So sensible were the framers of our constitution of it, that they wisely distributed tbe power of the govern ment among the different departments, and provided for a frequent return of those to be entrusted with power to the body of their fel low citizens. Our legislators and our execu tive officers have frequently to pass the ordeal of nublic scrutiny, ana ineir re-eiection is made to depend upon the judgment of the people with regard to the manner in which they have performed the trusts committed to their hands. No ono among us can be found who doubts the propriety of those provisions; and many there are who contend that an un due amount of power and influence has. been given to the executive, in the patronage which he possesses, although his nomina tions to the princpal offices under him are submitted to the Senate for their approval or rejection. There is no power or influence which can be employed with greater effect than the con trol of a large amount of money. Mr. Clay has truly remarked that the power of the purse is raore'potent than that of the sword, and his tory informs us that Philip's money accom plished what hii arms, without its aid, could never have effected. It is therefore, impor tant to guard against the effects likely to be produced by permitting a few individuals, to control the influence which is or may be exer cised with money, for any great length of time, particularly if they be such as are irresponsi Die to ine people, ana cannot he reacned, in any manner, through the medium of the ballot boxes, which is the grand correcter of abuses, and the only preservative of -the rights of the people. The Bank of the United States is capable of exercising, and has exercised a most powful influence, and its power extends throughout the whole country. It can establish branches wherever the directors think proper and they have been established in direct opposition to-the. will and wishes of some of the state au thorities, in places where there was not such an amount of business transacted as to call for any such establishments. The transactions ofthe Bankanditsbranchesare principally con fined to the knowledge ofthe directors, and those who may be influenced by them, and conse quently operate in a manner secret and unseen by the persons who are entrusted with the management of our national affairs, and the greatlmass ofthe people. They have their secret service fund which they employ according to their own will and pleasure, without being lia ble to be called upon for any explanation with . regard-to. the manner or the objects for which it is employed; and in relation to those mat ters which may be enquired into,- they are so so great, that it is morally impossible to as certain, unless the directors see proper to fur nish the information, whether they have exer cised their power in a proper or improper manner. If they act improperly, it is not to be supposed that they will expose their misdeeds, and that they will not act improperly we have no other security or assurance than the confi dece which is reposed in the honesty of the men to whom the power is entrusted. No one 7- would be willing. to trust to nnft man. fnr anir! great length of time; the power which is en trusted to the President ofthe U. States, whose acts are open to the view of the people and the scrutiny of Congress ; yet the directors ofthe Bank possess a power more potent and in fluential that that of the President, and a very considerable amount of it is exercised in such u manner as to be virtually under the control of the President of that institution, who is known to have employed it in such a manner as to create no very favourable opinion among the people that he would refuse to do that which is improper, and which might have a dangerous tendency upon the liberties of the country. Examinations has been twice made irito the management of the affairs of the Bank by Committees of Congress, and although they were, from the very nature ofthe case, merely partial and extremely limited, beino- confined to the operations ofthe mother Bank, and of them such only as the directors chose to be looked into, reports in both cases, were made against the Bank. Had it been possible to look info the hidden mysteries of its operations and to have seen the nature and extent of the transactions of the different branches through out the wide extent ofthe country, how differ ent, in all probability, would have been jthe picture which would have presented itself to the view. , In suchcase, there would have been seen, we have nq doubt, the most discus tins ana alarming urruimuus ana enormi idle I sea tempt to control its power would be as and vain as km? Canute s order to the not to dash its spray upon his person. What then are the liberties of the country worth if such an incubus is to be permitted to bear upon its bosom? They would not be worth a straw. And shall we sacrifice our li berties for all the advantages it can confer upon a few when compared to the great mass of American nponln? What madness and fol- lv would it dishlav. Will the people be guil ty of such madness and folly? No, verily. Their voice has ffone forth against the Bank, and their voice must be obeyed. They have declared that the Bank shall be put down, aud down it must fall. NOTICE.

Ev ery where else a sort of calm has succeeded to ferment. In Poland and in Germany order reigns under the influence of the bavonet. In Italy, begining in the north of the Peninsula we find that (to use the slang terms of absolu tism) force reste a la hi, in other words tha freedom is trodden under foot. The exlibera Charles Albert, has, it is true, ceased to exe cute daily his half dozen soldiers or lawyers but the prisons of Genoa, Alessandria, Cham berry, and Pignerol remain crowded with de nounced or suspected individuals, who may at his nod become victims or martyrs. The Austrians govern for the Pope in Bologna, and indeed it may be said in the Papal States, notwithstanding that the French ridiculously keep up their laughable garison in Ancona. King Ferdinand of Naples asserts, through the columns of the press, (a new medium for con veying regal dogmas in that part of the Penin sula) that disaffection had not for a moment menaced the monarchy. The freebooters of Greece have for the moment submitted to the foreigner placed on the throne of their (I fear) ephemeral kingdom, Mehemet Ali has malgre lui, been compelled to content himself with a portion, instead of the entire of the Ottoman Empire.

That the General Committee be in structed to enquire into the expediency of construct ing a Kail Koad from the Town of Beaulort, through Trenton and Kinston to Wjaynesborough. On motion, adjourned to nine o'clock to-morrow morning. Tuesoay, Sept. 17. Convention met agreeably to .adjournment. Mr. Croom, from tlu General Committee, submit ted the following The General Committee to whom was referred va rious resolutions submitted to the Convention, beg leave to present the following report: Your committee believing that a numerous and respectable body of their fellow citizens are looking with deep solicitude to the proceedings.of this Conven tion, were fully impressed with the importance of the trust confided to them, of submitting plans of internal improvement to the favorable consideration of this bo dv. which if sanctioned, may conduce permanently to the ' weal or wo' of a large and important section of North Carolina. In "encountering these oppressive and responsible duties, they derived no small aid from the confidence which rectitude of purpose and the noble desire to do good, never fail to inspire. The Committee first considered the expediency of improving ine navigation 01 tne river INeuse. From every examination they are able to bestow on this subject, they were satisfied of the impracticability of i : i .,.-u . u i . i rtijueiiu tt oujt,i tv cuaiuiei oi communication as me wants of the community imperiously require. This stream is filled with logs, stumps, and snags, from Newbern to Smithfield,. a distance of two hundred miles, in most ot what are caued the straight reach esjogs have settled to the bottom, and by presenting obstructions to the floating sand, produced accumula tions of it over and between these logs, so as to produce permanent sand-bars commensurate with these sec tion? ofthe river. ' These straights vary in length from a fourth to a mile and :a half. The crooks of the nver are stu ..j, .u..i.n,i..i i,u icss me approoation than thp miration oi an intelligent and observant men It ' sufficient to say in favour of this system, that although m its infancy in this country, there are already mo : than fifty millions of dollars vested in this species of improvement, that is already extending both in thL country and Europe, and though m:iny of the rail roads now in operation in this countrv rnct ptj:.' thirty thousand dollars per mile, there is not one the stock of which is not above par. Indeed there has been no instance of rail-road stock selling at par anv where. This section of our state affords great and peculiar advantages for the construction of rail-roads It is level, it abounds with the best timber, and prol visions and labour are plentiful and cheap. Northern rail-roads are built with southern pine, after an ex pense is incurred for grading, far exceeding what with us would be the entire cost of constructinfr. With them too, labour and provisions are higher." The Committee readily agreed upon what they think the most eligible rout for a raff-road. They be lieve lhat Newbern District possesses distinguished advantages in this respect, f Beaufort inlet and har bour are not only the best ia orth Carolina, bat the best to the south ofthe Chesapeake, with the excep tion perhaps of Pesacola. There are 18 feet over Beaufort bar at low water, antr in its spacious and commodious harbour 500 vessels Can ride with ease and safety. We cannot refrain from expressing sur prise that this favored spot should have been so lotif neglected, and lhat North Carolinians should have been such ingrates as to charge Heaven with having denied them the facilities necessary tocreate and su tain a- ffreat commercial emporium. Add to these that Beaufort is so healthy as to be a place of resorl in the sickly season, and nothing is wanting but the produce ofthe country to insure its rapid advance ment, and the prosperity of that portion of country connected with it by rail-road communication. In fluenced by these views and considerations, your Committee beg leave to report favourably to the ac companying resolutions. Resolved, I. That in the opinion of this Conven tion, the improvement of this section of the State by means f rail-roads is preferable to any practicable improvement of the river Neuse. Resolved, 2. That this Convention recommend to the Legislatu re to extend liberal aio. to the Internal Improvement ofthe State by rail-roads the funds to be raised by loan or taxation. Resolved, 3. That in the opinion of this Conven tion, it is expedient to construct a rail-road from Beau fort through Trenton and Kinston to Waynesborough. Resolved, 4. That it is expedient to construct a rail-road from the town of Newbern so as to intersect the rail-road from Beaufort to Waynesborough. Respectfullv submitted, , " ISAAC CROOM, Cfc'n.
