Tuesday after noon, 3 o'clock.
The Convention mot according to ad
journment. Gen. Allison, on behalf of the Commit
lee of twenty-six, presented ihe following
Report and Resolutions:
The ficqnent recurrence to fundamental
principles of Government is essential not
oidy to ihe duration of our Institutions,
hut to the preservation of liberty. One of
these great principles, is, that a careful ex
amination of the actions of agents who ate
entrusted with tie affairs of the people is
always useful and proper. We, a portion
of the people of the State of North Caroli
na, have examined the principles and ac
tions of those who conduct the present ad
ministration of our affairs and we feel much
dissatisfaction w ben we view the open and
unblushing violation of every principle and
pledge by which they were elevated into
power and place. Wercadinthe Inaug

the reins of power intrusted to him by the
merien ti neonie. that 4it was the rpm:irk
of a Roman Consul in an early per iod 0

of candidates for offices of power and trust

pledges and promises made in the form

this most instructive page of history before
him, we would profit by its useful lessons;
and that some of ihe numerous pledges and
profuse promises which deluded a confid
ing and generous people, would certainly
be realized The people were promised
that in the economical habits, and patriarch
al simplicity of an inmate of a log cabin,
they would see the days of republican utili
ty and r igid economy. Look at the ex
penditure of S000in one brief month, for
furniture lo be alded to thai which, if the
Whigs were believed, already rivalled the
extrav agance and luxury of European mon
archy. Was this a violation of ihe pledge?
or was ihe promise only made to the ear,
io be broken to ill a hope?" Was the
outlay of more than 53000 at the burial of
the Piesident. fur silk gloves, mourning
scarfs, and whips and carriage hire, in strict
conformity to the promise of eeonomy and
reform? Was the calling of a.n extra ses
sion of Congress at an enormous expense
of our money, whose deliberations all end
ed in debates and extravagance, in faithful
keeping with this promise? Was the do-

When these things pies upon the hon

ages and in ail countries soficr deeper, ami
longer, and more intolerably than any oth-jr
er class, they feel how wofuily they have
been betrayed, antl how (let p and dark

When the deceived people, in States
where the elections have occurred, have
demanded of these Rulers the summing of
this account, and called on these faithless
stewards for an account of their steward

have their answers been received? They
reply, the act of God took from us our
President; thus taking impious shelter un
der the dispensation of providence for their
own broken promises, and faithless deeds.
Although (Jen. Harrison is dead, is bis

people know that this would be no relief
Irom the hardness ot the limes or the mis

by an exposure of a Rank, once so much j devclopemenl of Whig principles, afford
ihe idol ofthe Whigs, that its President,' niosl favorable opportunity which ever

offended the senses ol every honest man, popular reprobation on the whole system
Whig or Democrat; and the grand jury ol
the county in which he resides have coup
led his name v ill) that of ihe abandoned
swindler. In looking back on the past.
how much has Democracy reason lo be
conscious of the strength and truth of her
principles; and her sons rejoice in the
name! In the eloquent language 'of the
Democratic lit-pubiican members of the
Legislature of North Carolina on the 2d
Jan. 1S39" we lead, "The history of the
last six years has been but Jitilemure than
a content ol the Rank ami its adherents to
deceive, or to compel the Government to
grant a renewal of its powers. The quiet
of the ptople has been disturbed the or
tler of a good government has been imped
ed Ihe purity of the press has been cor
rupted the authority of tlie Constitution
sel at defiance, by the influence of the last
National Rank." When just on the eve
of the election of 1S3-2, while its charter
had yet years to run, led on by the pride
of a Dictator, and sustained by tbe votes of
debates and pensioned agents in all its
pomp and power, that sterling Democrat,
vJndi ew Jackson, with an eye, which in
the cause of his country ne er slumbered,
and a hand that never trembled, told h
countrymen by his veto, of its dangerous
powers and corrupting influences. Many
good men doubted. Rut how has Histon
and experience proved the wisdom ol
Jackson? Rut in ihe language of the ad
dress above alluded to,"iu all these thing

and minions to applaud its course." First

It is not to be expected that the great
principles that animate tbe Democratic
Party j or the faithless promises, ihe cor

ot ihe parly" iu power are Jo be developed
in this preamble. VVe leave that lo other
and more sit table occasions. We think
lhat the p 'op'e of N. Carolina demand a
change of the present Executive, who
came into office with promises of great
benefit to the people, hot who has not done
a single act lhat merits the approval of his
countrymen, and the sum and substance of
who-e boa-ted talents consists in using tlie
patronage of the government in creating
family provision fur himself and his See
tary
1. Ilcsolve.d, Th it the administrations
b -th of ihe Sta e and Federal Governments'
exhibit another lamen'able instance of tbe
liuih of history that "a most striking COn-ir.i.'-t
is ob-ervable in the conduct of candi
dates for o 'Iices f power and trust, before
and after obtaining them they seldom
tarrying out in the latter case the pledges
and promises made in the former."
2. Resolved, That this Conventibn re
gard the leading measures of the Whig
party at the laic Extra Session of Congress!
aseminently unconstitutional, and subver
sive ofthe Republican principles of our
Government, and justly meriting the deep1
and decided rt probation which they have
received from the suffrages of an indignant
people
3. Resolved, That we approve of the
bold, manly ami patriotic opposition td
those measures hy tlie Democratic party in
both Houses i f Congress.
4 Resolved, That the results of the re
cent elections may be regarded as so many
vt rtlicts upon the is-ties submitted at that
session, and the decisive manner in which
ihe ballot box has been brought to the
rescue of the Constitution and the public
liberty is w II calculated to inspire confi
dence in our free system of government
based upon a:?d susiairicd by the intelli
gei.ee and virtue r f tbe people.
5. Resolved, Thai this Convention feel
the strong! st assurance 1 hat the coming
i election in thi-State w ill add another, to

me long n.-i oi vicioi tes recently acnievea
by the Republican p.-orty.
6 Jtesolved, I hat the triumphs of the
j Republican party after so full and recent a
j re.ieral consolitla'nm measures, and at
the same time to reform the Government,
ie-tore ihe Constitution, and give a per
manent am! undj. puled ascendancy to the
principles and policy which brought the
Republican State Rights Parly into power
under the illustrious Ji fferson in 1801.
7. h'esoli'cd, That to achieve these re
sults jt is neces-ary that the practical ad
ministration of the Government should
give tfft ct to the principles of 1801, so sig
nally vindicated in ihe recent popular elec
tions, by a st i i cl limitation of political
power; a figid enforcement of economy in
every department ofthe public service; A
strict responsibility of public acntSj and d
de'crminaiion to uae all legislation Sri the
principle of'-Eqoal and exact justice to all
exclusie pri lieges to none."
8. Resolved, That, believing a thor
ough reform of the Federal Government'
must proceed fiom and be mainly effected
by tbe action of the Executive Department
this Convention reguds it as lhg Solemn
duty of ihe Democratic arty, when fcf
much is at stake, to b governed in tbe se
lection of a candidate for the Presidency,
solely in refeience to his qualificationsj
viewed in connection with the great objects
!o be"accomplL-heii that we should select
ihe man, whoever he may be, whose thor
ough knowledge, consummate judgment,
md deep devotion to the old and cherished
piinciplesof the Republican Faith, shall
make him most able in effecting complete
refutation of these principles, and in per
manently engrafting them on the practical
