" [FROM TUB CNJtRLUTON COURIER.] GREAT MEETING OP THE DEMOCRACY OP CHARLESTON. One of the most numerous end respectable meetings of the Democracy of. Charleston wee convened Monday evening, the 19th iust. at the neuf theatre, that ever assembled in oor city, and was , graced by a brilliant collection of the fair daughtors of Carolina. The meeting was organised by caMietfHenry Bailey Esq. to tbq ChtiF and Wrtt. A? ' V Hay tie and INbw B? Ltwuw to act at Seeretaries. I The chairman having in a dignified and appropriate manner, Mated tneobject of the, meeting. Col. P? It. Elmore came ^rward, and after a few remarks in his usual felicitous style, moved the '"fe.ii. J ? - ' - * * inrowing resoiuuon; winch was adopted? Rnulred, That a committee of 80 be appointed by the chair to take into consideration the course which the presei^onditran of public affairs makes it advisable should be adopted by the Democratic party, of Cnarleston, both itt regard to National end State policy. - During the retirementof theHWmuuttec, Col. T. J. McCord, of St. MatthjmfeAp^pealied for by the meeting, responded wiffiCTnfla force of argument and aptness of illustfcjpmjii. *^t)n his concluding, the committee re-apjJWM. and the Hon. Henry Dcas not beitog present, Col. F. H. Elmore offered the following prq*jnble and resolotions, which were unanimously adopted. f REPORT. 'The present situation of publio affairs, as regards t>olh our National and State policy, affords aDundent cause for anxious solicitude, at>?l calls for the > oxemise, in regard to the firsts of the greatest calcaneus, consideration and prudence, and in the , latter, of the most fraternal conciliation and forbearance. In general, politics, however subdivided, the whole country is ranged into two great parties, democratic and whig; the former having, we believe, the largest portion of the United Status, and comprehending in its r&nks, not only a very great majority of the people of th." slave holding States, having interests and sympathies identical with us, but what is moro material to South Carolina, almost every man in them or in the other States whose principles coincide with hers, and whose wishes, opinions, and position ought therefore to be considered and respected by her. On thft other hand, the Whig^party ranges under its broad banner those who 'are inimical to all the principles and views of administrative policy, pn which hang, not our prosperity merely, but bur very safety and existence, comprehending in its Xk* ?|u> yrLr> M??arai>ulou?ly nders the earnings of our property and labor, "1 and the deadliest foes of our domestic peace, the abolitionists, who are plotting for foroign . interference to rob us of our property itself. Ihe struggle for the mastery between thefl?- two great parties rapidly' approaches to its first and most imnortatjt'arhitramont, the election of President. With their hearts warmly enlisted, and their hopes greatly ? raised, our friends in every State in the Union, are tasking every energy for a victory. With thcra, and with many in our own ranks in South Carolina, this is looked on us the greatest present issues 1 which will decide more questions of paramount importance thnn any other, perhaps, involving the destinies of tho country itself. While many of us j should so absorb all other questions in the public 1 mind, we can neither deny nor change the fact. It has taken too deep hold upon the thoughts and feelings of men to be overcome; we could not cdango it if we would, and it is, therefore the part of wisdom, to shape our own course so as to mako out of ovonts as they are, the most we can for our wuHi jw fiinJ? mw J u?f xxmhiy. Ho one vmi, in candor, deny the vast importance of this- election; for while there is no great probability that any section or subdivision of either of the great < parties will gain all its desires in the succoss of the candidate it supports, it is equally clear that it pan gain nothing and must lose every thing, by the success of its adversary. In our own particular case, if we do not gain all wo would desire, if the democratio party prevail, we most certainly must lose all if the wnigs triumph. While there is much more that may ensure from a victory by our party, the very least of its fruits must, beside the annexation of Texas, bo the defeat ofwhigery - and abolitionism und the consequent rescue of the Constitution, our country and ourselves from their baleful domination?enough in themselves to secure the salvation of the south?and to nerve a patriot Ijeart to the battle*and to reward us for its toils and its dangers. Itrsolvrd, That deliberate reflection has but served to confirm our former convictions, that in the groat struggle now pending between the De*' mocrutic and whig parties, i?-W out wly duty, but our wisest policy, to make common cause with our friends and the friends of our institutions against the dangerous, disorganizing and unconstitutional doctrines and designs of the Whigs and Abolitionists, and especially that we should redeem our faith in the Presidential canvass and election, bv fiviru? our cordial, vicorous and uni ted support to JAMES K. FOLK. and GEO. M. DALLAS. ResoJ.t*.d, Tlfat while we are fully sensible thai the partial and oppressive action of the General Government on the people, property and industrial pursuits of the South Is hot relaxed, but has been aggravated by the perfidious breach of the faith pledged in the compromise of 1833, and the passage of the odious tariff of 1842, we yet sco .in the present condition and prospects of public affairs, and in the position and wishes of our democratic friends in other States, reasons sufficiently strong to induce us to deprecate as a great calasla^'aw: tTrnMSSttuty' to^Sfiaagree to the cohrse proposed by a portion of them, no as to forbear, at present, to resort to the sovereign action of the State to Redress our grievances, because First, There are very many, amongst ourselves and <*ur friends ehewhM^wtolc opinions are worthy of at! respect from us,j who have not lost ?very hope of redres^ ^wH^^returning sense of justice in the democratic, party," should it succeed, in the coming election, especially while they see the coarinaed and decided extension of free trade principles in the .new agricultural States, which are rapidly growing into power and influence in the West and Northwest ? . . * * IT TJ?11. i Second, Dy the election 01 jtmei n. ? vin,uiu the defeat of Henry Clay, a substantial .victory will bo gained for tke Constitution?the Presidential power and influence will be in tke hands of a Southern man?a friend of free trade, and identified with tM and our institutions and an en^my of the protective policy and abolitionism?^nof we ought not, by any action of tke State to embarrass or lesson the chances of his election, in which as much must be lost, and by which we shall draw I on ourselves the blame of our friends in other! States?change their kind feelings into coldness, perhaps resentment and hostility, by unnecessarily weakening and embarrassing thorn, and thus increasing the numbers and spirit of our enemies, and adding to our difficulties in obtaining justice. Third. The Union of those States having interests, property and institutions identical with ou* own, or of a portion of thein against tbo TNrifT n-nd Abolition, and for tlio groat American measure, the Annexation of Texas, is of the highest importance and slioulJ be procured if possible, \?w i ^ o that they may present us with one course o( measqfle$ and. action j and that until an effort has been Umy mad*and failed lo obtaiq such constitutional consul??**w and ?0-operation as will produce-it is noi,advisable vbr S^pth-C a retina to reaoft to her OW? separate Nation. ?, ^ lb-solved, That it' relief from these sogrces fail, fed the present oppressions still remain' upon the peop.le of this StAte, they \yill be no longer under obligations to defer to the wishes or opinions of others, but be free to coupult together nml^ adopt thosb ulterior modes aria ttimSiaM of redress which their sense of duty to themselves and their posterity may dictate. Retolved, That with the perfect conviction that 111 union is strength and that by pursuing this course we may keep our party united ana best preserve the influence and power of o|gjr. State at home and amongst her Co-States, we earnestly appeal to our krother democrats who are for the present action of this State to forbear, and to join with us >n preserving the unity of the party and turning its whole power Cuu efforts against our common enemies, the whigs and abolitionists. lifHjJvetl, That the charge that South-Carolina is seeking a dismemberment of this Union, or has countenanced any such measure, is gratuitous, and has no foundation in fact; and th^fit would be unworthy of even this notice, had not Mr. Clay, the whig Candidate for the Presidency, allowed hi mealf to bo so far imposed upon as to betray him into countenancing in a published letter this miserable and calumnious imputation .upon a body of people, of whom his recent and social intercourse should hav? taught him to Judge more faithfully. lvuoloed, That with'an unchanged confluence in the firmness, consistency, wisdom and patriotism of John C. Calhoun, and while we are still deeply sensible of the value of his long, faithful and eminent public service, we take this opportunity to acknowledge the additional obligations to our gratitude and admiration, while he has established by the dignity, ability and wise statesmanship with which he has in the Department of State maintained the honor and interests of the country, and especially those of thn *Wv? States against the insidious designs and the arrogant assumptions of Great Britain, and also for his efforts for the annexation of Texas, and wo hereby render him the onfy reward in our power, the homage of the undiminished gratitudo and affection of his old constituents. The meeting then adjourned. STATE ELECTIONS. North Carolina.?The Whig majority for Governor, in all the counties but two, is 2938?in the p. J>nun t tnu?rn?r'? "Wlion n.?ol. 1 .1... Presidential election about 12,000 : Iu the Senate it is set down as 2, and in the House 22. Alabama.?In the 3d Congressional District, formerly represented by the Hon. DixonH. Lewis, Mr. Yuncoy, Democrat, is elected by a majority of 713 over Mr. Watrous, Whig. Tho Harrison majority in 1840, was 659. Iu the 42 counties heard from, 9 Democratic Senators are elected, and 3 Whigs ; and 58 Democratic Representatives, an4 31 Whigs. "The majority oh joint ballot last year, says the Tuscaloosa Flag, "was 35?it will be increased probably 8 votes." Indiana.?The complete returns from this State give the Democrats a majority of two in the State Senate, (being a gain of one) and the Whigs a majority of four in tho House. Kentucky.?The former large Whig majority in this State will be greatly reduced. Thus far jt is only 4,948, and will doubtless be lessened still more by the returns to come. Il.I.INlOK T'ip rinmnorofa ?**? ??? thing hcfbre.jhem. They will ? all the members of Congress except one, if not him also, a large majority in the Legislature, and a majority of 10,000 votes in the State. Missouri.?The partial returns received aro indecisive, but indicuto a material Whig gain. Although we do not admit the right of any journal to call upon us for an expression of opinion on questions of public policy, yet we have no objection to answer that of the Courier in relation to the Judicial office. Our opinions are well known to ho conservative, and most assuredly, wc would least of all ndtnit the ^propriety of innovation on our judicial establishment. One change too frequently leads to another, and a breach once made in the tenure of the office of Judge, however unimportant or intrinsically right in itself, may be followed by more radical alterations, especially in a country like ours, which is already too rife with innovation. The question itself, whether there should bo a limitation as to time in the Judicial office, is not to he determined without reference toclimate, looking to the most efficient ad ministration oPjustfce. That energy ~uTftf activity of mind which secure the greatest dispatch of business in courts are rarely found in warm latitudes after the age of sixty. But it becomes a questior whether a fresh infusion of vigor may not be ton hicdilv nnrchaseil if onlv to be obtained at the ane. rifico of experience. At all events, whatevei might have been the wisdom of.tho policy oftion' limitation, at the adoption of the Constitution, w? do not think it would lie sale now to meddle wit! the institution, in any particular, while in othei parts of the Union, the tendency to change in th< judicial office is so plainly visible.?Chat. Pal. The Methodists.?From the minutes of th< Annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopa Church for the year 1843?44, just published, (sayi the N. Y. Pott), it appears that the nett increase of members during the year, was 102,831. This added to the increase of the previous year, namely 154,624, makes tlte unprecedented increase of 257, ,4&&in tKo Jwiit psnnd nf twnjrMM nnrl rim ?hnli number of members of the Methodist Episcopa Church, 1,171,^56. The number of the travelling preachers, or regular clergy, is 4,282; of the su perannuated, or wprn out travelling preachers, 339 and that of the lo^al or lay preachers, 8,087. To tal number of preachers, 12,708. In other words the number of Methodist Preachers in the Unitei States and Texas, excoeds that of the standing army of the United States. It is a fact worthy c notice, that out of the whole number of traveUini preachers, it was found necessary during the las year to expel only two from the connexion. Tb number of withdrawals was thirty-one. Rumor.?A letter was received this mornincri the Sun office from Washington, stating in nut stance that at a meeting of the Cabinet yesterday it had been determined upon to call an extra sei sion of Congress. It is further stated that Eng land has taken the $4,000,000 loan of Mexico, ft the purpose of facilitating a war between tho tw government*. This is given as a reason for cal ing the extra session. The Washington j>apei are silent upon the subject, and we are net dii prosed to give much credit to the rumor.?Bait atate Patriot. B " "* 1 * UnfobtunaiH Event.?A Mr. Fenno was a* cidently shot at Portland! Me., a few days sine* by a Mr. Neal.

They are symptomatic of an unsound ' condition of opinion among a certain efcss of our'titizens. Disunion is an openly avowed sentiment. Dismemberment is broached as a desirable consummation. Where this is not expressed ivbpporoes .connected with remedial plans which lea4jio.it by -necessary association. The step is but shpt^' between State action as proposed, and Disuriidij*--?between opposition to constituted authoritv and armed ranis tauc, perhaps civil war. Discussion of extreme remedies leads tlio public min<J[jU> tlieir familiar contemplation. In this way, the Sentiment of disloyalty to the'Union is grad unity. undermined.? That which was only a poljwil vision, from which all revolted, even in 1 ri)Hflinatioh, soon be tiur-J in,ced from the first suggestion onffituWion, a sound from which alt at one peri^'wew startled 'with horror, down to the pre^fhi fhmiTiar use of the hateful word, and who can ^leisure- the hateful gradations, so insensible has beM'Iftie progress of the idea, which it reprettfents.
