RESOLUTIONS.
A meeting of the DEMOCRATIC RE
PUBLICAN MEMBERS of. the Le
gislature of North Carolina, was
held at the Senate Chamber on Wednes
day evening, 2d January, 1839. All
the members being present (except three
or four who had left the City) tie meet
ing was organized by the appointment of
Wkldon N. Edwards, Esq. Chairman,
M. Hoke and M. A. Wilcox, Secre:a-
The folio wing resolutions had been pro
posed at a previous meeting as expressing
the sentiments and feelings of the mem
bers, and they were now taken up, amend
ed, discussed and finally passed by an un
animous vote:
Besolved, That in concealing from the
public any intention to revive their war in
tavorofa National Bank, under the cover of
an attack upon the Expunging Rcsolu-
lions, and by withholding from the people
all notice of their purpose sa to assail, by in
direction, ihe fame and patriotism of An
drew Jackson, late President of the Uni
ted Stales; the 'whig or Federal parly"
in the North Carolina Assembly have prac
ticed an imposition upon the people, which
Usifies their affected regard for the will of
the people; and demands the indignant re
buke of the honest men of all parties.
W e say nothing of the shameless inconsis
tency, the palpable absurdity, or the inde
cent attack upon the doctrine of Instruc
tions and the private rights of gentlemen
contained in the resolutions. It is our de
sign to present, in bold relief, and unob
senred by any other considerations, this un
precedented party treachery, as an outrage
upon the rights of the people of the State.
Tluy can detetmine for themselves with
out comment from us. Did your members
before the election give notice of any such
movement by their parly? Where they
did (if any where) let them stand excused";
but where they did not, candor and justice
will pronounce a just judgment upon this
political imposition.
Resolved, That the people of the United
States have been twice subjected to the cor
rupting dominion of a Naiional Bank, ami
the country has as often witnessed the most
unprincipled efforts bv fraud and force to
obtain a renewal of its charter. The histo
ry of the last six years has been little more
than a contest of the Dank and its adherents
to deceive or to compel (he Government to
grant a renewal of its powers. The quiet
of the people has been disturbed the order
of a good Government has been impeded
the purity of the press has been corrupted
the honor of legislative councils has been
stained the authority of the Constitution
and Laws has been set at defiance by the
influence of the last National Bank. And
public fears have been excited every where
of late by the madness and corruption of
this expiring monster; a portion of whose
servile followers had become far embolden
ed as to attempt to seize upon the Govern
ment of one of the States, against the will
and contrary to the votes of a majority of
the Freemen of that Commonwealth. It
is then a dictate of interest and an impulse
of patriotism in the PEOPLE, now and
forever, to resist the rc-estabJishmcnt of a
National Bank.
Resolved, That the late Bank of the
United States proposed a renewal of its
charier in time to bring lhat question into
the Presidential election of 1832. By the
votes of some who had become its debtors
and others who were its pensioners and
hired agerlts, increased, it is true, by some
who were honestly its supporters, the char
ter was passed by Congress. Hut Andrew
Jackson, President of the United Stales,
in the discharge of his Congressional duty,
interposed his VETO, and thereby refer
red it to the people to decide for them
selves, whether they would any longer ac
quiesce in the tyranny of its misrule for
the sake of its doubtful benefits. The
people sustained their President and re
jected the Bank. That determination has
been resisted ever since. Instead of pro
ceeding to wind up its affairs, in compli
ance with law, and according to the inten
tions which had been avowed as the cause
for seeking an early decision upon its fate;
instead of reducing its business in submis
sion to the determination of the people, the
Bank organized and prosecuted a system
directly the reverse of these professions,
and contrary to its duty. It had resorted
to a foreign market to borrow money, and
by that means to strengthen itself for a
contest against our Government It ex
tended its loans, particularly amongst mem
bers of Congress, so to multiply the num
ber of its dependents. It retained and ap
plied to other uses the Funds of the Gov
ernment which had been put into its hands
as an agent, to pay off a part of the Nationa 1
debt, and actually negociated with public
creditors abroad to withhold the presenta
tion of their demands, and that without the
consent of our Government or its officers.
It placed the vast wealth of the Institution!
in the hands of one man, and permitted
nim tousc what he chose for Electioneer
ing purposes. It paid hirelings t) villify
the people and their President, and to ca
lumniate every prominent public man who
had the honesty to resist its struggle for
mastery over the nation. It exclude."! from
a patticip itujn in their proceedings, the of political abolitionism is worthy of his
Directors apooin'ed for the people to watch Utation as a President of the UNION. He
over ihc public interest in the Bank, and merits the undivided :pplane of the whole
maliciously pers-cutcdand denounced them South, as he has received the self saerifi
lor disclosing some of the "secrets of the! cing succor of the Republicans and Demo
prison house;" and finally when the House! era's of u.c North.
of UcpreseMt wives sent a Committee to in- j Resolved, That the President of the Uni
vestigatclhe rest, and to report upon Ihc j ted States lias honestly redeemed his pled
couductof ihe Bank and its condition, it-iges to the Nation, and vindicated the con
managers arrogantly set up a right to de-j tidenec of his Sourhcrn friends at his clec
cide what the Committee might see, and Hon in IS36. He did not quail before Bank
what they might not see; and thus in the powers, nor before the threats of Fcd-ra-
iace ot Law, and contrary to an express
icquiMuon in us charier, the liank was
closed against any other sort of invcstiguA
lion. In. all these Ihinps ih IbnL tVni,.rt
partizans to defend and minions to applaud
its cuursc. Right or . wrong it was to be
upheld, and no little exertion was made to
sustain it. But it is a source of still greater
alarm for the cause of public liberty in any
futures' niggle wilh this monstrous power,
that as it did heretofore, so it may hercaf
ier, secure the co-operation of o hers whose
honesty, is not questioned, but whose no
tions of Government arc ad werse to the in
fluence of popular opinion, and others also,
with whom, from any combination of cir
cumstances, they are or may have been
temporarily allied in party conflicts.
With these crimes before us, and after such
dangers are past, it were a libel upon the
intelligence of the republican people ol
Noith Carolina, to sayT that they- will evtr
agree to the creation of another National
Rank.
Resolved, That ihc system of using State
Banks ss agents and depositories of the
General Government has been tiicd and
failed, at a heavy loss to the nation of their
money and credit, and it ought not to he
again adopted. The revenues of Ihe Uni
ted States are collected to defray the ex
penses of Government, and they ought not
to be loaned out by the Banks nor to the
Banks.
Resolved, That an entire separation of the
General Government from ALL BANKS
is necessary for the safety of the Constitu
tion, and is in no way perilous to any of
.he legitimate rights of the Banks; and the
pretexts that such a system will "enlarge
the powers or patronage of the Executive,"
or "place in his hands the purse and the
sword," arc political calumnies; artifices
contrived by a party who have no confi
dence in public intelligence, and therefore
Mibslitutc epithets for arguments and clam
ors for facts a part' who dread no influ
ence in cur Government so much :s the
rightful control of the people.
Resolved, That there is no safety to cur
liberty and no security to business so long
as the Government and the Banks are uni
ted. In such a connexion the Government
must be a Banker or the Banks will be ihe
Government. Whenever the Government
and Banks combine, for evil, they will be j fish plans of the Federal leaders in creat
too strong for the people. W hen they uplit, iog this division, and in still continuing
it tnc Government triumphs over the Banks 'the r opposition. We rrjoicc to believe
the businesss of the country will be deran-t! atdivisions in the Republican family of
ged and the pursuits of the community em-' North Carolina will now cease, and hence
barrassed, to say nothing of the public mcr-j f rt h we rally (as many of us are already
als. If on the othcrhand, the Banks prove rallied) around the common standard of

Resolvcd, That either the Banks must be
kept divorced from the Government mon -
ey or they will ultimately divorce the peo -
2)le Irom their Government. Ii the people!
agree tnat they rannot manage IhGir purse
without Bank agency, the Banks will not be
long in prcsumirg to take ontrol of the
"sword" likewise. If the people have no
capacity for taking care of their revenues
and must now acquiesce in the necessity of
giving it up to the Banks, the latter will
relieve them in time from the care of their
Government also. Thesystcm of an "In
dependent Treasury" proposes to let the
people keep their own money by the hands
of their own responsible agents. That is
all. It is therefore a question between
the Banks on one side and the people on
the other, which shall have the control
of the public purse? The People or the
Banks?
In its consequences this is a question cf
Liberty! Shall the money and Govern
ment of the U. States be retained by the
people, or shall they both be surrendered
up to the absolute dominion of a Bank des
potism? Upon this great question Martin Van
Buren, President of the United Sta'es, has
taken his stand on the side of the people,
and he is eminently entitled to their confi
dence and support. It is dishonoring the
people of North Carolina to suppose that
they have taken sides with the Bank? a
giinst Constitutional liberty, and it wilfbe
slandering them to say that they will not
stand by the man who has so nobly stood
by their rights.

ispe-
c-ally in his own Statr. Like a triu: patriot
and an unterrified lover of the Union, he
has properlyr looked forward to the period
when he and his country will both be sus
tained, against every factious combina
i')n and selfish delusion, by the ''second
sober thought" of that people whose servant
he is.
He was charged with a want of firmness
and frankness, but he has now proved him
s if, amidst the severest trials, an open
Statesman, and a fearless pa'riot. He was
charged by some with abolitionism, and
others suspected his fidelity to the rights
of the South, but he is now battling for
tho.'C rights, because they nre the lights of
the Const Hut ton; :;nd though many of
his opponents, in our State, have since hon
estly joined the banner of his cause, you
see some of his bitterest accusers, them
selves, fighting in the ranks of his aboli
tion enemies. The alliance with aboli
tion, which be spurned, even his Southern
opponents arc too selfish to reject and too
cowardly to embrace openly.
The dictation of party leaders, whose
chief aim it is to get into office and perpetu
ate their power, by Ihe influence of the
Bank, will persevere in their hostility to
the man; but they overrate their own
strength and ur.derva'ue the intelligence
of our people, if they stippose that North
Carolina will ever lend her aid to such a
fearful combination, or unite in the pros
tration of a President who has been faith
ful to his trust, and unwavering in his ad
herence to the Constitution and the Un
ion. Resolved, That there were many true
Republicans in North Carolina, who sepa-
rated from the democratic ranks in 1S36,
and voted against Mr. Van Buren, because
they thought that Judge While was of the
sime political party. They hive now dis
covered the purpose for which Judge
White's name was used. Others again have
seen in the principles of Mr. Van Buren's
ad minis: ration, more of the truc"Republican
doctrines of 'OS" than they expected at the
time of his election; and all hut those who
are wilfully blind, have detected, by subse
quent devclonements. what were the sel-
terest, or allies of Federalism, follow where
1 f dc pride or any other ignoble feeling
Wads their way. Let them (if they prefer
") denounce abolitionism m words and sus
tain its existence by their votes. We call
upon the honest Republicans of North Car
olina to unite, forgetful of past foods.
Our motto is ''principles, and the men
who carry out and defend them. "
Resolved, That this meeting respectfully
warn their Democratic friends, th at the en
emits of the administration and the devo
ted advocates of a National Batik have no
hope of a triumph over us in North Caroli
na, except by fomenting strife in the re
publican ranks, and by a concealment of
the real object of the other party. They
will profess hostility to a National Bank
only to impose upon the people, for their
exertions are united and untiring to bring
into the Presidency any one who is in favor
of the Bank; nobody who is against it.
They pretend to perform a duly as Leg
islators in declaring theiropinions upon all
"great and important questions which
have been or are now agitating the public
mind;" but this greatest of all questions (3
National Bank) is cautiously omittcdt or
else it is. only indirectly and covertly
sanctioned by them.
Thejfsee and know that the true issue is
Independent , Treasury or a National
Bank. The Bank party at times, when,
flushed by temporary success, exhibit their
schemes. Hence Mr. Clay's plan of a SO
Million Bank! Bui so soon as the hostili
ty of the people begins to show itself,
"Whig" politicians affect to have abandon
