Our readers will find, in another colinnn,a letter
from President Tyler to the governor of Bliode Is
land, on the subject of the disturbances existing
there. It is not probable the President will ever be
called upon to interpose the federal arm in this con
troversy. Should it be the case, however, and mili-
MPv. HENRY IN MECKLENBURG.
Mr. Henry, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, was with us a few days the past week, and
addressed a very large assembly of our citizens on
Tuesday last. It is impossible for us to give even
an outline of Mr. Henry’s address. It was elo-
(juent and lucid, and his facts irrefutable. The
Federal leaders expected to hear abuse and denun
ciation, and therefore many of them attended to
gather something out of which to make jiolitical
copital. But we “ guessthey went Iiway with a
Hear in their ear.” Mr. Henry has a happy ta
lent for popular speaking, and makes no charges
which he does not on the spot prove from the re
cord. He entered the canvass with a high repu
tation as a popular orator; but v/e have met with
no candid man—either Whig or Democrat, who docs
not admit that he has more than sustained himself.
We wish every voter in the State could hear him ;
for, though in feeble health, he exposes the misdeeds
of our opponents—their broken promises—their
professhig one thing before obtaining office, and
practicing the reverse afterwards—their extrava
gance when economy was promised—their wicked
and dangerous measures, and their ruthless proscrip
tion for opinion’s sake, when they had promised
toleration—all these things he exposed in the most
glaring light, yet in such mild and dignified terms,
as to win even the altontion of his bitterest opp^^-
nents. He appeals to the reason, not the passions
of his hearers. We have heard many \yiiig&,say
his speech here on Tuesday last was the most pow
erful eflbrtlhey ever listened to. And mark it; If
Lons lA Henry does not ievolutionize this
Slate during this campaign, we are no prophet, or
the son of a prophet. The best evidence that the
good work is progressing is, that the Whig leaders
and the coiumon beiise of mankind will siiU find In
his conduct the ground of serious suspicion?^
Here Mr. Badger is the lawyer drawings up hi^
list of charges against Mr. Clay : he charges him
as being “ft vian of intriguei^—^of unbounded
ambiiion as havmg been bought up by Mr.
Adams with the promise of the office of Secrtlatf
of State to vote in violation of the instructions of
his State, and that “he voted for Mr. Adams in the
expectation of being Secretary of State, and that
this e.ipectatioii decided his vote.^' These are the
charges made by Geo. E. Badger, and are they
not giave and weighty in their character ? Upon
these issues the contest was fought in our State in
1828. Gov. Moreiiead was then an Elector on
the Jackson ticket, and brought in a verdict of guil
ty against Clay by casting the vote of the State
for Jackson. Here, then, were the two great lead
ers of the present Federal party ia North Carolina
in 1828, deliberately branding Mr. Clay with in.
trigue; of having sold himself and the vote of his
Slate for an office: and now in 1842, we find them
uro'ing the same people to vote for this same un
principled man (according to their own showing.)
for President I Was there ever such inconsistency
and daring effrontery? It should be recollected,
loo, that in 1828, the circumstances and facts atten
ding the disgraceful “bargain and sale” between
Adams and Clay were fresh in the public mind, ex
citing a burst of indignation throughout the land.
The people of North Carolina said Clay was gJiil-
ty, and Gov. Morehead responded, amen !
But this is not the only subject on w’hich Gov.
MouniEAD lias been grossly inconsistent. He has
been for and against Jackson; for and against
VanBuren; againit for Clay; against and
for a Bank; against arid for a Protective TarilT.
He told the people Clay was a corrupt, danger
ous man, and now' tells them he is almost “ perfec
tion’s self.'’ He as an Elector, voted for Jackson
and Van Buren both : and after\vards denounced
and opposed them both. He harrangued the peo
ple the Siate o\’’er in 1840, in favor of “ Tip and
Ty;” and now villifies'Tyler as a corrupt, weak
man, totally unworthy of public confidence. Aiii
the same may be said of Air. Badger.
Can such men be honest and sincere in their
profession of political principle? If they are,
what must be thought of their judgments? Cap.
their counsels be trusted, when they themselves pro
fess one thing to-day and another to-morrow: when
they change their opinions on great political ques
tions and of prominent politicians with thje facility
the chamelion changes its color? W’’e fancy we

THE CHARGE AND THE VERDICT.-GOV.
MORKHEAU AND MR. BADGER. ^
Wh en we review the course of the prominent lea
ders of the Federal parly m this State, we are forc
ed to exclaim—“Oh, Consistency! thou art indeed
a jewel !” |n reference to all the prominent men
of the nation, and all the great political questions
that have agitated the public mind for the last twen
ty year.?, they have been anything, every thing, and
nothing long. They are now engaged in an at
tempt to persuade the peopre of North Carolina,
that they should make Air. Clay President, not-
wiih.ctanding they are the very men who did more
than all others to damn the fame of this ill-starred
politician by fasteningon him the charge ofbribe
ry and corruption ” in the election of Air. Adams
in 1824. Air. Badger, at the late \Vhig Conven
tion, drew’ up the Report and Resolutions nomi
nating Air. Clay for President, and Gov. AIore-
HEAD lor re-election. Of course, then. Air. B. and
Gov. Al. are both ?to?v committed to the support of
Air. Clay. But wdiat did these same men say of
this same Air. Clay in 1828 ? Air. Badger, at
that time a Jackson man and professed Democrat,
drew up an address in behalf of the Jackson parly
to the people of North Carolina. In this address
he said :
“Air. Clay of Kentucky was one t'f the fom- Can
didates for rresident, (in 1824) but having the least
number of electoral votes, was excluded from the
House. The State from w’hich he came had instruct
ed her members in the event which happened, to
support Gen. Jackson, but under the infiuence of Mr.
Clay, a yiaii of intrigue, (mark that!) and of elo
quence, and of unbounded ambition, (mark that!)
and talents q,bove mediocrity, Iheae members, with
those of other Western Stales, voted for Air. Adams,
and his election was the result.
“Immediately after his election. Air. Adams ap
pointed Air. Clay Secretary of State—in power and
influence the second in our Government, and gener
ally thou^hi lo be an introduction lo the first. Be
tween these two gentlemen, there had been previ
ously neither confidence or affection, and Mr. Clay
had publicly e.vpressed, in language not to be misun
derstood^ his disbelief in Mr. Adctms^ political inte
grity and patriotism 1 (Mark that, my countrymen 1)
How, then, arc we to account for Mr. Clay’s support
ot Mr. Adams, in opposition to the declared wishes
of Kentucky ?
“ Take these facts, (says this address) and answer
for yourselves, whether it be harsh or uncharitable
to conclude that he voted for Mr. Adams in the ex
pectation of being Secretary of State, ar^ that this
expectation decided his vote. Let the friends ol
Mr. Clay protest against this conclusion with what
ever earnestness they may press into the service.
