DEMOCRATIC MEETING RICHMOND. In pursuance of public notice, a . meeting of tho Democratic - republican party of the county of Richmond, was held iu the Court House on. Tuesday the 19ih of April, 1842. On imtfion of Wirt. 15. Cole, the meeting was organized by calling to the chair W in. P. Smith, Esq. Athe request of the . Chair, V F. Leak explained the object of the meet ing. On motion, ihe Chairman appointed Wm. B. Cole, Jno. C. Coviugton, and W. F. Leak, n committee to draft aud repoit resolutions; who after retiring a short time, returned and reported the following, which were sustained nnu enforced by W. V; Leak and VV. R. Cole, in animated speeches, aud unanimously adopted: lt. Resolved, . That our . National Gov rrummt in onel of cleat lv defined, aiid strictly limited rmor, -bnf hy ' are derived" solely from the Federal '''Constitution, that as a coroLt ry from this proposition, that Congress' cati not exeicisn any power not deducible IVoMi this inst i ument, eiiher by express word.- or by it resistible implication. d. Resolved, Thisl among the powers roni'ei red .'ly the Federal giant, there is none th-it u ill uulhorizu Congress to commence and carry on, a g -neral system of Internal Improvements, still less is there any which will authorize that body, in. imposing a Tariff of protect ion, which while it fosters one bianth of domestic iudustry, impovorish.es another. 3d. Resolved, therefore, That in holding these sentiments, we cannot be guilty of the gross inconsistency of supporting Henry Clay for President of ihe United States ; who, we afliimj has. on all occasions asserted the right to' be in. Congress to exercise them. We further assert, and we challenge contra diction from any opponent who has character enough to gain belief for the truth, that such has beeu-iVlr 'Clay's zeal, both in the advo cacy fa protective Tariff, and work of In ternal Improvement, by the General Govern ment, that he has been styled ilThe Father" .of- that system a system' which he has'iu sultiugly called "the American system." Wo say that lie has advocated on the floor of Cougres., the laying a duty on hemp, with the avowetl and so expressed object, of rais ing the price of cotton bagging and rope, and that he gave no other reason for such a mon strous proposition, than that -Kentucky could not make them, and come into successful competition, with Dundee bagging, in the South, without such protection. 4th. Resolved, That we cannot discover, (aud we ask to be informed) what greater claims has Mr Clay, upon the Cotton growers of Richmond county, than he had in i",-6- , -, ie4, ..-I.; Jti rtnirr trcdid not ejet 50 votes-in the county. 5lh. Resolved, whereas, as a patty, we have been much misrepresented, by our politi cal opponents, (whether wantonly or not we leave to their consciences to say) who not be ing satisfied in withholding their own senti ments "fiord tho public eye" have again and again, imputed to the Democratic Republi can patty, sentiments which as a body they have abviiys repudiated. Gth. Resolved, therefore, That although in the main (hoy deny the constitutionality of a National Rank, yet they are not opposed to the Ranking institutions of the country,, such ; but arc opposed to "the abuses which have grown out of them, in flooding the coun try with an irredeemable paper currency, not convertible into specie ut the will of the hold er ; and while on the one h-md no men could go fuithcr, in sustaining specie paying Ranks in the legal exercise of all their corporated rights ; yet on the other, none would be more ready, in producing that state of things, which should say to them iu language not to be mis understood, fhat sound institutions (who per form their contracts) shall be sustained, but that non-specie paying Ranks must go dotcn. 7th. Resolved, That the Ranks of North Carolina, have already continued too long, in a state of suspension, that such a condition ot things not only directly tends to the in crease of the rate of exchange, which ultimate ly has t be paid by the Farmer and the Me chanic but it doubly subjects the holders of its notes to the liability of ultimate losses that they are as much bound to pay their debts, as the Fanner or the Mechanic, and that such continued suspension on their part, is both politically and morally wrong. Sin. Resolved, That no Rank in future should be chaiiered, unless the stockholders are made liable for every note they issue, and also hound to redeem them in specie on pre sentation. This liability attaching to the stockholders, is in our opinion, the only cor rective to those ruinous expansions and con tractions, which have already been productive of so much mischief to the country. 9th. Resolved, That we disapprove of the measures adopted by the Whig patty, at the extra session of Congress, that to distribute the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, at the time of a Bankrupt Treasury is any thing but wise. That we also condemn in the most unqualified terms the Bankrupt law. We are of the 'opinion that creditors have rights as tvtdl as debtors, that the law should hiive been perspective in its operation, not impairing nny contract, which existed at the time of iu enactment. 10th. Resolved, That we have confidence in the ability, the patriotism and the political orthodoxy of Louis D. IL nry, and will use all fair and honorable means, to elevate him to the Gubernatorial chair.

The banner of Henry Clay has been first unfolded by the North Carolina Whigs, they have taken the lead of all the federalists in their support of this Uank, Tariff, Internal Im provement, Distribution and National Debt politician. Under these circumstances no Democrat in North Caiolina should be supine and inactive. 11'arrenton Reporter. to at- IN DUPfalN. . At-a meeting of am poriionof the Democrat ic citizens of Duplin county, held at the Court House, in Kenai sville gii the 19th inst., David Southeiland, Esq.t gas called to the Chair, ' Dr. N. W Her ing "Wild James Dick son were appointed Secretaries. On motion of Mr James Jerman, the fol lowing preamble and resolutions were intro duced, and after being ably commented upon by Mr D. K. McRae, were unanimously adopted.. Whereas freedom" of thought and liberty of opitiiou- are rights inherent in a Republicau (iovermjjent, and whtereas we Gelieve lhat the; fiequeut exercise of them? by a public and candid expression of sentiments is salutary ana highly beneficial to our present form of Government, and whereas we are aud ever have been and always will be utterly opposed to the non-committal policy of the Whig party in the late Presidential campaign opposed J to their plan of making no declaration of principles for the pubiic eye. Therefore, Resolved, That the triumj h of the Whig Federal party iu the last Presiden tial election a paity composed of the. most incongruous aud inharmonious materials which was only bound together for the time being by the strong cohesion of a common hate towards the Democratic administration, and actuated by a blind and unreasonable animosity against Republican principles, has been very dileterious to the interest pf our country. Resolved, That the mode which that party adopted to get into power was disreputable in itself disrespectful to the people and the estab lishment of a baneful precedent in our politi cal history. Resolved, That the various accusations of extreme extravagance agiinst the past ad ministration were unfounded in fact, and that the Federal party so far from redeeming its pledges so lavishly made in the heat df contest has forgotten them in the hour of suc cess and has largely increased the Demo cratic estimate for an economical administra tion of the Government. Resolved, That we have the utmost confi dence in Louis D. Henry, Esq., our candi date for Governor, that we believe him to be an able zealous and indefatigable supporter of true Republican doctrines and that we will cordially tender to him our best sup port. Resolved That we regard the vulgar tirade or one pon eates, and the Ridiculous mummery set forth by another to disparage two of North Carolina's ablest, most worthy sons as evidences of low weak mean disingenerous and grovelling minds and deserviug the scorn aud con tempt of honorable men. Resolved, That delegates be appointed to represent this county in the Democratic Con vention to assemble in Salisbury on the 2Cth of May next. The following gentlemcu were appointed delegates to the Salisbury Convention, Col. J. E. Husscy, Col. J. Ki Hill, Jas. H. Jarman, Dr. J. G. Dickson, Jas. Pcarsall, C. Mc Millan, Atlas J. Grady, John S. Hill, S. Williams. Dr. Needham W. Herring, John Farrior, Hampton Sullivan, Tsuac R. Kelly, James P. Davis, Wm. B. Wells, Johu D. Love, and Dr. Graham.

Pursuant to previous notice a portion of the Democratic Republican citizens of the coun ty of Montgomeiy, held a Meeting at the Court House in Lawreuceville, on Wednesday, the 20th April, 1842, on motion of James L. Gaines, Esq , the meeting was organized by calling to the Chair Edward McCallum, Esq. and appointing Col. David R. Cochran, Sec retary. The object of the meeting having been explained by the Chairman, on motion of F. Martin, Ksq., the Chairman was request ed to appoint a Committee to draw up a pre amble and resolutions expressive of the views a id sentiments of the meeting. Whereupon the chairman appointed the following gentle men to constitute said Committee, viz : F. Martin, Mastin K. Baldwin, Randal McDon ald, James R. Clark, aud James L. Gaines, who having retiied to perform the duties as signed them, returned in due time and report ed the following preamble and resolutions, which were made seperately and unanimous ly adopted. Wltereas, It has been proposed by the members of the late Democratic Republican Convention assembled for the purpose of nom inating a candidate for the office of Governor of this State, that an adjourned meeting of said Convention be held in Salisbury ou the 20th of May next: And whereas, we fully concur with our Democratic friends as to the adjourned Con vention to assemble in Salisbury at the time before specified, and that we will appoint del egates thereto. Resolved, Therefore, That we highly ap prove of the nomination of said Couvention, of our esteemed and distinguished fellow cit izen, Louis D. Henry, Ksq., of Fayetteville, as the Democratic candidate for the office of Chief Magistrate of North Carolina, and we do hereby pledge ourselves to give him an un divided and cordial support, and will use all proper and honorable means to secure his election. Resoltedj That we are desirous to co-op' From the Nortli Carolina Standard He who lives in a Glass House must not throw stones. i In a communication in the Mr Loring Register, over the signature of " One of ihe People,"" ihe writer has brought it forward as a great charge that " Mr Henry received the sum of S553U4 31 for his services iu Washington-city, as Commissioner to settle the claims under the Sp aniso. Irsaiv. Ihe writer of that communication, Vi.umo1 says, is a Lavryer, who has assumed the siature v- r " 1 doubt, that his statements will, on that acrouiH, be received with more credit. Now we had sup posed that a Lawyer was the last of the people who should complain of his brother Lawyer receiving high fees; and if the writer be the person whom rumor has designated, if he did not receive five thousand dollars for his ser vices, it is because the paltry offices which he has filled, did not entitle him to it. One thing is very certain He has been willing to take every office agoing, and to take all the fees he could get, be they great or small. And does not the wiiter know that the duties of the Commission which Mr Henry held, re quired that he should adjourn his meetings from time to time, to enable the claimants to prepare their cases and collect the testimony; all of which were in writing? And that du ring the recess, it was necessary for tne Com missioner to prepare himsolf on the points of admirably . and maritime law, and decisions on policies of insurance, so as to enable him to pass understanding on the various mat ters that necessarily arose on the claims sub mitted to his decision ? That these things were to be done in his own office or in the public Library, and not while the Board was in session t That it was important for a Commissioner thus to prepare himself, as it is for a Judge or a Lawyer to examine and pre pare a case which he has to argue or decide ? How pitiful and uncandid it is, for one who is a Lawyer, thus to attempt to decive the pub lic, by taking the number of days Mr Henry was absolutely sitting as Commissioner, aud in this way estimate the time, and value of his services. Rut does not the writer know that the Act of Congress fixed the salary of the Commis sioner, and this before Mr Henry's appoint ment; and for this law many whigs in Congress voted, aud the very man, no doubt. wlH&4ja furnished "One of the People," with the ma terials out of which this wanton charge has been manufactured? If the salary was too high, Cougressaud not Mr Henry is respon sible for it. He did what any.odier man would have done, who discharged the duties of Commissioner he received the salary fixed by law, according to the time which the busi ness of the Commission required. Had it been a whig and not & democratic, you would have heard nothing about the matter. Then all would have been right. Do we not hear the whigs complaining that Mr Tyler will not give them office; and that our State receives nothing ? Yet no sooner is a democrat from this State appointed to an office, than these very whigs are the Hrst to denounce him for receiving the salary fixed by law. But we now apply the adage at the bead of this article : " He that lives in a glass house should not throw stones." If any set of men require to be reminded of the truth and force of this adage, i'. is the whigs. One would think, to hear them talk, or to read what they write, that they were the purest and most dis interested set of politicians that ever lived. We do not know what office the author of " One of the People " may have filled, or the amount of salary he may have received. But we hazard little iu saying, if he he has not re ceived at the tate of five thousand dollars for five months, as- he- has falsely charged upon' JVIf Henry, the fault has not been his. - Will he do the public the justice to examine the journals of the Senate, at the last session of the General Assembly, and tell us the amount that was reported in favor of George E. Bapger, esq., as au extra fee for bis ser vices 'in the Western Land suits? Will he examine further, and find out from the Books of the Treasurer or Comptroller, and inform us how much was paid to the different Counsel who were engaged in those suits by the State? If my information be right one thousand dollars apiece was paid to Mr Badger and Mr Sw ain, who were first employ ed that on Mr Swain's being elected a Judge, as but little had been done in the bus iness, he paid back five hundred Jollars of his fee. When, by a resolution cf the Legisla ture, the Attorney General was directed to ap pear, and the Governor was authorized to ap point additional Counsel, and Judge Seawell was employed, and for his services he was paid $ 1 000. In the mean time, several new suits were brought in the Federal Court, and for his appearance there, Mr Badger received an .additional fee of $500 or a $1000! Judge Seawell having beeu elected to the bench, the labor of trying the suits devolv ed on Mr Badger and the Attorney General aline. Thet:ase was then carried to the Su peTtor ebuTt ofthe- United etafJfcand Gfcn. Saunders having resigned as Attorney Gene ral, the Governorwas directed to employ other Counsel to appear with Mr Badger, and Mr Webster, as report says, was engaged at a fee of another thousand. The case was ar gued by Mr Webster; and Mr Badger though so liberally, paid, did not appear at the trial. Now, after the payment of these many lib eral fees, what will the people think, when they are told that their whig Legislature, at its last session, actually voted Geo. E. Badger an extra fee of $2,500, and D. L. Swain $5C0 and interest from the time he paid back that sum. But the extravagance and injustice of the thing does not stop here. Gen. Saunders who had been engaged iu the suits throughout and who, after his resignation, under a reso lution ofthe Legislature, was directed to be paid by the Governor such fees as he might think reasonble, had received but $500, and that, too, allowed by Gov. Swain, taking his own case as the standard. Yet a whig Leg islature had the meanness to refund Gov. Swain his $500, and to pay 300 more by way of interest, and to pay George E. Badger $2,500 and yet .not one additional cent was paid to Gen. Saunders. Now, Mr "One of the People," as you seem to be so expert at figures, will you tell us, how much the day and hour the services of Mr Geo. E. Badger amounts to, for his $4,500 ! One of the People " is so ready to calculate the services of Mr Henry, who was paid a stated annual salary, to see what the amount was " per day per hour," and even to "a minute," will he now try his hand and tell us how much Ihe day, the hour, the min ute, George E. Badger, the whig Ex-Secretary, received for his services taking 4,500 for about five days'1 actual services? To this too, should be added what it is said Mr Bad- the tax fees in the numerous suits that were pendin W hen " One of the People " shall figure out the sum we have here given him, it is pos sible the sums paid to other distinguished whigs may be brought to his notice. Iu the mean time, we say to him and his co-adjutors come on. McDUFF. Mr. Henry, in Yancy. We have beeu informed by an individual who was present at Burnsville Yancy county, when Louis D. Henry addressed the citizens of that county, that the occasion passed off with very fine ef fect. The court house was full of persons, and they were for the most part attentive lis teners. Gen. B. M. Edney replied, and our infor mant states that he heard some of the Gen eral's friends remark that his reply was "a perfect flash in the pan." Au abortive effort was made by some two or three to cheer the General, with clapping and stamping, but it was "no go;" and the first attempt was also the last. From all we hear, much has been effected in Yancy County,- the people there seem to have discovered the cheats that were practiced on them during the last canvass; and are now anxious to epp'y the remedy. Our friends abroad may depend on a very different report at the ensuing election, compared with that of 1S40. Louis D. Henry is doing his duty ; let his friends but do theirs, and all will be right. Lincoln Republican. Mr Henry used up. Some one has written to the Editor of the Raleigh Register from Rumcombe, that Mr Henry was badly used up when he made his speech there, by Lawyer Clingmaa who re plied to him off-hand, proved all his facts false, aud all his arguments talacious. What a merciless set of fellows these Whig orators are! A Republican can't show his head any where and make a speech, but straightway he is pounced upon and entirely used tip by some little giant or other some young De mosthenes, or Jupitor Tonans ! He is eith er thundered to pieces, a la Rayner or he is argufied to stultification by Mr Clingman, to say nothing about Orator Brummel and such like formidable geniuses. But according to the Buncombe letter wri ter, Mr Clingman must be a truly wonderful young man, for he has actually proven what no man before had the impudence to under take to prove : he has proven that "the Whigs (as they call themselves) have re deemed all their promises." Redeemed their piomises have they? Did they in 1840 pro mise to double the taxes did they promise to create a New National debt of Ticenty mil' lions during the firstyear of their power-did they promise to raise the expenses ofthe Govern ment from 22 1-2 millions to nearly thirty did they promise to pass a Bankrupt Law did they promise to give away 3 1-2 millions a year of the public money did they pro mise to give Mrs Harrison $25,000? All this they have done, but did they promise it to the people? They promised better times they have made worse: they promised econo mythey, have run into, prodigal - extrava gance: they promised to make plenty f mo ney high wages to the , laborer high pri ces to the farmer where are they? 'These are facts that no honest man, Whig or Democrat will deny. .Then by what art of hocuspocus even a great orator like Law yer Clingman can make it appear that they have redemed all their promises, is more than we could undertake to guess. Western Ca rolinian. '' The sag How it works. On Wednesday last the Federal majority of the House pf Representatives, on the motion of Mr Fillmore, the chairman of the commit tee of Ways aud Means, adopted, by a strict party vote, a resolution that all debate upon the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill, in committee of the Whole, should cease at 12 o'clock on Saturday. When the time came, there remained items of appropriation amount ing to more than nine millions of dollars un touched. All debate ceased. Not n word of argument or explanation was allowed. Let ters from the Departments of the Government relating to these very items of appropriation were not permitted to be read ; and in the space of one hour and a half, unJr this gag, the House of ReDreseut-ves of tfc-. United States n tWibcrntivtr a'LAinbly, fcodvefied to i coukjsui logemer yomju away nine minions of dollars of the people's money! This bill had been before the committee ofthe Whole more than nine weeks; days and weeks had been consumed by peculiar friends and peculiar enemies of the Lxecutive in angry debate upou irrelevant matters ; while the bill itself, so deeply important to the country, is driven through with most inconsiderate haste. Can we longer wonder at the aversion of the people from the controlling Federal ma jority of the House? It is spoken trumpet tougued in the late elections, from every quar ter of the land. Globe.. TWENTY-SEVENTH CONGRSSE. SsliCONl SESSION. Senate, Wednesday, April 20, 1842.

The committee report against the indemnity, on the assumed grouuds 1st. Because the ap plication for indemnity was not made by Gen.

House, Friday, April 22, 1842. Mr Everett sent to the Clerk's table an amendment to the apportionment bill, for the purpose of having it printed, before the House, in Committee of the Whole, proceeded with the consideration ot that bill. It was under stood to be designed to provide for additional members, at certain periods before the next ceusus should be taken, to be added to the Representatives of such States as should liave a sufficient increase of the fractions iu their constituencies, under the bill about to be pas sed. Ihe House then resolved itself into com mittee of the W hole, (Mr Medill in the chair,) and took up the private calendar; and after passing on a number of bills, the committee rose and reported progress. Several Executive communications were then presented to the House, and were appro priately referred; and after the transaction of some other unirnpoitant business, The House adjourned to Monday.

The commit tee proceeded with the consideration of the apportionment bill. After some remarks from Mr Tillinghast, .

Air Dayne: Why don't you cry aloud, about that Military Convt-ntion that those wnr-l-ke men in Wilmington are going to have in Ru1eil, on the 4th of July next. It'a a dangerous tiling, I tell you. Perhaps they wanta Standing Army. They say they want to improve the discipline of the Mi litia. I wonder what bolter discipline is required, than we have in our Low er Regiment of Cumber land County, with its gallant Co'oml and accom plis'.icd Adjutant. Sir, I am afraid they want to deprive us of some of our liberties why, they mav recommend a law to prevent the Colonel from march ing his officers, after a drill, to Head Q.uarter?r Lib erty Point; or at least make them march atnryt, in stead of Virginia fence fashion. Or they miht try to make Capt. Tow Head throw his men. into a hollow square, to receive cavalry. Or they may or der a Co'iri Martial to try our veteran Brrgade 3Vfa- jor and Inpcotor under the seemtd section, tov mqr- . . r - . . . ... i . H. fore the Lower Rcgimcht of Cumberland' Coirnry, last fall. Am.i7ing Ptrrtch of power!! Then thry may become Paul Pries, and endeavor ti find' out w here the Companies are, of which that groat Regi ment of North Carol ina State Artillery is composed. And suppose thfy should not find Ihrm, nno get tim Legislature say there is no such .Regiment; would it not abridge the liberties of all ruffled si,;, I gentry who hold the nominal Field and FtiifT offices in it, down to Serjeant Major, by divf-stinjr them f puch offices and compelling them to d'j Military du ty? Unheard of assurence!
