At meeting of the Democratic party, held in the
Court House at Rutherfordton on Tuesday the Goth

Ydncey--R. Don Wilson
CIedretand-A. w. Burton, A. G. Waters, H.
DeK. Cabaniss.
Polk-Dr. Columbus Mills, Geo. j. Mills John
son Ward, Jason Carson.
Mr.. Avery, of Burke was called on and gave an
account of the action of the Charleston convention,
and made a strong speech against Pools adj "a
loren.
Mr. Erwin, of Buncombe then presented the fol-
lowing resolutions, which he said had been deter
mined upon by the prominent Democrats from the
different counties who were present; and which
were unanimously adopted
ResOlred, That the time has arrived when the
safety of the South and the perpetuty of the Union
demand that constitutional rights should be
distinctly and plainly announced and firmly main-
tanned; and that any postponement of such an
nounceinenI upon the ground OF expectancy, or Tor
mere party success can only serve to secure tenn
porary triumph at the risk of the ultimate dissolu-
ton of the national Democratic party.
Resolred That the platform of principles report
ed to the late national Democratic convention at
Charleston by the majority of the committee on the
platform, recognising and asserting as it does the
constitutional and equal rights of the Southern
States in the Territories, meets our appreciation.
Resolred, That we approve Of the action of the
North Carolina delegation in supporting Mr.. Hun
ter of Virginia, and Gen. Lane, Of Oregon for the
nomination for the Presidency; and we earnestly
recommend and confidently expect our delegation
to adhere to either one or the other of those stn
guished gentlemen. But in case the nomination of
either of them cannot be effected. then we recon-
mend our delegation to vote for any man, North or
South who is known to be in favor of the principles
embodied in the majority platform.
Resolred That the mongrel party in North Caro-
lima, now sailing under the name of opposition has
adopted in its platform the ad Ualorem system of
taxation not because it is believed to be necessary
expedent but for the purpose of creating divi-
sion in the Democratic ranks and thereby acquiring
political ascendency in the State.
On motion, the proceedings Of the meeting were
ordered to be published in the Raleigh Standard,
the Salisbury Banner and Charlotte Democrat and
Charlotte Bulletin.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

1t is at the primary meetings that the real bust
ness of any party done, and if partymen neglect
these meetings, they can have right to complain
should matters be subsequently arranged contrary
to their views of party policy proprety. At this
time, particularly, it becomes the imperative duty
of Democrats to close up their ranks and present
solid columns. All true and efficient organization
has its origin and strength among the people
Mere movements Of politicians, unsustained by the
popular will, must finally lose their influence, as
they ought to do
1t is always better to be on hand than to wish

THE ONSLOW LRY-CANDIDATES IN
-7'TE- ONSLOW y

ONSLOW.
Our village was filled to OVERLOOKING on Saturday
last, presenting very gay and lively appearance.
The attractions were the parade of the Onslow Cav
airy ana the speaking of the candidates for the Leg
iislature and Sherifalty.
The appearance of this beautiful corps was uni
Sversaly admired, and much praise was bestowed
upon Capt Ward and the other officers, for the
Epromptness and proficiency displayed in the exer-
tcses of their company. We were informed that
Captain E. W. Ward and Lieutenants John 1. Muir
rili and Robert Dudley were commissioned delegates
to the Goldsboro' Military Convention.
The speaking came off in the afternoon. Francis
D. Koonce, ESQ, one of the Democratic Sub-Elec-
tors for this county, spoke first Mr.. Koonce read
letter from Gov Ellis, stating that the Governor
and Mr. Pool would not be able to visit 0nslow
during the canvass. He then dwelt some time upon
the present aspect of political affairs of the country
and made an eloquent alusion to the distinguished
services, incorruptible integrity and great states
manship of Judge Douglas, expressing the hope
that he might be honored with the Chief Magstracy
of the country.
In conclusion, he referred to the Charleston Con-
vention, and the presence of Col L. W. Humphrey,
a member of that body, whom he hoped to hear
from, and he had no doubt but that he would re-
spond to the wishes of this assembly to hear him.
Col Humphrey appeared and after some happy
remarks addressed to the Onslow Cavalry, and also
in reference to his position candidate for re-
election to the Senate spoke at length, and warmly
in regard to the present attitude OF the Democratic
party, and the adjournment at Charleston, without
making nomination. 1t was the best effort we
ever heard him make. Of that however, we for
bear to speak, as having taken ample notes, We
intend to report his speech in full. Col Humphrey
is candidate for the Senate and without opposition.
He has served six years in the Legislature, having
been elected at the early age of twentythree years
He has ever been faithful representative of the
people, and there is no of his age in the State
who has rendered the party more service than he
has. James H. Foy and Henry H. Sandlin, Esqs.,
are candidates for the House of Commons. Both
of these gentlemen made speeches, and acquitted
themselves in highly creditable manner W: D.
Humphrey, Esq, the present Sheriff. is candidate
for reelection, and is opposed by his competitor two
years ago, Franklin Thompson, ESQ.,
The prospect is lively time in Onslow.
