of usurpation in th Supreme Court, in th

Crunch' i lit t. 97.) Ill this case th Court de
clared that "a repeal by on of the States of a
law under which rights had vested did not di
vest those rights: that Georgia had no con
stitutional authority to revoke grant of land
previously made. Tut arguments urged in de
fence of the authority, are drawn from the sup
posed omnipotence of the Legislature that the
act of one cannot bind a sfiossuuns Legislature
that if it were binding, lb action of eueceed-
ng legislature might be completely forestalled
and annulled There ia an erroneous impress
ion abroad, (particularly among thos who has
not lb meina of examining) in relation to thia
vital question. It may afliird some apology for
recuriing to those reasons whichs would seem to
strike at once the mind of every reflecting man.
The Constitution of the United States declare
in Article 1, Section 10: "No State shall pass
any bill of attainder, ei-pft fnrto law, of lav
impairing the ettitfatian of contract:" A eon-
tract, both in Its legal and ordinary acceptation,
means, an agreement between two or more per
sons lo do or not to do a certain thing, and is
either executory or executed. It is an executed
contract where Us inducement or object has
ben performed, and executor when it ia to be
performed in future. Now die framers of the
t'onsl il n tiunpmH( certainly have had in view
both tbase apeciea of contract. 1 he language
ia general, without qualification and free from
ambiguity. - That a State is able to make a con
tract when not forbidden by tho Constitution
will hardly be denied. Did not the grant of
Georgia partak of all the qualities of a con
tract! The land waa transferred for a valuable
consideration. The title of the grantor waa
completely extinguished, and an agreement im
plied that he would not re-assert that title.
Would no contract be violated no1 obligation
impaired by revoking it and retaking the land?
It would bo doing violence to the express lan
guage of the Constitution and impugning the
wisdom of il fiamers, lo suppose that a Klate
under the prohibition "thall pan no latt im
pairing the obligation of contract!," is bound
to protect contracts between individual: but
may, at pleasure, weaken, impair and annul iti
stum. I pe founders or our government knew
the danger of party excitement, and were fully
aware that in moment of political ardor the
Legislature might pas laws winch wouW .vio
late th right of property. Hut who can. fail
to ae th raaulia of uab. a iluatriml Mot, n.
ny person in th co.nmunity would hold their
lands free from th caprice of the Legislature:
It is only necessary thai it should pas an act
revoking grants, many of whii& were made half
a century ago. If the light is conceded to im
pair one species of conrlacts and not anotner,
who i to draw the distinction Has the Con
stitution done it! The Legislature passe an
ct granting to B for valuable consideration
one of tho public lota in the City of Kaleigh.
B Improve it build upon it and in course ot
time it becomes valuable piece of property.
Can a subsequent Legislature revoke that grant
and resume the lot! Again: J'ha Legislature
grants to a number of persons a charter to erect
Rail Koad through a section ot tue state.
Stock is subscribed property vested the road
completed. Has the Legislature a right under
th Constitution to revoke that charter, when
there ha been no mituter or nonnrer, and dc-
atroy th Road! Have not rights vested under
it! I it not a contract! If you grant it the
right to take back th whole charter, you must
likewis allow the power to resume a part.
Suppose then there is a provision, that th com
pany, in consideration of their keeping up the
road for the convenience of the community,
thall be entitled to the toll originating from the
transportation of passengers and produce. Will
any one contend that the Legislature can de
prive liirm of It) toll bfTCquirtng tlent"t) p-4
form such tranaiortation Ire ol enargei
The argument educed by many from th sup-
twcdomnipoUmcCJ)fjhLcgslature is as dan-I
gerooa aa ii is erroneous. - i u uw; "
umeof to represent th voice of th people it is
true in whom all political power is vested.
This however doe not make the Legislature
omnipotent. In all regulated government in
all government where liberty and good order
prevail ther are Constitutions. By the Con
stitution th people place restrictions on them
selves which they cannot violate without moral
turpitude. Th majority must indeed govern,
but it can govern in no other way than it ha
promised by if own Conititution, previously
recommended and approved; If any other doc
trine were eanctioned such a supreme law as a
Constitution would be a met mockery. There
would be no protection for the right of th mi
nority, and th Legislatuieclaiming to represent
lh wish of tb majority would vurial every
right sacred to man. Such a despotism would
be won than that of a Tiberius or Caligula
for who would not prefer one mailer to a Mete
land? 8uch an argument then would make
our government in practice a despotism with
out restriction, without limitation of power.
A corporation i an artificial being existing
in contemplation of law -and vested under it
chsrter with certain ritht and power. B!ck-
ton (3 Com. 37) define it "a franchise for al
number of person to b incorporated and eiisl
as a body politic, with power to maintain suc
cession and do corporal acts, and each indi
vidual of uch corporation i (aid to bav a
franchise or freedom." It roust be apparent then
that the parti to lh grant or charter of a cor
poration ar th Government or Legislator and
ta individual member of that corporation. 1 ha

Under it each ha certain right and i bound
by certain obligation. I on party privileged
to violate hi obligation when th other ha
been prompt in the performance of hi! That

BANK CONVENTION.
Some account af the proceeding! of this body
was given to our reader last week; since which
we have learned, from an authentic source, the
following aJJitiona
Th proposition recommending the 1st of Oc
tober a the day of resumption, wa carried in
th committee by mere numerical strength, not
by th amount of capital represented the great
controlling power over the currency, and which
must, after all, be the final arbiter of thi im
portant question. It influence wa felt in the
decision of the Convention. Various proposi
tion wer submitted, which were freely and
fully discussed; in which, it affords us pleasure
to, state, North Carolina took a firm and zeal
ous stand in support of the earliest day in eve
ry instance, even cordially uniting with New
York in favor of the 10th of this month; there
by giving the strongest evidence of the sinceri
ty of the desir and confident ability of our
bank to resume at any moment, when they
can have the co-operation of their sis'er insti
tution, psrticulsrly those of Virginia, whose
-my. i. ai.n.H.aiW. ui with which alone the
bank of thi Rial kn mum and maintain
specie payments. But br a recent act of iW.
Virginia' Legislature, her bank are protected
in suspension until the 1st of January. It
therefor became necessary, in order to an or
Tier resumption by our banks, to prevail on
their neighbors lo give op a portion ol the im
munity granted them by the act; and, in a
highly commendable spirit, they consented to
yield half, and support the proposition to re
turn on the 1st October. But it was all una;
vailing. A majority of the Convention resist.
ed every attempt lo fix upon an earlier period
than the 1st of January, 1839; and the vote
on that question was aa follows: Yeai Maine'
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhod Island, Con
necticut, New Jersey, Delaware, District of
Columbia, Virginbv North Carolina, Indiana.
Illinois, Missouri. Jfayi New York, because
bound by law to resume lOth May Mississip
pi, becauae too soon for her. Matlylsnd with
drew, because sh wss opposed to designating
a day; and th following State war not re
presented at all: New H fjnpshir, JPermsyJv-
nia, South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan.
It i proper to remark that it is still doubtful
when tb work of . rampUon wm aciUaftyTwrniio: tne-lt in currency-crmiar- agairi
tak pUce. Tb resolution of th Conven
tion i not imperative, tho' North Car
olina at least inaistad on having it so,) but re-"
Commendatory. It may commence much earli
er, or it may be delayed longer than the time
mentioned. Such i thocouiie arf trade and
consequent current of circulation, that there is
a regular ehai oof connexion and dependency
between the bank from the South to the
North. Pennsylvania must therefore move
before Maryland, Maryland befor Virginia,
and Virginia before North Carolina ean r-
lum. ,
Whenever, therefore, the bank of Pennsyl
vania (hall lead th way, if tomorrow, th
work of general reaumption will commence,
and not sooner.
It ii a fact worthy of remark, that the Bank
of th State has in it vault at let half as
much specie a all lb 26 Associated Bank of
Botton. " '
It will k tca that the Duelling Committee
hat reported resolutions for tb expulsion of Mr.

tempt to enforc the lat Treaty ith the Cher

already prevails among th sell It r on th fron
