pS.
We understand Mr.. Pool gets angry and shows
fight on this tin cup business This is the best evil
dence that Mr. Pool sees defeat staring him in the
face. Mr.. Pool may well keep his temper. The
dogdays are approaching, and he will need all the
philosophy he summon to his assistance to Solacc
and bear him up after the first Thursday in August

LET HIM "TARRY At JERICHO UNTIL HIS REAEp
GEOwS."-We learn that in a Democratic meeting
held in the town Of Salisbury Saturday evening
last Mr.. William l.. Sanders took occasion to d.
nounce the North Carolina Standard as aithl, IS to
the Democratic party, and to express the opinion
that it ought to be denounced by every Democrat in
the State.
Now. we have no idea Of wasting our ammunition
on fop> and tomtits; but this young man might just
we'll lac told that we were working for Democratic
principles before he knew what Democracy was
Certainly he has right to his own opinion about
the Sahdtrd and the right to express that opinion;
hut il Mr.. William L. Sanders of the town q! Sails
bury, su?poSeS that we designed to refer TO linn
in any Of our recent Editorials, he is mStakcn.-
We have not thought OF Mr.. Sanders for several
months past. But fer the cdiiication of the young
gentleman we make the following quotation from
the 10Th chapter Of 2d Samuel:
shaved eft the one half IF their boards and cut off
their garments in the middle, even to their * * =;
and sent them away. When they told it unto Da-
vid. he sent to meet them, because the men were
greatly ashamed And the king SAID larry at
Jericho until your boards be grown, and then re-
turn"
As David said unto his messengers, so VIC say I'M
to Mr. W. L. Sanders, of the town Of Salisbury.
"Tarry at Jericho until your beard be grown"

Donslas and breckenridge.

Our Democratic friends will be better able than
they now are to appreciate the difficulties of our po-
slton, when We inform them that We are receiving
letters every day from persons whom we highly res
pect some of them urging us to raise the Douglas,
and others the Breckenridge banner. For example,
three leading Democrats in Mccklenburg county,
three others west of this and several east and north
of Raleigh, have written in favor of Douglas;
while leading Democratic citizen of the Albemare
country, and other good Democrats have written us
in favor of Breckinrdgc. The communication which
we publish to-day, in favor of Douglas, signed 4
friend to the continuance or the ERiOn," is from
the pen of large STAKEHOLDER and sterling Demo-
crat in the county Of Granville. We talked with a
Democrat day two since from the Forsyth
country, who assured us that the rank and file of
the Democracy in that region are in favor of Doug
las and nonntervention; and that unless fair terms
are offered TO the Doug las men, many of them will
vote for Bell and Everett. This friend told that
the Democrats with whom he had conversed are
heartily sick Of the slavery agitation, and that they
are opposed to any action on the subject by Con-
gress, except to sustain the President in carrying
out the decisions of the Supreme Court He aSSur-
ed us also that Constitutional Union is upper
most in the hearts of all with whom he had con-
versed; and that the people, without regard to par
ty, are opposed to Yanccy and his followers in the
States south of North Carolina.
We feel bound to state that the weight of prefer
ence, as indicated by the letters have received,
is in tdrOr Of Douglas; and we feel bound to state
also, that in opinion a majority uf the lcadn"
Democrats Of the State IN tarOr Of BreckiHridge
Under these circumstances what are we to do? We
think our Course is plain, and that is to raise no
NAME but to await the seton Of the Democratic
party of the State. Meanwhile both tickets end
both sides shall have full ard fair hearing in our
columns.

New JERSEY-The Trenton On j. True Ameri-
can, whose Editor, a delegate at Baltimore, voted
against Douglas. has hoisted the flag of Douglas and
Johnson, believing that the Democratic masses of
New Jersey are for them. The editor says that Mr.
Douglas will poll larger vote IN the State than any
other candidate before the people, and adds that he
comes before the country as the nominee of con-
vention whose platform is approved by the Demo-
received majority of the votes of the convention
which nominated him, and being its regular nomi
nee.

Is TENSEssEE.-Regarding Judge Douglas as the
national candidate--says the Memphis Appeal-as
the man agalst whom the black Republicans will
make their main and most formidable assault, and
the man who has defeated them against greater
odds than was ever encountered in any contest who
has met their mobS and sent back defiance to their
misses who has been burned in cfgy at every cross
roads hamlet by these contemncrs of the Constitu-
ton, and whose prospect of again defeating them is
better than that of any living man. in our Judgment
we shall continue to advocate his cause and urge
our friends to his support.

Changing his Tune.

We understand that Mr.. Pool now that he is in
the West, is in the habit of boasting the stump
that he has always stood by Western interests and
uniforHlly voted for Western appropriations. Now
the journals of the Legislature and the speeches of
Mr.. Pool in his former campaigns for the LegiSla-
ture, all the other way. So far from having IA
YoTed the West by his speeches and votes Mr.. Pool
has always been against the West 1t is wei! known
that in his contests for the Legislature with Mr. Jor
DIN and Mr. AlbertSon he took ultra ground against
Western interests and Western appropriations; and
that, upon every stump in his District, he held up
Mr.. Jordan aithless to his constituents because
he had voted in the Assembly for Allegany County
and for the Western Extension.
And vet in the face of these notorious facts Mr..
Pool is changing his tune as he goes West, and has
the assurance to claim that he has been Just towards
the Western people. We take this occasion to say
to the Western people that we have favored and adj
vOcated every scheme for years past, the object Of
which was to afford them facilities for getting to
market, and we know all those Eastern Wings who
have been Just and liberal towards the West We
recolect that on several occasions have stood
side by side, in advocating Western interests with
such Eastern Wings as Joseph B. Cherry but we
have no recollection of any effort, on any occasion,
by John Pool to advance Western interests. On
the contrary, he has uniformly been regarded in
Raleigh, as at home at least Indifferent to West
ern improvements. All his votes on important and
material questions, have been against the West.
The effort to produce the impression that Gov.
Ellis has reflected the Western people, that he
is indifferent to their interests and prosperity will
prove unavaiIing. Himself Western man, and the
ardent and consistent advocate of internal improve
ments, he was exerting himself to forward schemes
Improvement designed to benefit the West, before
Mr. Pool was at all known in public life He is the
same man now that he was when he exerted himself
for the Central Railroad the Atlantic Railroad the
Wilmington and Rutherford Railroad, and the West
ern Extension. The paramount interest of the Vest
ern people at this time is the Railroad interest-
They know, as we do, that in this respect John w.
Ellis is thoroughly with them. 1t is not necessary
that he should make any new professions of regard
Tor Western interests. Mr. Pool may make such
professions but the Western people will not receive
them as sincere in the face of his acts the other
way
