On Tuesday last the Democracy of Rowan met at the Court House in Salisbury, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the State and District Conventions and for other purposes.

On motion of Col. B. Moore, the meeting was organized by the appointment of David Barringer, as Chairman, and John Spelman and W. L. Kestler as Secretaries.

On motion. Col. B. R. Moore, Col.

H. L. Robards and W. L. Saunders, were appointed a committee to report business for the meeting.

During the absence of the committee, N. N. Fleming, being loudly called, for, ad dressed the meeting. He considered it the duty of every citizen of a free government to meet for consultation with his fellow-citizens on matters pertaining to the general welfare, and spoke of the priceless privilege we enjoy as a nation in being able so to assemble. The spectacle of the people meeting for self-government was rare throughout the world.

A government in which every man an individual interest was the only free government he could conceive. Mr. Fleming believed in a plurality of parties as essential to free government acting as they did as checks or restraints on the excesses of each other. Corruption was guarded against by the opposition which a plurality of gave birth to. Mr.

F. continued on this ruhjecr. The Democracy of Rowan had assembled that day to re-affirm their devotion to the great cardinal principles of Democracy, dating back to the foundation of our government, and to renew their sentiments on the great national questions of policy which divide the people. Mr. F.

then took a glance at the history of parties in this country. Alluding to the Whig party, he said it died the death of decay. Upon its ruins rose the modern, short-lived Know Nothing which was quickly and indignant' repudiated by the people and kicked into its original detestable elements. But the Democratic party was now what it always had been unchanged, unchangeable the same today that it was generations ago the same in New England as in the Far West, in the extreme South and the coldest North. Through every vicissitude opposed by party or by faction openly attacked or covertly assailed; in triumph, in disaster the glorious old flag of Democracy has never yet been struck not a blot nor a blur defaces it it shines as brightly, has the same inspiring influence upon the hearts of the people to-day, as when first given to the breeze by the great fathers of our political cieed.

Mr. F. then inquired into the nature of the parties of the present hour. As had been stated, the old Democratic flag "was still there." Endeavoring to tear it down was the Opposition party of the South, whose sole reason for its efforts was comprised in the term opposition. Not a single principle but "opposition" had the- to rely on.

Then the black Republicans were opposed to Democracy. They dated back but a few years, having sprung into existence upon the sudden exit of the Know Nothings over the ruins of the defunct old Whigs. The strength of the black Republican party, the aim of that organization, and the disastrous consequences of its success or long continued existence, next claimed the speaker's attention. After portraying these in vivid colors, Mr. F.

called upon the conservative elements everywhere to come together in their might to lay that monster and save the Union. He spoke of the rights of the States in the Union, and pointed out the designs of the Ilack Republicans to exterminate slavery, not only in disregard and defiance of all Constitutional rights and guaranties, but at every hazard to the peace and life of the South. The South was an equal when she entered the Union, and an equal she shall remain if she stay in the Union. To enable the South to occupy a position in the Union to which she is entitled, all Southern men should come together and stand together. And where was the rallying point The Democratic party was that point, as all candid, honest-minded men must know.

Tt was the only Resolved, That whilst we feel proud of the administration of Gov. Ellis characterized as it has been by ability, justice, impartiality and deep devotion to" the interests and honor of the State in degree to command the admiration and applause of even his political adversaries we fed it incumbent on us, as his more immediate neighbors and coun-tymen to acknowledge with gratitude the unanimity with which his re-nomination is called for, and the esteem which has been shown for him throughout the whole State. Resolved, That in the late treasonable outbreak at Harper's Ferry we recognize the legitimate fruits of the "irrepressible conflict" arid law" doctrine proclaimed by the leader of the black republican party; that we regard the enunciation of such doctrines, and their endorsement, as a declaration of war upon the rights of the South, and that we will resist the enforcement of such doctrines in the Union, if we can out of the Union, if we must. Resolved, That in resistance to such murderous, treasonable attempts as-that of' Harper's Ferrj, the cause of one Southern State becomes the cause of the whole South. Resolved, That we are opposed to all tariff taxes not necessary for the actual wants of the public treasury, but most especially are we opposed to protective tariffs their tendency being to enrien manufacturing monopolists at the expense of the great agricultural interests of the country, and that we arc in favor of an economical administration of the federal government, regarding extravagance and corruption as inseparable.

Resolved, That in the Hon. Burton Craige, our immediate representative in Congress, we have a man bold, conscientious, devoted to the rights of his State, unswervingly attached to principle a man in whose hands the interests of our State are safe, and whose efforts to preserve intact, the rights of the States under the constitution, have entitled him to the gratitude and confidence of his constituents. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting appoint sixty-five delegates to represent this county in the State convention to be held in Raleigh on the 8th of March next. Resolved, That we approve of the recommendation to hold a District convention at Charlotte, on the 20th of March, for the purpose of appointing delegates from this congressional district to the national Democratic convention to be held in Charleston, in April next, and for other purposes, and that the chairman of this meeting appoint forty delegates to attend said district convention. Resolved, That a meeting of the Democracy of Rowan be held on Tuesday of our next May Court, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Senator in the next General Assembly, and that the Democrats of Davie county be requested to send delegates to meet us at said time.

A discussion as to the proper time to hold the district convention followed, in which several members of the party participated. Ukimately the 20th of March was recommended as given in the foregoing resolutions. On motion of Mr. Fleming the chair was authorized to appoint an executive committee of seven, with power to appoint sub-comnntttees for the purpose of seem ing thorough organization and concert of action in the approaching campaign. The report of the committee, which included the motion of Mr.

Fleming, was unanimously adopted. W. L. Saunders, seconded by Mr. Fleming, then offered the following preamble and resolutiou, which were also unanimously adopted: Wheheas, The Salisbury Banner, having been established upon a firm basis, and being a true exponent of Democratic principles, and being conducted in a manner creditable alike to the editor and to the party, is entitled.

to the cordial support of the Democracy of Rowan be it therefore Resolved, That we hereb)- recommend it to our brother democrats as a paper worthy of their patronage, and that we will use our best efforts to increase its population. Mr. Saunders accompanied the foregoing with some judicious remarks upon the necessity of supporting the press, particularly at such a time as this. In the couse of his remarks he paid us (the editor) many compliments, for which, he will accept our thanks. But his remarks in relation to the manner in which the Banner should be sustained will apply to the party press everywhere.

He showed that the tone of the press attached to its party, whether for good of for evil. The editor of the Banner was then called for and briefly responded. On motion of Mr. Saunders, the chairman and secretaries were added to both lists of delegates. And on a further motion the proceedings of this meeting were ordered to be published in the Salisbury Banner, and that otlmr democratic papers be requested to copy.

J. A. Bradshaw, was now called for. He spoke briefly and to the point took a view of the issues of the day. He considered the present a most critical period for the South, and was glad to see the enthusiasm of the democracy of Rowan.

He was glad to see a return to the old enamels of democracy. He had full confidence in the Democracy of the country the national democracy. He concurred with Mr. Fleming in saying that the South was powerless in a contest with black republicans, without the co-operation of the Northern democracy. And it was clearly the duty of conservative men to join the democracy to beat down this revolutionary party.

Mr. B. said ho bad been unexpectedly called upon, but he could not forbear saving a few words of encouragement. His remarks were well received. The meeting then adjourned.

And whereas, the 8th of March has been appointed the time, and Raleigh the place for the meeting of the State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor. Resolved, That the Democracy of Granville, desiring to be represented in said Conventions, hereby authorize the Chairman of this meeting to appoint one hundred delegates to represent them in the State and District Conventions. Resolved, That John W. Ellis, our present Governor, has our approbation and esteem, and we cordially recommend his renomination for the high office he now so ably fills. Resolved, That in the patriotism, integrity and statesmanship of James Buchanan, we have undiminished confidence, and hereby tender him our sincere gratitude for his noble efforts to maintain sound principles and the laws of our country.

Resolved, That the recent startling events warn us of the dangers to the South, the Constitution and the Union, from the unprincipled fanatics and dishonest demagogues at the North, 'and therefore it becomes all good citizens to be prepared for any emergency, and particularly to strive to perpetuate the Union of these States by preserving the Constitution inviolate. Resolved, That the Democratic party being in our judgment the only national organization, which, by its pure and conservative principles, gives a guarantee that by it the Constitution and the Union may be preserved, the rights of the South, and all the States sustained and defended, we frankly invite all the citizens of the South to aid us in accomplishing the success of this our part- whose principles time has tested, and to which experience has affixed its approbation.

Every one knew that. He callelupon the meeting to witness the late contest for the Speakership in Congress, in which insult to the South was sought to be added to wrong, by forcing upon us for the office of Speaker a man who endorsed a movement of robbery, treason and blood against our property, our peace and our families.

Against that insult and wrong the Democracy of the South rose up to a man, and beside them was to be seen the glorious Democracy of the North. No distinction couh; be discovered between the Democracy of Texas and Maine, of Ohio and Virginia. Democracy stood there, no matter where the )uen were from. They occupied the one common platform. Mr.

Fl ming continued on this subject for some time. We have not space to do more than touch upon the leading points of his excellent speech. Mr. F. deprecated a separation of the Union if it could honorably Ik avoided but he had no sort of respect for those of the South who preached submission on any terms.

With a national President it was hard enough for the South to maintain her position, her rights or her honor with a bhick Republican President, with the army, the navy, thi treasury and the patronage of the government, it would be impossible for her to exist in the Union, lie had no fear if the South should she be forced into a conflict She had a million of men at any hour to spring to arms, and a million of such men could make a stand against the world. An open, outside enemy could be guarded against. But the election of a black Republican President, submitted to by the South, wuld inevitaMy create a Republican party in the South. Let that once be done, and where then will be the institution of slavery He called again upon the people of the South to be united, for when they become so they will be invincible. How could black Republicanism be defeated? By the South being divided? Mr.

F. took a glance at past history in party contests. He continued. If the entire South voted as one man they could not defeat, black Republicanism. We must have some assistance from our friends at the North.

Where ere our friends to be found The Whig party was scattered; we can't get aid from the K. N's, for they were without organization except in a few States. The South must look to the Democracy of the North, which is numbered in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and every other northern State, by hundreds of thousands. That is the material we must rely on. It was that which carried the last Presidential election when the South voted almost as a The South must encourage these brave men by showing an undivided front.

They have given ample evidence of their determination to stand by the South in her just demand. And here Mr. F. contrasted the conduct of these Northern Democrats with that of the Plug Ugly Davis, of Baltimore; a traitor who owes his scat to neither character nor brains, but to mere force of arms. This member of the Southern Opposition refused to vote for another member of the Southern Opposition (Mr.

Smith, of N. because he had never descended to the culvert, and completed his infamy by assisting to elect the black Republican Speaker. And all this time 61 i 84 I 40 31 i 16 I 40 i 50 the Northern Democracy stood by the South. We have no space to follow Mr. F.

further. He Concluded by urging upon the South a unity of action in order to defeat black Republicanism heore it gained access to the South by the appliances of patronage which the first election of a black Republican President would place at the disposal of our deadliest political foes. This view Mr. F. urged with force.

Once let the South be triumphed over by this party, and the power of office and patronage of all kinds, which will be brought to bear within the South upon their ends and aims, will at once erect a slavery exterminating power in the midst of slavery itself. Mr. Fleming's remarks were loudly applauded. Col. Moore now presented the following resolutions, as the report of the Committee on business, which were admirably read by W.

L. Saunders, Esq. Whereas, It is highly necessary and proper for the people of a free country frequently to assemble for the purpose of interchanging views on the political issues of the day, and for consultation and agreement on matters affecting the public good and public safety therefore, be it Resolved, By the Democracy of Rowan county, that wc have undiminished confidence in the great cardinal, national principles of the Democratic party, as they have been handed down to us from the time of Jefferson and Madison, believing that upon the continued ascendancy of those principles depends not only the prosperity of our country but also the liberties of man. Resolved, That President Buchanan, by his uniform fidelity to the rights of the States, by his firm and judicious foreign policy, and especially by the national and conservative tone of his administration, has vindicated himself from the slanders of a factious opposition, and has entitled himself to the gratitude and confidence of every patriot 20 91 51 62 No. 8.
