SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1845.
Gov. Graham's Inaugural.
We have inserted on pur first page this
able and lucid document. The reader will
hnd the sentiments in the main unexcep-
-5
believe that he can so far ullihe people of
North Carolina as to induce them to believe
that the late Assembly was the best ever
held? Let us glance at their acts. Look
at the Federal Senate. For five days a mi
nority in that body kept the government
suspended, and on the verge of revolution,
in their efforts to elect a Speaker;, and af
ter he had been elected, through the don
cessions of the democrats, he was used by
a committee and by his unscrupulous
friends to smother the freedom of debate,
and to deprive Senators of a high constitu
tional right, that of protesting against the
aets of the majority. More than this. Such
was the indecent eagerness displayed by
them to elect their Speaker, that the mem
ber from Pitt, a worthy man, but a warm
hearted partizan, was dragged from day io
day into the Senate in, a state of extreme
physical prostration until at length his
iife, so dear to his family and friends, was
sacrificed to the Moloch of party spiritj
We dare a denial of this fact Still more.
As the labors of the Legislature progressed,
and as the demands of the Rail Roads apd
the wants of an empty treasury pressed up-.
on the federal members, they saw Uiat, no
matter what the Commons might dovthey
would be forced by tfie democrats in the
Senate to make prompt and wholesome
provisions to meet the public debt, and
thus fail to carry out their favorite policy
of borrowing from the Banks; and so it
was determined to obtain at alt hazards
a majority in the Senate. An honest man
the Senator from Onslow was singled
out and sentenced beforehand to disgrace
and ignominy. A Committe a packed
committee was appointed, and the ma
jority of it hunted up evidence against
him as industriously as if they had been
laboring for a client; and in the absence of
all evidence to convict him, he was char
ged wiih the crime of forgery, a ud resolu
tions of expulsion recommended to the
Senate, j When his trial came on his coun
sel was not allowed freedom of speech, but
was prevented from saying in behalf. , of a
Senator what he might have said in the
County Courts in behalf of tne humblest
r free negro in the land. After the mocke
ry of a trial had terminated, he was expel
led by the casting vote of the Speaker; and
even after he had returned to his constitu-j
ents and been re-elecled to the. seat made
vacant by his expulsion, there were found
len men, led on by the Jltgerine majority,
who voted against admitting him! Call
you this, Mr. Gales, "respect for the estab
lished institutions of the country, and re
gard for the interests" of the people? The
life of one honest man sacrificed, and ano
ther expelled that party spirit have free
course!
The Register takes to his party great
credit because there was, "so little speak
ing in the Commons, is this credit deser
ved? No, Messrs. Cherry, Moore, and
and. Paine, spoke whenever opportunity of
fered itself; and all who are acquainted
with Mr. Moore's talking powers will con
ceive how utterly impossible it would have
been- for him to have, occupied less than
one-tenth of the time taken up in debate
by the whole House. We were frequent
ly in the Commons, and almost invariably
had the pleasure of hearing one or the oth
er of these gentlemen. In the Senate the
same course was pursued by Messrs. Joy-
ner, Waddell, Francis, Woodhn, and Boy-
den, and upon the whole we believe that
these federal orators consumed at least ten
thousand dollars in useless and unprofita
ble discussion, while the democrats spoke
when only compelled to do so in defence
of themseves or their principles.
To be sure this Federal Legislature has
passed enough Acts and Resolutions, but
whether they will be productive of evil or
good remains to be seen. The public debt,
instead of being diminished has been in
creased; and when the time for navintr it
arrives, it will be found that high taxes di-
rectly laid on the people, will be unavoid
able. So much for the Whitf" Legisla
ture. One hundred and fifiv thousand Hnl.
lars were borrowed to meet impending lia
bilities. We suppose our opponents de
sire, as we do, to pay this debt to pay all
our debts; but here is nine thousand dol
lars added 03- way of interest to the taxes
which must be paid .hereafter. Why was
wny did not this very "labon

steady advocacy of that system of measures
which we borrow the name; and as con

positor of their principles, and the ever
ready medium "To convey their wishes to
the public. The Democratic cause, is the
cause of truth and justice. It courts the
light. It shuns no investigation. And
we are determined to see whether a paper,
conducted with a devotion to the princi
ples, rather than to ih&men, of our party
fr-to further the progress, rather than the
mere advancement of particular individu
als, will not commend itself to the confi
dence and favor of the people.
As soon as the all engrossing topics of
the elections are over we shall devote a
liberal portion of our columns to subjects of
general literature and science; endeavor

instruct, and edify. ' i

ceive particular ; attention, and a full and
comprehensive summary will be given, in
eluding the yeas and, nays upon all impor
