10. Resoired, That our present pure, patriotic
I f,rt,t, Etr
the ability, purity, impartiality and Republican
simplicity OF his Administration, has grown ex-
tensiyely in the affections and confidence Of the
Wing party, since his appointment 10 his present
elevated trust. and that TINS Convention, in be-
half Of the Wings throughout the State Of North
Carolina, hereby tender to him the homage OF
;he.9 wa;'7est respect and gratitude.
The question beng stated by the Char
to be on the adoption Of the Report
Mr.. Winston rose ana said that i was
due to himself 10 express in his place here,
opinions, which he had, elsewhere, FIRE.
quently uttered in strong language. With.
out wishing to excite acrimonious debate
he could not. consclentIously, torbcar Il
state MS dissent to the Resolution recon-.
mcndlng Mr.. TALLMADGE for the Vice.
Presidency. lie could not vote for It
because he considered that individual de.
feient in sound moral principle, which wa,
sufficiently eXemplilied b. his vote on tins
Eypunglug Resolution. He had showr
concluslycly, By his conduct on that occa
sion, that lie was unworthy Of public con,
iacnce or respect. DESTROYS Of recording
his vote against that particular recommcn-
dation, he called for a distinct vote on
each Resolution.
Mr.. Mebdre suggested the propriety o.
FIRST taxing the sense Of the Convention
upon the Preamble, and then, the itcsolu
tons, IN regular order; which being &c
coded to, the President stated the ques
ton to be on the adoption d tn Pream
bic, which was decided il the affirmative
The question then recurring on the adop
tjon Of the Resolutions, the lst and IN,
were unanimously carried.
The 81 Resolution coming up for con
-ideratl1n, Mr.. Troy moved to amend 1t
by striking out the word iastrnet, and in
ser'ing recommend. He believed that, ii
yenturlug upon instructions, the Convcn
ton transcribed its powers. The motto
was agreed to, and the Resolution IMAM
mousiy adopted.
The 4th Resolution beng now undo
consideration, Mr.. Speed SAID, that It wa
with great dlilidcncc, he rose IN this body
. to make any remark. Certainly, he ha
f no wish to provoke discussion, bat he ie
Il his duty, at all hazards, to say frankly
, mat Mr. Tallmadge' course had been suci
. that he could not command his support
! He was willing to 70 As far, as he that GOO
! !arthest, 70 displacc dishonest men, an
put honest men 10 power, but ne could NJ
i sanction the nomination Of Mr. Tallmade,
; He had various objections TO him, but woul
, state only onc-his vote on the EypuHgin
. Resolution. II the Wings Of North Car,
: Ana chose 10 vote for a man, with such
load Of political SIN resting upon him,
could not help il. He did not say, /
3 would oppose his election by any eXtrao
Il binary means, but certainly he could n
yield him his support. He never woult
- directly or indirectly, countenance thi
il most abominable Of all abomlnable act
the mutiIatloH Of the public records Of II
8, country.
Mr.. Msbane observed, that he conside
G cd union and harmony in our delberauon
l. a matter Of much more importance than tt
g nomination Of Mr.. Tallmadge, or any 9th,
c person. The great object Of the VIII!
was, to elect Henry Clay to the PresIdel
cys and to effect this, almost any honorab
q concession should be made. For the sab
. Of union. therefore, he moved to strike OF
me 4th Resolution, with view, if the m'
ii ton prevailed, to substitute something
p it, place.
r Cen Patterson observed, that it VI
possible some Of the members Of the Go
!, reu'.on had not marked the phrascolog
t. Of the Resolution. lie would take the Ii
1f cry Of reading II again. (HayIng read
ID be resumed.) It viii be perceived, that
IT absolute nomination is made, but a cone
e tIonal one only, subject 70 the decision

that, if Mr.. Tallmadge should be the non
