The Meeting in Pulaski.
Our hasty notice of the county Convention held
on the Hth mst., and published in our last num
ber, would see m to have aroused sum-' ecilemen!
am! produced sene reSestioa among gentlemen
who ilia 'lain “ hail way than icracv.” We wil
lingly acknowledge that there were few present t >
wham the phruxe would bare been applicable, but
that there was an eff>rt made t > refuse to the peo
ple the right of expressing a preference for a Can
dida e far Outgrew, by speeches, and otherwise,
we do ik presume even the hrinest friends of the
Gaxette and Democrat, and Gen. Ciarke, will de
ny. With the exception of perhaps an isolated in
s anr-e, every c ounty in the State has made publi'
its choi v ■ . her by name or by selecting as dale
g* -« or pro ie*. men whose pmleleetions were as
w . k * cn and us much to he relied *m as any
crjt-w’M appear* 4 at the me "mg of this county.
If then the will of the democ racy was fuliyani
fairly made known, and those even wlio offer?I
suv expression acknowledged that Johnson was
beyond question the choice,) we look upon am
trratl'tm, Bauch an oueas.on as auu-deui.r'rut.c.
not because Joi ns- n, Byrd, Clarke, or any other
man night have been more pop itar, but, bccaus
it was the will of a primary assemblage cai.ed 10
that purp »e.
In connection with this subject we have a wor
in reply to Mr. 15. C. Wi'Vu, who, at very cun
s.derable length, in t he Gazette and Democrat, He
fends himself ay»mst what he supposes to l av-,
been a charge that he was a “half-wav democrat,’’
and opposed to Col. Johns-on. Vow, we have
never been disposed to doabt Mr. Watkin’s de
moefa-'v, or his adherence to the party, whatever
his preference for ro*n might toe. It nev. r was,
and never could 1. mud a list with us, that be
cause a deraoctii prefer* i Mr. Borland to Co!.
Sevier, or Gen. Clarke* to any body else, that he
was any the less a democrat, n r hal we the
slightest allusion to Mr. Watkin’s m the attic!*.*
which called forth his address in Mr. Woodruff's
paper. The particular course of .my individ ia\
is not to ua or to the* community, a matter of
import as the grav-’y of his address would unply.
•Hi. n os ix iimi
difference fruai the course ordinarily pursued at
such meetings; but simply sustained Mr. Carroll,
who advocated the ►’to tnd of ivm instruction, an 1
hence, our surprise that lie shoal! have taken to
himself the character of a perMoage whose politi
cal reputation required a defence.
We remember, how., vtt, that not many m mth;
have elapse! since the press to which Mr. WatkiiM
clung with deep interest, declared that it was not
identified with cither of the great parties which
agitated the country, ia the canvass between Cass
and Taylor, and that it would rather herald tlie
ending of lead ore, than “ nail a whig lie to the
counter." That press was the Democrat anil Mr.
Woodruff was its editor. And whatever pol.tu.al
turmoil may have sgiiaied the country or the state
Mr. Watkins has ucv. r severed hnrutlf from the
association witli it.
We have before mod, that it w as not our inten
tion to place Mr. W alkies in this position, hut
since his address has called up such r. ininiscences,
we feel justified, while noticing l.ta cutnpiauit* of
the Banner, to cive him the benefit of th. m.
We turn with pleasure from a r>ply to Mr Wat
kins to the ncrtlciit exposition of Democratic prin
eipies, by Judge Ck-ndenm. In the true spun of
democracy, and despite the arguments which were
b>(.,j tn swerve hun from the course which he bad
Mrso.ved upon, ite ««*U-uded manfully for the right ;
of express! n by the pet*d* of the county and the
resoiutK.HS of Gen. Beiopsuad, and succeeded.

hush,” ei adaae which, in very early days, arose j

IT*In another column, wil! be found the pro
ceedings of the Democratic Meeting in Phillip*
county. The fourth r-*aoiu*ion expresses. in few
word*. the doctrine upon theSouihern question,
which we have SO earnestly and repeatedly atlro
tated. It read* thua:
"That we view the rneasiire* of the late Con
peas, known as the Compromise measure*. as un
wise aggression, and unjust towards the South; and
while we do not believe a difsolutionof the Union
would remedy the evii, undo which the South
labors —ret, as freemen, it is our duty to demand,
nf our Northern brethren, an equality of political
rights.”
Th«South, after the font play she has received
from the North, has but little to rely upon, save
her own earnest and Continued efforts. Shorn of
a right that ahe has lour proudly maintained—
driven from an immense terribify, for which she
•pent h:r treasure, and p > irod o it her Wood, and
compelled to witness the xiolati n of a constitu
ii«n to which she Ua>si Ion: an 1 s > religio :sly
adhered as the rule of her conduct; she w.II, in
deed, exhibit a fatal infatuation if ji e longer ' e
aceches by prayers and petitions, m' rcy and for
bearance from the fanaticism of the North.
We ought pot, yet. to yield the smuggle. We
have but seen the beginning of a contest, which,
if wc do not enter with a determination to enforce
our rights, we may never live to see the end. They
have sought to deprive us of our rights; and if we
.silently and hurqbty submit, the nest step will he
to rob us of our property.
! We have Wen expelled from the State of Cali
fornia, we have been denied a h un■; in either New
I Mcaieooc Utah; we have been joggled »n! tri'ksd
out of a large portion of Texas. Tins much we
i have compromised away, or rath- : been for ed to
, give up; and what have we in return .’ N ithing
1 hut a Fugitive Slave Bill, which was already-* iar
: a ruled to us by tin constitution, uad'lfto ex- "U
tkm of which, has so far, in every case, been «
i mmt faihtrt.
The question is still open for agitation, still un
; der the control of au unprincipled and fauaucal
majority in Congress. We have no assurance that
I we will be protected in our property and peaceful
1 pursuits. Hence, it is that we have adv seated re
sistance—bold and determined resistance, until
we shall it ’ -i v ►o', “iwk'wty tor me past,” but
'‘SfCtfity/«* t-i
We arv re];-. ed to see the high stand taken t*y
our friends ;u Phillips. They have ever l»e> n
foremost in every food work, and ever had at
heart the* happ ness i:i 1 welfare of tie State.
Jj The writer of the following Utter has done
the State sju.e ser. e; and there are few men
whose word is entitled to more consideration:
llrw-sTK-io CoexTT, April 9, l»5l.
I>eva Si a 1 write 'o you merely that you are
deceived in r *gard to the feeling of the Southern
c.mn m on the uljcCi of the Congress. >nal elec
tion. They will t-c- represented in the proposed
| Convention, with scare- !y a single exception, and
| a unit for the nomination of Col. II. W. Johnson.
The Casurn counties care very little where their
representative in Congress, resides, provided h" be
a citiaen of the State, and possess the requisite
: qualifications. X ithvr din. Clarke, or other
: highly respectable gentlemen, whose names have
been in- ntioii- d. would, ;t is fear 1, unite the nor
• VIW}d« mocracy, as tb**v are corupa: i’.vely un
known and inexperienced m national legislation.
It is otherwise .n the case ofCoi. Johnson, who a
not only well known and experienced, but greatly
; beloved by numerous personal friends who would
sustain him with that kind of seal which coiitri
i butes always so much towards success. ThiJ
, county will send a delegation to be chosen on the
i 12th instant.
Your friend and servant.
