WHIG MEETINGS
V
BRUNSWICK COUNTY
At a targe Whig meeting held in Sinith
tiile.onthe 2J of March, 1840, for the pur
pose of nominating delegates to attend a Con
tention proposed to be held at Mr. David
Taylor reskfcnce in Brunswick County, to
elect a Whig candidate to represent the Sen
itorial District in the Senate, of the next Gen
eral Assembly,! and for other purposes
On motion of Dr. Sterling 13. Everett,
Samuel Frink, 'Esq. was called to Ji&Chair
and Nathaniel Potter and WilliaaUtHa
1vere appointed Secretaries. The objects oi
the meeting having been explained, the fol
lowing Resolutions were introduced by Wil
liam R. Hall, and adopted : ,
1st Resolved, That in the election of Gen. Wu
tini ti. Hinaisbx to the Presidency, who declares
that he will under no circumstances consent to serve
toore than one term of four years, a reform in Govern
ment will be effijeted, wMch is much to be desired, as
it will be the means of preventing the 'great party ex
citement wich unavoidably occurs in the re-election of
Sin! incumbent to office, operating upon the public mind,
through the instigation' of public officers, believing the
continuation of their salaries to depend upon the re
election of their donor to office, deranging the business-operations
of the country, in which the prosperity,
comfort and happiness of the people are so deeply con
cerned. 2tf Resolved, That as Mr. Vax Bubkx has con
sented to run for ire-election, practising the very evil
pointed out by Gen. J ten so and himself, we, have
evidence enough before us, that the reform alluded to,
cannot be expected from that quarter; and as Gen.
Habbisost has given a pledge to reform the evil by
declining a re-election, thereby superseding the neces
sity of touching Ihe Constitution for that purpose, with
out considering the many other advantages to be de
rived from his elevation to the Presidential Chair, we
call upon all the good citizens of our common coun
try, earnestly to'reflect on the subject, and to join us
in the election of an individual, in whom the good of
the country, the'peace, prosperity and happiness of its
citizens are so deeply involved.
3d. Resolved, That looking to qualification- and hon
esty, as the only test of fitness for office, we viewed
with feelings of pleasure the sentiments of Gen. Hah
Bisoir that he intended to observe the most concilia
tory coarse of conduct towards his political opponents
in the event of his election. And that he is correct in
Supposing that tHe Whig party, censuring the course
of theresent Chief Magistrate in disfranchising his
political opponents, would not apprdvc a similar prac
tice in him. ; :
4th. Resolved; That the acknowledgment by Gen.
Harbison, that in the removal of an officer from of
fice, the cause of such removal should be communica
ted to the person removed, and if requested, to the Sen
ate at the time his successor is nominated, will be cal
culated to produce that independence in the public of
ficers which is so necessary to a healthful administra
tion of the General Government, knowing that the
tenure of their offices would be held more through
good conduct, and a faithful discharge of public duty,
than by party subserviency.
5th. ResolvedDi&t the declaration of Mr. Van Bu
mxir, that the officers of Government hold office at the
pleasure of the President, and that he is not bound to
assign reasons for removing them from office, is not
Only at variance with every principle of republicanism,
but is ar high attribute of sovereignty, intended by the
laws of creation only to be exercised by crowned heads.
That it is calculated to produce servility on the part
of the public officers, tc destroy their dependence up
on the rightful source of power, and to bring to the
aid of such a President, in his re-election, a power
through his public retainers, so irresistible, as to bear
down every obstacle before it, with the money power
of .the Government in his hands, being in the posses
sion of officers who are in his possession, holding as
he says, the tenure of their office at his pleasure. He
may without very great difficulty, leave the Presiden
tial Chair,, and seat himself in the chair of royalty.
6th. Resolved, That the attempt by a portion of the
Vajt Bubxx party to induce the people to believe that
the Whigs' are trying, or disposed to take their right
and claiming themselves to be the exclusive republi
cans, while, they charge-all the opponents of the Ad
ministration, with being federalists, is false and un
ounded. That it is a, desperate party expedient to
deceive and mislead the public, charging their oppo
nents with what they are guilty of themselves, as a cloak
to hide their own deformity. , That the Whig9, as they
are ready and willing to prove before the people, have
been trying with unabated zeal to wrest from the Exe
cutive, powers which have been usurped by him,which
are" dangerous to the liberties of the people, while the
Administration party have been, and still are support
ing him in all those obnoxious measures, which have
brought the representatives of the people, at the feet of
Executive power.
7th. Resolved, That the late attempt of Thos. H.
BiNToy, of Missouri, embodied in certain resolutions
-introduced by him into the Senate of ihe United States,
concerning National and State debts, alleging in an
indirect manner that the Whigs are disposed to make
the" State debts a National debt, is unfounded and un
true, is designed to throw the- Sub-Treasury out of
sight, by distracting the public miud w'ith a second
question, before the first is settled. . j
On motion of Dr. Frederick J. ( Hill, the
following Resolutions were introduced and
adopted :
8th. Resolved, That the late act of the Congress of
the United States, in excluding the members elect
from the State iof New Jersey, notwithstanding they
presented the legal commission signed by the Govern
or, and authenticated by the great seal of the Common
wealth is a despotic exercise of power -an insult to
State sovereignty; and well calculated to arouse the
honest indignation and just apprehensions of every cit
izen, not only of the State of New Jersey, but of, eve
ry member of the Confederacy. . -
9th. Resolved, That the Bill commonly called the
Sub-Treasury, is eminently calculated to augment the
power of the General Government increase the al
ready deranged condition of the currency of the coun
tryparalyse Commerce, and by creating a swarm of
hungry office-holders, interfere most dangerously with
the free exercise of the elective franchise.
10th. Resolved, That in the patriotism, intelligence
' and virtue of pur fellow-citizen, John M. Morehead,
of the County of Guilford, we have a satisfactory guar
antee for the faithful and able discharge of, the duties
of the Executive office of the State, and that we will
; make use of all honorable means to secure his election
to that office. j
On motion ot Daniel v lemming, Esq. the
following Resolutions were introduced and
adopted :
1 1th. Resolved, That the Chair appoint a Commit
tee of three, to confer with the citizens of the Electoral
District on the subject of nominating an Elector for
President and Vice President at the election to be held
in November next, and that we recommend Daniel
S. Baksb, Esq. as a. suitable person to be placed on
'said ticket, Subject to the choice of the District
12thJ Resolved, That the Chairman appoint ten
delegates, to meet other delegates from the counties of
Bladen i and Columbus at MrDavid Taylor's resi
denca in Brunswick County, on the 1st Monday in
, April next, for the1 purpose of selecting a suitable per
son to be run on tiie Whig ticket to represent the Sen
atorial District in the next General Assembly and
that we recommend Gov. Johx Owiir, of Bladen
County, as ;a suitable person to fill said station.
On motion of W. R. Hall, seconded by
Capt. Samuel Potter, the Whigs from the
neighboring Counties are invited to take seats
in the meeting; and to express their views on
the subjects betore the meetine-, which invi
tttion is; alsoi extended to the Van Buren

DAVIE COUNTY. : '
At a. respectable meeting of the Whjgs of
Davie Countv, held in the Court House at
Mocksville, on Saturday, the 7th day of
March, 1840, the meeting "was organized by
calling Col. Caswell Harbin to the Chair,
and, appointing Col. H. R.Austin and P. H.
Cain Esqs. Secretaries.
I he object of the meeting was then explain
ed by the Chairman in a plain, yet lucid style.
The meeting was then addressed by Gen.
James Cook and Col. Giles W. Pearson.
with appropriate remarks and well suited to
the occasion, after which the following Reso
lutions were unanimously adopted"":
1. Resolved, That we believe the measures of the
present Administration are hostile and destructive to
the best interests of the country : that their pernicious
effects ar seen in a deranged country, a general scar
city ot money, a ruinous depreciation in the prices of
evo,ry tmng which the larmer cor planter has to sell :
and in a degrading servility in those holding or expect
ing omces irom tne ueneral Government, unknown in
the pure -days of the Republic.
2. Resolved, That a change of rulers is essential to
restore confidence and prosperity to the Country, and
punty to the Government. ;
3. Resolved, That our confidence in the talents, in
tegrity and patriotism of Henry Clay, is not onlv un
diminished, but strengthened, by his magnanimous and
patriotic course in the present crisis ; but that this is
no time for a contest' about men, our warfare is for
principles.
4. Resolved, That the nomination of Wm. Henry
Harrison, of Ohio, for the Presidency, and John- Ti
ler, of Virginia, for Vice-Presidertt of the United States,
meet our decided approbation.
5. Resolved, That John M. Morehead, of Guil
ford, is entitled to the entire confidence of the Whig
party in North Carolina, and that we will use our best
exertions to promote his election to the Gubernatorial
Chair of this State.
6. Resolved, That the proceeds of the PubUc Lands
rightfully belong to all the States, and that aiy at
tempt to cede them to the States in which they lie, is
a violation of the condition of the Act, ceding them to
the General Government ; we therefore condemn, in
the most unequivocal manner, the efforts now being
made to cede them to the states in which they are sit
uated for half the amount of the proceeds. '
7. Rewived, That a distribution of the proceeds of
the Public Lands among all the States is not an as
sumption by the General Government of the debts of
the States, and that such distribution would greatly
promote the general : welfare, and therefore ought to
be made.
8. Resolved That Caswell Harbin, Giles W. Pear
son, Joseph Houser, P. HI Cain, Nathan Chaffin, Jr.
Wilford Turner, John C, Foard, Alexander Hanes,
Thomas Kutledge, Wilson Holman, Isaac Holman.

resent Davie County in a meeting of the Delegates
from this Electoral District, to nominate an Elector to
be placed oh the Harrison Ticket, and that the dele
gates in attendance have the power to fill any vacan.
cies in said delegation. i
o P.. That the meetinor of said Delegates be

upon. .

National and State Officers.

IREDELL COUNTY. .
; According to previous notice, a large num
ber of the citizens of Iredell county, conven
ed t the Court House in Statesville, on the
10th inst. for the purpose of concerting nea
sures relative to the appointment of a Repub
lican Whig Elector, for the 13th Congression
al District of North Carolina,
i The meeting was organized by the ap
pointment of R. H. Hill, Esq. Chairman,
and S. R. Bell, and J. A. Young, Secretaries.'
At the request of the Chair, Col. T. A.
Allison explained the object of the meeting,
and after which, having given a detailed ac
count of the Harrisburg Convention, of which
he was the Representative from this district,
he proceeded in a lengthy speech to set foilh,
in a clear and forcible manner, the abuses,
corruption and malversation of the. Adminis
tration. Col. Wellborn, Gen. Jones and Gen. Pat
terson, of Wilkes, being present, vvere'called
upon to "address the meeting, each of whom
responded to the call, and entertained an at
tentive audience by lucid. and pertinent re
marks, relative to the destructive tendency of
the measures advocated and practised by the
dominant party.
The following Resolutions were then in
troduced and unanimously adapted," viz:
Resolved, That we view with the deepest alarm, the
unauthorized and illegal encroachment of the Execu
tive upon the Legislative and Judicial departments of
the Government, as tending to concentrate in the Chief
Magistrate of the Union, all the powers of the other
co-ordinate branches of the Government, and making
the President a King in all but the name.
Resolved, .That the mal-administration of the Gov
ernment, is plainly and unequivocally manifested in
the deranged condition of the Currency, the reduced
prices of produce, and the most cringing and sycophan
tic servility to the President, by men in office or ex
pecting office.
Resolved, That to bring the Government back to its
original purity, a change of rulers is indispensably ne
cessary. Resolved, That in the long and faithful services of
;Gen. WMiam Henry Harrison, his stern and unyield
ing devotion to pure Republican principles, his busi
ness habits and capacity, his inflexible honesty and
virtue, we-have a sure guaranty, that his election to the
Presidency will arcest the tide of "Executive usurpation
and corruption, and restore the Government o its for
mer purity.
Resolved, That the eminent abilities, distinguished
public services, and unwavering Republican principles
of John Tyler, of Virginia, entitle him to the confi
dence and support of the American peeple for the
Vice Presidency of the United States.
Resolved, That in John M. Morehead, of Guilford,
the Whigs have a Champion every way -worthy of
their noble cause, and .that we will use all honorable
means to elect him to the Gubernatorial Chair of this
State. '
Resolved, That the Chairman appoint five "delegates
to the Convention'to be held at Wilkesboro' on Tues
day, the 7th f April next, it being Tuesday of the Su
perior Court, for the purpose of appointing an Elector
for the 13th Congressional district, for President of the
United States.
Thereupon, the Chairman announced the
following persons as delegates, viz;
Col. TV A. Allison, Col. Jo. P. Caldwell,
Maj. J. A. Young.J- A. Huggins; and Wm.
A. Dunlap, Esquires.
On motion the meeting adjourned

NEW HANOVER COUNTY.
Pursuant to notice, the Whigs of New
Hanover assembled at the Court Room on
Tuesday evening last. The meeting was
organized, by calling John P. Brown- Esq.
to the ChVir, and appointing V. A. Burr,
and W. A. Allen, Secretaries. The Chair
man explained the object of the meeting in
a lucid Address. The meeting was then ad
dressed by Messrs. J. Lippit. J. G. Wright,
S. R. Potter, and James Banks, wheji the
following1 Resolutions were unanimously a
doptcd. '
Resolved, That a crisis has arrived in the affairs of
our Country, which portends inevitable ruin alike to
our hopes and our happiness, and that a day of dan
ger has now come upon the Republic, which calls for
vigorous opposition to the present Administration,
irom every patriot citizen m the land.
Resolved, That we renew those pledges heretofore
given, to strive strenuously for the dethonement of a
Power, which has been guilty of political perfidy to
our best interests, which shows nothing of sensibility
to public distress, and seems to act only for its own
aggrandizement and supremacy.
. Resolved, That cheered by the animating recep
tion, which the nomination of William Henry Har
rison, ana Jonn l yler, has met with throughout the
Union, and strong m the assurance that wherever
their merits are canvassed, their claims will be admit
ted, we doubt not but that a grateful country will
snow its sense ot their distinguished services by call
ing them to preside over its destinies.
Resolved, That we hail the nomination of John M.
Morehead, is that of a man gifted in an eminent de
gree with such qualities of mind and heart as entitle
him to our suffrages, and we doubt not but that the
people will gladly make the former ploughbay of Guil
ford, the future Executive of North Carolina.
Resolved, That we deem it expedient to appoint
three delegates to the Young Men's Whig Conven
tion to be holden in Baltimore on the 1st Monday in
May next, and that Daniel B. Baker, Samuel R. Pot
ter, and John P. Brown constitute such delegates,
with power to fill any vacancy that may occur.
The meeting then adjourned.

The New York Star says we have been
permitted to cut from the Richmond Enqui
rer of 1814, the following ; complements
which Mr. Ritchie paid at the time to Gen.
Harrison, whom he nominated as .Secretary
of 'War:
" The Secretary of War holds:, not only
the most important, but the most difficult
station in the Government. It requires a
rare combination of talents. He must be an
experienced man, indefaligabledrbtiiliaot and
prompt in his conviction, deemveftn the ex
ecution of his orders. The One whom I have
named (General Harrison) comes as near to
this character as any 1 can think of."
Singular Death. Miss Janette-White,
a young lady of 17 years, died 9t Millers
burg, Ohio, 25th ulti mo, from inflammation
caused by, a slight puncture in the back with
a pin used in fastening her clothes.
ONE MORE SLANDER.
The mint from which the Tories coin their
slanders f Gen. Harrison, must be a hard
working machine. It is the only thing about
the party which does work well. The latest
story may be thus briefly slated:
In 1816, a-resolution, was introduced into
th Ill S. Senate, nronosiug a.yote of thanks
anil agohl medal to Gen. Harrison and Gov.
Shelby for their gallant conduct during the
war.
Imnu'diatelv, a man who had been a
Commissary in Harrison's Army, and had
been dismissed for roguery, brought charges
ao-ainstlhim, of dishonest application of ihe
public funds which had been in his hands.
A motion was thereupon made to s"t like out
Gen. Harrison's 'name fnm the resolution;
....
which was accordingly done, ana ben. nar-
If demanded an investigation into
his conduct. The subject was referred, not
to a special committee, but to tne Mimaiy
niimmitiw. one of the standing: committees
of the House, not appointed with the slight
est reference to this subject. Col. R. M.
Johnson, the present Vice President of the
United States, was Chairman or me umirnii
tee, who, after a patient investigation, repor
ter! as the -unanimous decision of the Com
mittee, that no shadow of suspicion rested on
Gen. Harrison. This report was adopted,
and a resolution was then iotroductsl voting
the thanks of Congress and a gold metlal to
Harrison. which missed the Senate unani
mously, and the House with but one dissent
ing vote !
The Icif-limnnrl Ennuirer. edited bv Mr.
Ritchie, who now "sinks or swims" with
Van Buren. sneakimr of Col. Johnson's re-
port, said, on the 6th of February, 181 T
It is scarcely nece-sary tor us to repeal
the warm sentiments of respect which we en
tertain for Gen, Wm. H. Harrison. During
the Life war. we havi reneatedlv borne our
t .
humble testimony for the gallant Hero ot
the Armies of the NORTHWEST. An

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QUEEN.
TEX DAYS LATf.H FROM EUROPL.
The British Queen reached New York on
Wednesday morning last, having sailed from
Portsmouth on the 2d instant. She brings
London papers to the 1st March, and Liver
pool to the 29th February, inclusive.
The British Ministry liave fallen into the
minority on several occasions, and it is sup
posed they will resign.
.The French Ministry have resigned in
consequence of the Cluimber of Deputies re
fusing to grant half a million of francs, annu
ally, to the Duke de Nemours on his mar
riage. -
Money market at London remained much
the same as per last accounts, but on Friday,
the 28th February, (the settling day) there
was a heavy pressure.
United States Bank stock had been sold at
5 10 a great fall which we can only
account for on the supposition that the intel
ligence of the failure of Pennsylvania to pay
her interest on 1st February had reached
England, without the subsequent advice of
iier repairing the error, and that this had af-
lected all American blocks.
There is nothing later from China.
. The Chartist convicts, Frost, Williams,
and Jones, had sailed for their destination,
New South Wales ; but were compelled by
stress of weather to put into Falmouth.
The marriage of tire young Prince was to
take place, notwithstanding the Chamber's
refusal to provide for him. The father of his
bride, who, by the way is a Princess of Saxe-
L-oburg and cousin to Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert, is reported to have said that
the rejection should in. ike no difference, and
the King of the French will make provision
lor his son out of his own resources.
The Queen with Prince Albert has visited
Drury Lane and Convent Garden. The re
ception was most brilliant, and the boxes
crowded to excess at exorbitant prices. This
was her first appearance in public. The rash
at Drury outside ami in was tremendous, and
at " every line of the national anthem on the
entree of the Queen and Albert, theformer
graciously curtsied and the latter bowed."
The pieces were the Mountain Sylph and
Raising the Wind the latter rather a droll
selection when taken in connection with the
Prince's late needy condition.
The Duke of W ellington has quite recov
ered. The packet ship South America, from N.
York had arrived at Liverpool. She carried
16.000 letters the. largest quantity, says
the Chronicle, ever before shipped by a sim
ilar conveyance.
James Cropper, an eminent merchant of
Liverpool, js dead.
- Since the British Qoeen's last voyage home
ner engines nave undergone a lew necessarv
repairs, and no less a sum than 10,500 has
been expended in improving this noble ship.
1 he American Captains at Liverpool eel
ebrated the birth day of Washington,
RETORT COURTEOUS.
Mr. Grundy, in closing ae late -speech in
the Senate, predicted the disappointment of
the VYhigs at the next election, and said he
would expect to hear, in the account of the
batMe, ot the despairing cry,
"Charge, Crittenden, charee; on, Tallmadge, on!
Were the last words of Harrison V'
Mr. Tallmadge immediately rose. and said,
'l tell the Senator, that in the account of the
great battle to be fought in November next
by the people against the minions of power,
instead of the despairing language of his muse,
lie will hear of the inspiring notes of victory,
"Fly, "Van Buren, fly; run Grundy, run !
Were the first words of Harrison !"
