(Edgecombe County, N. C.J Saturday, February iG, 1839
33 Ve copy from the Globe the fol
lowing remarks, made to the U. S. Senate
on Air. Brown's introducing the
RESOLUTIONS
Of the Legislature of North Carolina.
concluded.)
Mr. BROWN, in rising to reply to the
Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Clay, who,
with his accustomed delicacy, had, in a ve
ry extraordinary manner, presented him
self before that body, to arraign the course
of his colleague and himself, said: That, in
the outset of his remarks, he should protest
against, and peremptorily challenge, the
right of the Senator to interfere in a question
purely between themselves and their con
stituents. What right had that Senator to
assume upon himself the authority thus at
tempted to be exercised by him? From
whom did he derive his authority?
Where were his credentials? Who had
constituted him their attorney, in fact,
thus to arraign the course of members on
this floor?
Having fcit it to be his duty thus em
phatically to except to the assumed power
of the Senator, and considering that he had
been fairly ousted of the jurisdiction that
he had sought to assert, he would now go a
step further, and say that he should per
emptorily decline, from high considera
tions of what was due to himself and his
own rights; to notice any of the topics in
troduced by him, or to join issee with him
on any one of the questions which he seeks
to raise, in reference to the manner of dis
charging our duties as members of this bo
dy. If, however, he had considered it in
cumbent on himself to refuse to join issue
with the Senator on any of the topics rais
ed by him, yet. there were some other
things which it was his purpose to say to
him before he concluded his remarks.
In tiie first place, his constituents would
no doubt feel exceedingly obliged to that
gentleman, whose political course had long
been distinguished for its peculiar devotion
to Southern interests, for having volunteer
ed, on the present occasion, to appear as
the champion of their rights. The friends
of the great right of instruction will, no
doubt, in ever j- part of the country, learn
with no little surprise that the Senator has
become its advocate and eulogist! What,
said Air. B. the Senator from Kentucky
now assuming to pronounce, with oracular
certainty and authority, the true doctrine of
the right of instruction!
How long, he
would ask, has it been since that gentleman
had entitled himself to become its teacher &
expounder? Was it from the eminent ser
vices rendered by him to its principles,
when instructions wee coming from a ma
jority of the Stales of this Union to their
Senators on this floor, directing them to
sustain the late Administration in the
mighty conflict then waging against it by
the Bank of the United States, and the po-
inicai party acting in concert wan it.'
Who docs not remember that gentleman's
course on that most important occasion?
A majority of the States of this Union be
lieving thai a great crisis in our public af
fairs had arrived, sent resolutions here to
their Senators, instructing them directly
and peremptorily not resolutions so fra
med as to be in effect fraudulent in regard
to that right, but resolutions commanding
their Senators, in terms plain and unequiv
ocal, to carry out their wishes. Did the
Senator then stand forth as their defender
and vendicator? Did he exhort the large
number of his political friends, then hodly
violating and defying positive instructions,
to respect that great doctrine? No, said
Air. B., his course was far otherwise. We
then heard daily anathemas from his politi
cal friends against instructions, the popular
voice was scouted, although it had been ex
pressed in some instances twice or thrice to
some of the gentleman friends, in the
shape of positive commands, and, standing
foremost among those who animated them
to resist the will of their constituents, and
exhorted them to unyielding firmness in
that course, was the Senator from Kentuc
ky himself; and yet he now undertakes to
become a lecturer to others on the great
principle of instruction!
Who did not remember the reception
given in this body, during the famous pan
ic session, to the instructions sent by the
patriotic State of New Hampshire, to her
Senators, the first movement of the kind,
directing them to vote for expunging the
condemnatory, sentence against President
Jackson, and to sustain his administration
against the war then waged by the Opposi
tion party, and the Bank of the United
States? The able Republican Senator, who
presented them, was assailed in debate on
this floor, his Stale insulted, and even the
common courtesy of printing the resolu
tions of instruction was refused by the po
litical friends of the Senator, who then held
the power in this body. With what pro
priety, then he demanded could a political
party, who had trampled on the right of in
struction, scorned and contemned thepub-
I he will, by the most high handed outrages,
wueueveranu wherever they had possessed
,,t vn;u propriety could they re
proach others, in regard to their course,
when no instructions had been given them?
His constituents would, no doubt, be ex
ceedingly obliged for the advice of a gen
tleman in their affairs who had been conspi
cuously associated as one of the leading
members of what was familiarly known, in
this country, by the name of the "Coali
tion Administration." Judging from
their past sentiments in regard to it, he did
not believe that they possessed, at this time,
any very strong desire to witness its resto
ration to power in any shape. If one mem
ber of that by-gone administration had c
right to interfere in their affairs, by offering
ad vice, the great political high priest him
self who headed it, may, with the same
propriety, claim to offer his. And where
now is the head of that famous administra
tion, and what are his daily occupations?
Fallen from what was due to the dignity
of his former station he is almost daily en
gaged in the disgusting and wretch pursuit
of Abolition agitation!
Where, Mr. B. would ask, were the po
litical friends of the Senator from Ken
tucky, who resided north of the Potomac,
with some honorable exceptions, to be
found on that question? The great mass
of them were found, in the two Houses ol
Congress, and in the Legislative halls of
their respective States, pursuing a course
in direct hostility to the South. There
was not a State Legislature north of the Po
tomac, in which the political friends of that
Senator had obtained power, unless in those
where slavery existed, that resolutions at
tacking the rights and interests of the South
on the vitally important question of slave
ry had not passed! And be it said to the
T" A r r r- mWU ...1. 11,1
immortal honor of the Democratic party of
the North, who have been so scandalously
calumniated by most of the Federal piesses
ofthe South, on that question, that while
their Senators and Representatives, in al
most an entire bodv. have sustained our
just rights in the two branches of Congress,
there is not a single State north ofthe Po
tomac, in which the Democratic party
have not, in the noble spirit of justice and
union, passed resolutions strongly sustain
ing the rights of their sister confederate
States ofthe South!
The Senator from Kentucky had, to il
lustrate his view of the right of instruction,
referred to his own servant, and his obliga
tions to obey his commands, when given
by him. In alluding to his remarks on
this subject, it was, -no part of his purpose
said Air. D. to join issue with him, and
to debate that point, as he intended care
fully to preserve the ground taken at the
outset of his remarks, not to admit, direct
ly or indirectly, his jurisdiction on this
subject, by joining issue with him on any
question which he had thought proper to
raise; but he would answer him somewhat
after the Yankee manner, by asking ano
thef'queslion. Let us suppose said Mr.
B. that a servant, who desired occupa
tion, had applied three several times to a
farmer or planter for employment, and that
that farmer or planter had three limes, ei
ther from a supposed want of honestyr or
skill in the applicant, in pretty plain and
positive language, rejected his importuni
ties to enter his service; what would be
the opinion ofthe world as to the modesty
which, under such circumstances, could
venture a fourth importunity? He thought
this very like the case of a distinguished
individual, who had presented himself
three times to the American people to be
employed la a certain high station, and
who had been three times signally reject
ed; and, if public rumor was now to be
credited, was again prepared for a fourth
rebuff by the popular voice.
Again, Air. B. said, his constituents
would, no doubt, feel and appreciate a de
fence, coming from a gentleman whose al
most entire public course, for a series oi
years, had been directly at war with their
rights and interests; a Senator whose mis
called American system, until thrown off
by determined resistance, had, for a series
of years, impoverished and desolated the
South, oppressed her citizens, and almost
ruined her commerce; a Senator whose fa
vorite system of policy he declared most
solemnly) in his opinion, had aimed a more
fatal blow at the Constitution and Union of
the States, than any other and all other
measures combined. A system which
had, at one time, shaken the pillars of our
glorious Confederacy to their very founda
tions; and wnich had created and, he fear
ed, had established those dangerous sec
tional prejudices and feelings which were
destined to endure too long for the harmo
ny and safoty of our country.
Air. B. had now finished saying what he
had felt due to himself and the occasion,
and due to the interference which his re
marks were intended to repel.

:dertake to say, but from some motive or
other, attacked Dr. Duncan, and insinua-
ted that he was an abolitionist. The Fed
eral presses have anticipated the publica
tion of their speeches, by circulating every
where in the South, that Air. Stanly had
"used up,J the Doctor. As we thought,
at the time, it is the oiher way. Dr. Dun
can asked leave to explain, and being stop
ped by Mr. Stanly's remarking that he
did not give way for a speech, but only for
an explanation:
"Dr. Duncan said, he would yield the
"floor; but as the previous question was
"pending, and therefore he could have no
"opportunity to reply, he must first pro
"nounce the insinuation that he was an
"abolitionist, a Base Falsehood and a
"Foul Detraction, whether it dwelt upon
"the lips of the unprincipled calumniator,
"or floated on the breeze in the corrupt,
"poisonous, and slanderous Federal sheels
"ofthe day,"
We wonder if the Federal presses will
circulate the truth with as much alacrity as
they have promulgated a falsehood in this
matter? llaleigh Standard.
Violent Death. On Saturday night
last, a negro mau known as Fellow or
Othello Al errick, was killed in our commu
nity. An inquest was legally held, and
the following is the verdict ofthe jury:
"That one Nicholas C. Robinson, with a
knife or dirk, did give Fellow Alernek a
negro man, one mortal wound on the right
side of the neck, just above the collar
bone, of which wound he instantly died."
Robinson has been imprisoned and will
in due time have this charge legally inves
tigated; until then, it is unbecoming in the
press to take any step calculated to affect
public opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner. JVilmington Adv.
Produce. We learn that there is a vast
quantity of produce at the several depots
ofthe Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road
ready for market. Indeed it has accumu
lated faster than the company can transport
it, and much dissatisfaction is said to exist
in consequence. We are both pleased and
displeased at such a state of things. Pleased
to see so much marketable stuff, seeking
purchasers in our lown; and displeased
that the Company cannot carry it off as
fast as it is brought to them. Rapid exer
tions are, however, now making to do this;
and our country friends are assured that
they are suffering a greater inconvenience
now than they will ever do again. The
Company have just received a small quanr
tity of iron, and an additional locomotive
from Philadelphia. Alore of both'is daily
expected. ib.
New Southern Mail Bottte. The Nor
folk Beacon states that an arrangement has
been made with the Postmaster General
for the daily transportation of the mail he-"
tween Baltimore and Charleston, via the
Portsmouth and Roanoke Rail Road. This
chsnge, while it greatly facilitates the
transportation between the North and
South, will, it is added, enhance the value
ofthe stock of the Rail road, and render
the improvement as profitable to the Com
pany as it is usefid and valuable to the
public. The arrangement will commence
on the first of Alarch.
Survey of Beaufort Harbor. The
Ncwbern Spectator says: We are gratified
to he able to stale, that the U. S. culler
Experiment, Lieut. Glynn, arrived at
Beaufort last week, for the purpose of ma
king a survey of that harbor with refer
ence to its suitableness for a national navy
yard. The corps awaits but the arrival of
a steamboat, now on her passage from Nor
folk, to commence operations. The re
sult, we think, cannot, be otherwise than
favorable to the claims of that noble har
bor on the national atlention.
Philanthropic. Mr. John Rex, whose
death we publish, made provision in his
will for sending his slaves to Liberia. His
farm, with all its appurtenances, is to be
sold, and also any of the negroes who may
refuse to go, and the proceeds divided a
mong those who accept their freedom upon
the terms specified. The greater part of
the remainder of his estate is to be applied
to building an asylum for the afflicted poor
of this City, to be erected under the super
intendenccof trustees to be appointed by the
city authorities. 21 acres of land near the
Water Works and from 12 to 15 thousand
dollars are appropriated to this object The
residue is a small legacy bequeathed to
distant relation in Pennsylvania.
