The North-Carolina standard., 1841-11-24

do declare our sentiments IN relaloh 'ne'e'o e
follows:
the late extra session Of Congress, as having
caused large and useless expenditure OF the
public money and as having, in our opinion, o.
rieinated in the sinister designs. OF a lew amnl-
tious federal leaders who sought. oy,a surPiise
nnon the country to FIX on itn system OF poncy
which they did not venture TO submit to the peo-
ple at the late Presidential election, anc whicn
If carried out into practice woulc destroy every
vestige OF popular liberty as well as o STATE so'e
reignty
tion tn establish great central moneyed corpo-
ration in the Civ Of Washin 6 ton. with Branc h-
IS in the several States. whether under the name
of a Bank ofthe U. S. or the more deceptive one
of a fiscal corporation, as emineutly paEdklng OF
this cbaracter-as de signed TO regulate, the Pot'-
t;cs of the nation instead Of lis exchanges; and
as further designed by its corrupting influences
to perpetoate the reign Of federalism by contlnu'
ing the present dominant party IN power:
8 ResOiced, That we consider the autnorHy
nronossd 10 be given, in the bill lately. before
Congress to charter Bank hy which large a.
mount was to be borrowed by the government OF
The U. S. 10 form part of ITS capital, as one OF
the means among many others Tor suhJeeting the
fruits of honest Industry 10 The rapachy oi Ieoefai
parliznns of des De rate fortHnps.- while the great
mass OF The community will be taxed to repay the
amount borrowed on the faith OF the Uovern-
ment.
4. Resolced, That should national Bank be
established at the next session OF Congress, pc
leving as we do that it would be In open VIOLA
of the Constitution and that it would prove !atal
10 liberty. and believing that the right OF r'pehl
clearly exis.s. we shall consider ourselves impe-
riously bound by the most sacred obligations to
our country 10 take all pronpr and C1ns'luiional
measures to effect its repeal.
s. ResolreL That the 6rmness and moral
courage OF Jno Tyler. President OF III. u s.,
evinced in placing his C3ns:Itulonal Veto on
the charter for B Blnk Of The U. S. lately pass
ed by Congress, is entitled to our warnest ap-
probation, and is in conformity 10 his formerly
expressed opinions.
g. RsSoLrcd That we view the attempt OF the
dictator Heary Clay and his ubsrquious follow
ers in Congress 10 over-awe the President IN the
Constitutional exercise of his official duties, as
tending to overthrow the executive branch OF the
government. ard to degrade It into a mere in
Strument TO advance the Interests uf the moneyed
power. se
7. RcsoIred. Tint the large l,ans. authorised
at the late extra session, were uncailed fIr BY
Ihe public exigences. and are part of that
British system of policy, which it has long been
favori,e object Of the federal party to Introduce
in this country, and by which fund holders, and
other privileged classes are to become the con-
sumers Of The earnings Of industry, and the great
mass OF the people to be m,Ge tax payers.
g. Resolccd. That the late act Of Congress
authorising the distribution OF the proceeds oil
the public lands is in violation Of the Consau-
ton OF the United States. and is deceiful pre-
tex, for an increase of the tariff on articles Of
prime necessity and is in fact clear assump-
tion by Congress of the State debts for the bene-
III Of foreigners, to the amount ofthe revenue de-:
rivHble from the sale of the public lands. r
y. Nesolced. ! hat the noble fl iellty with
which MARTIN YIN BITeH maIntlInsd toe grea,

term, together with the signal ability Displayed
by him on all occasions ia their defence. deserves
the lasting gratitude OF every republican. and en-
TILE his name to rank among those OF our coun-
try who have been must eminent for thriradvo-
cacy of The integrity ofthe Constitution aid the
liberty of the country
TO- Resolred, That we hail with ereatsalis.
faction the recent trlnmphs o! the Dtmotratic
party in various qlnrlers of the Union.-
And we view it an unerrng indication
o! the speedy expulsion Of the federal party from
power. which they reached by false promises and
have jus ly forfeited by the grossest abuses
IL. ResoIoed, That the suspension of specie
payments by the State Banks Of this Union was
lawless violstion oftheir charters; a gross out
rage on the principles of moral honesty, and cal
culated, if it was not deliberately designed to
drive the people into submission 10 the federal
party.

the nomination for Governor made by our Dem
ocratic fellow-citizens Of franklin, OF the tIon.
