malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy lias preserved
hundreds of Children, w hen thought pr.st
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for if a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup irnmediaiely gives ease by open
ing the pores and healing the gums; there-
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. Si'-. i

among'tie multipiien pt oolsol mcmMstency
in this Whig party. Their later eiTorts to take
absolute control of this State, and to diive
us into a retreat from trie lomr ciicrished
principles ot iNorth Laroim i, give me this
right. Republicms are nevt-r lefeatcd
w-nen tnc people are warned ! I ellow-citi-
zens, the conduct of the W?hig leaders has
b'jen so exceedingly inconsistent, that I
have thought it might seem incredible to
many of you, and therefore I have deemed
it safer to bring with me the recorded ev
idence of their falsified piofessions. To
these records I will re'er, and to nothing
else except it nny be to a few past inci
dents, which (though not recorded) every
voter in the State recollects, and no decent
man will venture to contradict under the
sanction of his name. You shall be the
judges whether they do not falsely charge
us with their own practices.
Nothing is more common than for
them to clamor against Republicans in out
State, and charge us with faults which a
little examination jnlo the facts will re
move from tho'C they accuse, and fix upon
our whig accusers. How unmanly! How
inconsistent!
They say, for instance and they have
been repeating it for years that it" is the
practice of our party to n;ize upon all the
public offices and give them to paitizans:
and that acting upon a selush maxim, "to
the victors belong the spoils," we have
habitually proscribed political opponents.
You read these charges upon us in their
party press in their party proceedings
at caucus at conventions, and at all other
soits of Whig associations. 1 see some of
our whig friends are present, and I hope
they will stay and hear me out. They may
answer whether this charge has not been

rung in the ears ofthe people of North Car
olina for more than five years.
Now then, suppose I shew that the Re
publican party of North Carolina have not
seiz.-d upon the public offices thit they
liHve not proscribed the whig tint in fact
the Whigs ire the office-holders. Then tell
me what epithet will properly characterize
these pirty accusations by modern whig?
I will leave you to choose the language
for condemning such inconsistency, mine
shall be the task to prove' its existence.
Here are the Journ ils of vour Legislature,
beginning with 1S34 (the year I was cho
sen to represent you) and coming down
to the present time. 1 here can be no mis
take about the facts. Read! Hear! Decide
for yourselves!
PROSCRIPTION !
The Republican pirty had a clear ma
jority in 1S3I. In the Assembly of that
year the Whigs were in a minority. This
will not be denied, for it was the year
in which we re-elected Mr. I3aow. to
the s-Miato ami ins I rue fed Mr. Mangum.
Yet thes Journals tell us that. Gov. Swain
(i Whig) was not proscribed. He was re
elected! Mr. Hill (a whig) Secretary of State
was not proscribed.
The office of Treasurer was vacated by
Mr. Miioon's resignation, and the Re
publican nvijority did not seize upon it as
spoils. On the contrary, Gen. Patte it-
son (a wh g) was elected over
Republican competitor!
good
The office of Comptroller was also vacant
by the death of Mr. Grant, and this same
republic in rnaontv (iiu not seize upon
'J "spoils." On the contrary, Mr
Stcdman (a whig) was elected over a
sound republican opponent!
As in these the chief offices, so also
was it in the humbler offices. The repub
lican majority proscribed nobody, but gave
nearly ail the offices to their political op-
P'JCiiLs.

electioneering tricks of the Whig par
ry, in the Wake election of 1S35, when
an clfort was made to deprive him of the
confidence of the Democrats because he
had not been proscribing in his course to
wards w hig State officers.
Now turn to the Journals of 1S35!
Again the Republicans had a majority,
and although they had been irritated by
the violence of the Whig parly and their
unjust denunciations about "proscription,"
"spoils," "partizanship," &lc, they did
not proscribe these whirr officers. The
whig Secretary cf State was re-elected!
Tnc w hig Treasurer was re-elected!! The
whig Comptroller was re-elected!!! The
humbler officers of that year exhibit no in
stance of proscription! Not unci Aik
much the larger share of them was given to
if tins aspirants. True. Gov. Swain
being no longer eligible to his office, Rich'(
Dobbs Spaight was chosen Governor in
his stead, and I need not remind you what
party proscribed him, nor is it necessary
I should shew that he was ousted for a
tlifl" rence in politieal opinion, and for that
alone!
Now look at the Journals of 1S3G

tell us h,w every member voted, and as
the Whig had a majority in the Senate
and the Reoublicans a ma oritv in the
Lommons, we snail oe ante to compare
their acts together. Here it is! Compare
the one with the other, and then judge be
twixt thern.
This Whig Senate proscribed their
Speaker (Mr. Moseley) because he was
a Republican, and for that cause alone!
They turned out an able and expeiienced
officer, against whom thr.y had no charge
except his politics, for he was personally
a lavorite of both sides. J hey proscribed
an upright and impartial Speaker merely
for the sake of giving his place (spoils")
lo a Whig!
Look back to 1S34, and compare this
Whig Senate of 1836 with the Republican
Commons of 1S3-1. The latter re-elected
Mr. Alexander (a whig) without a contest!
Nay more! Although the Republican
Commons of 1S3G were thus irritated
afresh by this Whig proscription of the
Senate and by an unsuccessful attempt of
this whig party in the Commons to pro
scribe the old Speaker there also, still the
Republican party in the Commons did not
proscribe any of their IVhig officers.
But it may be said that the Republican
party had a majority in Joint vote, and they
proscribed the whig ollicers of State. No!
What! not turn any of them out after
this intolerance ofthe whig party towards
the republicans? No not one of them On
the contrary the old officers were re elected
and nearly all the vacant places were filled
with whig office-holders! Here arc the
recorded facts. Listen!
The whig Secretary of State was re-elected!
The office of Comptroller was va
cated by the resignation of Mr. Stedman,
and Mr. Collins (another whig) was put
in his place! Four Judges of the Su
erior Court were elected JVhigs!!
balurday, June 13 1840
- Ta-.-,
Three Solicitors were elected, and two of
them whigs!
I do not overlook the fact that Gen.
Patterson resigne I his office of Treasurer
in 1S.33, and that Mr. Couits a R?pn!)Ii
cit-, w a in ins piace. it is also
true, that Mr. Courts got a large number
of whig votes. Candor however, com
pels me to v ithold from that pirtv anv
credit fortius instance of apparent liber
ality. Mr. Courts' republican friends,
were unwilling to see him quit his post in
the Legislature, as it might destroy our
republican majority in the Commons, and
therefore, many of them preferred to no
minate some other person.
Nobody distrusted him, all .vere willing
to confide in him, and he Was worthy ol
that confidence. But I leave it with you
to decide how far the whigs who suppor
ted him were inllueneed or not by the
very same reasons which kept oil' his re
publican associates. Take it however, that
they were, in this instance, disin
teresteland free of party-spirit, and yet.,
it is no more than a solitary example!
it those wh ) are accustomed to rely
upon thee general denunciations of our
whig opponents, ag un look at these Jour
nals of 1S3G!
They begin with whig proscription.
They continue, and end with it! Thev
begin with Republican liberality to oppo
nents. They continue, and end with the
same !
If there be one incredulous man amongst
you after hearing the language of facts
like these, I ask him to turn to the Jour
nals of 1S33. Here the whig party had
a majority in both houses of the Assembly,
and recollecting, if you please, how they
have professed to contemn the "spoils
of office," come and see their con
sistency. These Journals will answer
whether they did not lake 'the Lion's
share." Hear!!
In the Legislative Department.
Both the Speakers whigs!
AW the Clerks but two are whigs!
5 whigs and 2 Democrats. Even an
Engrossing Clerk is proscribed and not
allowed to labor for his "Whig Masters,"
because forsooth, he was a Democrat!!
Major Thomas, lately a citizen of Wake,
and a good Clerk too, was the victim of this
pariy malice!
In the Executive Depart ??ienl.
The Governor a whig, and his Secre
tary "Ditto."
The Secretary of State, a whig.
The Comptroller of State, Ditto.
Seven Councellors of State, all whigs.
The Treasurer of State, was the only
Republican amongst them, and since that
period he has resigned, and his place is
now filled by another whig!
So it seems that the office-holders in
this Department, arc whigs ull! Demo
crats none!!
In the Judicial Department.
There are 7 Superior Court Judges
5 wliigs, and only 2 Democrats.
There are G Solicitors 5 whigs! 1 De
mocrat !
There is an Attorney General, and he is
Democrat.
Who then are "the Office holders?"
Who "seize the spoils?" Who abuse
office and hold it themselves? The people
who are honest, want no answer to such
questions, except that which these RE
CORDED PACTS furnish.
Iiayners Resolutions.
But the inconsistency (not to say more)
of this party does not stop here. Indeed
it isdifiieuit to look back upon any past
political event in our Stale, since this
modern whig party cast oil oilier names
and assumed their present one, without
seeing some evidence of their inconsis
tency. Who docs not recollect, how this whig
party every where in our Mate, surrcu
up hostility to the Assembly of 1S34,
(the republican majority) for instructing
Mr. juangum, our senator in v,ougruss.r
It was called persecution and proscription
a pirty attempt to put down a gentleman
of distinction, and ask him to degrade
himself. Such was the substance if these
were not the words of their accusations
against the Legislature of 1S34. Such is
their reproof against us still. I wish that
my strength and jour patience could allow
me to review that matter ot the "Instruc
tions to Mr. Mangum.'7 It has been great-
y misunderstood if not misrepresented,
will do it, should a lit opportunity offer.
Jut at present: Let it be admitted, that
the whig party are all sincere in their con-
lemnalion ofthe ISIangum instructions;
Let it be admitted, that they (the whigs)
are rbdit in this and that the whole was
ndecd proscribing and wrong altogether,
and then what will they make out of their
own t'lluyner llesolulions?" Will any
candid man amongthem, tell us what the
"Rayr.cr Resolutions" deserve to be cal
led, if the Instructions to Mr. Mangum
were any persecution and proscription of
the man. If it "was illliberal, persecu
ting and proscribing to instruct Mr. Man-
To. ATI Xo 24.
gum to strike out a censure which he had
gone out of his way and out of the Consti-
j Union, to affix to Jackson, when all the
world knows,'h it Mr. Mangum was elected
h the Senate as a JACKSON MAN,
What epithet should honest politicians ap
ply to the "Rayncr Resolutions," which
were intended to force Mr. Brown, and
Mr..Vrr?(our two Senators) into direct
treachery against their own party against
their own opinions and agiiust the
people of i he State, who, (light or wrong)
Ind thrice aporoved of the Course which
the Rayner Resolutions" denounce and
ask our Senators to reveise?
I see hov men may differ about tho
Mangum Instructions, and 1 underhand
how some men honestly approve and
others have honestly condemned them. I
do not mean to complain, of this. But, how
any man of ordinary intelligence can con
demn the Mangum-Intruciions in such
terms as I h ive alluded to, and then turn
round and advocate the Rayner Resolu
tions," does indeed excite my special won
der. When a whole nartv do it. thev must
expect that public intelligence will put this
and that together and judge accordingly.
Is the e no reason to apprehend that such
inconsistency would be practised only for
the sake of vacating places, so as to make
room for others to fill them? For you
see that our review of the last five years
has already shown us, how, with our whig
assembly men, in any scramble for office,
"Every whig does his duy."
The IVhig Convention.
But, I must hasten, to a review of the
political doings of a later assemblage of
whigs! I mean the whig Convention,
which met and adjourned in our City last
week. It may or may rot, be a CaucuSy
but no matter about that, if it is only con
ceded to me, (as must be,) that this was
"The whig party of North Carolina, by
their Representatives met together" This
highly respectable body of politicians have
just promulgated their conclusions, and al
though the grounds of them are yet un
published, it is at once our right and our
duty to look into their resolutions. The
"whereas" will no doubt be made known
in good time. The "Resolutions" arc
before the world, and they exhibit a de
gree of inconsistency in their leaders
which no ingenuity can defend and.no so
phistry excuse. I will compare some of
their past professions with their present
proceedings and I doubt, if the people of
their own ranks can ever sanction the
latter. They cannot do it, without con
demning the past.
This w hig Convention then, have nomi
nated Henry Clay or President! John M.
Morehead for Governor! I And though
there is a little obscurity about it, the party
may be regarded as pledged for N. P.
Tallmadgc for Vice President!!!
Henry Clay for President! Wlro, I
ak, hive heretofore charged Mr Clay
with bribery and corruption? Have you
forgot'en the accusation or the accusers?
And do the accusers of Mr. Clay, who
are now become leaders of the whig
party, intend to confess that they slander
ed Mr. Clay and persevered in it for years,
and si ill count upon being credited by
you for their more recent imputations a
gainst our President and his supporters?
If they calumniated Mr. Clay then, how
are we to know how can the people
know, that they are not now also libelling
Mr. Van Butcn? What a spectacle is
here! Politicians! North Carolinans! who
stand amongst the most prominent par
tisans of the whig ranks, who take lead
at their meetings, who manage at their
Caucuses, and who aspire to the chief pla
ces in the gift of their part-, doing homage
to a statesman whom they have so lately
denounced as a Traitor lo the people
another Judas who sold his vole for the
spoils of office! Where is any apology
for this change of position?
Further yet: When Henry Clay was thus
assailed (w hether the accusation Was true or
false, it docs not now concei n me lo inquire)
when his present admirers, but so lately
his bitter accusers, Called upon the people
of North Carolina to come to the polls and
rogister their dctes'ation of Mr. Clay and
his bargain with Mr. J. Q. Adams, and
to shew their love and gratitude to Gen.
Jackson, who was chosen as their agent
and instrument to record this condemna
tion of Mr. Clay? I have here the Central
address and the names of t lie Jackson
Electors of 182h! 1 find amongst the Elec
tors' names, that of Mr. John M. Alore
hcad of Guilford. lie was elected. He
and his associates, met in this City, and
recorded the vote of North Carolina a
gainst Mr.Clav and ibis bargain. And now
what is it we st ? The whig parly of ilie
State have presented us a Ticket with
Uenry Clay fur President and this same
Mr. Morehead for Governor! Even so,
these party leaders have coupled on the
whig ticket of IS40, the names of Henry
Clay and John M- Morehead! This is ex
traordinary enough.
I suppose they will ask the people to re
verse their former decision, & to falsify this
