Whkheab the party in power, in tbe NaU'onal Government of these United Slatjs, acquired that power Ry professing to hold sacred the following principles, to wit : 1st. Retrenchment in the expenditures of the Government, which were considered extravagant nd unrepublican. 2d., Rigid accountability in a!l Public Officers, and instant reform in case of abuse. -3d. Curtailment qlExecuijve patronage, which, it was alleged, was so great (hat it would soon con vert our Government iuto a Monarchy. 4th. Freedom of Elections, and no proscription fur opinions sake. 5ih. That a better Currency, than that possessed by our people, was necessary. ' And whereas, so far from retrenching said expen ditures they have been increased ftoei thirteen mil lions to forty millions; and so far frorrfvaccounta bility, either rigid or relaxed, there basTieen no ac countabilily at all, bufi.fiicers notoriously defaulters lo immense amounts have been re-appointed net. withstanding the same. And whereas, instead of cunailmei.it of Executive patronage, it baa increas ed and f increasing to so alarming an extent ill the hands of those now in power, as to make all patri ots trmble for the existence of our Government : and instead of freedom of elections and no proscrip tion for opinion's sake, the great, nay the 'only ret' son often assigned for appointments by tbe Execu tive and bi party, is that the appointee is a zealous supporter of their party ; and so far from freedom of elections, the Executive has, directly or indirectly, controlled and irfluenced those elections. And whereas, instead of the Currency being bettered? as was professed to be r.eee?6ary, and promised by the said party, theCurreucy of these United Mates, then, as we believe; the very best in the world, has been brought, by experiments the most high-handed and arbitrary, and plans of finance which are tbe ridicule of the age, to a et&te of chaotic confusion, v Novt, therefore, the Whigs of Orange, having witnessed for yars these promises unredeemed, and thesl pretences opelily exposed, do consider theta- clves culled upon to express-tieir constant aod un remitting opposition to the, said party in power and to the practices by which they endeavor to sus tain theniselves. Beiit, therefore Resoiv d, That we cling 'with iiicipased devotion to tbe cuuse of Constitutional liberty ; that we feel it is a Cause which can never be despaired of by freemen; and that we will use all patriotic. means ti asert "and jnuintain tbe principles by which we are governed. - Jiesolved, That we regard with ihlerest and sp probalion, lh- proposed Convention to be held at Ruleigh,n the second Monday in December next, to nominate some suitable successor to our present enlightened and pntnotic Chief Magistrate, and that ... - . - . ih,Chairmun of this meeting doiominate five del rgates to attend Jtlie same.

Resolved, That we will most cheerfully co-ope-rStelwlth our WThig brethren in the district, for the Aforesaid purpose, because we believe it is the duty of all, who wish to preserve the institutionswf their country as they were transmitted to us by our an cestorsto render their hearty opposition to our present unworthy rulers. Resolved. That we have witnessed, with afarm, the tremendous encroachments of Executive )ower; and, believing that tbe measures of the Administra li?n,1f carried into eflect, will overwhelm the coun try in ruin will prostrate commerce and credit, we believe it our solemn duty to oppose those who fadvocate these measures. L tipofofd. That wo most heartily respond to the patriotic sentiment, "The tfnion ofthe Whigs, for the sake of the Union;" and that we ought, as pat riots to unite, sacrificing all sectional .differences on the altar of our country's .good Though we dis claim all intention of dictating to tbe National Con vention, si. II we cannot forbear from presenting the name of HENRY CLAY to their consideration. In 1819 when the admission of Missouri wis op posed, the country was saved by the efforts of this Statesman. In later times he has. by his interces sion, prevented the threatened invasion of a South ern Stater and, in 1839, when -the abolitionist were proclaiming a dissolution of our Union, he stepjed forward, threw himself in the breach, and, afier his masterly defence of the South, a Southern Statesman said Abolition was then prostrated Resolved, 1 hat, as Southerners, anxious to pro tect antl defend the South anxious to have oar Government honestly administered anxious to put down those who consider the offices of our country not as trusts for public good, but as poHs" for demagogues, we cannot support MarthtVan Bu- Lren. ne voted lor the i arm ne voted to give ne groes a right to vo'e he admits that Congress has aright to aliolish slavery in the District of Colum bia he is in favor of the Sub Treasury scheme, whicbe regard as the foundation of a great manv moth Executive Bank. He is not worthy of South ern confidence. Retotved, That we witness, with alarm, the grea increase of public defaulters the enormous increase s expenditures by the General Govern ment and believe that the establishment of the Sub Treasury scheme, in place of diminishing, rwould greatly increase both, and therefore ought to Uc OJipoHeu r utiuui 11, uur urwrriiiiiciii van w managed, and go on in its republican parity and simplicity. VViih it, we may expect to-have based upon the ruins of uur Republic a worse than mon archal despotism.

Thjswork is all stereotyped; and will mato-three volumes instead j)T two, as originally announced This is certainly a most exaordinary statement, and not only mistakes facts, but is calculated to do great injustice-, to Mr. Madison. If, in the order ofeTen, the old, patriot and sage is permitted tolook down on us, what must be his astonishment a.nd .3Srin i0ee his connlrymwi rejoicing that this, the favorite ban tl fug-of his life, to the perfection of which he had studiously labored in the meridianand in the evening of his days, had been deemed Fortwate, in consequehce't)f its imperfections, in be ing committed to the superintendence even of an accompjislicd Solicitor of theTreas ury." And what must his personal friends think, whA knew him to be so profoundly acquainted Vith our language, and so skill ed and considerate in its use he who Mr. Jefferson declared had a more thorough . and discriminating knowledge of th "Eng lish language than any one he ever knew of his having, after all (hef labor "bestowed on the manuscripC-Ieft jtjn a state that re quired the labor of severai years, and "some hmdreds of noted" to" render ivinteHigible ? It is due -alike to tno, character of Mr. Madison, as to the historybf tbe interest ing and valuable work in question, that the Public should be lrdormed that the original manuscript, which 'the paragraph repre sents to have become obscure 'from the lapse of sixty years, is now in the. custody fof Mrs. Madison ; and that the manuscript purchased by Congress was a fair and full copy, taken under the supervision of Mr. Madison, who carefully compared it with I the original, taking care to have the names ol the members written out at length, ana all such 4 notes' and other explanations added, as to render it entirely intelli gible, as he conceived, to fell when it should be published. In fine, he put the last finish to theftnanuscript a,-few years before his death v eren pnnctuating.andpse paring it in everyVrespect for publication, and desired it should be published imme diately after his ' decease has often been heard to remark that ther-panuscript in question was ready for the press, ami ' would make three Volumes, (nottwoa stated in the paragraph in your paper.) A manuscript thus prepared fox the press by Mr. Madison himself, and which he re quested should be published immediately after his death, has beeaSvilhheld for years,. Because, as is alleged, of its behjg obscure and unintelligible, and finaliypnblialied with some hundreds pfWtesdf explana tion. I must confess, Messrs. Editors, 1 i canqpt understand this and however high may be my estimation of the accomplish ed" note makers, or commentators, I da not think they understand the subject, our x language, or theintelligence of our citizens, better than Mr.Madison did ; and that this work, prepared, for the press" w)th so much care by him, did not require their revision, correction, or explanation. It isto be hoped their numerous notes' may not have a political tinge, and be made- to sub serve parties or persons, as we find many notes" in certain editions of the Bible,Ho promote sectarian doctrines. Whatever may have been the motive, Ijviish, and i think the American People wkh that this first edition of their political bible ii ad been given, without note or' commettfc, -o the world, as itsleamed and virtuous author left, and as he intended it to hare beenv . givn. , FRIEND OF MADJSON Amonsr the triafir victims vho have falt- i-cii before 4rYeiwtl visitations of Divine Providencete'Enow -of rionS more..QjitJr distresMnaAhsVhas ocenrred in the fcmtf W ofO.
