WILMINGTON, N. a. APRIL' 24, 1870.
By request of many, we surrender consid
erable portion of our editorial columns this
morning to. the "Address ot Gen. T. L.
Clingman." It is an able and. exhaustive
sreview of our political field, and coming as
it does from one of the ripest and most ex
perienced, politicians of our State, will be
read with absorbing interest.
Address to the Citizens of North Caro-
'I Una. 'z-
i I u Ralbiqit, March 10, 1870.
. While it is the right of all persons to dis
cuss public afiairsi it is sometimes the duty
of those having connection with them, to
make statements. Three months since, !
announced to many members of the Legis
lature and others, my purpose to address the
people of the State on certain subjects or
importance. The delay has been, in part,
owing to the final, action of hc Legislature
on some of these qustions.
iThe points which I intend to make willl
probably provoke controversy, and perhaps;
attack on me. Such I will meet inT due time
ifnecessary, and content mjseli with discuss
., log only matters of general interest. As the
public mind is justly excited in relation to
the railroad appropriations and the State's
credit, I will first advert to these subjects.
Beinsr extrcmelv anxious to have the nor
tion of the Slate where I reside improvtd,
I accepted at the solicitation of the stock
holders a position as director of the western
division of the Western North Carolina
railroad company. I found myself there polit
, ically isolated, the Board consisting of eight
Republican's, three Whigs, as they spoke
of themselves, and myselt as the only Dem
ocrat. I bad no reason to complain of any
want of : personal kindness on the part of
these gentlemen, though points ot difference
. sometimes arose. -.. " y :
For example, when we met at Asbeville
in J une last, it was moved that the Presi
dent, 3Ir. Swepson, should sell all the State
bonds of the Company if he could obtain
fifty per cent; of their par value. This mo
tion I earnestly resisted, taking the ground
that not more than one fourth of the bonds
should then be sold, so as to raise merely
money enough to supply the demands of
contractors for one year in advance; I ar
gued that it was wrong tO-flood the market
with bonds, and by reducing the State's
credit, sacrifice the interest of the Company
and that! by showing a large amount ot work
clone, we should sustain the credit both of
the Company and of the State, y My earnest
opposition defeated the resolution then, but
on the next day a paper was privately pre
pared and, as I learned, signed by all the
Directors except myself, instructing Mr.
Swepson to sell all the bonds at fifty cents
in the dollar. Whose policy was right in
this respect I do not propose now to. argue.
Again, when Mr. Swepson resigned, I
made a motion for the appointment of a
committee to examine his accounts, , pur
posely that I might. be appointed one of the
committee. The chairman, however yield
ing, as I was told, to strong remonstrances
against my appointment on the ground that
I was not sufficiently favorable to. Mr. Swep
. son, selected two other ipersbna. I might
have resigned to avoid responsibility, but it
lias uov uceu my uusiulu, eiiuer in civil or
sible. Apparently, to gite. a deajk bW to
the bonds, they passed an act "forbidding
the Treasurer to pay the interc thready
collected. The Constitution j:espressly re
quires that the money thus raisedj shall not
be applied to .any other purpose. It is
said. however; that . the members .,of the
Legislature have not been paid : their; per:

the State in part by certain classes of per

neglected this, and matters had gone to an
extent that would have rendered it more
difficult to effect on good terms. '
The State having been seriously crippled,
it seemed sound policy that her means
should all be used in the first place to finish
works already begun, increase the wealth of
the State, and thus in time become able to
pay off all her obligations. Acts were passed
and, as the' Constitution required, special
taxes were imposed, for this purpose. But
the old bondholders greedily demanded that
their claims should be among! the first set
tied. Our condition was like that of a man
whose plantation had been wasted in" the
war, who owed debts that he could not then
pay, and who proposed to mortgage part of
his property to get money to re-stock his
plantation, and thus be'abie, after making a
few crops to pay off- all his old debts. But
this class of old bondholders declared that
the State should not be allowed to recover
in this mode. They thereupon commenced
a system ol attacks on the (credit of the
new bonds, in . which possibly tbey might,
to some extent, have been aided by others
in the North. They labored industriously
to break down the credit of their own State
They determined to kill the j goose rather
than wait to receive the golclenl egg. Having
deliberately attempted to disgrace North
Carolina, it remains to be seen how' they
will be rewarded for their narrow selfishness.-,

In the second place, while the special tax
bills were being generally supported in the
Legislature, a number of acts j were passed
tor roads in the central parts ot the State,
which, because they were for pew works,
thp Supreme Court in the summer declared
to be unconstitutional and Void. There-?
upon some .of the friends of these acts
which? were thus defeated commenced to
make war on the bonds that were- held to
be good. They resolved that, if .they could

But can any one seriously regard this act
as constitutional ? It is idle to say that the
Constitution of the United States can be
repealed by a State Constitution any more
than it could be by an act i of the Legisla
ture. Our own Supreme Court have but
recently decided that-the stay law was un
constitutional, because it delayed merely
the collection of debits, thereby infringing
that part of the Constitution of the United
States which forbids any State to impair
the obligation of contracts. But the acts
repealed had already 1 become contracts.
The Legislature had proposed tothe Com
panies that if they would accept State bonds
at, par, it would take stock j of like amount
in the companies. This was agreed to on
the part of the corporations and they jirent
oa afterwards to einyloy many '.persons un
der different contracts to make the Rail
Roads, who have done a large amount of
work, for which"! in jraany cases, they have
not been paid. It-all these ithings do not
amount to a contract within the meaning
of the Constitution of the United States, it
is diflicult to see what would. '
The injustice of this proceeding is not
less striking.5 When the bill was pending
iu the "Senate, I have been told hat an
amendment was proposed to the effect tlat
the State should give back to the compa
nies the stock it had received, from them,
but this was rejected. In the House it was
moved that at least provision should be
made to pay the contractors, who had al
ready done work on the roads, but this too
was refused.
Let us test the justice of this proceeding
by. a familiar illustration. Suppose that I
should have gone 1 to Mr. Smith and pro
posed to buy a tract of land from him for
four thousand dollars, if he would take my
cote at par,payabie in one year. He agrees
to my proposition, makes me a deed for the

military life, to shun danger where the pub-1 f the State, the west should not have any land and accepts my note. Before the note
lie service demanded exposure. My neigh
bors as , well as the people generally, "Were
too deeply interested in the work to permit
me to miss an opportunity to advance it:
Hence, n though I opposed the election of
uen. Artuieneiu, ana souciica in succession
ftwo of the Directors of his own party, to
consent to run against him,'yet; on his elec-;
tion and ' declaration that he would press
the worki Tigorously, I decided to remain
in the Board as a Director and to give all
tlie aid in my power to advance the 'enter-'
priie. All those with whom' I have been
associated know that at all times I have con
stantly urged a vigorous prosecution of the
' work onj the Road, and the" application2 of
all the available mean's of the Company to
that object. . v
.. I come next "to the consideration ol a sub-
5 ject of more importance, viz : The causes
which destroyed the. credit of the' State.
When Ijwaain New York last summer, it
was ascertained that the value of bonds
was depressed in: part, from their. being in
the hands of several railroad Presidents,
each of whom could at any time throw his
bonds on the market in large quantities and
that they were, by ,th us overstocking it re
ducing the value of the securities. To reme-
1 k dy this it, was proposed that they should
, all come to an agreement to place all the
bonds in one bankng establishment to avoid
competition with each other, and" that
bonds should only be sold as the market
might absorb them, and the funds' thus
raised be applied v iairly according to the
, 1 wants of the several Companies.' After
weeks of effort on my part; and that of some
others, I was informed by the several Presi
dents, that such an agreement had been
signed by them all, and that Henry Clews
& Co., had been selected to manage the
bond sales. It was then estimated that not
mow than five millions of the special tax
bonds; had been sold, a large portion of
which j had already gone into the hands of
! parties who were holding them as an invest-;
mcnt. 1 At the request ol Mr.,Clewsj I made
a statement explaining briefly the subject ot
" the State indebtedness, &c. Ten thousand
copies of this, he informed me he had cir
cnlated among' different bankets and others,
over thu country at large. It was also un
derstod that the interest was to be paid,
and under these favorable circumstances,
the bonds then on the market, not estima
ted above. two millions, began to be rapidly
taken up. The head of a banking house on
Nassau street, told me that in less than a
week three hundred and sixty thousand dol
at all. : For example, the North Carolina
road had been carried much out of its
course, and at great expense, in order that
it might pass by Hillsborough, - the county
site of Orange. Not being satisfied with
this, the members from that county had
gotten an appropriation for an additional
road to the IJniversity. The Oxford road
also might pass near the northern part of
the county. But the decision of tlie Court
was against the validity of these appropri
ations. Thereupon it was resolved 1 that if
the countv of Orano-e was to be limited on
ly to one road through its ceiite, ,the peo
ple of the west should not have-any road at
all, thought they had cheerfully paid their
share of the taxes for more than twenty
years for the construction oi works in the
central and eastern part ot the State. As
soon as the Legislature met, the members
from; Orange in both houses signalized
themselves by offering bills i against our
western road. - !
A class of men to be named in the third
place were, however,' the most active in
their ' efforts to destroy the credit of the
falls due, however, j either from my getting
too much in debt, or because I have intima
ted that I do not intend to pay my debts,
my credit falls so that my paper is worth
very little, t I thereupon s6 to Mr. Smith
and tell him my credit is so bad that the
four thousand dollar note he holds on me,
is only worth one thousand dollars. He
would naturally say to me, "then I suppose
fpu intend. to pay mo the deJjt in some oth-
er way." 'No," I reply, "my credit is gone,
and I cannot pay my debts." "As, howev
er,' you are an honest man,1' Mr. Smith
would say, "you intend to give me back my
land ami take up your note." "No, no, Mr.
Smith, I intend to hold on to my land and
mead to have my note too." "But," Mr.
Smith would say, urgently, "As I have con
tracted debts for the support of my family
on the credit of this note of yoursat least
pay me enough to get me out j of debt, so
that I may not be driven, . by my creditors
out 01 my nouse to starve." . -jxo, sir, 1 am
a stronger man than you, and mean to have
back my note for nothing." r

It had failed at the
even reiusea to impose proper restriction
on the issuing of the bonds, : and the man
ner in. which they were to be iised. r Seeing
apparently a disposition to act otherwise at
the beginning ot the present : session, I in
duced one of the Code Commissioners to
prepare a bill .which, in the main, embraced
the features desired. " It required' reports
'under heavy penalties from sail officers in
the first instance, and was intended to be
followed by a second act to secure the cus-
lars worth of these bonds wcro furnished by tody of the unsold bonds.
This bill, introduced into the Senate by
Mr.s Respass,soon c passed that body and
went into the House of Representati ves, but
though I appealed to several persons of dif
ferent, parties . to get it ; up, it has; not, I
think, up to the present time, been acted
on. Had it passed we should have been
able to, get reports more than two months

RosABALis as a very powerful alterative.
I have seen it used m two cases with hap
py results one in case of secondary
syphilis in which the patient pronounced
himself - cured after ' having taken five
bottle ol your medicine. jThe other is
a case of scrofula of long standing, which
is rapidlj Improving 'under it use. and
the indications are that the patient will
soon recover. - I have, carefully examin
ed the formula by which your Rosadalis
is made, and find it an excellent com
pound of alterative ingredients.
