A Steam Boat Line has been formed in connec tion witii die new Steam Boat “Utility,” and a set of new Boats at present three in number, others will be added as the business may require. The Utility wa« built in Wilmington in 1841, and drajivs when ompty but 19 inches water. She carries 500 Bales of Cotton and draws then but little over three feet. Country merchants who may wish to get their Goods up in the Summer and early in the P'all when the River is generally low, will find it to their advantage to patronize this. Several forwarding Merchama and other residents of Cheravv and oth er places are interested, and feel confident that they can hold out such inducements to the back country as will be beneficial to all concerned. The busi ness will be done principally by towing lighters which will insure a passage while there is two feel water in tbc channel. B. BR\ AN & BRO,, Agents.

June 6, m2, PREAAMBLE and RESOLUTIONS adop ted by the Democratic Republican Convention held in Salisbury, on the 20th May, 1842. Whereas, the Government of the United States was established by the patriots of the Revolution on the principles of justice and equality to every free American citizen, and to all parts of the Con federacy ; —therefore. Resolved, That any attempt of Congress to con fer, by legislation, on any citizen, or class of citi zens, or ori any particular section of country, e.r- r.lu.'iive privileges, is not only contrary to the Con stitution, but is subversive oi the very end of free Government Resolved, That the repeated attempts of the Whig party at the Extra Session of Congress to ctiarter a United States Bank—conferring on cer tain individuals the ezqlusive custody of the public money, with the exclusive right to discount, and loan it out for their own private benefit, and the ex- and the exclusive right to make a paper currency receivable in all dues to the Government, are wholly incompatible with the principles of the Constitution, and dangerous to the right, and liber ties of the people. Resolved, That we view with the deepest con cern the introduction into Congress by the Whig party of a new Tariff Billa measure which most grossly violates tho Coirq,romise act cf 1833. and which doubles the ta.xes on the people,—and brings back on the country the protective policy of 1824, and 28, in all its forms of “abomination.” W hile we admit the pow’er of Congress to lay and collect duties for revenue, and will never murmur at a fair, and just exercise of this power, ^e deny that the W'hig majority in the National Legislature has any right whatever to impose a Tariff for pro tection;—We deny that they have any right to tax the farmers and laborers of the country to swell the profits of the manufacturers. We hold that all such partial legislation is unconstitutional, and that it is unequal and unjust in its operations on the peo ple every where, and more especially on the peo ple of the Southern States. We, therefore, call on the farmers and laboring classes generally, with out regard to party distinctions heretofore existin" to unite with us at the polls to arre.st the threaten ing evil before it comes too late,—an evil which not only takes the hard earnings of the people, “to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer,” but will bring dissensions, and may bring troubles and civil war on the country. Resolved, That we consider the act passed by tfie Whig majority at the late Extra Session of Congress for dividing out, and giving away the money arising from the sales of the public’lands amounting to at least three millions of dollars an- of the Constitution, but as an act of party reckless ness unexampled in the annals of American legis lation.—the more so, since the money intended to be divided is not only not taken from a full Treas ury.—but from a Treasury known to be empty, and since it gives a pretext to the party in power i to increase the burthens on the people. Resolved, That this Convention cannot in jus tice to its principles withhold an expression of its unqualified Gondemnation of the Bankrupt law passed by the Whig majority at the Extra Session of Congress,—a law which violates all the obliga tions of contract between Debtor and Creditor, and which is fraught with the most demoralizing conse quences to the community. We pledge ourselves never to cease our opposition to it, until the odious act shall be repealed, and expunged from the Stat ute Books of the country. Resolved, That this Convention looks on the Banking system as now existin as one of the principa' and hard times so genera we do hereby most solemnly pledge ourselves nev er to cease our opposition to it nntil we shall, by such constitutional and legal means as may be with in our power, expel it altogether from the country, or so thoroughly reform it, as that it will no longer be dangerous to the righli and liberties of the peo ple. And Whereas. This Convention believes that the Constitution )f the United States is the mo.st perfect instrumen'. cf fundamental law ever framed by human sagacity.—the offspring of profound wisdom, and devoied patriotism; and believing that the integrity of the Union, and the continuance of American Liberty greatly depend on preserving that Constitution pure, aid undefiled, as it came from the hands of Washington, and his co-pattiots;: —therefore, Resolvid, That we deirecate in the most unqtia- lificd manner the attcmpn now making by the Fe deral Whig leaders, with Henry Clay at their head —to abolish a most vital part of the Constitution,— thereby to change the character of our Government, and destroy one of oirr greatest safeguards against unwise and unconstitutiinal legislation. In the name of the Democratic )arty of North Carolina, we warn these reckless jartizans not to touch this sacred legacy of our foi'ffathers. Resolved, That this Convention believes that in stead of imposing new axes on the people as the Whigs in Congress ae now doing, in order to raise large sums to meet ixtravagant appropriations, the true policy of the G*vernment is, for Congress forthwith to repeal the a;t for distributing the pro ceeds of the Public Lanis;—and at once, to bring down the expenditures of the Government to its or dinary income, thereby to do away the necessity and remove the pretext for borrowing money on usurious terms,—-and fo' imposing additional bur thens on the counlr^^ The foregoing' Resdutions were unanimously adopted by the c”onventi)n and ordered to be pub lished.

The Democrats are for preserving the Con stitution pure, and undefiled as it came from the hands of Washington, and the other great men who framed it. Tho Whigs passed a law at the Extra Session to distribute and give away the proceeeds of the Pub lic Lands. The Democrats are opposed to this, be cause they believe Congress has no constitutional right to do it, and because if the proceeds of the lands ore given away, the vacancy must bo suppli ed by ta.xes on the people.

It was not howev’cr until during the administration of the Elder Adams, that they arrayed th«mselves un der distinctive names. All who advocated the Ad- mistration of Mr. Adams, and supported his measu res, such as the Alien and Sedition law—the find ing system fact :—who have encouraged the Banks in their lawless course for the past five years—and who have been striving to bring them to a sense of their duty ! The Legislature in every State in the Un ion where the Democrats have had the majority, has passed laws compelling the Banks to resume National Bank, &.c.,—took the name specie payments, and comply with their obligations, miu I while this has not been done by asingle Legislature mocrats.

The Pctple, ev of the coimtry is owing mainly to the prevalence of Whig policy in the councils of the General, and State 6?overuments. If we show this, then il must necessarily follow that general prosperity can never be restored to the country until a change of measure shall take place, and this cannot be done until the men in power are changed—turned out, and others put in. That the people may not be deceived in the great contest before us, and may fully understand the principles at stake, we will proceed to state the great is.suks now pending between the two parties —the Whigs and the Democrats:—and further, to show that Whig policy is the cause of all the dis tress now oppressing the country. THE ISSUES, OR POINTS IN DISPUTE BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES. The Whigs are in favor of a “ National Bank,” and of the Banking system as it now exists in the country ; while the Democrats arc opposed alike to a National Bank, and to the Banking system as now practised in the United States- The Whigs are in favor of a Pr that is,—they are in favor of es of the people for the purpose manufactures to sell their fabricks at a greater pro fit. The Democrats are opposed to all si;ch 'J’ar- iffs, and contend that it is unjust to tax the people for any other purpose than to support the Govern ment in a frugal and economical manner The Whigs are in favor of increasing the expen ditures of the Government, so as to consume the re* venues le be brought in by a high Protective T.ar- iff;—>vhile, the Democrats are for bring down the expenditures to a low standard of taxation. ‘ The Whigs are in favor of creating a large Na tional Debt,—it having been a maxim of their pre decessors of the old Federal party, that a National Debt is a national blessing;—the Democrats are now, and always have been opposed to National debts, except in times of war, when there may be a necessity for themthey believe that a National ; Debt is a national evil, always leading to high ta.x- es, anti heavy burthens on the people. be objected to this, that the Bankers’ do not realize tweniy-one per cent,—-that they do not put that much into their pockets. This may be so, but it, does not alter the case. It matters not who puts the money into their pockets-'--whether Stockholders Directors, or Cashiers—-it is enoagh to know that it comes out of the pockets of the people. Another advantage that the banker has over the farmer is this : if the Bank holds the farmer’s note, all the farmer’s property is bound for the debt; but when the farmer holds the note of the Bank, no part of tlie stockholder’s property is bound for ithe may be rich, and the Bank insolvent. There arc many instances where Banks have failed, and the peopel have lost thousands by them, while the stock* holders with plenty of money, and abundance of property were not liable for a cent of the Bank debts. We have a striking example of this in the United State Bank. That corrupt institution has failed for millions;---many poor widows and orphans have lost their all by it; and are now reduced to wretch edness and want, while Nicholas B'ddlo nnd hi luxury tho ancG by which the few who do not work, manage to convert to their own use the profits of the labor of those who do v;ork. Is this equal o'ights% The Whigs saj', that we cannot get on without Banks. How did our forefathers do without them ? They fought through the revolutionary war,— they drove the British from the country, and achieved their Independence,—all, without the help of a sin gle Bank. The first Bank ever established in the country was the Bank of North America^ in Phila delphia, which went into operation in the year 17- 82, with a capital of only about 8300,000. This Bank, like all its successors, soon made itself to be felt in the community where it did business.
