tar0iina Gentlemen, Having learned from
on unofficial souiee, which, bovryer. lrsy,s nj |
doubt upon our mudsof me eoffceincsa of our
nlouhntion, chat certain resolutions have pns.
Sod your honorable body, expressive Of Tho
opinions Of majority AZ each Of them upon
political matters, some Of which have been.
hnd Others alil urc, pondihg before the country,
we have been induced 10 anticipate their eom-
ing to hand, and respectively address YOU con.
corning them. IN thus anticipating tho rccop-
ton OF n copy Of tho resolutions. through nm \
pllcinl chnnncl, we trust, an apology will b.
found IN the information We have received oil
the intention Of The Legislature TO adjourn nj
an early day. The resolutions do not Svnrcse.
ly instruct as TO carry into effect the opinions
expressed therein, nor were we able 10 pereeiyel
IN them Impliodly any authoritative command.
SUCH ns Instructions convey. Wn arc thoro-
lore, leli 10 infer that il was the intention Of the
General Assembly not to exercise tho rioht oil
instruction, from the absence Of the mandatory
terms heretofore used when the General AS
sombly OF North Carolina has thought proper
70 resort to II. The ground heretofore occu-
pied by us, is wholly unchanged, and scarcely |
needs rocnpltulatlon. We have publicly de- |
clarod, that whenever instructions are given by |
ne Legislature, we will resign or obey them. |
we therefore respectfully nsk your honorable
BODY II we err, in our construction Of the Re- |
se,saoh, mat we may be set right III time to
hct ~ becomes the position an which we stand
WIN view TO prevent any niisrcpresenta-
tlon OF our motives We discuim any intontion
o. dlsreapoet to tho Legislature; CONSIDERING II
no' oniy duty to ourselves, thus rospcctniI,
" MAKE ms request, but thar we owe il 10 Tx
people OF the State % North Carolina. ,boso
interests have been confded 10 us In tbe Sopofe
OF the United Sintos. We have the honor ~
oe' wi'h great respect, your obcdient servants,
u. BROWN,
r. STRANGE.
This is tho way in which these sterling De.
nocrats act, when the people are no longer to
DC hoodwinked and gullod by the tricks of
'ruul aud designing men, who seek their own
under the false and deceitful
clamor Tor the rights of the people and the ma
jorty.
these are the samemen who havoso often de-
clafod thel they would cease TO represent, Tho
state when they knew thuttho majority of the
people were opposcdto them. Their prcsontpo.
sIllon proves them to be as hollow-heartoa ma
hypocntical as theirprofcssions were honorable
and yirtuous.

upon The reception of the letter of Messrs
brown and Strange, the Legislature adoptod mo
'ol'owlng resolution which treats with propor
contempt and indgnation-the effort Of tbe;r
unworthy Senators TO avoid obeyinc the known

the contemplate arts of cquiyocot;on. W.
think this resolution viii bring tho honorable
SENATORS TO their senses and convince ,he,r
'hatii they do misreprosent their constituents,
mat the storm OF public opinion win hurst unon
ana oVerwhelmihem in its iury--ond their own
disgrace as indelibly fixed as the brand nlocoa
upon the brow of the first murderer
Resolred, That the resolutions possc,, h, III.

WIS ,, ~ congress, are sufficiently plain and in

rous OF understanding them: thar 10 hol;asa
