WtLL THEIR ACTS PROVE THEIR WORDS f Mb. Editor: Reading in jour paper a' few days since a notice about the abolition sentiment prevail ing in the Northern Magazines and Literary papers, I fell into conversation with a very intelligent gen tleman, whom I found thoroughly read upon all the absorbing topics of the day. He expressed himself as a strong Union jnan, so long as the Union was one of equality ; but the South not receiving her rights, he was for the South. And as one of the rights due to the South, he argued that we should banish from our firesides these Northern anti-slavery publications, magazines and newspapers, and build up publications at the South. This senti ment was expressed with much animation and earn estness. I have been for some time past an observer of the movements of the Southern people upon this sub ject, and while it is almost a universal practice to denounce tnese anti-siavery publications, ana io cry loudly for encouragement to Southern enterprise, yet I find but few, very few, who execute the deci sions of their own judgments. So in conversation with this gentleman, after he had expressed such a strong desire that the South should build up publications at home instead of pa tronizing the Harpers and such publishers at the North, I thought I would test the matter, and I re marked to him that we had publications in the South equal to those published in the North. He asked, with some little surprise, what were they and where published ? I referred him to Russell's Mag azine and the Southern Literary Messenger among the monthlies, and to the Greensborough Timet among the weeklies. His reply suggested the heading of this article" Will their acts prove their words ?' Alas ! a gentleman well read upon all the exciting interests of the country, a gentleman of position, a gentleman thoroughly Southern in his every feeling, and yet, instead of proving his words by his acts, instead of aiding to accomplish what he so much desired accomplished, he did not even know we had in our midst Southern publications deserving of Southern patronage. And, Mr. Editor, this gentleman is a representative man. There are thousands of such to be found, and I dare not deny their sincerity when they cry out against Northern monthlies and weeklies, and wish that the South could establish worthy organs at home. The sentiment prevails in the public mind South, that it is impossible to com pete with the North in such publications, and hence our people never enquire for them ; and it is almost a riddle to me, how, under these circumstances, our publications at the South do exist and show such decided excellence. In my judgment, Russell's Mag azine, among the monthlies, is much more ably ed ited that Harper's ; and among the weeklies, I look upon the Greensboro' Times as equal to any of the literary and famliy papers in any of the Northern cities. I have been especially pleased with the re cent new dress and other signs of great improve ment in the Times ; and as it is a Southern paper, having its locals in North-Carolina, I hope you will excuse me, a North-Carolinian, for making special reference to it I was glad, when I read in your paper, a few days since, such a flattering notice of the Times, with an appeal to North-Carolina to sus tain it I have been a regular reader of the Times, and I heartily endorse your notice; the Times is an honor to the South, and especially to North-Carolina ; and I feel assured the citizens of the good Old North State have too much pride about them not to patronize and sustain such a paper. It should be read in every family circle and encouraged as a worthy State enterprise. Here your readers, Mr. Editor, have an opportunity to prove the sincerity of their words by their acts. Let them do it by forwarding $2 to Messrs. Cole & Albright, Greens boro', N. C, for the Times for 1860. A NORTH-CAROLINIAN. DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN MECKLENBURG. In accordance with a time-honored custom, the Democratic party of Mecklenburg met in public meeting at the Court House in Charlotte on Mon day the 23d ult. On motion of Capt Jno. Walker, Maj. J. M. Potts was called to the chair, and on motion of Wm. R. Myers, Sam'l P. Smith was appointed secretary. The chairman, after taking his seat, called upon Captain Walker to explain the object of the meet ing, which he did in a forcible and pertinent man ner. On motion, the chairman was requested to ap point a committee to prepare business for the con sideration of the meeting. The following were ap pointed, viz : R. H. Johnston, R. L DeArmond, Wm. J. Yates, W. C. Morris, Stephen Wilson, John W. Morrow, Zenas A. Grier, and W. M. Matthews. In the absence of the committee, James W. Os borne and Wm. K. Myers, Esqs., being called upon, entertained the meeting with some appropriate and eloquent remarks. The committee then reported the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, It is proposed to hold a Democratic State convention in the city of Raleigh on the 8th of March next ; and whereas we believe that only by conventions can the will of a majority of a party be correctly ascertained and unity of action secured, therefore, Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting ap point delegates to represent the Democratic party of Mecklenburg in said convention. Resolved, That our present Executive, John W. Ellis, is entitled to the undivided confidence of the Democratic party and of every citizen of the State, and, while cordially approving his administration, we declare in favor of bis re-nomination as the De mocratic candidate for Governor. Resolved, That the chairman also appoint dele gates to attend a District convention to be held on Tuesday the 6th day of March, for the purpose of selecting two delegates, and their alternates, to rep resent this congressional district in the national convention to be held in Charleston on the 23d of April next Resolved, That we, a portion of the national De mocratic party, remain firmly attached to those time-honored principles of our political creed which have ever characterized our party, in victory or de- teat, as the great conservative element in the Repub lic and the palladium of equal privileges and "consti tutional rights. Resolved, That our present federal Executive, James Buchanan, deserves the confidence and re spect of the people for his patriotism and devotion to the interests of the whole country, and especially for the readiness which he has shown to protect the institutions and rights of all the States. Resolved, That the Democratic party being the only organized national party in existence under whose banner the patriot can rally with any pros pect of success against sectionalism and treason in the next Presidential campaign, we believe that all attempts to weaken or defeat it are calculated to weaken and defeat the cause of the South and en danger her rights in the Union. Resolved, That we deprecate the growing strength of sectionalism and fanaticism in the Northern States, and that we are admonished, by recent events, of the necessity of an unyielding devotion to consti tutional rights and of a thorough union of the friends of law and order everywhere ; and to effect this end we solicit the co-operation of the friends of a constitutional Union in again elevating to the presi dential chair a national Democrat Resolved, That the Democrats of Mecklenburg county be requested to send delegates from each Captain's district in the county to a county conven tion to be held in Charlotte on Tuesday of April Court, for the purpose of selecting candidates to represent the county in the next General Assembly of North-Carolina. The above resolutions were unanimously adopted. The following resolution was offered by J. M. Hutchison, Esq., and adopted : Resolved, That while we cherish the Union of our fathers, and are ready to co-operate with conserva tive men everywhere for its constitutional guaran ties, yet whenever it shall be made an instrument of oppression, we will maintain our rights at everv hazard.

Resolved, That we are opposed to a Protective Tariff, a United States Bank and to all systems of Internal Improvement by the Federal Government. Resolved, That while the revenue to support the federal government shall continue to be collected from foreign importations, we are in favor of ad valorem in opposition to specific duties that the one operates equally and uniformly upon the consu mer, the other primarily protects the northern manufacturer at the expense of the consumer, and to the oppression of the Southern producer. Resolved, That we cherish a most sacred and obe dient regard for the Constitution of the United States in all its provisions and details that we view it as a monument of human wisdom and patriotism, and we declare our bitter hostility to all aggressions made upon it by the people of the Northern States, and we reiterate our most decided opposition to all further concessions and compromises by the South. Resolved, That while the vile murderers and con spirators engaged in the Harper's Ferry tragedj have met their merited doom, we look with equal detestation and abhorrence on the Black Republican party of the North, who sedulously teach the same incendiary, treasonable and murderous doctrines in the school-room, the pulpit, the press, and in their political harangues. Resolved, That those noble patriots of the North, in and out of Congress, who are contending for the institutions and rights of the South against the hosts of fanaticism and the myrmidons of black re publicanism, deserve our most profound respect, and that on this occasion we deem it proper to ex press our admiration for the sterling merits and dis tinguished services of that devoted patriot and states man of New Hampshire, Franklin Pierce, and if our voices could reach him in his retirement, with one accord we would utter the merited plaudit: " Well done, thou good and faithful servant" Resolved, That the enactment of laws by the peo ple of the Northern States, forbidding and obstruct ing the execution of the fugitive slave law within their limits, evinces a most reckless and defiant dis regard for the Constitution of the United States, and justifies and demands of the Southern people a resort to every means of self protection and self preservation. Resolved, That the territories are the common property of all the States, and that each citizen of every State has the constitutional right to go into the territories with every species of property, and that during the territorial condition he is entitled to the fullest protection by the federal government in the enjoyment of hi3 property. Resolved, That the taxes of North-Carolina are be coming oppressive, and that the wild system of in ternal improvement by the State ought to be ar rested. Resolved, That the present revenue system 'of the State is unjust and unequal, and imperatively de mands a change. Resolved, That the odious statute now in existence in this State, making it an indictable offence and subject to severe penalties, for any person or persons to construct a railroad on their own land and at their own expense without charter privileges, ought to be abolished. Resolved, That we believe it is the duty of the Legislature of North-Carolina to grant charter privi leges to any and to all citizens of the State who wish to construct railroads at their individual ex pense. Resolved, That the Chairman of this meetine ap point ten Delegates to attend the Convention at Raleigh in March to nominate a candidate for Gov ernor, and that he appoint thirty Delegates to attend the District Convention to appoint delegates to the inarieston .national Democratic Convention.
