All the bounties or ihe Uistnct were fully repretrcted in Cunvvntion. On motion of Kenneth Ray ner, Esq., the Chair appointed five persons to wit: Kenneth Uayner, of Hfiilurd, Jos. H Cherry sf Bertie, Francis Nixon, of Per quimons, Win. Charles, of Pasquotank, and Dennis B. rerebt-e, of Camden, to draft a series of lletolutiont exptessire of the sense of tins convention upon tho -subjects snd great interests ht stake in the coming contest. The committee hating retired for some time, brought forward the following Resolutions, which were u nanitnously adopted by the convention: Ilesolvetl, That we have an unshaken and alii ling confidence in the truth and miintenanre of those great Whig princi ples, for which we hare so long struggled, and the mcciss of which we consider to be identified with the best iutercls of our country. Retolved, That we consider (lie favorite measures and policy of the Administration as developed . in the Sub-Treasury, the warfare upun protection to American in dustry, theprngera ion of Wars of conquest by the s icrifiee of thousands of lives snd the expenditure of millions of treasure; and the bestowal of offioes of honor and profit as the mere rewards sf partisan service to be in conflict with the pro is ions ' of tfce conitit public morals, contrary t the grnius of our institutions! and in violation of all the great principles of republican liberty. Benolvtd, That the .interests of the whole Uuion ieqeire a ourrency approich ing uniformityin all its parts as nearly ss is attainable; snd a setcm of keeping and disbursing the .public money, which shall be under (he-control of the Representatives of the people, instead of the Executive. litiolvtd, That discrimination, in the imposition of duties, for the protection of American enterprise and Ameiican labor, is a doctrine sanctified to us by the ex ample of our fathers; and best calculated ta flevclopc the 4-etbutces, arid foster die prosperity of our common country. Jiteoloea, I hat the prsceedsor the sales of the Public l.ands should ... be divided among the States according to "Jt heir Federal population, for the purposes of diffusing the blessings of sducstion a- niuog v4io pwF, iinproiog nieir pnysicai condition, and relieving them from the burdens of domestic taxslion. Jieeohed, That the public offices of the Government, should be betowed upon the honest and capable, as the rewards of de votion to the country's service, of intelli gence and of virtore. Jtceolved, That we believe the present war with Mexico, was unconstitutionally eommencend by the President of the Uni ted States; and that its prosecution, if merely for the purpose of conquest and glory, is in violation of the christian spirit of the age, the rights of humanity, the soand policy of the -country, and -detrimental to the national character. Jienolvid, That whilst disapproving of the origin of this war, yet as American citixeus, we feel proud of the achievments of our commanders, their gallant officers and men, who have so nobly and patrioti cally sustained the flag of our ouutry on a foreign toil. . - Jietolved, inn -policy, hums arty and national justice require that our Govern ment should conclude a treaty or peace with Mexico, as soon ss it can be done compatibly with the national honor. JtcsulveJ, That our -congratulations and tbanks are eminently due to our distin guished Gens. Scott aad Taylor, for the gallant manner in which they have sus tained our arms, and that as a portion of; (be people, w assure them, that in despite of partisan hostility, in due time, they shall have their reward. Jlenolvtd, That we pledge ourselves individually and collectively, that wa '-'.'will use our-utmoet exertions to secure the lection of the nominee of ibis.

Hit whole soul seem ed enlisted in the cause, and with words of burning eloquence, he enchained the attention of his audience, whilst he pictured forth the causes which had resulted in the defeat of the Whig party in this Dis trict, in 1845. Then the recent defeat of Henry Clay, and the knowledge of the Whigs, that their party would be in the minority in the Congress t fiat was then to meet, occasioned that apathy which was preeminently the cause of our disgrace. But now how different is lheprospeci; all things bid fair fur the triumphant election of a sterling Whig to the Piesidency, and if North Carolina but do her duty, he felt confident that her sons of the Dth Congrrssional District, under these cir cumstances would do theirs, and ss for him, under whose lead Ike proud banner of the Whig party which had so lone- waved ia triumph over the people of this district, had been trailed in the dust, he should spare no honorable exertions, re. las no efforts, until he -had placed that standard in triumph again upon the high t-miucnce wmcn n nau net ore then occu pied.
