The North-Carolina standard., 1838-11-14
FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD.

To the State Rights men Of North Carolina.
The great and leading principles of the State
Rights party, are now what they have always been,
They have not changed whatever men may have
Done; nor have they been compromised, during
the late coalition between the Nuli6ers and the
Nationals. Even during the panic of 1884, Mr..
Calhoun introduced Bill to repeal the Force Bill,
Ind whilst it met the hearty support of very many
ef the friends of the administration, such Sena-
1Ors Brown and King, (of Alabama)-it encoun-
ered the vndctVe opposition of Mr.. Clay, who
bought the occasion to assail the whole party Of
which the South Carolina Senator was the cham
3ion. The principles of the party were ably ex-
bounded by Gen. Hayne in his famous speech in
$3.50. Senator Rowan of Kentucky, too, in speech
bf unexampled power, explained as clear as the
hoondav sun, the constitutonalty of the doctrines
bf the States Rights creed. Let US go back to
lhese able State papers, and see what position
rood and true nulifer should occupy with reference
10 the Independent Treasury. recurrence to
past times may not only be pleasant, but an in
tructive undertaking by reference to the lights
behind US we shall be better able to guide steps
ln the future.
Now in 1880, when the theory of State Rights
Ind STATE REMEDIES came to be thoroughly dis
pn a strict construction of the constitution. Both
Gen. Hayne and Judge Rowan contended that up
Dn the principles of strict construction rested the
whole supersructure of the great Democratic State
Rights Party, and they both Vehemently denied
Ihe power of the General Government to charter
Bank If, therefore, they were faithful expostors
pf the doctrines of the party-the question of
National Bank cannot be for one moment tolerated.
It is indeed strange how any State Rights man
could for one moment entertain the proposition to
Establish such an institution. Even the lamented
Turnbuu, who first stepped forward to present to
The then unbroken columns of Federal usurpation,
%e Kgis-shield which he so valiantly won-as-
saied Messrs. Calhoun and McDufhe, for suppo-
sing that true and loyal SoUTHERNER could, under
any circumstances, support a National Bank
See his crisis of 1828-9) The correctness Of his
position is now admitted by both Messrs. Calhoun
nd McDuffe, and the doctrine of an uncomproml-
|Epg opposition to Bank of the United States,
hay now be considered as one Of the very elements
bf the Notification party.
Il There is one position of both Mr.. Hayne, Mr..
Hpwan and Mr.. Turnbull, which the people of the
; tnth would do well to remember whenever they
are called upon to decide between the two great
parties of the day, viz: That the same system of
which supports the constitutionality of
a Bank supports the constitutionalty of the aboli
lion of slavery by the General Government. The
two cases are exactly the same-admit the one,
and you grant the other. Give up the theory of
strict construction of the constitution and you open
THE PANDoRA-Box oP FEDERAL UsURpATIoN. Sur
render that buIwark of the Rights of the South
and shall have ARMS LEFT AS OUR ONLY
HoPE. Thus it is that we venture to say, that no
State Rights man can, without an abandonment
IF the first principles of his party espouse the
Of National Bank.
A National Bank being entirely out of view, then,
Is unconstitutional, how does State Rights man {
stand with reference to league of State Banks, t
lndcr the direct control of the Federal Government?
i was this issue which was presented during the {
oanlc session of 1884, and the State Rights men a
