A. Clwlpers, SecreUries.r The olject of the meeting being! ex plained by the Chair, Cor nelius Dowd,Jr. and John B. Kelly, Esqrs. delivered able? and eloquent addresses on the phatic language the mismanagement and ex travagance of the present Administration. Whereupon, Dr. S. C. Bruce submitted the following Preamble , and Resolutions, which were adopted ; Wkweas, the present embarrassed condilion of the country advises not only the expediency but the press ing necessity of adverting to and scrutinizing the cau ses which impose; the burdens under which the people are now laboring; and whereas, it seems obvious that the evils and difficulties which afflict the good citizens of the commonwealth of the United States, at this direful crisis, is fairly and clearly ascribable to the mal administration of the Federal Government, inasmuch as" it has deprived the people of a currency alike good for the farmer and office-holder, and alike suited to the exigencies of the traveller as the settled planter, under ! the" delusive promises to furnish a better, notwithstan ding the unequalled credit and soundness of reputation which the late Bank of the U. State sustained at : borne and abroad ; and in lieu of furnishing a better, has produced an almost entire extinction of any de scription of money in the country, by the reckless and perverse attempt to enforce the odious Sub-Treasury system upon the country, when it has been perempto ry denied three times by the people, and which, if once organised, would doubtless, result in a revolution: - and whereas, for the reformation of the maladies and misfortunes so imposed upon us, we have every ground of hope and confidence in the character of Gen. Win. H. Harrison, of Ohio, in Whose public life he has shown , himself on all occasions the friend of the People who was th tried antf. consistent Republican of the school of Jefferson, Madison and Mbnroe, under each of whom h held offices which he 'filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to hw patrons who was, during the late war, uniformly victorious in the field, and on . whose military chaplet no stain has ever been found ; who,'by his acts, votes and public speeches, has eviden ced himself the unwavering friend of the South, when a soldier & the field, when a member in Congress du ring the great and exciting struggle on the admission of Missouri into the Union, while his competitor Mar tin Van Buren, was directly against us: and whereas, the capacity, integrity and sound Republicanism of John Ty ler, the eminent statesman of Virginia, stand beyond question Therefor: Resohed, That we approve the nomina tion of these eminent individuals for President and Vice President of the United States, and will exert all honorable means to secure their election, that the Go- , varnment may be reformed, that our property may be j reclaimed, and thamr beloved country may be res tored to her former state, when office was regarded as a sacred trust for the People's good, and not a reward fot partisan service. Resolved further, That we approve of the nomina- , tiun of John M. Morehead, of Guilford county, for the office of Governor of the State of North Carolina, whose talents, integrity, patriotism and Republican principles conspire to impress the confidence that be will administer the functions of that high office in a way to confer honor and prosperity to our State, with ; whose interest his own is concurrent. I Resolved, That we will ;employ all active and hon orable "means to secure his election. Resolved, That we approve of the Convention to be held in Rockingham on the 21st instant, for the pur pose of nominating an Elector for this District. Oh motion of Cornelius Dowd, Jr. : Resolved, That J. B. Kelly, 8. C. Bruce, Jas. Mc- Gilvary, Thomas B. Tyson, Duncan Mcintosh, C. H. Dowd, H. Wilson, Cornelius D.

On. motion of Dr. Sg C. Brnce, 1 Resolved, That we regard with high consideration j the untiring and independent couise generally pursued j by John B. Kelly, Esq., in diffusing through the coun- try the true principles of Republicanism,' and of the j dignified manner in which he represented this District ; in the Harrisburg Convention, in which the happy i and praiseworthy selection was made of which he was an advocate of Wm.

The meeting having been called to order, Oliver Wiley, Esq. and DrF.ZiKron were appointed Secretaries. On request, D. M. Barringer, Esq. who was attending our Court, explained the object of the meeting. Though taken by surprise, he addressed the crowded meeting in a most felicitous strain, frequently interrupted by marks of approbation and delight. He dwelt with great effect on the strong claims of Gen. Harrison to the suffrages of the whole Union. The foul charges brought against him by per fidions Northern men with Southern princi ples, be triumphantly Tefuted, jone by ' one, and made lhe whole. odium recoil on the ori ginators of those charges. He demonstrated tb General invariable attachment toithe South, and strong solicitude for the welfare Ot the generality of the people; his steady profession of sound republican principles, and the consistency of his practice with his pro fessions. H showed Gen. Harrison in h thesuthotofmanv public measures of lastinn- benefit Uv the greatest numberand Wbe first among he living for a rmir of militnrv ,;,(, ml qualifications. But to doMr. Barringer JMUciVJFQiuld be necessary to quote his own lagig, tha warm feeling, the happy expressions Ins ult and humor ana Teaoy il lustrations by.apposite anecdotes. Suffice it to say, that hj prowl Gen.

Asf for M. Van Buren, it was surlKiqjULc, Mr. Barringer thought, to grance at me wirj spread distressiin-the country, to be at once convinced of the necessity of a change: of ru- lers. . !j .

In accordanlce to public notice, a number of the Whig young men of Orange county met at the Court House in Hillsborough, on Saturday the I2lh inst. far the purpose of nominating delegates to the Baltimore Con vention, proposed to be held on the 4lh of May next. . Dr. Edmund Stnidwick was ap pointed Ch airman, a,jid Jamfs Webb, jr. and Anderson ArrtUtroug. Secretaries. The object of the meeting having been ex plained bv the Chairman, Dr. Franris J. Smith, Henry K. Nash, William R. Walker and John A. Cameron were appointed a Com mittee to pre pit re Resolutions far the adop tion of the meeting. The Committee having considered the subject, repoped the fallowing Preamble and Resolutions, through Mr. Nash, one of their body : j - ' Whereas, in considering the state of pecuniary em barrassment and (distress, which now pervades every part of our country, and checks the whole enterprise and industry of a land inexhaustible in its resource blest with abundant crops, and at peace with all the world,! save a small and contemptible band of Indians within jts borders, we are irresistibly drawn to the conclusion that the cause iato be found in the policy of the Administration ; a policy which has drained the Treasury of -the 'Nation of a large surplus, and redu ced the government to the disgraceful necessity of is suing, like other spendthrifts, its own notes to meet its extravagant expenditures ; thus, with a selfish and depraved profusion, saddling the people with a large public debt : j And whereas; the administration, in reckless an d determined opposition to the known will of the people, still persists in its efforts to force upon the country the odious and thrice rejected sub-Treasury Scheme; a scheme which, before it was recommended by the President, was pronounced by his party in "ongress to be " unsafe, unconstituitena disorganizing, and revolution art and which its'vtriVeiluinipions now admit, will greatly reduce the value of propj-i! ana lower me price ui moor, uiereuy causing a contraction in business of all kinds, involvim 1. 1 ', 1 debtor portion of the community in certain ruin, and benefiting alone, office-holders, capitalists and money shavers: . ' - And whereas, we believe that the Sub-Treasury Scheme is intended for, and will certainly lead to, the establishment of a great Government Bank, controlled exclusively hy the President ; . and thus place in his hands an engine of corruption and power, destructive to the liberties of the people, and in direct violation both of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, which provides that the revenue collected from the people shall be under the direction and control of their repre sentatives : : ' And whereas, the plan (professing to be a plan for the better regulation of the militia) proposed by the Secretary of War, and recommended by the Presi dent in his last: annual .message, is in fact an anti-republican scheme for raising and maintaining a large Standing army,the support of which will add millions to the burdens of an already oppressed people ; an in stitution whichall history proves has ever been fatal to free governments, and the uniform resort of tyrants to perpetuate usurped and unhallowed power : And whereas, the policy recommended by-the Pres ident and his new ally, Mr. Calhoun, (the once great champion of individual state rights,) of surrendering to the states in which they lie, the lands won by the blood and treasure of the old thirteen: states, and ce lled bv them to; defray the expenses of the revolution ary war, and far the common benefit of the whole, is unjust, aud a violation of the act of cession, and would deprive Iorth Carolina alone of a sum suffi cient to release, her citizens from taxation, construct all necessary works 01 internal improvement, and es tablish on a permanent basis, her system of free schools all which benefits will be withheld from the state if thepresent administration is continued in power: And whereas, considering the obstinate persever ance of the President, in the. policy which has caused such universal distress ; and in measures, the obvious tendency of wihich is to concentrate all power in the hands of one j man ; and considering the servile sup port which hfe receive! from a pensioned press, and from the interference inflections, sanctioned by his party, of his army and, office holders, we can hope nei ther for relief, to the embarrassed situation of the coun try, nor for the continuance and perpetuity of our re publican institutions, without a change of men and measures : therefore Resolved, fl'ha it is the duty of every man, and more especially every young man, who is a true friend to his country and her interests and who wishes to 1 see her republican institutions preserved inviolate, to -ii L: . 1 l.

Resolved, That in order that we may the better ef fect this, that we do heartily approve of the nmina- von 01 mat tried republican, WILLIAM HENRY t j l n,a noneprowgee ili,fX'n' ?l of laflCewon Mad- Uson and Monro, for the office a President of. the U - nited States, ntf JOH1S TYLERv against Vbom malice itself has nought to sayt, y'ice.Pjesident.

Horace L. Rohards was called to the Chair, and Tur ner Laurence appointed' Secretary. The Chairman in a very pertinent address stated the object for Tvhirh the meeting; had conven ed, and entered into an exposition of the pre sent disordered state of pubhc affairs, and the necessity for reform. Whereupon, on mo tion, a Gommittee was appointed by the Chair, for the purpose of drafting- resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting. The following gentlemen constituted the Committee, viz: Messrs. Henry E. Lorfcett, Jas. T. Litllejolm, M. Hester, Daniel R. Goodloe, Henry Upchurch, R. H. Kingshu-rj- and A. Taylor, who, after a brief consul tation, through their Chairman, Mr. Lockett, presented the following Preamble and Reso lutions ; and before taking! the vote upon them, the meeting was addressed by Messrs. Lockett, Liulejohn and Hiltiard, in speeches appropriate to the occasion. They were then unanimously adapted: Whereas, our form of Government fully recognises the right of the people, peaceably to asaembleand con sult together for their common welfare w Wm it- a pftfcv incumbent upon the voun as well as the old. to ex fr, 7We this privilege ; and being convinced that there 'M sonething radically defective in the administration oSr Government, and believing that the deransre ment 01 the currency, and the consequent commercial embarrassment and general distress, wif.h which the country has been afflicted, and the Government made bankrupt for the last two or three jewe, r to. be at tributed to the mAl-su! ministration of the F ederal Gov ernment by the party in power by their reckless war fare upon the Banking institutions, and the unparal elled profligacy with which they have managed the public finances;, and whereas, we have seen the ex penses of the Governmcht increased from twelve to forty millions of dollars within the spare of ten years, while the country has been at peace with all nations ; a large surplus-revenue exhausted, and the Govern ment forced to resort to the issue of Treasury notes, to sustain its sinking credit; and whereas, these evils, so far from abating still continue to augment. Therefore 1. Resolved, That it is our firm conviction that the country must continue to groan under its burthens un til there is a change of our rulers. 2. Resolved, That we highly approve of the nomi nation of William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, for Presi dent of the United States that his many public servi ces, both in the field, and in the councils of the' na tion, entitle him to the confidence and gratitude of his country; that his long-tried patriotism and pure Re publican principles fully qualify him for the office of President, andoffer the best pledges of his future course. 3. tiesolv' d, That in John Tyler, of Virginia, we recognize a Republican imbued with the principles of " '98 and '99," and that his nomination as Vice-President of the United Slates, meets with our hearty ap probation. 4. Resolved, That we have entire confidence in the honesty, ability and Republican principles of John M. Morehead, and that we will give to him a cordial sup port, and use all honorable means to secure his elec tion to the office of Governor of the State. 5. liesolved, That we, view with indignation the unprincipled conduct of the dominant party in dis franchising sovereign State of this Union, for the purpose of gaining a complete ascendancy in the na- nonai legislature. 6. Resofvd, Thafwe deprecate? the plan of the Ad ministration in the disposal of the public lands ; and that their only object in wishing togive them to States in which they lie, is to secure the support of that sec tion in the- Presidential contest. 7. Jtssolved, That we look upon the Sub-Treasury as another one of those abominable " experiments," dictated by the selfishness of t)artlzar politicians, which have brought disgrace upon3 the Government, and the greatest calamities upon the people. 8. Resolved, That we vieW with abhorrence the alarming proposition- which has emanated from tfie War Department, and which'has received the sanc tion of the President for organizing a standing army of one thousand men in a time of undisturbed peace and security.; that we believe the national" defence re quires no such army, and that thereby the liberties of the people will be endangered. , 9.

In common with the great mj-rity of the American People, we look to Whig principles and lo Whig meastrre a the only means ,of restoring ih Government to its form P" purity, and of eradicating the pernicious and factious practices which corrupt Administrations have infli ted upon the country. We have witnessed and still witness lhe servants whom the people have called to ndmin-' ister ihe affairs of the Government, disregarding the clearly expressed wishes of their constituents, and openly contenmi g the known will of the people.- Nav, we have sen a President of lhe Uiut'-d States, chosen on necourtt of his loud professions of Demo- f cracy and Republicanism, and coming into office with hyp rri tu al dei-laration of nliachmeiu to popular ribls. presumptuously accusing a large po tion of the people with bribery and corruption, because they expressed, in a constitutional manner, iln ir opposition lo one of his propositions. We have seen cophan lic office.hoIders and unprincipled peculators plainly encouraged and protected in their acts of plunder and corruption. We have heard a " Democratic Presi dent" tfl! the people that they expected too much from their own Government, and thai it was the du ty ef - the Government" himself and his underline?) to take care only of its own affairs, and leave ihn people to extricate ihemselves from iht ir embarrass ments embarrartineiits which his own and hi il lustrious predrcessorV lapricious experiments had fastened upon them. We have seen honest and ca palile iullic servants contemptuously dismissed Irom office, because they dnred to differ in political opin ion with those who seem determined to rule the nun try with a rod of iron. And we now behold the au thors of these wrongs, lhe perpetrators of ihee outra ges, soliciting an approval of their course and a con tinuance of their power, at the hands of the Ameri can People. It is against these practices, these doctrines, and these anew, that we intend (if our undertaking shall meet with the favor of the public) to raise our hum ble voice. It is to oen to the citizens of Wilcox and theadjoibiHgcoanties a medium of making known and defending their political opinions, that we make this attempt to establish a Whig Journal in Barbour ville.
