Douglas Meeting in North San Juan.

! a letter from reliable citizen Of North
San Juan, Nevada county, informs US that
rousing meeting of the Douglas Democracy,
of that town and vicinity, was held there on
Saturday evening for the purpose of electing
four delegates TO tAe County Convention, to
be held at Nevada City. on the LIST day OF
September 1t was gathering together Of
the real "unterrifed," the real lovers of the
Union-who regard the election Of the "Lit.
tie Giant of Illinois as the only feasible
means of saving the American Confederacy
from the reasonable Vaccinations of its ene-
miles, whether of the North OF the South r
W. Longhead, sterling and well tried patri
OF, was appointed Chairman, and N. c. Gil
ler another sterling and well tried patriot, a
gallant soldier on more than one Mexican
battle field, was appointed Secretary. The
business of the meeting was not Of that char
acter that can afford to be filtered away in
what is called enthusiasm. A deliberate du-
ty was to be performed-to select four
staunch Democrats to honestly and intelli-
gently represent the feelings and wishes o.
their constituents-and that duty was per-
formed 10y the almost unanimous selection OF
the following named gentlemen: S. II. Fow-
Ter, J. B. Lane, w. Heaton and n G. Ciller.
In point of social position these gentlemen
have no superiors in Nevada county.
The meeting was eloquently and impress
lively addressed by J. B. johnson, Esq, OF
North San Juan, conclusively exhibiting the
trckery and treachery of the Charleston and
Baltimore secessionists, and proving, by the
logic of living facts, that Mr. Douglas pre-
sents the only safe point d dppui upon which
the real friends of the Union can rally. His
remarks were received with unbounded APP
plause, and were Immediately followed by
the unanimous and exultant adoption of the
| following resolutions
RESOLVED, That STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS and HER
sCHEL V. JOHNSON are the regular nominees OF the
Democratic party for President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States, and that we pledge tc
them our mutual support.
RESOLVED, That the Boilers, who withdrew from
| the Charleston Convention and organized Sece'
ders' party, headed by John G. Breckinridge
and Joseph Lane, have placed themselves outside
ofthe Democratic party, and have, therefore, for
feited their claims to the support OF the Democra
cy of the Union.
RESOLVED, That the agitation of the subject OF
slavery in Congress, is fraught with danger to the
Union and should be left to the people Of the Ter.
ritores to decide for themselves thereby estab
fishing the doctrine of POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY in
the Territories Of the Union.
A significant feature of the meeting ant
one which has more of consequence in it
than might strike careless eye, wOs thai
the meeting Composed of the very best citi-
zens, in and around North San Juan,) equally
represented the northern and southern sec
tions of our common country. Men, from tn,
free and the slave States, here met as broth
ers, and, ignoring all geographical preudices
joined, heart and hand, in swearing fidelit,
to the American Union, and in pledgin,
themselves to the support of that tieke
which, in their estimation, bids fairest to saw,
