| STATE CONVENTION.
| We give below the proceedings of this Conven.
| ton, which assembled ia this city on Monday last
1t affords us the highest qualification TO say tina,
the friends of Gen. Jacksan and Judro Barbour
who are determined to be governed by PRINCI-
PIE, in the selection of their public officers will
| find much to choer and encourage them in the
character and proceedings of this body For, we
i aihrIn without hesitation, that more respectable
body OF men, rs TO talent, weight of character and
number, taking into consideration the very short
period allowed for the appointment Of delegates n
large number of counties not having received suAi-
clent notice In time to hold meetings for the pur.
pose,) never assembled in this, nor, perhaps, auy
State in the Union: and that greater degree of
| harmony and unanimity; unadulterated patriotism
and Jealous devotion TO the welfare of the people;
ardent love OF the Union and sincere attachment
to the Constitution, the great Magma Charta of
our liberties never characterized the deliberations
of any assembly.
The resolutions and address of the Convention
| VIII at once silence the unfounded charge that it
was got up by "the disaffected Jackson men, with
a secret design of bencfting Mr.. Calhoun or
Messrs. Clay and Sergeant" They will show an
unaffected expression of regard for General Jack
son, and fixed purpose to unite in the support of
his reelection. If those who resolved to vote
| tor Barbour, were in truth "disaffected jackson
men," we should tremblc for the Generals success
in this State, and would all his real friends; for
the most indubitabe evidence that large ma
lority OF the people of North Carolina will support
Judge Barbour, is pouring in upon us daily from
almost every quarter. But for ourselves and in
behalf OF the honest and Independent yeomanry
OF the country, we Indignantly repel the ground
less and ungenerous charge of hostility to the
President and TN iIEsdicus manueuyro to s-nbar
rass the Administration and promote the interests
of Mr.. Calhoun Has not Mr. Calhoun openly de-
clared that he would not permit s'his name to be
brought forward were the prospect of his election
certain" And is not this fact of ITSELF su icent to
nail the calumny To the counter? We have no uler.
| or objects to mplish-notning to conceal, and
have therefore, openly avowed all tho reasons that
govern u.s. We are for General Jackson for the pre-
sIdency, and wish il distinctly understood that ue
tDM not desert him TO fauor the pretensions of ann
man. We are for Philip p. Barbour, (who was ap.
| pointed as Judge of the United States Court by
Gen. Jackson,) because he holds the Constitution
sacred, and strenuously contends that the Govern.
ment ought to follow strictly the course therein
prescribed by the venerated sages and patriots of
the revolution by whose blood, treasure and wis.
dom it was estabshed nor will we forsakc him 10
give place to any individual who would transcend
the limits of the old and well defined landmarks
| we have always admired the answer of one of
the wise men OF Greece, to the question PROFOUND.
| cd at the entertainment given by Pesiander
VIZ. that ''the most perfect popular government is
that where the laws are moro reverenced and have
more authority than the orator."
Many able and interesting speeches were deli
vered in the Convention, in which it was soIemnIv
declared that its object was single that it was not
called to serve any man; but TO oppose, in a con.
] stltutional manner, the usurpation of power on
| the part of the Federal Government; and to nomi.
nate, IN accordance with this principle, candidate
| for the Vice Presidency, who is specially pposed
to that subtle and heavy system of taxation, the
Tariff, as well as every species of encroachment
on the rights of tho people Notes were taken of
these speeches, and we expect they will be pub
| lshed.
| Several letters were received by the Convention
from different parts of the State stating that the
people had not had time to meet and appoint Dele.
| gates but that Barbour was their choice and ibev
would support him. We have, also in addition re-
| ceived information from various quarters of the
same import. The prospects of Judge Barbour arc
| Frightening every day, and cherish the most
sanguiDe hopes of success. We, therefore take
the liberty of saying to his friends in North Caro-
lima and all over the Union DO active, be vigilant
| and let your course be ONWARD.
| 1t will be observed that the Convention did not
| assume the responsibility of nominating cand
dates for Electors III any district except those
which were either partially wholly represent
ed; and that they have recommended TO the coun-
Tres IN the several unrepresented districts to hold
public meetings as early practicable, and make
| a selection of suitable persons for Electors and
| announce their names to tho Central Jackson ard
| Barbour Committee in this city, by whom the
Ticket will be published compile
ted. 1t is important that this duty be attended to
without delay, and we nave no doubt the people will
be prompt in the execution of it.
