Instructions 20 Mr.. MANGUM.--The National Intel
genccr, following suit after the Raleigh Repiser has
the presumption to assert that the late resolutions of In
sruchon TO Mr. Mangum, not binding. because the
majority of the members of our State Legislature who
voted Tor them do not represent majority of the people
of the State These Editors know full well that This is
not so. Why therefore, do they attempt TO induce Mr.
M TO disregard the voice of his constituents and thereby
heap upon himself wrath against the day of wrath =
The Editors of the Raleigh Register well know that at
least half DOZEN if not more of the members of the
senate large majority OF whose constituents
cdedy friendly TO the Administration voted aoa INST the
resolutions. We viii instance Messrs. McCluren of
Chatham. Wyche of Granville. and Martin of Rocl,
ingam, the latter of whom would have voted against
them II he had been prceent. Though we differ
politically. we, arc personally. friendly to, and
have high regard for Mr.. Mungum, and rcpret
that we cannot comscentiousy sustain him in his
present course We hope, therefore that he will either
obey instructions or resign his seat thereby securing to
himself the respect and confidence if not at this time
the tavors of the Republican party He should have an
eye TO the future as web the present His talents if
properly cxeTted be otherwise than useful IN his
country and highly crcditabe to himself and the State
