both as regards number and standing
Those assembled were very attentive ; and
though many f litem xt ere those who have
heretofore ranged themselves under the
banner of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too,'
they did credit to themselves and the coun
ty of which they compose a part, by the
courteous manner in which they' attended
to the speaker. There was little or no ii
.terrupiion; and so far as I have been able
Ho ascertain the sentiments & feelings of the
larger part, of lite assemblage, the speech
will not lie forgotten It is destined to be
jemembered, talked about, leflected on, and,
so forcibly were its propositions pro veil,
that I am-convinced, it will be by many,
believed and acted on. Indeed I have
beard some of the wing party of standing
and influence, declare they were done with
wbiggcry, and its advocates.
You tuny depend upon it sir, Mr. Henry
lias not visited the mountains for nothing;
and if yon ask me for he proof of tliis as
sertion, I give it to you in the excitement
and trepidation in the fears and exertions,
made by those of the whin leaders (whose
opinions truth cannot reach) to counteract
Mie effect, and render abortive, the altenipt
so successfully made, to expose the false
promises heretofore made by themselves,
their inability to govern the country and
the manifest signs of ruin and defeat which
attend every where.
Mr. Henry is a very able debater.
Dignified without haughtiness, acute with
out craftiness, winy and when occasion
demands it sarcastic, without scurrility,
eloquent without being pompous, he ne
cessarily injures attention and commands
the remembrance of his hearers, lie is
pemlemanly. you know full of humor
in public speaking, he has a manner pecul
iar to himself very droll, be nud;es a
cro wd laugh in spite of itself and at times,
very eloquent, though different from Judge
Saunders.
Some of the Whigs are trying to misre
present hi? arguments, and to destroy their
effect; they were very busy the evening
fier his speech. Still, I tell you, you
may count on a change, comparing the
coming election with that of 1840, or I
am wofully deceived.
Yours &c.
THE WHIG CONVENTION.
This body assembled at Raleigh, on
Monday the 4;li insi. There were 3.")
Counties represented, und about 250 dele
gates in attendance. They passed a num
ber of resolutions, lamenting the death of
Harrison; expressing full confidence in
Whig principles; denouncing Tyler, and
disavowing all connection with him; nomi
nating Henry Clay for ihe Presidency; ap
proving of the conduct of John M. More
head, and nominating him f r Coventor;
and disapproving of Mr. Tyler's recom
mendation to repeal the Distribution law
The Raleigh Siar says:
"As suon as the Resolution nominating Go
Morehead had lie n ailoyicd, that 3islir.guil id
gentleman, w ho had been waited vycn ly n Com
mittee, appeared before the Convcntionvaiid in an
eloqucnt and appropriate address accepted lie no
mination, and avowed his undiminished confidence
in T big measures and Whip prir.cii Irs. lie said
he had gone into oflicc with the determination to
l.c the Governor of the statc, and not of a party,
' and whatever others might allege ag-.tim-l him, he
Al that he had rediwmcd the pledge he then made,
lie dwelt Uj)on the coaditkn of th c W hig jsrtv
and expressed his confident belief th at in the ensu
ing contest they would achieve a glorious icloiy.
So John M. Morehead accepts the nom
ination. We are heartily glad of it.
The Convention passed one resolution,
which shows that its members are becom
ing alarmed at the signs of the limes- It
is as follows:
And although this Convention are sensi
ble of the objections which be against a
canvass of Hie Siato by an official person
age like the Governor, and cannot, as a
general practice, recommend or approve
llie same, yet considering the efforts now
making by the Loco Foco Candidate for
thatoince", as well as by others of the par
ty, by artifice and misrepreprescntalion, to
delude the good people f North Carolina
into the support of that candidate for Governor-
"jui!ii e mmiIi idem ihe whig
cause and whig principles, this convention
deem the present an occasion on which,
all objections against the practice should
yield to the welfare of the people, the su
preme law of patriotic minds; and there
fore, Resolved, That Coventor Morehf.ad
ought, in the judgment of this Convention,
and he is hereby respectfully desired to
meet ami address his fellow citizens,
when and where he shall deem it necessa
ry, in order to prevent the success of those
efforis, and to promote ihe cause of truth
and sound political principles.
Thev think it wrong for an official per
sonage like the Coventor, to canvass the
Slate; yet they recommend and desire their
candidate to be guilty of that wrong, in
order lo promote the success of the parly!
Very patriotic men, to be sure !
HOUSE OF- REPRESENTATIVES.
J - April 4, 1842.
The General Appropriation bill being
under consideration in Committee of llie
whole, .
0:i the clause miking appropriations for
the mini at Philadelphia, an I the branch
mints at Charlotte and Daiilonega, Geor
gia. Mr. Willis Green intimated his intention,
whn the proper ti ne ca ne, to move to
strike out all appropriations for these branch
u' in :s.
The committee then proceeded, and
when the clause appropriating a sum for
the payment of the workmen at the Dah
ni(ga branch mint was u;iJjr consideration.
.Mr. Garret Dm moved lo strike out
that appropriation, and contended that' the
mint at l'hilidelphia was ah!e to make all
the coinage req-iired, and thai the expenses
of coming at the branch mints were greater
in proportion than at the mint at Philadel
phia. -
Mr. G. W". Caldwell inquired how the
gentleman from Kentucky proposed to ac
complish the "reform and retrenchment"
about which he talked so much? Suppose
his motion now prevailed, would he abol
ish this rnin:J No. Would he save one
cent to ihe Government? No. Would lie
then deprive the officers of their salaries?
No. Why then should he consume the
time of tli3 committee witfi these projects
of 'retrenchment and ' reform," when his
motion, if it should prevail, would save
nothing at all? Was not its effect to be
merely to show to ihe country that such a
motion had been made, that credit may be
obtained for prop .ing "reforms," although
it is known at the time that by it no "re
form" can be effected? The gentleman
ta'ked about ihe. savings that would lie
effected bv all the coinage being done at
Philadelphia, but he should be glad lo see
it demonstra'ed bv figures. lie could
show tit at the coinage costs less at the
branch mints than a: Pennsylvania, and if"
any should be abolished, he could show
thai ii should be ihe mint at Philadelphia.
That mint cost $60,000 per annum to keep
it up, which was $43,000 more than ihe
expense of ihe mini ai Charlotte, and more
than the expei.se of ihe branch mints al
logether. lie, however, did not now pro
pose logo into an argument on this ques
tion, but whenever it properly came upon
a proposition to repeal ihe law establishing
the branch mint ai Charlotte, be would
show that all the arguments of the gentle
man from Kentucky were worth noth
ing. Mr. Willis Green having made some ob
servation.. Mr. Mack said the gentleman from Ken
lucky was behind the proper time with his
motion: it should have beejn made at an
earlier period, and not on an appropriation
for the payment of ihe workmen of one
branch, v hen ihe committee bail passed
tiie appropriations for others without objec
tion. Mr. H. went on to give the amount of
gold coined at the mints of Georgia arid
North Carolina, and the amount coined at
the principal mint at Philade lphia, from
which he showed that the annual expense
of the branch mints was less in proportion
to their amount of coinage., than thai of ihe
principal mini. He then went on to show
the impolicy of abolishing the mints in the
tegion wiiere the gold was produced, when
ihe expense and risk of transportation, to
gether with the great inconvenience of the
producer, was taken into consideration
Take away, said he, the gold of Georgia,
the Caroltnas, and Virginia, from the prin
cipal mini, and whal would it have to de
pend on ? Merely the foreign bullion
brought into the country. And if the for
eigh importation was any consideration,
the mint at New Oilcans should he retain
ed, or one established in New York, and
the principal commercial rhies, where the
most of the bullion is received,' instead of
depending alone on the mint at Philadel
phia, an inland city. Mr. B. contended
ti.at on the score of economy, the branch
mints should be retained, as the expense
of keeping them up as less, in proportion
to the amount o! coinage, Hiait thai ol v.c
Philadelphia mint. .Mr. 55. showed the
"real inconveniences and losses that would
be sustained by the owners of ttie mines,
and the laborers employed on them, by
abolishing ihe mints, inconsequence ofihe
speculators who surrounded the mines, and
who speculated on litem to a ruinous extent.
.Mr. Garret. Davis explained.
Mr. Hlack said the gentleman's inten
tions were one thing, and his acts another.
Me then drew a parallel between the gentle
man's conduct in this instance, and what it
would be o i a question for the protection
of domestic manufactures. This, however,
was not a question of protection, but of the
rendition of equal and evenhanded justice.
The question was further debated by
Mrssrs. Hlack, Habersham, Morgan, and
Caldwell.
Mr. A. V. Brown opposed the amend
ment, and contended that the mints should
be kept in the region in which the gold
ws found, and if any were pulled down,
they should begin and pull down at Phila
delphia. Mr. Graham also opposed tbn amend
ment, and spoke in support of the branch
mints.
Mr. Everett participated in the discus
sion, and Mr. Gilmer next obtained the
floor, but gave way for a motion to rise.
Hie vote on which was laken by tellers, as
follows ayes G2, noes 41, which was Jess
than t quorum. The committee rose and
reported that fact to the House, and the
House l'en adjourned.
