LOUIS D. WILSON, Ch'n. James IV. Lancaster, Sect'y. FOR THE TARBORO' PRESS. MEETING IN GREENE. Pursuant to previous notice a meeting oi ine uemocrauc citizens oi ureene, was held at the Court House in Snow Hill on 25th May 1841, for the purpose of select nig a suitable person to be run on the Democratic ticket for a seat in the House of Commons. Also to appoint delegates to meet in Kinston on 28th inst. to confer with the Democratic citizens of Lenoir, in the selection ot a suitable person to repre i . r . . . ocui una .Miuuai aisinct in the next Legislature ot North Carolina On motion of Jas. P. Speight, Peter E, Hines was appointed Chairman and IVm Jl. Varden, Secretary. The chairman, on jhvwvu, juuivvu it la. jjixon, Jas. Speight, and Wm. M. Albritlon a com mittee to draught resolutions expressive of the sense othe meeting, who after reti ring a short lime returned and reported the following preamble and resolutions. By virtue of an inestimable right guaran teed to us by the sacred charter of our lib erties; we, a portion of the democratic re publicans of the county of Greene, have this day assembled in meeting for the pur pose of proclaiming our unshaken devotion to the cause we espouse, and consulting with each other as to the course that shall be adopted in order to consummate its suc cess. We believe the general Govern ment to be a compact entered. into between the sovereign States of this confederacy, for purposes specifically set forth in the pre amble to trie constitution, viz: "to form j more perfect union, to establish justice insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves, and our posterity. By the compjet all legislative power therein gran ted is vested in a Congress of the United States, which consists of a Senate and House of Representatives. Apprehensive however that Congress in their legislative capacity might assume an unlimited power, and pass any and every law wnic.n iney might think necessary and proper, thereby prostrating the sovereignty of the States, and destroying the great objecis for which the compact was formed, the authors of that immortal instrument very wisely im posed a lestraint, by enumerating all the powers which they should exercise, and by reserving to the States respectively or to the people all powers not delegated; therefore, we contend that Congress in the exercise of its powers should strictly ad here to the letter of thi compact keep within the bounds prescribed by the enu merated grants. Hence we are opposed to the establishment ot a National Bank by Congress, because we find the power to charier such an institution no where delegated because experience has proven to a clear demonstration that it is unnees sary as a regulator, either of the exchanges, or currency of the country a:id because we believe it to be conupting to morality, and dangerous to political liberty. 1 he tramersof the constitution intended that all laws passed by Congress which had for their object the collection of reve nue from the people for the support of gov ernment, should operate equally on all, for the letter of the compact expressly declares (and the spirit dictates) that Congress .hall have power to lay and collect taxes duties, mposts and excises; but they shall be uni form throughout the United States; there fore, we view the present tariff of duties as unjust, unequal in its operations, highly noxious to the agricultural portion of the community, and without the sanction of the constitution. We are opposed to a distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands at lime when the treasury is empty; choo sing rather to let them remain for the sup port of government than to distribute them among the Stales, and thereby furnish a flimsy pretext for the passage of this abom inable tariff law. We are also opposed to an abrogation of the veto power, because we view it as the only safeguard in the constitution by which hasiy and unwise legislation can be checked and thereby shield an oppressed minority Irom the wicked devices of a reckless and ambitious majority In fine, we are opposed to the whole catalogue of principles, avowed and supported by our federal opponents; because we see in them a disposition stronely evinced, to prostrate our plain republican form of gov ernment subvert those sacred principles 1 equal rights and equal privileges so bnl- iantly achieved by the sages and patriots of '93 and '90 under the banner of him whom we claim to be the immortal author of our creed, and which have been so no bly acted out by each successive adminis tration (save one) from that time to the present day, and establish upon their ruins government of monopolies and exclusive privileges. I herefore Resolved, 1st. I hat we should regard the elevation of Henry Clay to the chief Magistracy ol this union as an event fraught with the most disastrous conse quences, because it would be a departure tiom the good old republican practice, and the establishment ol a new theorv which we conceive to be highly injurious in its tendency, ruinous in its progress, and ulti mately destructive to the liberties of the people, we will therefore use every exer tion in our power to pievent the dirclul calamity. Resolved 2nd. That we have the ut most confidence in the wisdom, integrity, and impartiality of our democratic breth ren that will assemble in Baltimore on Monday the 27th inst. for the purpose of selecting candidates for the presidency and vice presidency of the United States, and firmly believing that they will lay aside personal prefeiences, and be governed by the interest of the party at large in their selection, we pieoge ourselves to use our utmost exertions to secure the election of the nominee of that convention. itesoivcu, ara. i nai we nan witn joy f I I n..

Speight, Eq., our late Sena tor, we do hereby recommend him to the consideration of that meeting as a suitable person to fill that exalted station. Resolved, 5th. That having the most unshaken confidence in the honesty, the capability, and the unwavering democracy of our worthy fellow citizen, Peter E do herebv present his name to the freemen of Greene county as a suitable person to represent them in the House of Commons of our next Legisla ture. The Chairman, in obedience to the 4th resolution, appointed Jas. Brown, Reuben Wallace, Wm. Dixon, Francis Harper, Wm. M. Albritlon, Jas. P. Speight and Samuel R.

If the two-thirds ; sermons be furnished for publication which principle prevailed, the majority would have to yield, or else there would be no nomination. He hoped Mr. Saunders would move that a committee be appointed to report rules for the government of the Convention; and, if Mr. S. would not t ike the suggestion, he would feel bound lo make such a motion himself.
