Resolved, That while North Careliua, in .the opinion of this Legislature, will never object to any amount oftaies, equally apportioned and imposed for the purpose of raising revenue, to support tho Government, economically adminis tered; yet this State will never consent to the imposition of taxes, the design and operation of which are to promote the interests of particular occupations at the general expense. 3. Resolved, That the Tariff Tow, passed by the present Congress," is based on protective principles, operating s a bounty to the manufacturing interests, and imposing unjust, unequal and oppressive burdens upon other branches of in dustry, and particularly those peculiar to the Southern Stoics. and that such bet'ngthe effects of this law, it is tin wise in policy dangerous to public liberty, and a perversion of that free constitution of Government, which was framed and adopted for the protection and security of all, and which will be best sustained, by the equal operation of its laws, and the' just dispensation of its benefits to every American citizen. 4, Resolved, That this law is not only protective In its character, and unequal in its operation; -but that it violates the compromise of 1833, unjustly depriving the South of the benefits of that act precisely at the period when they were to accrue to us, and Immediately jitter we had patiently snd patriotically eudured. all its bur don a; and therefore, in thQUameot honor, juslice-and-good fail h, the legislature of North Cafoltnn.do protest against this law, and insist that it should be modified, so as to place it ou the basis of rerentic dutitrs . i, RtooLvct ThaMhis Legislature do highly disapprove of tho Bankrupt law, prssed by the present Congress, irnd de sire ks immediato repeal, because it impairs the obligation of contracts, destroys confidence and credit; encourages frauds and reckless speculation, and because re believe there is scarcely a division of sentiment among the people oi. North Carolina, in their opposition to this measure. 6. Resolved, That thefino imposed upon Genindrew Jack- sou; during the late war, by Judge Hall, should, ki the -opin ion ohis Legislature, be immediately refunded, with full legal inteiest, without aay proviso or quid rficirtimi wlmtever, as an act of justice to a brave, mentortous utid diftingimhed fficer. - " ' .' . 7.

In intuitive accuracy of apprehension, in acute ness of intellect in high snd noble purpose, in a system of policy broad as the Confed eracy, and baeed on the eternal principles of equity snd public justice, where was his equal to be found? True, he was ambitions but he ever held that characteristic passion of great minds -subject to the dictates of aa snligtttcaed jjairfutiem, of constitutional lib erty and the rights of the people. Iii em inent services hud not been confined to his own State; no, nor the limits of his own country, dcatly as he loved her; they per vaded the world.

The jeulogUun here pronounced isaot without discrimidajioa. We may remark, however, that in ascribing-Washington's military successes ra ther to u the wisdom of his designs and the perseverance of hi character, thanto any extraordinary genius for the art of war the historian appears to have fallen into toe common error of less accurate observers.'

That Washington possessed all those high qualities of decision, energy quick despatch and ready invention which characterise the first order o(pfilitary he roes, is evident from- his campaign in the Jerseys, including the passsge ot the Del aware, and the battles of Trenton and Princeton, where boldness became proper.
