NORTH CAROLINA
We have received from friend at Raleigh, the follow
ing resolutions, which will doubtless be adopted by the
Legislature OF North Carolina, and informant thinks
modified so as SUI more strongly 10 mark its disapproba
ton of the Of the Multiplying Convention:
Whereas questions OF deep and Increasing importance
now aState some Of sister States, growing out of the
exercise Of powers which supposed belong TO the
General Government the hand Of the rights
which said TO appertain the States ON the other And
whereas an expression of opinion the part Of this Lesis-
iature seems TO be called fer that silence may not be con
sirued into virtual acquiescence of the powers claimed
Tor The General Govcrnmen yet being Indifferent
to The consequences which necessarily flow from the
iorcement of Modification:
BE IL therefore RESOLVED, As the opinion of this Legis
atre, hat while diSapprove the doctrine n ulli-
hcaiion as unconstitutional, violent and Of revolutionary
tendency, nevertheless eeingy alive TO the cause
which has given rise 10 il.
2. ResOired JiUther, That The powers which have |
been coded Ivy the States to the General Government |
were delegated in trust for the accomplishment of certain
limited and defined objects; and that any exercise those
powers to foster manufactures directly, is viewed by this
as violation Of The spirit OF the Federal com
pact.
3. RcsoUcd further That while we deprecate the doc
rne OF nuicalion, being wild and visionary i'm tco-
~ dangerous and violent in practice, we the same time
ramnot but consider Tariff OF duties looking
las docs the prcseni) nnwarranabe assumption OF
power.
A. RESOLVED |urihtr, That still rely on the wisdom
and integrity OF The constituted authorities Of the General
Government and confidently look TO their patriotism and
love OF union Tor ultimate redress Of all grievances.
