the country As well might you say, that be-
cause we have the right 10 give our note lor one

therefore, the right to issue bills OF credit, which
shall be received as currency, payable for debts
between man and man. The question in this
case, certainly admits of no distinction.
INsrRUcTioNs.-W hope that one Of the FIRST
acts of our Legislature will be to instruct Sena-
tor Henderson. He was elected to his present
station against the wishes of large majority of
the people Of the State. There can be 10 ques-
ton about this. A majority of the pembers of
the last Legislature were elected as democrats
but some dozen of them, after they got TO Jack
son, basely deserted their party and the principles
which they protested before the people, and voted
with the why's. The last election proved, that
one member from Monroe, one from Jasper, one
from Marshall ore from Laudeldae, one from
Simpson, one from Tppuh, one from Lawrence,
and one from kemper, all nIsrepresented their
constituents in voting for Henderson. Let the pre-
sent Legislature correct the wrong, aud vindlcac
the majority OF the peoples will by lustrucdug
Henderson to vote for the Independent Treasury,
and support the other leading measures OF the
administration. The people expect and will de-
mand il OF them.
Webcg leave to inform the editor Of tho Argus,
since he seems to be ignorant of tho lac'' that
senators Brown and Strange were nerer instruct
Ell by the legislature of North Caroline. Ger
tain resolutions were passed by that body at their
last session, when there happened to be an accI,
dental majority Of federal members) against the
Independent Treasury, but they contained no
positive instructions. Messrs Brown and Strange
distinctly stated in the Senate, that if they had
been instructed, they would either obey or resign.
The editor Of the Argus ought 10 know that the
last Congressional election in North Carolina ex-
hibited a decided popular majority IN favor d
the administration, and that consequently, Messrs
Brown and Strange do not misrepresent the will
Of their constituents.
The Argus, speaking OF" The Bankers Look
ing Glass" published in our last, says
AVE have taken peep, and SEQ therein re-
noc,ed all sorts OF Loco ioco mess. There IS
Democracy, Abolition, Leg Treasury, hard cur
rency, and humbuggery, Of every description
mixed up together"
And did not the "Peep" present you with some
Of yon features, ntighbor' Did not the re-
Election recall to your mind some Of the beauties
of your tavor,e shinpaster systeml Peep, again,
and We think you will recognize the resemblance.
