RESOLVED, That the Legislature of this State,
have right to instruct their Senators in Congress
whenever in the opinion of the Legislature, they
misrepresent the wishes of the State, or the mag
nitude of the occasion shall require such instruc-
tions; and that it is the duty of the Senators to
obey the instructions given, or to resign their
seats.
ResoIced, That while North Carolina, in the
opinion of this Legislature, will never object TO
any amount of taxes equally apportioned and inn
posed for the purpose of raising revenue to sup
port the Government, economically administered
yet this State will consent to the imposition of
taxes, the design and operation of which, are to
promote the interests of particular occupations at
the general expense.
Resolred, That the Tariff Law, passed by the
present Congress- is based protection principles
as bounty to the manufacturing in
terest, and imposing unjust unequal and oppres-
slve burdens upon other branches of industry and
particularly those peculiar to the Southern States
and that such being the effects of this law, it is
wise in policy, dangerous to public liberty, and
perversion of that free Constitution of Government
which was formed and adopted for the protection
ed by the equal operation of its laws, and the just
dspensaton ofits benefits, to every American citi-
Zen.s
Resolrcd, That this law is not only protective
ia its character, and uneqal in its operation, but
hat it violates the compromise of 1888, uniusly
lepriving the South of the benefits of that act pre-
;isely at the period when they were to accrue to
rs, and Immediately after we had patiently and
endured all its burdens: And, there

yainst this law, and insist that it shoudbe modi6-
ID to place it on the basis of revenue duties
Resoloed, That this Legislature do highly dis
approve of the Bankrupt Law, passed by the pre-
ent Congress, and desire its Immediate repeal,
because it impairs the obligation of contracts de-
troys confidence and credit, encourages frauds
md reckless speculation and because we believe
here is scarcely division of sentiment among
he people Of North Carolina in their opposition
o this measure
Resotued, That the fine imposed upon General
Andrew Jackson, during the late war, by Judge
Hall, was in the opinion of this Legislature un-
ust and tyrannical, and that it should be immedi-
tely refunded with full legal interest aoitEout any
1ropisO or qualification gohGterer, as an act of
ustice, to brave, meritorious and distinguished
,fficer
ResoIred, That the Executive Veto, limited as
t is by the wisdom of our fathers, is conserva.
i've and necessary power, of which the President
hould never be deprived
ResoIred, That our Senators in Congress, be,
md they are hereby instructed, and our Represen-
aives requested to carry into effect, the principles
