which htf are composed. -Jle volution, is

But the Enquirer speaks of jt u a "con
servative principle of ur; Confederacy."
This again puts us rathe dark, and introdu
ces confusion where we thought no confu
sion existed. ; 7f it is only meant that it is a
principle in the shape of a dernier resort,
with which every people, whether living
separate or consolidated - communities, are
armed by Heaven, the darkness disappears'
and the dificulties vanish. But if it ia meant
tba it is a principle lying vitMn ourConfed-
en y, and which may be exercised in'ccoTy
dance with the -eat. Charter that holds' it
together, we most te allowed to express our
surprise and say that we are not able to com
prehend the proposition: ' To secede is to
withdraw from the Union, the necessary ef
fect of which would beto break up the gov-
trnment and create a revolutioa. u -.
; But, then, if, this is all that is meant of se
cessioo, whT ia it necessary to .affirm it ?
We presume then that. "something more is
tneantthaa the broad bold right of revolu

jfreat Mississippi wjtii the right to roll Hs
floods into the Ocean. Is it supposed that
the right in any of the Stair slo secede, if a
right found in the Constitu Jpn ; that binds
them together, and that it contains the Seeds
of its destruction or the period of its own life?
If so it stands alone in the history of govern
ments. No government is ever so suicidal
as to provide for its own demolition. Upon
the face of every Constitution is found the
principle of perpetuity, and this ia eminent) v
true of our own. It was framed for centuries,

At Jleckleiiurg- Superior Court, on the

Whereupon, as we learn from the Hornet's

ed after listening to a, apeech otan hour and
a half in length from Hon. Henry Clay.
You were made aware by the report of the
Legislative proceedings of yesterday, .thata
resolution passed b. the. House. was unani
mously concurred in, inviting Mr. Clay to
meet the General A ssembfy in the ' Hail of
the House to-day, at 12 o'clock. In pursu
ance tojthat invitation, at the hour appointed,
in the" presence of an immense crowd, Mr.
Clay Was introduced byHhe Joint Committee
of both- Houses and received by? the Speaker
of the tower House inane of toe most chaste,
beautiful and patriotic addresses I ever heard.
After the speaker had closed, Mr. Clay arose,
evidently laboring under the greatest emo
tion-". There was a silence of Tadmor in the
Hall : breathing ceased, and the crowd pre
sented the appearance of a great tableau of
unmoviog statues, with expectation depicted
upon every countenance. After thanking
the Speaker, for-the flattering address be had
just made, and the Legislature for the high
compliment intended to be paid him by their
polite invitation to meet them, he proceeded
to allude to, and discuss the late Subjects of
agitauon in the country, embracing the mea
sures "contained in the Compromise. He
took them up consecutively, The admission
of California, Utah, &&, the Texas boundary
bill, the abolition of the slave trade in the
District of Columbia, and the Fugitive Slave
bill. Of all these questions he expressed the
opinion that they were settled, definitely and
permanently, and acquiesced in by the whole
country, with, perhaps: the exception of the
seemed in some places to be felt
. He pronounced glowing and well deser
ed veulogium upon -the character of Presi
den t Tillmorei and expressed the opinion that
the' executive would enforce the Fugitive
Slave lawcalling if necessary any portion of
the militia of the Union into service for that
purpose. The compliment to Fillmore brought
nown ujq snoK enuiuuasuc applause irom
both Whigs and DemocraU. v
He alluded to the formation of a new party,
saying that when the question of Union was
at stake, all such measures of policy, as a
Distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands, an "Independent Treasury," &c., sunk

. He hoped the morion to meet would prevail
that the bill now before the House was tbe first
Reposition ever made before . anf Legislature in
orth! Carolina, to violate the plighted faith of the
State. And he considered it due to the hones and
character of the-Stat, bhherto untarnistied, that
thcBiitsbodld be proniMly sjecaed; and the-seal
of condemnation plaeed-opon this first movement
towards repudiation. ' He r pressed surprise that
this movement should coini trom the County of.
Wayne; that the census r rnaeihibit a greater
increase in population and wealth in that County,
within ten years, than sny other within the State,
except the County of Hew Haoorer, and this in
crease was conceded on all sides, to be attributa
ble to the works of internal improvements in ue
cessful operation within her borders.' He, said
he. was the friend of internal . improvements, and
tavarable to the charter which this bill proposes to
repeal, and would be willing at all time and un
der all circumstances to maintain .and - defend the
views be entertained upon the question of internal
improvements, but he considered any discussion
or enquiry as to the bill originally incorporating
the North Carolina Rail Road, as not pertinent
to the issue now- before the House that a more
grave and serious question, than the consideration
of a mere appropriation of public money for a
public improvement, waa piesenled fur our deter

That the original charter was a contract between
the State and( the stockholders who comprise a

and valuable rights nave already vested under it,
and any proposition . interfering with the due as
sertion and exerciae of those rights ia in direct
conflict with the constitution of the United States,
which provides that no State shall pass any law
impairing the obligation of contracts. He said,
he did not propose to discuss this constitutional
question, for, the objection to tbe passage of the
bill upon that ground, seemed to him, so palpa
ble, and self erident, as not to require the aid
of arguntenl or illustration to enforce it , but
he placed bis opposition upon even higher
grounds than this. He insisted that the passage
of the bill would be a direetand positive repudia
tion oa the part of the StMe oa solemn contract,
and would justly degra Je her ia the estimation
of her own citizens' ajjiif of the civilized world.
He argued that the con tracts of the Slate made
with her own citizens', were of as binding force
and obligation, as those made with the people of
a foreign government, aniTthat a breach of her
plighted engagements, in -any ease, or for any
cause, would brand her with dishonor, and subject
ber to deserred contempt and degradation, tiesaid
thai (without intending any personal disrespect
to l be representatives from Wayne,) he hoped the
proposition would meet with general reprobation,
aud that (besiae tbe Wayne delegation,) the whole
House, irrespective ot their opinions touching tne
original bill now proposed to be repealed, would

REMARKS OF MR. McLEAN.
; Ufa Srr t rva I aiiu tA tmr tha linrw. that
bill introduced by the gentleman from Wayne
(Mr.- Shervd) may be rejected on its nrst reading.
The passage of that bill, in my hnmble judrrmeiit,
would be in otter disregard and violation of the
Constitution of the United States. That instru
ment deelarcs that no State shall pass " any law
impairiru? tbe obligation of contracts" and Sir,
we are not left in the dark as to the true meaning
of that clause of Uie Constitution, for a construc
tion has been placed upon it by the highest Judi
cial tribunal of our government, in the eelebrak-d
ease of the Dartmouth College. Now, bu, take
the bill before us it proposes to repeal the charter
of the North Carolina Kail-Road Company, and
that too after all the stock, has been taken, the
five per cent, paid in by the Stockholders as re
quired by the Charter aitd after the Company have
been organized. Therefore, it seems to me, Sir,
that thd contract, the State on the one part and the
Stockholders, on the other part, is now complete,
and baa become a sealed compact How then can
we paaa Uus bul which proposes to impair the ob
ltgatioruof this contract, without , trampling under
foot the Federal Constitution, disregarding the de
cision of the supreme Court of ihe U. a. and vio
lating the plighted faith of North Carolina. The
gentleman from Wayne (Mr. Brogden) proclaim
ed it aloud that he ia ready to march up and face
the music. Sir, I desire to see him march up to
this constitutional tone and meet the constitution
al obligation to this bill. Will he do so !
It has been intimated on this floor, that fraud
has been committed by tbe Stockholders and that
the terms of the Charter hare not been complied
with. I would respectfully aak gentlemen, bow
has any fraud been committed ! In what parti.
eolara baa the Charter not been complied with f
Sir, lean say to the gentleman from Warn, fMr.
Brogden) in answer to the intimation of fraud on
the part of the Stockholders that into their conduct
they invite the stnclot scrutiny and defy the oil
trrrt malice. It seems to me, Sir, that it comes
with a bad grace from the gentlemen from Wayne,
to be attempting to destroy the project ofa north
Carolina RaS-Road: whv.Sir. for man v rears have
the gentlemen's constituents enjoyed the benefit of
the Wilmington and Raleigh Road, and w hat baa

REMARKS OF MR. MIZELL, '

. As I am called upon to record my vote on the
motion to reject this bill, and shall vote for its re
jection. I desire to Male the reasons why I do so.
Sir, I do so, because as tbe question bow stands
before as, I deem the bill unconstitutional, and
that it would be a gross violation, oa the part of
the faith of the State, to repeal the Act of tbe last
Legislature incorporating the Central Rail Road.
But 1 do not see, if the stockholders .of the said
Road have commit led a fiaud, as has been sug
geaied by some, and the faith of . tuo State would
not be violated by a repeal, why gentlemen should
express so much surprise at aa attempt 00 tbe
pah of those who oppose tbe Road to repeal. Sir,
u is accessary to recur lb tbe passage of the bill at
tbe last Session of the Legislature, to ascertain
whether such a course ia justifiable or not. , It is
incorporated in our Bill of Rights, which ia made
a pm of our Constitution, thai the People ahall
not be taxed without their consent, or tne consent
ot their representatives ireety expressed, and it ia
well know mat at tbe time the Bill incorporating
this load was passed, at tbe 'hurt Session, it was

The only questions properly arising under the Bill

thatfhas alrcadv been discussed by tbe gentleman

meet with favor at the hands of any considerable por

that a proposition to blot the fair escutcheon of our

Sir, I again aav to bit friend from Craven, that
however much I might, under ordinary circumstances,
be willing to see the engineer hoist by hu own pe

REMARKS OF MIL EATON,
or wiaaEK.
I cannot for a moment suppose that the House
of Commons can entertain any serious doubts up
on tbe question now under consideration. The
bill introduced bv the gentleman iroro Wayne pro
poses a repeal of the charter cf the North Carolina
Rail Road Company. I am very decidedly op
posed to any such measure and am very clearly
of the opinion that we have no right whatever to
adopt it. The public faith of tbe Slate has been
pledged to tbe stockholders of ibis Company, that
they shall bold and enjoy tbe rights and privileges
cooler red upon them in the Act of the last session.
A repeal of ihe Act of incorporation by the pres
ent General Assembly would be in my judgment
a clear, plain and palpable violation of the hon
or of North Carolina and ber plighted faith. It
would also be in direct and manifest conflict with
the Constitution of the United States which we
bsve sll sworn to support. Tne 10th Section of
the Federal Constitution prohibits the States from
passing any law impairing the obligation of
cuoiracis." a cnarter is a contract between tbe
State and the individuals who may subscribe for
stock in tbe Company and the Stale haa no more
constitutional right te annul and set sside such
sn engagement, than she would have to violate
any other contract or agreement whatever. If a
Judicial exposition were necessary upon this sub
ject to enlighten our minds as to tbe true meaning
of the 10th Section of the Constitution of the if.
Stales, auch an exposition may be easily obtained
by any gentleman who may wish for light upon
the subject. It haa been expressly decided by the
Supreme Court of the United Slates that a State
baa no power to repeal a charter. I had suppos
ed that in our own State, tbe sentiment was al
most universal that charters and contracts of even
kind are sacred and inviolable, and that this As
sembly is prohibited from touching tbem with an
unfriendly band, and such I now believe to be
tbe opinion of the bar of North Carolioa.Tvith
wareeiy a single exception so far as I am acquain
ted wiib it. ' If however we had the authority to
violate tbe public engagements, if tbe iundsmentsl
law of the land bad not covered them with tbe
shield of iu protection, we ought not to desire from
moral coasMerainn aad a sense of justice and
right to pass any law impairing the obligation of
contracts oi any una, i nokl my sell bound m
honor to fulfil my private contracts, to the best
of my sbility, smJ majy opinion tny - personal
honor aa well aa my, representative duty require
of me while a member -of this Hoose to endeavor
with equal fidelny by my votes to secure a faith
ful and punctilious fulfilroeat of all Slate contracts,
debut and liabilities. I was not a member of the
Legislature when tbe Act Was passed now pro
posed to be repealed. If t bad been, I should
have voted for k. 1 am in favor of the North
Carolina Rail Road ' and" have teen since' the
scheme waa first-suggested.. If, however, ray
sentiments' had been adverse to the measure iu
the first instance, I should still be very decide
dly opposed to a repeat. The subject of tne North
Carolina Rail Road waa considerably' discussed
during 'ihe canvass in mv County last summer.
Some of the people of Warren were violently op
posed 1o h, and very deeply regretted the pas
sage of the Act incorporating the Company' and
authorizing a subscription on the part of, the
State of two 'millioae of dollars upon the terms
specified in the charter, and they probably have
not changed their sentiments upon the subject.
My opinion is that the majority is favorable to
tbe North Carolina Rail Road among my consti
tuents.' There is certainly however a considera
ble portion of the citizen oMVarren County op
posed to it, and some of them probably aa much
so as any in t! State. No one of the candidates
advocated a repe&l of the act of the last session,
and if there is a maa in my "county who would
give die least countenance to the movement made
here again! chartered and vested rights, 1 do not
know him If the gentleman from Wayne could
succeed in .' eatiag tbe aense of the people at
the polls upon this subject as he pressed a
wish to do, in-my; opinion he will scarcely, find
one solitary Individual in &e County of Warren
ready to trample vpoa the constitution of the
cntry and the public fa.;h pf repf
K..I toad Charier. We tave;.t:r t w.at the
Cc -Pny has not complied with the t- -3 of the
act. Ifn were conceded that fit bad r ', bead
ml 'lop'could furnish t e advocates tf . rcal With
no justification or apology for their .course, be
cause the time allowed to the Company for that
purpose has not vet transpired. If the Company
doeanoieomply'with the terms of the act, so as
to entitle itaeif to the benefit of the State's sub
seriptioo, the tressurer will not deliver to the Com
pany the Stste bonds and there can be no danger.
Whenever an application is msde for the State
bonds, whether the Company is enutled to have
them issued, or.not. will be a matter of judicial
and not legislative decision. It will be for the
judiciary to interpret the law,' and to declare what
may be the rights of the parties according to its true
intent aud oieauiog. . - .a j--.' i.

UL fWmi It ia exeeedinely fJiahionable ill
our eourrtjy, and haa become so in thia House, for;
gentlemen is ijim meir posiuuii. vr"
occasion. I feel it due to myself and those whom
I representlhat the, vpte which I am about to giye,
shonlU be accorcpanied with an explanation.
I hold it to he sound doctrine, that the repre
sentative should reflect the will of his eonstituenU
when that will is.known. If, therefore, tlie propo
sition was to irrautan original charter to this eonw
pany, isnouia mosinnnewiaungiv oi p;iu i,
however strongly as an individual I might' desire
ita establishment, and however well I mieht be
convinced of its expediency; In doing so I should
be acting as a faithful agent' reflecting the wishes
of those whose mouth-peice I am 'upon tbia floor.1
The views of my constituents upon this Subject,
are known to me. They regarded this expenditure
of the public money as extravagant, as hazarding
too much in an experiment of doubtful success.
Thev are not as some snpooscopposed to all works
of improvement, neither hare they fceftt jrepreaen-
tanves nere notding uiese extreme o: ...ions. ; xuy
colleague upon tlus floor and mysell, avowed the
doctrine that we were in favor of a "judicious sys
tem" of Internal Improvement, and avowing that
doctrine, we were honored with a seat in this
body.
I am proud to say, Mr. Speaker, that I represent
an enlightened people who do not desire me to
commit an act of moral turpitude, one which I
cannot justify to my own conscience now, and to
my God hereafter. . ..
The Bill under consideration proposes to do an
act, which, in my opinion, is unconstitutional It
propose to repeal a charter, to violate ah agree
ment entered into by the sovereign State of North
Carolina with her own citizens.
The first oflicuil act done by each of us in this
Hall was to subscribe a solemn oath to support
the Constitution of the United States. The first
clause of the tenth section of the first article of
that instrument declares thai no State shall pass
nny law impairing the obligation of contracts."
This Bill proposes in my judgment to do what
that Constitution forbids what the good faith of
the State forbids what cannot be done without
tarnishing the fair fame of our good old mother. I
shall therefore vote to reject the Bill it pen its first
reading, for we have no right to permit an Uncon
stitutional Bill to be treated with that common
courtesy extended to other measures involving
questions of mere expediency.
The gentleman from Martin ha?, in my opinion,
fallen into a fatal error upon this subject. If I
understood him correctly, he asserts the power of
this Legislature to withhold the Slate's subscrip
tion if there has teen any fraud on tbe part of the
stockholders; that the State, being a mere partner,
has a right to withdraw from the partnership. This
doctrine I hold to be erroneous. The Stale, under
such circumstances, would have a remedy, but it
would be a judicial one. I! the stockholders have
or shall hereafter violate their charter, the proper
Stste officers will, by a writ of qwt warranto, re
quire (lie Companv to answer and show cause
why their charter shall not be forfeited; and upon
sufneient evidence ihe Courts will declare that the
franchise hss beep forfeited. Otherwise, the State
through its Legislature would be tbe trier of a
fact in a auil to which it was itself a party.
I say again, Mr. Speaker, I cannot consent to
do an act which will do violence lo mv own coo-
science and dishonor ihe home of my affections. -

REMARKS OF MR. CALDWELL,
Or Gtrnxoan.
Mr. SrtiKES : I deeply regretted to bear the
gentleman from Wayne say that he had nootber
motive for introducing ihe Bill that has just been
read-in our Itearing, than to make a party test and
lo see if gentlemen, when they were found to
speak out, would have the nerve to stand up and
record their votes aa they have heretofore done.
I say I regret, deeply regret that the gentleman
should have thought it his duty to pursue, the
course he hss pursued this morning,. This rs no
pany question. It is one too big with importance
to the people ofNorth Carolina, to be made a par
ty question aye, sir, it lies too near'wty heart, to
your's and my honorable friend's over the way, to
be forced or tortured into a question of party. It
is one of life or death lo the people of North Car
olina, and as auch, should, and I trust wilt, rally
to iu support tbe high minded and honorable men
of both political parties. This question, 1 repeat,
cannot be made to take the turn that the gentle
men from Wayne wish to giye iu. Both parties
aided in passing the Charter, and have since har
moniously toiled together in- obtaining subscrip
tions and securing this great i Stale work. -And
now that there ia an effort being made to destroy
it, and give the question or Internal Improvement
in the State a party bearing, 1 trust 'in God we
will all come up, with a fixed determination'-to
unite our voices as one man, in frowning, down
this unconstitutional attempt to make the subject
a pany question. It should be done and now that
we have a fair opportunity, I hope that it will be
done! Let ua but do it, gentlemen, and North
Carolina will soon be great and her people united,'
prosperous and happy, from one extreme of the
State jo the other, .Yvho can refuse to act in such
a way as to encourage these great results for our
beloved old State 7 Not oue, I trust! - T ?

When this.Cejtral &d.JM Vpaslol the
last Legislature, it struck me among others with
surprise, - Had I been a member of that veesitm,
all my feeble energies would have been directed
against it. . Were-the Bill now introduced I would
do all I could against it It waa passed as the off
spring of neither political party. Neither party
would have dared alone to take that resrxmsibility.
I look upon it as tbe offspring produced by the un
fortunate union of both parties. I look upon it as
the most suicidal and disastrous step in the history
or North Carolina Legislation. ' "
But,' sir, the faith of the State stands pledged on
thia matter. , The constitution which we have
sworn to support will be clearly and distinctly vi
olated if we now, against the wish of the stock
holders, repeal thia charter. ' .The gentleman from
Martin seems to think that because the Bill nasaed
two years ago by a majority less than one half of
we wnole number of the members of the Legisla
ture, therefore it is not to be regarded as to ail in.
tents snd purposes, ;the law of the land.' No posi
tion could be more erroneous. ; It is ar moch the
law and the faith of the State, stands -as much
pledged as If every member of . the Jaat Ge'neral
Assembly had voted for it" 'Again the gentleman
from Martin says that we have a . right to repeal
this Act, because the stockholders have not com.

now to raise this question. The act gives the

MR. GILMER'S RESOLUTIONS.
Renolved That the people of North Carolina cherish
a deep attachment, and loci a loyal aevotwo to ine
Union of tlie States, and in the opinion of this General
Assembly will never give their consent to a dissolu
tion of that Union, except in a casef extreme neces
sity, which lias not vet occurred. -i: ' vhifk our boDCS
and wishes for our Country, forbid us tV thmk will oc

Rrtolred That in tlie scries of measures adopted
by tbe Congress cf the United States at their last e-
sttn Kir me wniemem h uie agitation iuvug ai
of the institution of slavery, the General Assembly re
cognise a compromise and adjustment ..of .questions
dimcult and alanninir in their character and tendency
and as such, these measures have, in the . opinion of
the General Assembly, tbe. approval, and will com
mand tbe hearty support, of the people of North Car
olina. '.' .
Jiemlrxd, That while the people of this state ap
prove and will sustain as a whole, this series of mea
sures, yielding objections, which they may have to any
particular of the series, they have a right to expect
and do expect, and will insist upon, a like support of
the whole, and like yielding of objections to any, par
ticular measure in those portions of the Union in
which that is esteemed objectionable, which : by the
people of North Carolina L regarded as important and
valuable ; and while North Carolina thus discharges
from patriotic love of the Union and the Constitution,
and a solemn conviction of the inestimable value to
the whole country,' and to the world, .of our Constitu
tional Union her whole duty m the premises, she can
fides in the same patriotic and Just seutunenta, influ-
enctrar the great bodv of tbe American people r
like performance of their whole doty in every State
and portion of tlie Uuion. ''
Remdved, That tbe act passed at the last session of
Congress, commonly called tbe fugitive slave law, is
m exact accordance -with the tjoostitntion, just and
fair in each and all its provision, and entirely eunsi
tent with tbe usages of law ia other eases of a like
kind, and therefore is liable to no objection, which
does not he against the Uoostitntion itself. That to
repeal it, or malenally'alter its ra-oVisious, would be
an act of injustice and bad faith, well calculated; to a
lann the whole of the slave-boiding State, to destroy
then confidence in the honesty and fair purpose of the
people ef the States eoneurrmg b such repeal or al
teration, and produce such alienation and distrust
would render the further maintenance of the Union,
very dimcuit,unot utterly impossible! :,.;-, - rj
