Mr.. ]. Collinson Burgwin laid rcso-
luton on the secrelary's table. which, he
said. he would call up at the proper time.
Here calls were made on various gen.
tlemen for speeches, but no one rising,
Mr.. Cherry, Of Berthe, said he was all
the way from the Swamps, and didn't get
to Raleigh often; but he had heard good
deal to-day, about a certain Mecklenburg
Declaration Of Independence, and he un-
derstood that there was in tho House
gentleman from that part OF the country,
one Mr.. Barringer, he believed they call
ed him, and he wanted 10 hear some news
from that quarter.
Mr.. BARRlNGER, thus appealed 10,
rose but with evident reluctance. and re-
marked that he had not the remotest idea
Of saying word in the Convention, and
OF course, was wholly unprepared. But,
said Mr.. B., never have, in my whole
life, refused,to answer TO Wing call, nor
viii now. | feel under obligations 10
my friend from BERTHE. and 10 The Con-
yension, for the compliment implied by
the call, but now that am up, what shall
| sayi There is nothing left me 10 talk
about. The Wings, / hope sir, are all
well informed as 10 the principles Of our
faith, and alive TO the importance Of ear
nestly enforcing them. There are some
things, however, which have been, done
here this day, that are legitimate subjects
of hearty congratulation TO US all. Yes
sir, the proud stand we have here ASSUME
ed as the representatives Of the Old North
State--so much like that iaken in Meek
lenburg county in 1875, and SO eloquent
ly referred TO on this noor-a stand which
has made our people memorable from that
time TO this--is an event on which may
be allowed to congratulate every true
Wing. Sir, who talks Of despondency!
There may have been smoihered indig-
nation in our bosoms, when we had a.
right to expect better things; but there
has been no dependency ,Ylor, as is well
remarked in the report. adopted with so
much unanimity here to-day, Wings are
forbidden, by their very principles, 10 de-
spair. He would not ,lenounce John
Tyler, but would only say, that whatever
hopes may have been hitherto entertained
of his aiding in the advancement Of Wing
principles, are now all iissipated. They
had, this day, torn down his tatiered flag,
and no longer looked upon his admins
tration as Wing administration, or held
themselves responsible for its acts. We
have run up in its place, said Mr.. b., the
;nhife flag of HENRY CLAY-ihat man
who has rendered more service TO his
country, and received less in return. than
any American living. Yes sir, during
the last war, his trumpet tongued elo-
quence was worth more than a thousand
guns TO the cause Of freedom. He it was
too, as had been truly said by the gentle
man from Berthe, who settled the Missau-
RI and Tariff questions, when the Union
was shaken TO its centre. Under his ban
ner we cannot but fight successfully, and
he was proud, indeed. that the Old North
State had been the first to I" fling it TO the
wild winds free /" We gave, in 1910,
The first staggering blow to Loco Focoism.
Yes sir, whatever may be said by those
who affect to look doVa upon North Ca
rolina, il was the moral influence which
her example exerted, that secured the
election of Harrison. Our August cleo
ton turned back the tide Of Van Buren,
successes, carried dismay into their camp,
and confidence into ours. The Wings
are as strong now, as they were then.
Our arms may have become liale rusty,
but from this day forward, they will be-
cope brighter aud brighter, until our flag
waves in triumph over the Capitol Of the
Union.
! must congratulate you also, Mr.. Pre-
