NORTH CAROLINIANS-DON't'fORGET THIS. At the last session of Congress, Mr. Benton of the Senate brought in resolutions against the as. tiuniption, by the Federal Government, of the State debts, amounting now to about two hundred mil lion of dollars. It was proposed, on account of the great impor tance of the subject, to refer these lcso'iutions for report to a select committee, which was opposed urenuously by the Whigs of that body. But final ly, it it'(M icfcrrcd to a select committee with Mr. Grundy at its head. And who is Mr. Grundy? He is the very man who, on the ISth June 1S1C, at the head of the Committee of Foreign Relations, lesponded in the affirmative to Mr. Madison's Mes sage, stating that 'war existed" 1 etween the Ur;i led States and Great Britain. Well, Mr. Grundy, as Chairman, brought in a report and resolutions iigainst the usui:iption of these State debts, w hich the Whigs vehemently opposed. On the 10th of February Mr.CIay w? or rd to post pone the wJd.Ie ndjict indefinitely, which motion was lost 27 to 15. Those in lavor of postpone ment were all bigs, viz.: Belts, Clay, Clayton, Crittenden, (Gag -man) Davis, (the man who per verted the meaning of Buchanan's speech on the Sul-Treasury, pretending that Buchanan admitted jii that speech that the Independent Treasury w ould prioralu a jaiuot mechanics and labourers, w hich was a trick to gain recruits to his Davis's party,) Dixon, Henderson, Merrick, Porter, Prentice, Rug gles, Smith of Indiana, Spence, Tallmadge and White 15. The noes were all Democrats. Af ter a warm debate between the patties, the resolu tions against assumption were passed "by the votes of the Democratic members." "1 he first resolution was in the following words? toived. That the assumption, directly or in directly, by the General Government, of the debts which have been, or may be contracted by the States for local objects or State purposes, would be unjust both to the Stales and the people." Mr. Webster moved an adjournment, which was negatived 27 to 10. "The question was then taken on the resolution as given above, and it passed 30 to 1." Here the Extra Globs states that "Messrs. Webster, Clay, Crittenden, Davis, Merrick, Southard and Tall madge, had not the manliness to vote on cither side, and skulked the question, having been in the Sen ate on a previous vote." "On the second resolution, that the assumption would be inexpedient ami dangerous to the Union," continues the Globe, "the vote blood SS to 3 all the above named Whig Senators again skulking from their duty." When Mr. Webster was in London last year, Baring, Brothers, &co., put the following ques tion to him as a Lawyer and Statesman: "Has the Legislature of one of the American States legal and constitutional power to contract loans at home and abroad." Mr. Webster answered in the affirmative; but still, iv would seem that they were not fully satis fied, for tw o day a afterwards, they issued the fa mous circular, which speaks of the late loan to the United States Bank of 800,000 at two years, on deposite of Pennsylvania and other State Stocks at a price w hich gives 10 per cent to the subscribers states that "many years will be required for reul inrestn.cnts to absorb all that is at present in our market'''' gives such borrowers to understand that State credit is sinking, as proved by the market prices of their stocks that if they wish to borrow more to complete their rail roads, ivc, they must give "a more comprehensive guarantee than that of individual States" that is, they must give the United States for security. And how will the U nited States bocome security? Answer : by assu ming the State debts, and making them their own. And what wou'd be the consequence of that, even if the public lands were set apart (as is proposed by some) as a fund for the purpose 1 Why the re sult will be that the taxes mi st bs raised upon the people. Before Gen. Harrison was brought out by the Federal party as their Candidate for the Presiden cy, most of their leading papcis North, had begun to pave the way for the assumption; but as soon as that was known, they became silent on the subject, as the policy then wes and still is that no fuither disclourcs should meet the "public eye" till after the presidential election. In the nvan time, the people must be pressed by banks on the one hand, and coaxed by log-cabins on the other. When, therefore, the question of assumption was brought before the Senate, of the United States, every pos sible effort was made by the Ilarrisoniles, la keep the question out of view for th present. But will it not be expected to make its ppearance in full, if Harrison is elected ? For let it be borne in mind 'bat Harrison is not to veto any law which shall be passed ly both houses of Congress and if Har rison is popular enough to be elected, there is lit tle doubt but that he will carry with him the desir. ed majority in Congress. The money-mongers govern England, and the money-mongers of the UniteJ Stales will govern this country in conjunc tion with those of Europe, if Harrison should chance to be elected. But, as the latter hold the. bonds, they will be the strongest every where. Let the people beware of quicksands and shoals before it be too late. It must be confessed that the question put to Webster by Baring cXco., is rather strange ! If they doubted about the legality of that kind cf busi. ness, why did they do so much cf it before they made the enquiry? Do they intend to gue the States if they fail in good faith? Hardly. Then thcie seems to be no good reason for asking the question. One thing is pretty clear; that is, that they began to lock more to the pledge than to those from w hom they lcccivcd it. There stocks arc low in market, but some of- the stock-jobbers may be lower still. ACTION ! ACTION ! ! ACTION ! ! ! THE OLD NORTH STATE MUST 13E REDEEMED1.! We have the most cheering accounts from the Eastern and Middle section of the state. The last Standard says : 'We learn that our friends in different 1 actions of the State, are rapidly organizing for the 12th of November. Time presses but it is not too late, it they will but rouse up, and go to work with a hearty good will, we shall then teach the Whigs a lesson to be remembered during the ir lives, miction is all we w ant. H e have veibai accounts from several counties of the most encour aging character. Nash county: The demo, eraey there, are sriid to be in the highest enthusiasm, rmd Harrison will doubtless fiU f.hnrt of Mmvliend's vote. That native and intrepid champion of Democracy Gen. Saunders addressed the people? at Nashville during their Superior Coi.rt week w ith ex traordinary power, and was succeeded by Mr. Craig, of our Electoral Ticket who gained new Iannis in a new field. War ren county. The democratic nssociation holds its wetl-.lv meetings, and able aid spirited addresses are delivered. The County v Macon will blow Whiggery sky high in November. Johnson county: The eloquent Representative from that Congres sional District, the lion. Charles Shepard addr?sed the people at Smithfudd last week with his accustomed ability. Our re counts are highly complimentary to Mr. Shrpard; and although the "Register" gives a dilTerent account of the matter, we have no doubt he has been deceived by partial representations. Mr. Shepard will again address the people this "week at aynesboro'. We commend the activity of Mr. Shrpard to the imitation of our re publican leaders throughout the State. Franklin eounty: Our friends there too are on tire alert. The humbugging and slang whanging there, lias disgusted man' of the people and excited the Democrats. Edge combe county: There also our friends are aroused. The Whigs missed their mark at their railroad frolic, they have roused the lion; and in November he will roar. Jf'ake county: AH right: skies bright. We pre grossly deceived if the Democracy of Wake do not give a belter account of them selves in November than they did even in August. Gates county: We have charming intelligence from this County. The Dem ocrats are up and organizing with j-pirit. We should like to publish our accounts more particularly, but our limits forbid. In the West too, the best spirit prevails. The intrepid Democracy are thoroughly aroused. Our friends every where are up and doing fighting the enemy hand to hand putting down his many falsehoods and misrepresentations, and exposing his me;m attempts to deceive and impose upon the honest voters of the Country. The 7ih of October was a proud day fjr Wes tern Carolina. We witnessed the return of a large number of the people from the meeting at King's Mountain ; and never have we seen men so enthusiastic or so determined. The universal sentiment is that the old North State must be redeemed; and the Democracy of the West are deter mi'ned to spare no effort which honor and honesty " ill justify, to accomplish so de sirable tfn end. We say then to our brethren of die East, ''Dont "ice up the ship." TAKE DOW.N THE FALSEHOOD! We take the following from the "Wes tern Star of Liberty," in the Editorial head of which paper it has been standing for some weeks: "POOR MEN LOOK AT THIS." POVERTY and VICE usually go hand in hand." "Martin Vim Burcii's speech in the Ncio York Conviction-" We know r.ot on what authority the Ed itor of the "Western Star of Liberty" has made the above assertion ; but we do know that his authority has led him out of the- limits of truth. Mr. Van Burcn never made use of the expression attributed to him ; on the contrary, he stood in opposi tion, in the New York Convention, to the individual who did use it. In the New York Convention, when the subject of a bolishing the property qualification in re lation to the ri"ht of ftilTrase was under discussion, Mr. Van Bureii exerted all his abilities against "the property qualifica tion;" and the candid enquirer after truth will admit, that the expression of the sen timent attributed to Mr. Van Buren above, would have been directiy in opposition to ihe ends his speeches were intended to ac complish. Independently of this, the his tory of the times contradicts the assertion. But the expression teas used in the Con vention, when the subject above spoken of was under debate. It was used by Judge Van Ness, who was in favor of "the prop eriy qualification" and who answered Mr. Van Buren. We make a short extract fron the speech of Judge Van Ness : "The lime is not distant, when thos that have nothing, will form a majority in the cities and large villages, and constitute a large portion of the population, even hi the country. Emigrants of all descriptions, and from every quarter of the (J lobe, were constantly pouring in to swell the tide of population, and in many cashes to increase the mass of vice, ignorance, and poverty. But whed is the char acter rf the POOR ? Generally speakinir. POVERTY and VICE go hand in hand." These are the words of Judge Van Ness, one of the ablest Federalists in the Con vention ; and one o Mr. Van Burcn's strongest opponents. We therefore call upon the "Star of Liberty" man to haul down the precious liitlc article. AMERICAN CLAIMS ON FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. "We are happy to learn, by advices from Valparaiso," says the Washingion Globe, that our Clarge d' A flairs has succeeded in obtaining from the Chilian Government indemnity for the seizures oi .itncncan property by Lord Cochrane, when in the service of that power; and that there is a reasonable prospect of an early liquidation of the other American claims. This is an other proof that the eye end lbs arm ;f a Republican Administration are every where extended r.nd excrtul for the protection or vii tlii a ion of American rights. " for the nr.ri'DLicAN. At a meeting of a portion of the citizens of Lincoln and Rutherf.ifd, it was Resolved, That the citizens of the contem plated new eounty in that section, have a meeting at Wilson's Springs on Saturday the 13 1 st. Oct. iust at which time and place a public iiarbacue will be given. Resolved, That David IJamiick, Jacob Collins, Benjamin Ellis, and Joseph Har den, be a commilic of arrangements, who are also authorized to invite such gentle men as they may think, proper, to address the people on the important political sub jects which are now agitatiug the public mind. Oct. 10th. 1840. GREAT GA THERING OF THE DE MOCRACY ! For the following account of the Celebra tion of the Battle of King's Mountain, we are indebted to a friend, who was present on that interesting occasion : KING'S MOUNTAIN CELEBRATION". On Tuesday evening previous to the contemplated celebration, it became evident that tiic call on the people of the tvfo Caro linas had not been unheeded or unheard. At an early hour, wagons, carriages, fcc, arrived from every quarter, at the ground prepared for them; and hundreds of the patriotic citizens of the two sister States, were to be seen busily engaged in making preparations for encampment. And altho by midnight, the grounds around were white with the broad canvass of tents, and illuminated by the cheerful light of "a thou sand" fires; still, the throng continued to be increased by new arrivals, till late the next morning, swelling the number to from ten to fifteen thousand. It is needless to add, that numbers were there from all tiie surroutiding counties and districts of the two States. And it was gratifying to know, that the distant coun ties of Davidson and Stokes, had displayed their zeal, by sending special Delegates to represent them. The scene throughout the whole night was one of the most animating and anima ted character. Everv person appeared de lighted with the prospect before him; and, judging from appearances, the anticipations of every one were more than realized. Bands of music ceased not to enliven the spot made sacred by Revolutionary deeds; and the mountains sent back in echoed strains, the shrill note of the fife and the coirse beat of the martial dtuin, in pleasing variety. To the Band of Music from York Dis trict the company were, much indebted, for the masterly manner in which they ex ecuted their part. York District has rea son to be proud of her young performers. At nine o'clock, a procession was form ed o;i the hill North of the Battle Ground, under the command of Cols. W. C. Beat tie and Peter IIokz, Marshals of the day. From thence .'he procession moved through the encampment to the top of the mountain on which the bottle was fought, and whete a stand was erected for the speakers. A short distance in frrnt of the stand waved the flag which bore the stars ana the stripes adopted by the patriots of the Revolution, as thr banner under which they were to re deen the pledge of "life, fortune and sacred bot'or." . tAficr the order of the day was announ ce!, Col. Wm. Davie, of Chester District, if. C, arose and addressed the large asscm Jly in a speech of about aii hour an J a half, in which, after alluding beautifully to the event in commemoration of which they had met, nnd shewing with peculiar force the fitness of the time and place selected for the friends of Democracy to meet in vindica tion of their rights, he proceeded to exam ine with great ability the principles which characterise the two contending parties. He commented at considerable length upon the resolutions adopted by the B dtirnore Convention; and shewed conclusively that they contain the doctrines, on the ascen dancy of which the Institutions of the coun try, and particularly those of the South, de pend. Col. Davie was followed by the Hon. II. W. CoxsiR, of N. Carolina, who ad dressed the people for two hours, lie de fended successfully the charge of extrava gance, so often brought against the present Admiuistration; and exposed in a masterly manner the hollow pretensions of the "great Standard Bearer" of the Federal party. When Mr. Connor resumed bis scat, let ters from a number of distinguished indi viduals were read; and which were ordered to be published by tne Committee of Ar rangements. About 2 o'clock the company were invi ted to the Barbacue, which was served up on two parallel tables, each eighty yards in length, and two separate and smaller tables nlaccd at the side of the former. To the two latter tibles, prepare:! especially for them, the Ladies in attendance were con dueled, and at which they were attended by their friends, and the members of the committee. In number, they were estbna ted at from four to live hundred; and their presence, as on all other occasions, added much to the enjoyment of this. The immense crowd soon gathered round the "p'ace of feasting;" and if there were j: XT and excepting a few unconverted whigs) he let it be discovered by none. The Com mittee had not been sparing in providing for their guests; and their guests did ample jus tice to the liberality of the Committee. At 3 o'clock the people again came to gether, and listened with the utmost atten tion, to a very able speech of the lion. Bed ford Brown. He discussed with marked force and efiVct the political topics of the day. He dispelled ihe illusions with which the Federal partv are attempting to deceive the people; and gave conclusive proof, that the party who have now assumed the name of Whigs, are the same both in principle and practice, as the old Federal party of "Alien" and "Sedition" Law memory. The Hon. Charles Fisher next addres sed the company in a very luminous and happy style. And his hearers gave loud proof, that they had not erred in the high estimate the' had placed on him. Loud and repeated calls were now made for Mr. Bcrton Craige of Salisbury, N C; when he rose and announced to the crowd, that as the evening was nearly spent, he would address them after tiiev had ta ken a short recess for supper. The j peo ple now separated, and each man went to ids tent, mingled with his companions, and exchanged congratulations. A short time after the close of night, j lires were lighted up on the mountain side, and the people again assembled, when Mr. Craige made his appearance on the stand and went on to address the large and anx ious multitude, who had evinced so great a desire to hear him, for two hours and a half, in a strain of animation which could have emanated only from the conviction of truth and a consciousness of a just cause. lie exposed the many misrepresentations, reck less charges, and gross impositions that had been practised upon the people of N. Car olina during the last summer, by the Fede ral Candidate for Governor, and his num berless deputy orators ; and pourtrayed in glowing contrast the pure principles ami elevated stand espoused and occupied by the democratic party. And in conclusion he eloquently invoked every man to dis charge his duty among his neighbors and at the polls. Mr. Hoke was now called upon and made an address of considerable length which was listened to attentively and if signs are indicative of tiling?, it was not without its effect. Here the ceremonies of the day were ended. On Thursday morning the people again came together at the speakers stand and were successively addressed by G. W. Caldwell, Esq., of Mecklenburg, N. C, and General Rodgers, of York District, S. C, the former of whom gained liurels for himself, and the latter sustained and added to his well merited reputation ; after which the following Resolutions were read and adopted by acclamation. Resolved, In the opinion of this meeting, that the present political conJest now going on in the country, is the rr.ost important that has occurred since the memorable strug gle of 'C8 & '09, and that in its result, it involves the same principles, and conse quences. Resolved, That the party who have ?is sumed the name of Whig, is the same in principle and practice as the old Federal party, who, in '98, hois'.ed the black cock ade as their badge of distinction, and who, during the late war, took sides against their own country. Resolved, That the ability and integrity with which Martin Van Buren has admin istered the Government since lie was placed in the Presidential chair, entitle bin. t trie gratitude f the American People, and loud ly call for bis re-election. We therefore pledge oursel ves to make use of all honor able means to secure his re-election. Resoh-cJ, That in our opinion the late act of Congress, ustia'ly known as tho In dependent Treasury Bill, is a wise and pa triotic measure, and should meet the support of any American who wishes to free the Government from ti c debasing control of Banks and stork-jobbers. Resolved, That the Federal scheme of assuming the payment of ihe State debts is one that should alarm every Freeman in the land, as a scheme for bringing on the country a new national debt, smother na tional Bank, and new taxes and burdens on the people. It becomes every Republican, therefore, to rc;ist it to the inmost. After the reading and adoption of the res olutions. Gen. Graves, of Casswell, N. C. concluded the ceremonies rf the occasion in a few happy and appropriate remarks. The manifest enthusiasm wbirh prevail ed throughout, gave to all a lasting eneour- ! ngement not to relax in their cfioris in the approaching contest. The loud applause with which each successive speaker was cheered, and urged to proceed, gavp evi dence that one lively feeling animated alike the speaker and his hearers. No incident occurred to mar the good fueling and order of the occasion ; now, & ; then indeed, the bitter passions of an intern- perate Federalist, rose above the power of. to create confusion and riot. But it was not fc such purpose that the Democracy had met. They came for higher and no bler objects ; and the untoward attempts of the disorganizes, were allowed to pass by unnoticed or unheard. LETTERS. We continue from our first page the pub lication of the letters received by the Com mittee of Invitation. In our next, we shall lay before our readers a highly interesting communication from Mr. Poinsett, also let ters from several other gentlemen, which, we are compelled to exclude this week. Fayetteville, Sept. 23. 1840. Gentlemen, I had the honor shortly af ter my return home from the Virginia Springs, where I had spent the summer in pursuit of health, to receive your invi tation, of the 1st instant, to join in the cel ebration of the anniversary of the King's Mountain battle. I deplore the necessity which forbids me to accept of your invitation, to be present on an occasion, where the friends of free dom, and equal rights of Democracy of State Rights of tbrs independence of the Southern Slates from foreign influence in voked by domestic treason, will unite in re-asscrtmg and consecrating their princi ples, upon one of the holiest and most il lustrious altars of llic Revolution; but this glorious privilege, so honorable to you and to the Democrats of the two Carolina? who have given it birth, it will be my misfor tune not to be able to participate in, be cause of an injury received from a fall from my horse, which disables me from stand ing or moving aoout among a large con course of people. I say to you as I have just written to the Democrats of Hicks ford Va., who hon ored me lately with an imitation to be pieseni at a political gathering of the peo ple, to be held there, on the 30th inst ; and 1 am induced to say it to you in wrilingT that it may be remembered in my own Slate, whim the prophecy shall be fuliiled,in the event of Gen. Harri-on's being Presi deni of the United Slates. "Woe to our country, should Gen. Har rison hs elected its President!! If Martin Van Burcn is turned out. Northern Demo crats, who have been fighting for Southern rights, are put down at ihe North by the abolitionists. The inljiience of ihe aboli tionists will supply their seats in Congress it will demrtml some concession from Harrison's Administration, or abandon it. The hast concession made, wiil only strengthen iheir claims and increase their appetite for more concession, until the South, threatened in its peace and domes tic institutions under the forms of the con stitution, will be driven to madness or dis union. Or, if rio concessions should be made to the abolitionists, Harrisnn'd Ad ministration will lose rme of its strongest supports, and sink into such imbecility and reproach, that, with a strong Democratic parly opposed to it, it will not be able to carry on the ordinary business of Govern ment, and thus tho whole trade, currency, commerce ami business of the country, will be thrown into the most disastrous confusion; or, if it fhould prove sirong en ough to carry out its measure", a United States Bank of 50,000,000, will be estab lished, the debts of the Statts to the a motint of neatly 6200.000,000 will be funded by the Federal Government, thus associating and consolidating the liioueved power of Enirhnd and America the taritT will c raised by taxing Southern slave la .!;.. ,.V -! .i - ...
