INSTRUCTION RESO MOTIONS.
v
We congratulate the Whig party of the State
upon the passage, by the House of Commons, of the
llesofutioiTWntroxluccd by Mr. Ra rasa, in relation
to the course of our. Senators in Congress. jThat
they will also pass the Seriate, we cannot doubtnd
we shalLthen see how the conduct of Messrs.
Baow?r and Stbaxsk will tally with their high
sounding professions. We call them Nstscctiojc
Resolutions, liecause they were so treated by the
House, and so admitted lobe by several of the Ad
ministration members whd addressed the Commit
tee. The Resolutions were adopted, as originally
inlroducedvery amend me :it proposed beingprompt1
ly voted down by the Whigs on the ground that
the object was to embarrass the House, and defeat
the Resolution by indirection. Ve refer the: rea-
- - i I
der to the proceedings in this matter, and they will
see of what materials the Whig party of North-Carolina
is composed. Notwithstanding the ingenious
shifts resorted to by our opponents, not a man was
scduce'd from the allegiance due to the best interests
of the people, if we except, Mr. BanroRn, of Ruth
erford, who, it is said, was chosen as a Whig. ' If he
was. and has violated his plighted f.dth to his con
stituents, they will not, (as the Hibernian said.for
gct to remember it, when be again applies for their
suffrages. He has, we believe, voted with the 'Ad
ministration party on every test question. In doing
so, he may, perhaps, have con -at! ted the wishes of
those who sent him here; but, if he has not, the
honest yeomanry of Rutherford are the appropriate
judges of his acts, and will doubtless demand a strict
account of his stewardship.
Every member, it will be seen, was in his place;
63 voting for the Resolutions and 56 against them
making 119 members ; to which add the Speaker,
and we have the whole number in the House,

The Whigs have manifested throughout the
whole of this matter a commendaUe spirit, and have
evinced a disposition to economize, asfar as possi
ble, the lime of tlve House. 1 hey bad the , power,
and coqld have protracted the sittings of the Com
mittee, until every Whig had expressed his views ;
but, whilxt, in a spirit of courtesy they alldwed the
greatest latitude of debate to the, other party, they

"DEMOCRACY
While the Loeofocos are shouting Democracy.
and designating the Whig arty as Aristoeras,"it
may be well to contrast their practice with the doc
trines which they so lustily preach. It will be seen .
that whilst endeavoring to. deceive the people with
their hollow pretensions and high-sounding precept,
they are revelling in official extravagance, and lav
ishing the people's money iti expenditures hetter
suited to despotic opulence than Republiean simpli
city. The establishments of prinrelynabphs would
hardly vie. with the domicils of those who receive
their pay for opholding the interests of the self-sty led
' democratic Administration ! The followiiig a3- 1
vertisoment of the AuctToneef, offering for sale the
Furniture of Air. Paicr., the defatdting Sub-Trcsis-un

CONGRESS,
- Very little of iide-cst has transpiredas yet.- yVe
subjoin the most hnportant items.
A.spicy debate sprung up in the Senate, a few
days since, on a bill reported from the Committee
of Finance by Mr. Wright, postponing the pay
ment of the fourth instalment to ike States, for an
indefinite period. It wa9 admitted on all hands
that there was no money in the Treasury to pay
the'instalment, but Mr. Clay moved to postpone it
for one year longerinstead of forever. Upon this
amendment the debate commenced. The amend
ment was advocated by Mr. Clay, Mr. Tallmadge.
and .Mr. Rives and ojmosed by Mr Benton and'
Mr. Wright. The deposite act of 1830 was dc-
nonncwl itt a violent manner by Mr. Benton, and
warmly defended by Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Tallmadge,
and Mr. Rives. Mr. Tallmadge, in particular, pour
ed hqthot iat the Missouri Senator, and Mr.
Rives was full and free in bis condemnation of the
Secretary of the Treasury, some of whose financial
schemes he pronounced to be 'alarming proposi
tions.".
