Let it be conceded they might haver pursued a plan better calculated to msy the public and more acceptable to the people. Still, pongress had forced on them the respon sibility of disposing of' the question, and if they have done what they thought best for the State; if their legislation has been the result of honest inquiry, anxious study and sincere patriotism is it generous to condemn. them? Much more, is it patriot tie to throw difficulties in the way of suc cess to those plans, which their best iudir- ments devised for the-interests of the State?! is 11 patriotic to enirst party spirit and a rouse public prejudices against the course already adopted? If those plans whsjeh are adopted, were not the best that offered, they are now the settled policy of North Carolina, and to war against their suc cess is to fight againsj her interests. What ever difference of opinion' existed before they were adopted, none can doubt that it is now, the interest of all that they should succeed; -If any representative of tbe pt"o- pie nas acted contrary to his promises, Jet pirn be denounced for his faithlessness. If any have deceived the people, let them, be exposed ; but do not stir, up against these measures the odium that belongs to indi vidual treachery. And above all, let .common sense shew to every one bow utterly inconsistent it is with true patriot ism, to indulge in railings, that are-not uureiy unnecessary, out positively mis chievous, If the Acts of our Ilegisla tors, on this subject, had violated any fun damental principle; if their progress and success were in themselves an evil ; if tbe very objections to them were, that success in their schemes is injury to the public, I surely, will not deny that- resistance is aiiae rigiiuui ana pa:noiic. tjet tnese plans succeedTand all agree ftEat the in terests of the State are most essentially promoted. tto not, then, leCany desire of temporary triumph over rivals, alio w any one to give aid in the disappointment and defeat of these plans j for in so doing he acts in hostility to the interests of the State and the people of tbe State. ' To protect the people against these sel fish attacks by leaders and partizans, is the right, and in some degree, the duty of n!!. Tbis I shall do; not by abusing jfiese croakers, but by presenting a de t.. T d account of all the facts. I shall avoi all appearance of attack upon those who ted against these laws. ' Thev were ji t as honest as the majority but pot more so. It was a mere difference of opinion, on a question of Finance, and it were folly to quarrel ; with each other about it- t w?re unjust if not malicious to impuch the motives of either side. I &hal! pursue this subject further. ; "MEKTOK; LORD DURHAM, DICTATOR OF LOW ER CANADA. As Lord Durham who has just arrived at Quebec, clothed with dictatorial pow ers, is invested' with an authoritymore absplute than was ever bestowed before upon any individual within the limits of British America, and as tie holds in his hand, as it were, the destines of near half a million . of the French inhabitants,-the descendants of the original colonists of oanaaa, a race 01 men in wnotn every iberai and well informed mind cannot but feel a deep interest, some sketch of the history, character and political prin ciples of this nobleman wilf not, at this time, be devoid of interest. I ' - . John George Lambton, for that is the Earl's family name,- is descended from one pi tue Riuesi iamiues in tne county 01 Durham, which carries back its pedigree to the twelfth century, and boasts a trace ot the stood 01 tne iiantagenets. in these days, however, mis nign oescent wouw be of little consequence, were it" not for the f Lambton coal mines" t which have ben discovered on the ancieni estatea or the family,' and being successfully work ed, and to a great extent, furnish the source of a princely, revenue. In the Ume.ot tbe" Urand KeDeiuon, as Clarendon calls it,tbe Lambtons were cavaliers : and BnwwMUBiamDiwi, who had been knighted . Dy onaries 1, and a son 01 ut3 aiu uuic v fiohting in the royal cause. AlterwardSi however, the Lambtons united themselves to the Whig interests, and William Hen: ry Lambton, father of the earl who re presented the city of Durham in Parliament- a representation which seems to ha ve been a sort of heir loom in . the fa mily :.was a stanch friend and supporter off Fox, and' in 1792, put his name as chairman, to the celebrated Declaration and Address of the Society of Frieods of theSPe6Dle.'which excited so.rnuch the ire of Burke. He died at an early age, in "1797, leaving vbis eldest son, John George Lambton now Earl of Darhamy but five years old. ; John George! was educated at Etoty but for some violation of Hs-aristocraligL rufes, was expelled, and thereby preelok ded from either Cambridge or Oxford With his privato tutor, he. early visited the continent oil Eu rone, and on Nevf year's day, 1812, before he had quite ar rived at year? of 'discretion, made a Gret na Green elopement with Miss Harrie Cholmondely.
