As may be seen by reference to our col- timns, the Delegates to tbe Democratic Con vention assembled together in 'Newbern, on Tiui s(!ay last. 1 Considering the short notice itlws ra matter of some surprise to see so iiany gentlemen here on that occasion from different parts of the District. In fact it was the largest Convention that lias for manv years, met in this place ; and it Indicates l fiat the Democrats of the second District ate fully sensible of their cause, "and are de termined to quash with quash witri one lIow the new j ahd startling ordr. The greatest harmony and good feeling prevailed throughout. Xv- i e?y delegate seertted to have come fer the purpose of nominating oflie man, whom they nprniifated byj rcclamatidn. Contrary to all former proceedings the Committee, without reporting to th3 preliminary meeting thtir se- liction, came in; and proclaimed ;n open Con. ' ybnlio i itlieif choice. - Col.

Com mitteo on Resolutions reported as follows : Whereas the time has again arrived for the democracy of North Carolina to review aud reaffirm those eternal first principles tha have existed since the creation of man, but which were ueveY thoroughly known,nor ful ly appreciated till inscribed on Washington banner and. afterwards eno-raved on the heart of Americans bytbo pen of JelferSon,- bis com peers and successors, and whereas we, a por tion of that democracy, have been delegated by our brethren of the second Congression al District to re-affirm those principles and to nominate a candida'.e to represent the District in tbe next House of Kepresenta- tives of the United States : therelore Resolved, That the administration of Franklin Pierce, by its consistent adherence to principles, its Arm resistance to all attemp ted spoliations on the public Treasury, and its patriotic devotion to the Constitution of the country, demands and receives oin hear ty approval. Resolved, That in our opinion, tbe old land marks of tbe true democracy, laid down in tbe Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1 798-'99, should be strictly adhered to at this time by the democratic party, and that no secret combination, should prevent a free and open avowal of our principles, and an independent course of policy and conduct, on our part,, in maintaining them. Resolved, That free thought, free speech and free action arc pre eminent characteris tics offree men . and free governments, and that secret oathbonnd societies j for politi cal purposes, amongst a, fiee and, indepen dent people, . evince the greatest distrust for the capacity of the people for plroper self government, or a consciousness of guilt whicb fears the public eye, and ought not therefore to be countenanced by independent free men. . ...... : . : ' ; , . Rssolved, That Americans do now rule America, and that as Americans and descen dants of the sires of '76, wq : recognise the princif le.that all men by,- ua tu re are free a nd equal, in the sense as used, by them in - the Dvic'aration of Independence, as "one of the fundamental principles on which, our govern ment' is based and to make f any distinction' between men-on account of the place of their birth or tbeir .religions denomination " other' than that already made by the Constitution and . la ws of the United States, is an ti, Amer ican," antichristian and antiRepublican. r. Uctioai h ! $trife ad -rel Resolved, That m view of tne fanaticism, hsrious per secution and prejudice that the bid opponents of democracy are working for the purpose of galvanizing into a ; temporary existence, a once national and gallant, but now fallen and disorganized party, the " country, more than ever needs and.calls for the . eflorts and liearty cooperation I., of evi rv true . friend . ot democratic priuciples,to rally to the support of I of J effer son, J ackson and others,' which by ita national organiza tion, its devotion to principles, and its adber Vence to tlie 1 doctrines and preCeptis f the illustrious statesmen who fornied our- consti tution, has proTed jtself Icapable and sufficient, jaimanaging ai'd guiiding j the fv? Republic, through, all of the mntland errors that have assailed it, from the first Hartford Conven tion; down to the last Galphlnism attempted on its treasury " : -.--f - . .11 Rksoltid, That tlie j course of our Iaie, able aud faithful representative, Hon Thos. Ruffin, meets our hearty and cordial appro bation and that the only objection which the enemies and opponents of Democracy urge against" hitrii is based uponhi firm adherence to the doctrine of equall rights a moug equals a one of the cardinal principles of-unadulr te rated democracy. Resolved, That the new party that has lately made its adventj and assumed shape and existence in the Union, and which is now seeking to spread U influence in the Southern States, but which received its death blow by the sterling democracy of Virginia on the 24th of Jay, had its origm in tbo North ern States, among free pollers and "abolition ists, and is a system pf delusion and-deception, antagonistic to the principles of the constitution, destructive to civil andrelisrious liberty, at war with the. teachings of -the fa thers of the revolution and expressly gotten up by desperate and unprincipled politicians, as an engiue for the overthrow of the Demo cratic paityr j Resolved, That it isj our judgement, that the actionof the Know Nothing Convention of New Hainpshire,and,oC j.heKnow-sTothii:g Le gislature of Massachusetts and other northern States, in protesting against the repeal of the Missouri compromise,! he KaLsas-Neb: as--ka bill, the fugitive slave law, and pledging themselves to oppoe the admission of any more Slave SUU-s into this Union proves them to te the true enemies of the South and we deeply regret that a single Southern man should be found, so.blind to his interest and duty, as to give open or secret aid and com fort to such an insidious foe. Resolved, That the democracy of the free States h?ve our sincere thanks for the open, noble and manly stand they have taken in defence of the cons titutional rights of the South. Dulusion and (deception have placed th cm iu a tenaporary minoiity, but wo fe a confidence that the!sober second thought the people will, in due time, restore them to the political supremacy, ot whica they have been unjustly deprived. Resolved, That Virginia has done her whole duty to the couhtiy and the Constitu--tion by conquering mi enemy that had sup posed himself invincible, and, that, animated by the same spirit, we will follow the bright example of oar Virginia brethren, and, with a becoming spirit of philanthropy earnestly endeavor to welcome poor 'Sam' to a hospita ble grave in North Carolina, on tha first Thursday of next August. : All of which was Unanimously adopted. The Committee oiri nominations declined to' make any special report and recom mended the Hon. Thos. Ruffin be nominated by acclamation, which was passed unani mously. , , j . s Mr. Averitt of Onslow moved that the following resolution be adopted by the Converjiibh which vises passed ttnanimously, VIZ Resolyhd," That the Goldsboro Tribune $zr the other democratic papersjn this district, from their efficient support to the democratic cause, havo entitled themselves to the full patronage of the democratic party of this district.

It is high time, for like a beggar on horseback, the late politicaljockies in the saddle of State, have been riding tbe old Bay State fast to' the devil. A great meeting at Faneuil Hall w.a5 held on the 21-st inst., on the subject ol tbe prohibatory liquor law. A long series of pointed resolutions was passed, from which we select the following as a sample: -i ! Rctf ra ;Thatyf the legislature of 185 5 stands without a parallel 'in JU rsbame,It s incqnsistencies .-1 areilglaririg; ; its hypocricy, manifest, its immoralities gross, while folly: and stupidity seemed! to be the presiding ge piu!sof many of its , acts and enactmenLso that wliflethe intention U manifest, there is no moral- power in their law to injure the char acter of those at whom the blow is aimed. ,f wo of the jurors wjio acquitted Matt.Ward of the murder of Butler at Louisv ille, feeling rather too severe Ijr the weight of the public scorn visited upon them in cousequenco. of the denunciations of lithe press, have com menced suit against the Louisville Democrat for th injury done' to their characters,!

In the battle and n the breeze, in storm and in sunshine, through good aud through evil report, wa ver and cower who might, the flag of prin ci pi e--tbe principles oil uhich the founda tion stones of the Union were laid by her Republican fathers-the principles of State Rights Democratic equality, and civil and religlbui libertylias .flown out over her valley? and her mountains, and been sustain ed with a devotion and constancy that cov ers Uer .people wit.h honor, and stamps the old Dominion -as jtl e Gibraltar of American Republicanism, lit was much to have resis ted the hurra and delusion of Hard cider and Log I Cabins; but it is a greater glory to have beeh the fiist to check thuLnew-boin fury of a sentiment of American nationality, run mad, apd perverted froni its original and noble pur posej of ; promoting the lights of man to the igncjbW and selfish end of curtailing its ben efitsto1 the use of men of A in erica n birth. Wer ejoic at tbe result in Virginia, not for ourselves alone but tor the sake of the hon or of the American name. We rei .-ice for the Sake of the so ,calIedAmeric4ns,ihemselves whoj have been saved by the noble firmness of Vrjinia from the dire consequences Of their own! grange infatuation. Virginia has pro nounced the emphatic tones of an old fash ione'd ten thousand majority, that 4Americrt hal be ru!ed"by American principles,and not by the spirit of political prose' iption, and re ligious intolerance and bigotry. If is not for this that the high English bloOMtl panting tor fieedom, and chafing un der : fth'e restraints of the then British egime waslimported by the Virginia Cavaliers. Not for this was: Jamestown settled, forests cleajred'and tiDed, by their hands, and York towh watered with their blood. They came from the old to -the new world te plant lib ert -their descendants, true to their liniagfe andreooYn have determined by their manly vivA voce to water and cherish, and not cut doVn that noble tree in whoso shadow they have grown and prospered. Never was de terriination so timely made, "and so gmnd and important in moral significance. With one! blow, it has biokcn the f-ceptre of invin cibflity which immagination had placed in Saifi 4 hand. It has set an examph before bei;! sister southern States to wrrn 'them of their danger, and teach. them of their duties. Tli4 lesson will not be thrown away. We ecu) mend it heartily to our former Democrat, ij ffiends who have been : thoughtlessly begu ilco! into bartering tbeh ; birth-right princi ple! wr" a Poor mess of Know Nothing pot taffB. To go in; was an error of the head to staV in with the noble example of Virginia bemre them will be an error of the heart. Come out from among them and back to the principles of your first love to the arms and hearts of true Republicaps! Mobile Register. ii DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN ONSLOW. f - ; .
