McClanaham, John Ziegenff ' ESq. Mr. William Roberts, Jr., and jVj John s"! Eaton, who retired, and in a time repor ted the following through the;;r chairman, Maj. J. S. Eaton, which, after' mature considera tion and deliberation, tv'-re severally unani mously adopted: Whereas, In a government like ours, founded on the irrirnutable principles of Rep resentative Democracy, and iu high party ex citement like the present, it is the privilege, hs well as the duty, of the citizens frequently to meet together ajid calmly consult and fear lessly adopt sur.n measures as will conduce to the public good and the general welfare and happiness of the country: Beit therefore Resolved, That we have full aud entire confidence in the patriotism, sterling integri ty, public aud private virtue, and" intelligence of Martin Van Buren, our present Chief Magistrate of the Union, "generally, and in particular in his opposition to a United States. Bank, and hostility to Abolitionism. Resolved, That, believing him to be a "Northern man with Southern feelings and principles," he is entitled to our undiminish ed support and suffrage for the next Presiden tial term, and that, as in duty bouud, we will use all honorable and lawful means to promote and secure his triumphant re-election.

(and particularly of the non-slaveholding States) as our political brethren, for the noble rally made around the banner of the Constitu tion of our common country, in favor of the South and her institutions, against the com bined efforts of misguided philanthropists, and the heated and infuriated zeal of fanatical Abolitionists and that with such coadjutors we feel confident that the "Golden Age" of our Republic will soon be restored, and harmony prevail throughout our land, and that our "Union shall and will be preserved." Resolved, That the glaring inconsisten cies of the self-styled whig party of N. Caro lina is in perfect accordance with the habits and practices of the old Federalists, in pro fessing one tiling and practising another, as in the famous Rayner resolutions of last ses sion of our Legislature, where our Senators in Congress are severely denounced and censured as carrying out "party servility" in voting for the "expunging resolutions" in the Senate of the United States, when the same party in the recent Whig Convention recom mend Nathaniel P. Talhnadge, of Now York, and pledge their support to his nomination for the second office in the gift of the people nt these United States, who not ouly voted for, hut was one of the strongest advocates for said resolutions, aud who has given no evidence that he recanted said vote.

Joshua Foy was called to the Chair, and John' A. Averitt was appointed Secretary. Joshua Foy, as Chairman of the Committee, offered the follow! nrr Prpnmhlo and Resolutions, which were uuanimously aaoptea: Whereas, it is our happy privilege as a por tion of the free people of this Union, to as semble together for the purpose of deliberating on the general couditiou and political aspect of our common country: and whereas our happy system of government was intended for the general good and lasting benefit of all its citizens: and whereas we hold it to be a duty paramount to every other consideration, that an inose wno are desirous ot nreservinf. ir. their original simplicity and purity, the free institutions under which we live, and of per petuating the same unimpaired to future gene rations, should, at all and every hazard, take a firm, a bold, and independent stand in de fence of those measures and those principles :vhich have upheld aud still uphold the rights me uuerues, ana nappincss otthe people. s Resolved, That we view the separation of the ruonetary affairs of the General Govern ment frC" all connexion with the Banking Institution of the country, as one of the es sential means of preserving our representa tive form of go vernment, and as perfectly consonant with the , -Democratic Republican doctrines of the JeffeiiSonian school. Resolved, That the tea.-h.'ngs of experience admonish us that the establu;hi?ient of a Na tional Bank is dangerous to or free institu tions, because it is susceptible 01'. becoming a political machine in the hands of ambitious men, and of influencing not only the elective franchise, but of causing those to swerve from their duty who are entrusted with the dclegdt- eu power 01 ine people. Resolved, That we behold in Martin Van B uren the friend of the rights of men, the pa triot devoted to the best interest of his coun try, and the statesman whose intelligence, firmness, and wisdom eminently qualify him for the high and honorable station which he now holds; aud that as a Northern Man with Southern Principles, the uncompromising op ponent of all fanatical schemes of abolition ists, and an enemy to exclusive privileges and aristocratic orders, he is entitled to our continued support and undiminished confi dence. Resolved, That while we express our senti ments i.i favor of James K. Polk, of Ten- ln nessee, as a suitable candidate for the Vice Presidency, we will cheerfully join our Dem ocratic brethren of the Union in elevating any other of the long tried and faithful friends of the people, who may be considered most like ly to unite a general support. Resolved, That the candid, honest and patriotic course pursued by our Senators iu Congress, Bedford Brown and Rob't. Strange, in regard to the Rayner Resolutions of the last Assembly, entitle them to our warmest thanks and the approbation of the people of North Carolina.

Not very lonj since, Thaddeus Stevens was at a tavern in Lancaster County, and got into conversation with a gentleman on the subject of the com ing nomination for President. The gentle man observed, that in all probability Mr. TftaddeuS rephVrt that he" thought - nm,vnit if he were, he would be d a tie would not support Mr. Van Buren, anil railed out a liirious tirade norainct Mr r'l-r ...,.1 i.:.. , - J. tends, tree masonry, fete. In the course of tlie conversation, it was suggested, tint if UeneriJ Harrison was nominated, it was very probable the Whirrs would tie rpsilv-. for a time, but would ultimately be tchipped into the ranks to support him. "Ye?, d n them," said Thaddeus. "thev are a vhinna ble article, that is true, aud curse Ihem, they make such a devil of a noise nd jawing be forehand, that thev d o mnrp in iiirv f im t I titr can afterwards make up for by their votes when they are ivhtppers tn. This was said openly and publicly, and in hearing of persons who were no parties to the Convention. Gen. Harrison is now nominated and the result will show how "whippable" the Wings are. 0 It is generally understood amonrr tht- an ti-masons at Harrisburg, that in the event of vxen. Harrisons election, (rather a forlorn hope by the way,) that Charles Biddle Pen rose, Esq. usually denominated the flying phenomenon, is to be Secretary of War. Dame Rumor also says, that Thaddeus Stevens, Esq. is to be the General's Ambas sador 1o Turkey, as he wishes to he well re presented near the Seraglio. Spirit of the Times. sence of so much virtue is particularly desi rable? The inferior article is preferred. Delightful recompense for so many years of anxiety and party labor! Mr. Clay must certainly feel quite overwhelmed with the ob ligations thu3 conferred upon him. He has got "the discharge" to which he playfully but ironically alluded during his summer campaign of speech-making, and if he can find a recompense for hi3 labors and his final condemnation for unseaworthiness, in empty puffs, why he is truly blest in a meek and forgiving spirit. Pennsylvanian. Parliamentary Rule. A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce sives a lucid ac county of the mode of settling contested elec tions in Great Britain, which concludes with the following remark: "It is also to be observed that, by a stand ing rule, all members returned upon double returns withdraw from the House until the return be determined; and the double returns are acted upon first." If we had these rules, there could be no difficulty about the Jersey case, or the Naylor and Ingersoll case. "The returns being conflicting, neither party could si; or vote till the committee had reported its decision; and there would be perfect confi dence In the impartiality of the decision." It is the rule of common sense and com mon honesty, that parties interested should take no part in the decision of their own case; and yet, against all right, rule, and decency, we hnd the contraband New Jersey members insisting on thrusting themselves into a posi tion to influence the decision.- Globe. Federal Tactics.-The policy of the Fed eral members of Congress, in rerrard to the admittance to seats of members from New Jersey, has been to keep the people in the dark. 1 hey have tried every way to pre vent all evidence being presented before the House, and the Federal papers are support ing them in it, else why do they not publish the documents read by Dr. Duncan? No! no! This will not answer for them. They know that this is the ''poisoned chalice that will return to their own lips." The beauti ful lines of Bryant are applicable here: "Truih t'ri-hed to earlh shall ris-j ajain, Tin: eternal .years of Gud are liei's; Biit error, wound d, wnth s in pain, And dies amidst iicr worshiprni!"

Kin wnn tue slang phraseology of the streets; but still there are circumstances un der which they present themselves so forci bly that they are thought whether they are said or not. Who, for instanoc, has noticed the manner in which Henry Clay has been spoken of by the federal press since the nom ination of Harrison, without being reminded that "fair words butter no parsnips," and the illustrious Kentuckian himself, as he peers from the 3helfon which he has so unceremo niously been placed, must, if he has any the spirit of "Sancho the nroverbialiat" him, think that the wise law to which we have alluded, was expressly made for his in dividual case. "Dear Mr. Clay, sweet Mr. Clay, noble, disinterested, self-sacrificing Mr. Clay," say the journalists the union never had a patriot uniting so many admirable and glorious qualities. He is evprvil.r. r.or citizen and a statesman should be ashinincr candle in this "naughty world." One na turally expects a fitlinrjr climax 1 O tli!a fri'n- eral chorus of adulation something that sha.'I appropriately crown the pillar of praise. But we look for it in vain. The shaft is abruptly truncated after applying all sorts of condiments and spicy dressing to the po litical cucumber, it is tossed away at once and forever. Tjie force of pathos can no further go. What, when the whole party acknowledge Mr. Clay's manifold virtues when they confess his extraordinary fitness for the Presidency when every opposition ist concedes that he the formost man of all this world can there be found nothing else to do with such a paragon of excellence, but to shew him the door of everlasting retire ment, and significantly intimate tbaT the ab- Fi-om the Baltimore Post. The Caucus at Harrisburg. The friends of Henry Clay, those not inti mated into the mysteries of policy, and the chicanery of designing and artful partisans those who, with unsophisticated honesty, re posed implicit confidence iu the majority of numbers have been most wofully deceived by the nomination at Harrisburg. Scarcely ever have we witnessed such sincere regrets, attended with such bitter revilings, as is man ifested by the Whigs of the city; they feel 'that they have been sat upon in judgment, by a tribunal which has disregarded the integrity tiieiif &yk i-jm, atnlvhiith has had the au tenco hostile to the evidii'certnce3,""'tjirid doom them to a fate ou which they look aud snuauer wnn a repugnance they have no de sire to conceal. We are disposed to throw a little lijrht 011 this subject, observing that the particulars are avoided t? the press ot the Opposition. A we have before stated, Mr. Clay had beyond all doubt a clear majority of individual ad hercnts in the convention, and aware of this fact, when the Harrison men proposed th committee of three from each delegation, Reverdy Johnson promptly objected, and urged an immediate vote in open convention per capita. By such a vote, however, it was too evident that Mr. Clay would beat the field, as soon as the first ballot should exhibit sufficient cause to drop Scott. During the pending question, and the ob vious difficulty of effecting a unity of feeling, the Harrisouites caucussed, and fonud that they could get New York, New Hampshire, and iUicnigan, trom &cott, by the delegation committee scheme, which was, therefore, urged again, a;:d made palatable by a proposi tion that the nomination should be informal until the definite action of the Convention l I 1 -1 1 ? rn biiouiu sancuon tne ut-cision. ji nis pinn was at length adopted, and the result was, af ter many ballotings, a clear majority for Har rison. Ihe form of proceeding appears to have been an appointment of three from each State delegation, the majority of the three to be supposed to carry the constitutional, elec toral vote of the State; thus completely disar ranging the customary and only ostensibly honest plan to be pursued. The result of this balloting gave to HARRISON.

Thus, in the absence of such a system as should char acterize such an assembly, stratagem triumph ed, and the friends of Mr. Clay chap fallen, discomfitted and out-generalled returned to their homes to give the best account they could of themselves and their acts, to their constituents. So ends the chapter. From tke A. Y. Journal of Vemmrrce. Impartial Whig views as to tile STew Jersey Case. Difficulty was apprehended from this Jer sey case, as the columns of ever newspaper will attest, not on account of the prevalence of any revolutionary spirit, but of a strong pre dilection on the part of the public, to carry out the popular will, as fairly expressed, in opposition to mere verbal and legal technica lities. It is in the nature of our institutions, founded as they are on free and almost uni versal suffrage, to facilitate instead of thwart ing the expression of the public will; and we must change our institutions, radically change them, before we can venture, upon any legal artifice, to set aside an election, by the for malities of seals and commissions. It could not be doue in England even in the times of James I. when prerogatives was a good deal less limited than now, and when it was often brought to bear upon election returns and par liamentary privileges. So far as the clerks roll in our Congress is concerned, it is gene rally made up from newspaper reports very few members ever bringing with them their certificates. The Clerk's list is nothing, therefore, but the evidence that an election is a matter of public notoriety. If a certificate be produced, it is ouly prima facie evidence of a title to a seat; for, after all, the House is to judge of the returns and elections of its members. But this prima facie evidence is good until it is disputed, and no longer. In the Jersey case, one set of the members were certified by the Secretary of State aud the judges of the election, as having been duly elected; and, in addition to this, they had iu their favor public notoriety the common con sent that they were elected. The other set brought a commission from the Governor, but this same Governor, in a message to the Legislature had acknowledged that his certifi cate was of no avail; and that the returns will be judged of by Congress, who would not suf fer the electors or the elected to be deprived of their rights. Now it could hardly be expect ed of any Clerk to undertake to put on his list either of these claiming parties; but if compell ed to judge between them, he must, according to the principle on which his roll is made out. put down the party that was backed by the common consent to his election. To sup pose that Congress would be governed alto gether by a mere technicality in their decision would be absurd, especially when it is made their duty, by the Constitution, to go into the merits of the return and of the election. But it is said that the ceitifieil members could be superseded, in duo course of proceedings, to wards the end of the Congress, after having elected a speaker and participated iu legisla liUlo.uluL0one a" ta;lt was expected of them seal." Very true; and this would answer every purpose, if we could only get Congress and the people of New Jersey, and the public generally, to assent to it. But it is hard, and I hope always will be, to get Congress to set their face against the positive and well known sense of the public; and equally hard to sub stitute, in the estimation of the people, a Gov ernor's certificate for a free election. An error has generally prevailed that the House could not decide upon an election re turn prior to the election of a Speaker. It is perfectly within its power to decide upon any question touching itself and its privileges, as soon as a quorum is obtained, though it can not communicate with the other branch of Congress without a Speaker. Tlie "I'liion and Harmony" of tlie PieSjalil 0:jMsilioii It will doubtless, from this time forward, constitute a paramount purpose of the Harris on faction to represent the nomination of "Old Tippecanoe" as the unanimous choice of the Federal National Convention. Those who attended the deliberations of that body on the last day of its session, and heard the clos ing addresses of its members, will, however, kuow what value to place upon these repre sentations. For the sake of a contest, we could have wished, and did wish, that She nominee of that Convention, be he whom he might, would unite all the elements of the Op position, as without it the re-election of the present incumbent will be more a matter of form, than the result of a struggle. There, was, however, neither cordiality or unanimity in yielding acquiescence to the nomination of Harrison. One of the North Carolina delegation, (whose name we do not now re member,) on the eve of adjournment, arose, and stated frankly that he could promise the nomination nothing more than a reasonable support" that, under no circumstances, could Harrison receive the vote of old Rip, and the labor of the Whigs there would be worse than idle; yet he felt disposed to make the most of an evil, and would for himself, individually, promise the nominee his vote, but beyond that he could give no gratifying assurance whatever. One of the Kentucky delegation, Gen. Combe, described her as in a bruised and broken condition an irreparable wound had been inflicted upon her, which neither time nor change of circumstances could heal. He also intimated, that even that Commonwealth, overshadowed as she has been by the influ ence of Whigery, might no longer be found enlisted under her torn and tattered banner; and to cap the climax of the whole, even the "Spy 111 Washington." "Ji chiel amain them laan notes. could not refrain from declaring, iu the pres ence of numerous bystanders, "this nomina tion secures Van Burn the vote of the Empire State by 15,000 majority." Such were the opinions, privately, as well as openly expressed, by the leaders of the great National Convention, not alone before, but AFTER the nominations had been con cluded. Take them at their own word, no event yet to happen, which is subject to the controlling dispensations of a higher power, 13 tanner removed beyond the pale ot uncer tainty and doubt, that the re-election of MAR TIN VAN BUREN to the Presidency.
