Mr. DOUGLAS SPEEcH-On the 18th and 18th in
stant (says the Charlotte Democrat) Mr.. Douglas
made great speech in the U. S. Senate in support
the Territories. The speech is triumphant vindi-
cation of the principle that Congress ought not to
interfere with slavery but leave the people of the
States and Territories to establish prohibit it as
they may elect And he proves that the State Legs
latures of Florida and Georgia State Convention of
Georgia as we'll as of other Southern States the Hon.
Geo. z. Badger of th-Carolina, Henry Clay, and
other distinguished men North and South, have ad
vOcated and supported the same principle for which
he Oouglas) is now contending. No man, UMPIRE
JUDGED by party feelings can read the speech and
then say that Stephen A. Douglas is an unsafe man
for the South to trust.

In accordance with previous notice, large por

for the purpose of nominating candidates to repre-
sent this County, in the next Legislature.
The meeting was organized by calling Col. W. L.

The Approac 3 Eleetion.

1t is apparent that the opponents of the Demo
cratic party are making united and desperate eff
fort to carry the State in August next Under
these circumstances it will not do for the Democrats
to presume on their former strength If they would
retain power they must be yigilant industrious, en-
ergetc, united,-they must work as they did in for
mer campaigns. -E =. .,gs.e
Thus far the Democrats have brought out their
strongest men for the Legislature, and generally
they have done so through Conventions as the best
means for combining the energies of the party in
favor of the candidates These candidates will soon
take the field. We appeal to them while taking
care of themselves to take also of the general
cause OF Democracy in the State. We would re-
specially urge them to do every thing in their pow
er to promote harmony and concord-to discounten-
ance dsloyaty and prospective divisions with refer
ence to the national Democratic cause, now more
imperilled than at any former periodic advocate
no State issue in such way as to drive voters from
the party, but, on the contrary, to pursue such
course in this respect will give both themselves
and Gov Ellis the advantage in the contest of every
Democratic vote in the State. We cannot afford at
this crisis brother Democrats to reject the aid of
any who profess to be, and who really Jefferso-
MAN and Jackson Democrats. At the same time
organization must be maintained. Those who set
themselves up against organization cannot expect to
be successful by the aid of any portion of the organ
lied Democracy.
We would also respectfully urge not only the
Democratic people but Democratic candidates for
the Legislature to stand by the candidate for Gov
ernor. Let the candidates in all the Counties ex-
plain Gov. Elliss views from the stump, and defend
him against the false charges of the Opposition. He
is doing his duty to the best of his physical and
mental ability; but is impossible, in the nature of
things for him to and address one-third of
the voters of the State. He must rely and he does
rely largely the efforts Of his friends. We be-
eve he will be triumphantly reelected, and we be-
leve also that the Legislature will be Democratic by
handsome majority on joint ballot But we must
show our beliei-our faith by our works. Let us
determine one man to hold up the hands of our
candidate for Governor; and from this time forth
until the election, and especially during the month
of july let US work for the cause as we worked in
1S4s and 1850. Let us do this and the victory we
shall achieve will be worthy of our standard-bearer
and of the great cause whose flag he bears.
