DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN
WAKE.
It will be seett, from their proceedings
in another column, that the democracy ot
Wake are in motion. We do net remem
ber to have seen, at any time, a rore Spiri
ted meeting than that held in this city on
the 2Sth instant. h was made up fur th
most part, of the hope and sinew of the
country, and was full of virtue intelligence,
and sturdy independence. Whilst the
Committee were out, consulting upon their
Resolutions, the Hon. W. H. Haywood
was called upon for a speech. On account of
physical indisposition he declined making
a regular speech, but consented to address
his fellow citizens in a plain, conversation
al manner. Tins he did with great elo
quence and effect. Every person present
seemed highly pleased with his remarks, as
they must have been convinced of the
truih of the facts and arguments he advan
ced. The meeting it will be perceived, expres
sed no preference for the Presidency.
This is the true course. Let Us give up
every thing for the cause, whilst we yield
nothing for men. Every democrat, it is to
be presumed, has his choice, but it is not ex
pedient, nor is it necessiry, 'hat everv de
mocrat sould say upon whom that choice is
fixed. Until the National Convention j
shall have spoken for the country, let us!
all talk more about principles, and less
about men. Let us uphold and explain1
our principles; and let us defend ail the
democratic candidates against the attacks
of all. And when we shall know upon
whom we are to centre, then let every man
fly to his post, and fight until the battle is!
over and the victory secured. And woe'
be to that man, be he the friend of Van
l3uren, Calhoun, Johnson, Cass, or Buchan
an, who seeks now, or who shali seek here
after, to introduce a spirit of discord and
disaffection into the democratic rank-!
The resolutions adopted by the meeting
breathe a spirit of energy and organization;
and they call upon the different counties
of the State for actual action prompt, reg
ular and undivided action. And the de
mocracy of North Carolina were never yet
called upon in vain. They will arouse
and organize; and in the great Contest
which is approaching, the nominee cf tthe
Wh iggery will be completely and effectual
ly beaten.

to address the meeting He apologized.
n account of his bodily indispostion,
(which was apparent to all) for not mak
lnS '"a speech," but consented to give the
meeting a "colloquial chat;" which, for
about half an hour he did, in that style and
temper which are so peculiarly his own
and which every man present will doubt
'ess remember as long as he remember
any thing of the course of the Whig parU
from 1840 to 1843.
