How will our whig friends reconcile their
parly now with their parly then There is
no chance for it, by pretending to see a
difference, between Congress and our As
sembly upon this point. Although the Con
stitution of the United StaUs gives to
Congn ss, the power tr exercise exclu
sive legislation in all cases whatsoever"
over the District of Columbia, it was the
Southern doctrine (especially of the whig
party) that this did not and does not confer
the power of emancipating slaves. W by !
Because the power of setting slaves free
without their owners consent is not. a "lo
gislative power," and no sane man believes
that the consent of the owners, ever will
be given freely. This is all very well.
Said the wdiig party in 1S36, as Con gress
possesses no power over the District 'but a
"legislative" one, and that does not in
clude the right to abolish slavery; there
fore, it is outrageous in Members of Con
gress, to permit Abolition petitions to be
received and lie on the table. Agreed!
with all my heart agreed. But, then I ask
w hat powers bad the Legislature of North
Carolina, except those of "legislation
in all cases," and if that does not include
the right to abolish slavery in the one case,
neither can it do so in the other. On vvhi'r
principles, a petition to abolish slavery in
N. Carolina, is no more entitled to be re
ceived and lie on the table of our Assem-
Ibly than one to abolish slavery in the Dis-

Look further into these Journals of 1S26
t page K'b and what tlo we see? 1 read
the words of the Journal.
"The bill to prevent Free persons of
"color Ir
om migrating into this State, and
''lur the good government of such persons
-in the State, and for other purposes was
"read the Od time. (Here follow several
''motions to amend, which Mr. II. read)
'The bill being further amended-, was put
"on its passage, and the question being,
"shall this Bill pass its second reading,
"was determined in the ullirmativc. "
But J. M. Morehead's name is recorded
Wh it law is this? The same we now
find in the Revised Statutes of North Caro-
. .
ive under. i ne same which you wi

Agiin, in the same Journals at page 220,
we see that "The lOngrossed Bill, to pro-

J. M! Morehead voted YES!
This same bill to prohibit trading with

" The bill was read as amended, put on

"live
But Mr. Morehead's vole is recorded
A 07 And what law is this. The same
we now have, w hich you can see in your
Rcviscd Statutes
I read also at page 138, "Mr. Morehead
with leave, presented a Hill to emancipate
Slaves o:i certain conditions." See Note
1). These are the words of the Journal.
The "cooditions" upon wliich he advoca
ted emancipation, do not appear upon these
Journals; and 1 have not had access lo the
files of rejected bills of 1S26. I will do
Mr. Morehead the justice to believe that
the condition probably was, that the eman
cipated sla ves sh ould lea vc t h is St ale. Fro
bably they were. But the people can de
cide how far it was tight in the whig party,
lo leave such a matter to conjecture! How
far the whigs do justice to their own for
mer sensibility upon the subject slavery,
by nominating a Candidate whose votes
arc favorable to the emancipation of our
slaves provided they go out of ihe State,
but at the same time not favorable to pro
hibiting the migration of Free negroes
from other States, into North Carolina!
How far the whigs have sustained their
presumptuous censures upon us, their op
ponents by nominating a Candidate in a
Southern State at the present crisis, who
was the advocate for emancipation upon
any conditions whatever.
But again, we find Mr. Morehead a
member of the Assembly of 1S27, and at
pare 207, of the Journals of the Commons
of Thai year, I see these words. Hear!
"Mr. Morehead from the Judiciary
'Committee, to whom was referred the
"resolution instructing them to inquire

iSow the reasons of this report are no!
spread upon die Journals, but as it was

light! If it does you will j'idge of it fop
yourselves.
A fixed determination not to be disres
oeet'ul to .Mr. Moreh-al, restrains me
trom any lunii"r comment upon some o!
these votes. I dare say he might be able to
ue'end h:s- cause, and certainly he could
do so to re" willing cars. That however
is not the point. I may safely say this much
and. every ho ly present will sustain if.
Had I such iwex. Did these records
register the proofs against me which I
have read to-day, I should reckon upon
the bitterest m dedications of the whig Mr
. We bdl see hereafter whe her they
vid not multiply the proofs of their in
consistency, by traducing me for this ex
posure ot the public history of my Coun-
ny, and for this examination into the con-
duci ot -a parly nomination.
()oee more. As I turn over the leaves
of .his Journal of 1S07: I am forcibly ie
nm led ot a W u m Ck kku' I saw in some
newspaper I his morning. I forget the name
of the paper, but I leeodee! it was blazoned
to the world, as a prominent article of their
Cived, that they go for reducing Execu
tive patronage by giving to the People
ihe right of choosing thdr Officers. Is
this K)?
Now the Creed like most of the modern
whig creeds, I have seen, is all a naked
prolession. It avoids any specification of
what ollieers the whigs intend to let the
P''pie chooc. I take it to be a vague ge
nerality. One of those indefinite asu
ranees of democratic sympathies, which
is never intended to be put into practice,
ilece sign ii m.
On these Journals of 1S27, at o:ge
1S, I see a commentary ready made
upon this new article of a modern whig
creed. It is this! J. M. Morehead voted
against giving the people the election of
their officers, for here is his vote recorded
against a Hill vesting in the Free ivhite
men of this Stated right to choose their
Sheriffs! 1 do not stop to approve or to
disapprove this vote. But the dullest man
in Wake, can see that this Creed of the
party and this We of the Candidate, do
not tally !
I have been constrained to go into this
detail, and thereby to make my address
more of a narrative than a speech. It
was necessary for the vindication of our
cause as well as to expose the unprecedent
your patience is wearied, I have some
thing more lo say, and as no one else seems
disposed to speak, I will proceed.
Party Clamors Sab- Treasury.
The opposition are continually crying
out that the country is rained and public
liberty endangered. You know better.
This has been a standing song of the op
position ever since I can recollect, ami his
tory inf jrms me that it was a favorite one
with the Federalists during our last war,
and wiih the monarchists during our rev
olution. There is no danger that we sh-dl
he ruined, none whatever. All the politi
cians, Whigs and Democrats together, could
not ruin such a people and such a country
as ours, and as for our liberty, all of them
together cannot rob us of it. True, it is,
the utmost vigilance should be preserved,
lest, an undue portion of popular rights!
I III I C. . 1 I I A . I
should no sioieu irom me. peopie, oui mere
is no great peril from any other quaiter.
Whut your supineness and a long acquies
cence in the usurpations of associated
wcallli might do towards changing in prac
tice, the essential features td American
freedom no one can tell, but the very fact
that the enemies of popular rights steal
democratic names and appeal to democra
tic sympathies, n order to turn out our
Rulers and turn in themselves, are comfor
ting proofs that wc are still secure.
Yes! "Turn out your Rulers" is another
cry of these modern whigs. Shall wedo it?
Why? What has Mr. Van Buren done to
deserve this? Why should we put in these
noisy Whigs? What will the office-seekers
do if we were to gratify them? Ah! Bui
the President has recommended the Sub
Treasury. This is the head and front of
his offence! And what is this Sub-Treasury?
Consult your common sense my country
men, and let that tell you, if it is danger
ous to your liberty to separate our Hanks
from politics? If it is unsafe or unwise
for the people's money to be kepi out of
the hands of Corporation", whose parti
zans are using all their powers to lurn ibis
Government into an irresponsible Govern
ment of money, in place of a responsible!
government of men?
Mr. H. here entered into a short ex
planation of the Sub-Treasury Bill, and
said :
It is no more and no less then, than a
proposition, lhat the Government of the
it!lTittl Slates sh dl he separated from alt
Banks and all Bank inllneuce. It is not
an idle clamor against Banks raised by the
Government i.f your country that gives us
all this disturbance, but it is a concerted
effort of the Hank power of this Nation,
to put down the Idminist ration, because
it. will not go into a partnership with the
Banks and give them the money of the
Nation. What side will you lake? I an
tieip ite your reply ! This Bank influence
in our country is too great. We must
cheek it if pos-ib'e, and control it if we
can. 1 confess mv fears aic, that the Sub
Treasur v will noi he strong enough. In
stead of "destroying the B inks," (as the
Whig pretend) we tnay apprehend, that
its control ov( r ihem will be less than we
bope, much les thui others fear, and le.s
perhaps than the riglns -f the people will
ultimately require for iheir Kifety and
the best interest of tlie Republic.
But, saiil Mr. II , my intention has been
to confine myself ;s much as possible to
North Carolina, for the sayings and doings
of the whigs. Not only for the purpose
of condensing, but for the sake of refer
ring to those things only which you knou?
to be true, ami the interes'ed partizaus of
the other side, eoanot successfully contra
dict. Hank Influence in North Carolina.
I know, continued Mr. II., that the
existence of Bank influence in our State i
denied, and I have counted the cost of lif
ting my feeble voice on lhat subject. If
nothing is meant by Bank influence
short of a "system of bribery and corrup
tion," this denial is not questioned by nie.
There is a sympathy between the Banks
and the whig party however, whkh al
ways secures to that party, no trifling help
from our Banks even in North Carolina
politics. Our Bank Officers, I grant you,
are amiable, and honest, and honorable
men, and I have no reason to suspect, much
less to charge them with perverting the
money of their Institutions to 3ny party
purposes. But ihe direct interference of
a Bank, is not half so efficient in party
plans, as its indirect influences where
a community is honest, like thatrin Noitli
Carolina.
Open interference would challenge the
pride of our I rcemen, and only make their
hostility more stubborn. Hence open in
terference in our politics is not to be ex
pected at present. Here in our honest
Stale, "Me IVhig party" succeeds better
by contriving to impress the public mind
with fears that the administration is hos
tile lotbe ' chartered rights" of all Banks,
and that, creates distrust of the government
amongst most of the Stockholders. They
manage to impress the mind of the public
with a notion lhat some particular meas
ures of the Government will cripple the
Banks, and prevent them from loaning mo-
I ney to their customers. The Banks at a fit
time curtail their discounts accordingly,
and this operates somew hat upon their Z?or
rowers! They alarm the public mind with ru
mors, that the passage of the Sub Treasury,
for instance will be followed by an imme
diate surrender of our State Bank charters,
when the Banks will proceed to "wind
up their affairs." This is meant to set all the
Bank dealers to think bow far the "winding
up of the Banks," will go towards "wind
ing them up," and that has some influence
upon the political opinions of Hank Debt
ors. Our Banks surrender their charters if
the Sub-Treasury passes! No such thing.
It is not their interest to do it, and there
fore they will not think of it, after alt the
elections u?e over. And if they should.
the people will take care to recollect, that
as there were "two parties to the Bargain7
in creating ihe charters, so there must be
two lo a surrender of it.
If there were no other proof to be had,
the bare fact that in our honest State there
is any division of opinion at all upon the
question whether the Banks ought to be
coerced into a payment of their noles,under
the heaviest penalty, furnishes abundant ev
idence of the spread of bad influences on
ihe subject. It is time to speak out, and
fearlessly. Our Banks have in fact sus
pended the laws of North Carolina.
They have usurped a power which would
cost any man in ibis country his head! I
feel no hostility to ihose Institutions, or to
either of ihcm. In it legitimate sphere I
believe a Hank to be useful to the State,
and I heartily wish well to ours so long as
they do right. But then Bank privileges
were granted upon certain conditions, and
die chief of these is that the paper curren
cy they circulate shall be convertible into
Specie on demand. They enjoy the pri
vilege of ciicuLling the paper, but upon
condiiion they redeem it on demand with
specie. This is the law. It follows that
were a Bank resolves it will not pay out
its speoe, it thereby sets up a law for the
bank contrary to the laws of the State, and
in my judgment it becomes a dictate of pat
riotism to resist this usurpation. Submis
sion to it will be a virtual overthrow of the
Meat fundamental republican principle that
