The, Constitution of the United States was
formed by the People of the several States, in
Conventions assembled, and not by a majority
of the mass and any doctrine which would
give the power to a majority of the 4oi people
in amend the Constitution, would be at war with
the rery principles of our system. Mr. Kara
contended for no such doctrine. Thel "Greens
boro' Patriot" denies the truth of the charge.
and we expect, in due time, to adduce other
proof. It i but charitable to presume that
those who certify for the 44 Standard's" anony
mous correspondent misunderstood Mr. Kaaa.
He has used the same illustration repeatedly
before, we learn, aud even Got. Rxid saw noth
ing in his position to complain or cavil about.
These are days of " Certificates" a species
of Parthian arrows shot htkimd a Candidate by
his enemies into the midst of his friends, when
he has gone too far ahead to apply the antidote
It is a savage mode of warfare. It was adopted
in 1830, la the case of Oor;;3tuaT, and we
wager thatnot one of the charges' preferred
against Mr. Kaaa was seat towards the West
Those who have nursed them into' life know
full well, that had they been sent in that direc
tion, thsy would have; received from Mr. Kit a
a refutation too "hastr" to enable them to "do
their deeds of mischief.
All the flummery and grand eloquence of the
" Standard's" Extra about 44 Seward," is but
another 44 bug-bear" to frighten those who have
ntf nerrea, and build up as well as possible a
inking cause. We cannot believe that any Whig
will be frightened from his propriety by any
such stuff!
ARE YOU READY, FELLOW WHIGS?
The Election for Governor and Members of
the Legislature will take place on Thursday, Ihe
ffik of Input Our Whig friends see that they
have but about Twenty days to work before the
election will be upon us. Is it necessary that
we should again appeal to them to put forth their
whole energies in the cause during this short
pen? They were defeated in 1850 by the
lukewarmness and dissensions which existed in
the Whig ranks. We all know the mortification
which all true Whigs felt when the news of de
feat reached them, and we do not believe there
was Whig in any part of the State who did
not resolve to exert himself, with redoubled rigor
and seal rather than this should again occur.
We have repeatedly appealed to our friends -to
omaxizk in each and every County in the State.
The process is e'aay and simple requiring noth-
ing but promptness and energy, and information
as to the names and residences of the leading
Whigs of each County. Let arrangements be
made by which every Whig voter may attend the
polls. If there be any sick and infirm, let their
brother Whigs of the neighborhood furnish them
such means as they may need, to attend the
polls and exercise the privilege of voting. The
locofoco Party know well they cannot defeat us
if our full strength is polled. They rely upon
our lukewarmness and want of efficient organi
tation. There is full time to remedy any diffi
culty on this score, and we urge upon our friends
IMMEDIATE, FaOMPT AKD XNXaOITIC ACTIOS
They should bear in mind that every thing will
be done by the locofoco party to carry the State
They have already resorted to caniiingly devised
falsehoods, to defeat Johh Kxaa, and Whigs in
all sections of the State may look out for a new
set of such falsehoods each succeeding week and
particularly on the day of election. Forew arn-
ed let our friends be forearmed, and nreDare
with a resolute determination for the conflict
The Whigs from all parts of the Union are look
ng with deep anxiety to our August elections.

AMENDMENTS OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Let it be remembered that the Constitution of
the State was intended to be a safeguard of the
rights and liberties of the People. It is a check
upon, defines and limits the power of the Gen
eral Assembly. If this body is permitted to
make both the law and the Constitution, is it not
making null for all valuable- purposes, one of
those rights which were declared to be vested in
the People and the People only t It may be an
swered that no amendment can be incorporated
into the Constitution, without the ratification of
the People. But there is a great differencebe-
tweea the power to originate and the mere right
of ratification or confirmation. If each succeed
ing Legislature is to become the advisers of the
PxorLE under that clause which gives that body
the right to originate amendments, then will
the People be subjected to incessant excitement
in reference to their fundamental law, and forced
by the. apprehension of such excitement to adopt
amendments which are unwise and which they
themselves would never have originated. It is
a reflection on popular integrity and intelligence
to say that the Peoflb have sense enough to pass
on what the Assembly have proposed to them,
but that they are not fit to judge of what they
want cannot be trusted with the power of theif
own guardianship. If the power, to originate,
through m Convention, whenever they desire them,
mendmentsto their Constitution, is taken
from the People, then it is no longer true that UU
political power is vested in and derived from the
Feotle only" anj when our Bill of Rights thus
declares, it asserts what is made by this doctrine
of Legislative amendments a practical absurdity
and a falsehood. We go for the right of the
Peoflb to govern according to the forma of the
Constitution, and, when their voice and wish are
known beyond doubt, then that voice and that
wish should be respected and carried out by the
Legislature.

ihowinj. reasons for preference of Mr. Fili
We
have heretofore had the best of reasons
for refusing all credit to W. B. W's despatches,
and the apology which he now publicly renders
for making false affirmations shows such a reck
less disregard of truth, that no man in the fu-
ture can trust a word on the wires endorsed by
him. Hear him : "Gentlemen are at all times
forced to give facts or the publio belief, without
stating any details connected with them -for
words sent on the wires cost publishers dollars."
Wires, then, are the harmless vehicles of false
hood. The Editors are not responsible, because.
to tell the truth would cost them dollars. The
communicator of the falsehood is not responsi
ble, because it is his duty to save the dollars, even
at the expense of the truth. Well, it is more
than probable that the telegraphic correspon
dent of the ''Standard" has got into a vocation 1
that will agree with both his morals and man
ners.
But such apology does injustice to the iron
messenger. There is no need of making it the
vehicle of falsities. If rumors are afloat, and it
is desired to let a distant portion of the country j
know of their existence, it costs just four cents
to preface the Despatch by saying, "rumored
that." Those who prefer the rumor to be stated
as a fact, rather than pay such a sum, are care
less of the truth and prefer falsehood to truth.
The public, hereafter, will know what reliance to
place in the despatches of the 'Standard,' since we
are unbhuhingly told that they assume one or
the other form of a fact known or rumor reported,
according as it may be cheaper or dearer.
It is amusing to us, aad would have been hu
miliating to any other than VV . B. "W., to hear
him state that Mr. Clay did dictate such aa ar
ticle as he refers to before his death, and to
add : "If the Editor of the "Register" doubts,
let him write to Mr. Marshall, get the rough
notes and publish them." Aware that no cred
it can be given to what he says, unless he may
have his witness ready, he names him. Now,
we venture that he even stated this matter on
rumor, although it was perfectly convenient to
ask Mr. Marshall himself 1
Being thus conscious that his statements re
quire corroboration, we think it his own busi
ness to look after the proofs. What he may say
has ceased to inspire in our mind enough cred
it to put us on the inquiry. He must hunt up
the proofs for himself 1

2. He has not endeavored to crawfish on the

always has. '
3, He does not shrink from declaring his sen

general position and principles of the Whig par

course of his remarks he made a very interesting
and important statement in regard to the posi

be read just now with very general satisfaction.
He said he had seen Mr. Webstee during the
day, and had conversed with him freely upon
the nomination and prospects of the Whig party.
Mr. Webstee in that conversation acknowledged
gratefully the attachment and devotion which
nis friends had exhibited, both in the National
Covention and since the nomination had been
made. But he said he did not see how any good
result could bo attained by presenting his name
any further to the country, and that one com
mon duty now devoted upon us all, that, name
ly, of tallying to the support of the Candidate
regularly nominated by the representatives of
Whigs of the Union, in Convention assembled.
For nis own part he was ready to give the Whig
ticket his cordial support, and so he trusted
were Whigs everywhere, whatever might have
been their personal predilections.
Ihese remarks were received with loud ap
plause; they seem to put an effectualextinguisher
upon the rumors recently circulated with so
much industry, that Mr. Webster had consen
ted to accept the Matave American nomination,
and would not support the Whig ticket.
LETTER FROM HON. GEO. C. WASHING
TON.
roa THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCES.
I have seen in the public prints the proceed
ings of the American .National Convention,
which assembled at Trenton, New Jersey, on
the 5th instant, from which it appears that I was
nominated as a candidate for the office of Vice.!
President of the United States. No official com
munication of the fact has been received by me,
anu u any suon waa mau it uaa miscarried.-
My name having been thus unexpectedly pre
sented to the countryk 1 cannot longer consent to
t remain silent, and therefore adopt this mode of
. . 1
responding to tne nomination.
lam highly honored in being deemed worthy
of such distinction, and by having my name as
sociated with that of the eminent and revered
citixen selected by the Convention for the office
I of President of the United States.
The Baltimore Whig Convention has presen
ted to the nation, as candidates for the same of
fices, the names of Winfield Scott and Wm. A.
Graham. These nominations received my cor
dial assent, as they will my seakras support.
1 have been on terms of friendly intercourse
with Gen. Scott for twenty yaers, and esteem him
forhis spotless character, and his frank, manly,
and courteous bearing. I respect him for talents
often severely tested, but which never failed him
under the most trying circumstances ; and I ad
mire him for his military services, by which the
i character of his country has been elevated at
home and abroad, and been equalled by those
of no man living or dead since the days of the
Revolution.
He has freely shed his blood in maintaining
the honor of his country and her rights. His
patriotic devotion to the Union, conservative
principles, and firm support of the Compromise
measures, cannot, in my belief, be questioned
without doing him great wrong and injustice.
Mr. Ueabam is wholly unexceptionable, be
ing respected for his talents and esteemed for
his virtues by all who know him.
Entcrtaising these opinions of the candidates
of the Whig National Convention, and' being
fully and willingly committed to their support,
I am constrained most respectfuUr to decline
the nomination of the American National Con
vention. GEORGE C. WASHINGTON.

Iaham left no heirs nearer than first cousins. At
the instance of some of said heirs in North Caroli
