Speaker, thit wrong should be redressed, or that part of the Declaration of Bights should be tlricken out, or altered to conform lo tho other provisions of the constitution. Is it to be said that there is no use for the ritiz'rm but to pay taxes ? Have they not been found ne cessary in other respects ? Who have heretofore t.Kid forth in defence of the country 1 And in case oj wsr, at home or abroad in future,, who are lo be looked to for tho defence of the' country and her rights ? The people the white people; not called out iu-cording lo taxation, or federal population; but, according to the number, of able-bodied while men, And no portion of the Stale can be inure prompt lo meet the call of the country than, the Western portion of it.

I sup pose it is to be eonstiiied to ineau, that Western vo- ti - ra are made equal with each other ; certainly not . 1 . ' . equal with Enstern tutors. The inequality is ren dered still greater as you increase the number of! voters. Sir. Spctitef why not trust the people to make these m J ins for themselves? Why not allow them to have oi free and unrestricted Convention of the people ? This is a privileiri. they have never enjoyed in North Carolina: Is it denied them because they are not to be trustrd ? Who has the riglit to with hold it? or to proscribe limitations? We are but their servants. W'r are told that this is a Bicred Instru ment, and in this 'compromise amendment it is so hedged in that it is diffir-u.lt to obtaiti an amendment. This is said to he necessary. Why ric't-essary ? No such difficulty is presented to the amendment of any of the sister States or of the Federal constitution. Is it thour!it that the people would not elect Delegates hon.i(;ht be trusted with their own constitution? lll,v" our W' 1'arneu notlnnj lrom experience m .......... r,. . ....n.i'...;. .!,.

Thia Isupposecan- not be earnestly contended. Thsit was a part of the t'cmpromise made between several State whn form ing a L'l.ion for certain specific purposes, and can huve milling todowilh the internal regulation uf the several StuteS. Tstha' principle incorporated in the constitutions uf the other Southern States ? There have been -eighteen new States admitted into tho Pniousiuce 1790, of which nine are Slave States and nine Free States and this principle has been incor porated into but one of them, Florida adopted it while the seventeen adoptcJ the wl ile basis in each branch of the Legislature, except Lonkiaut, and she counts the entire population. .: It seems then, sir, that this danger has not been seen in any of then. Statea, and no mischief hat' grown out of it. While all of ihcst' StaHa secure lo their citizens the utmost freedom of suffiag, and equality of Ifeprcscntatiuii, and in nearly the whole of them do not even require tho representative to be a freeholder, and in a large maj drily of them allow the people to elect tha Judges and other public office the gcvenin'cuts are as -well. administered, and law as wholesome, and life, liberty arid property as secure, as in our Stats, and the people more Contented and prospcrbus. The experiment has proved that the peo ple are capable pf self-government.' .in N Carolina we have never denied in theory the truth of the first declaration iu our bill of Bights, nor have we acknow ledged it iu practice iii a single instance. The popular voice in North Carolina is never heard, except iu the elecion of Governor. Mr. Spraker, we cannot always deny to the people these reforms that are made al! around nt in other Slates. Sir, I assure Senators that they are never to hear the last of this reasonable demand until aConven tion is called. If iht-.n the majority thai! decide to mak- any or all the amendments spoken of, or sh i.l determine to make none, I shall be content, nnd the puolic mind will probably be quiet for many veins lo come. Gentlemen need not be a- farmed: they need not distrust the people. There is loo much good sense and patriotism in North Caro'ina to justify any fear that they will deal lightly or rashly with the Constitution. The Baltimore Clipper commends to the consid eration of the legislature of South Carolirta the preamble and resolutions lately adoped by the con vention of .Van-land, without, a dissenting voice. They are calm, temperate, dignified, and patriotic, sayc that journal, and express th unanimous sen timents ofthe peple of Maryland. They give the cold shoulder to secession, disunion, and all meas ures tending; to disturb the harmony of the country and yet .Maryland' has lost fifty where South Carolina has lost one fugitive slave. We learn that W, W. Avery, Esq., of Burke county, has been invited to address the two Liter ary Societies of cur University at the annual Com mencement, in Jane next. Mr. (Vvery hM accept ed the invitation, JUSTICE The Salisbury Watchman, of the 19ih, copies our article on the" Speech of the Hon. W. B. Shepard," and credits it " Raleigh Star." This is rather severe upon the Editors of that print, and we desire thai they may be relieved from all responsibility for the article in question, by tiie (inadvertani) mistake of the Watchman.
