Am. Res0tped, Tint we regard a National iunueu
d,bt in time of peace, as deserving the reprooatoh OF
I'll lovers Of a plain and economical administration OF
the Governments; and for this reason we very much
condemn the twelve Million Loan Bill lately passed
by Congress, and regard, with sentiments OF great as-
appreciation the intimation lately given out by MT
Clay, the leader of the Federal forces, of still further
loan Of sixteen millions to be attempted at the next ses'
sion of Congress.
9Th. PesoIped, That although We had no agency in
elevatine President Tyler TO his present high station
we stand as ready, frankly to applaud his good deeds
as fenrlessLy to condemn his bad.
9th. Resolred, That in uetoing the Fiscal Bank Bill
and the Fiscal Corporation Bill passed at the late Tx.
ira Session of Congress, he exercised a high and much
valued conservative power-designed as shield to the

able to the establishment of 4 u Bank, and in proof
Of this position we call upon our fellow citizens OF both
political parties, Federal and Republican, in North Caro-
lima, to revert to the fact that the late Secretary OF the
Navy, a gentleman of undoubted abilities, in a public
speech delivered at Oxford, in March 1910, which
speech was endorsed by the owing" Central Commit
tee of this State and circulated from the sea-board to
the mountains, most positively asserted that Gen. Har-
rison was opposed 10 a National Bank, and denounced
the charge of his being friendly to such an institution,
as "FALsE."
9Th. Resolred, That we congratulate the Republicans
Of the country on their late iriumphs in almost all OF
the States in which elections have been held since the
disclosure, of their principles for The public eye" by
the Federalists, and that we are confirmed in our OPT
Mon, uniformly entertained, that the Federalists can
never hold power long in our country, when their mea-
sures meet with so prompt and so signal a rcbuke at the
hands Of the people.
9th. Rcsoiced, That the late Bankrupt law, embracing
Wll0ln ~ 6COpc I'LL u ooCleiy eAScPL ~ oHiai
debtor, is vicious and demoralzing in its tendencies,
and destructive OF social rights.
10th. ResOlred, That we approve of the Democratic
Convention to be held i'll Raleigh, on the 10th Of Janu-
airy next, and that whilst we very highly commend
the virtues and talents of The gentleman preferred by
our Republican fellow-citizens Of Franklin, we deem
it unnecessary 10 make any nomination for ourselves,
but submit the whole matter TO the wisdom ofthe Con-
vention.
