Mr. Mansum, in his speech in the Senate on
the Tariff, set out with an excellent sentiment,
which we should like 10 see acted upon by all
our legislators:
: "For legislation to be wise, it was not suIfi-
cient that it be right ia the abstract merely but
it also necessary that II should be adapted to
the condition of those upon whom it was to ope-
rate. Their interests, habits, feelings, sentl-
ments. and even prejudioes, demanded the most
! calm and respectful! consideration"
Garry this precept our in the making of laws.

The Clay men in North Carolina show, at all
events. their sp"ak They compose minority,
but respectable, intelligent and firm minority

there is no chance of controlling its vote, to do
their duty to themselves and their country. The
Clay meetings in North Carolina are numerous
and well attended.
