. REV, DR., CAPERS

For the last six or eight months the Raleigh
Register and other Southern Whig prints, have
been parading an eulogiun on Henry CLAY, pur
porting to have been delivered at political meet
ing in Alabama, BY the Rev, Dr. Capers of South
Carolina. This was done in the face Of repeated
and direct denials that Dr. Capers, ofsouth Caro-
lima, was the author of it but II was done fer eff
fect and these papers have not to this day set the
public mind right upon the subject The follow
ing' from the Charleston Mercury of the Goth
March, gives the truth Of the matter:
"There things that may reasonably shock the
sensibty of political editor and we trust there
fore it will not be counted to for aectation when We
say shocked at the nsolent contemptOf truth and
decency with which the Wing presses persist against all
denial in circulating statement that the Rev Dr.
Capers, Of South Carolina, had assisted at aWhe Con-
ventien in Alabama. and there made furious partisan
harangue in favor of Mr.. Clay, the Rev. Dr. Capers
could act, he would be little worthy of that deep and
aectionae veneraton in which he is held whereye he
known. The story is utterly false, and is sngaarly
absurd in regard to him for more scrapOlously
than most of his sacred calling he has abstsned through
his whole ministerial life from all connection whatever
with party politics deemng ever that in his station the
warmest and highest patriotism may find ample employ.
mert in teaching and enforcing true and undeed re-
hgion." The story has this much foundaton-thst a
gentleman of the name and relative of the Rev Dr. Ca
peFs, native Of South Carolina, but citizen of Ala
bama member of the Bar inhat State did attend the
said Whig Convention, and did then and there he hal
aperfect right to do pronounce euIogium on Henry
Clay Whether the speech good or bad we have no
definite ideahut this know, that the story growing
out of it, is wholly and absolutely dishonest and dis
graceful to the partsans that use it.''
In addition TO this, DR.. Copers himself has
come ont IN the papers, and says he a0iu not oote
for a dEeIList, q gambler, or profane saoe0rer-
IN other soords that he .oiH NOT support Henrv
Clay for President.

Committee, having retired for a short time, repor.
ted the following, which were adopted:
1. ResoFoed, That we oppose the establishment of
National Bank because There is power ven to Con.
gress to establish It by the Federal Constitution be.
cause it is not either to regulate the exchanges
or, to furnish circulating medium and because, we
Believe such institution would be dangerous to the lib
critics of the country. -
q Resolped That we are moi the advocates of eitbe,
Tariff for protection of direct axaton-but of rev.
Tariff laid with strict reference TO the operations
of an economical governments; and we consider that
JUSTICE we'll sound policy forbid the General Gov
ernment to foster branch of industry to the detrmen
Of another to cherish the interest Of portion
the injury OF another portion Of our common country
8. Resotred, That the distribution of the proceeds q
the Public Lands, at time when the Treasury empty
and the country in debt, would, Mr. Clay said of the
same measure in 1882, would be I" unwse and imnoli-
tic - and, that the assumption of State Debts now o.
hereaer, would be grossly unjust, and papabe viola
ton of the letter and spirit OF the Constellation
f. Resolued, That Congress has power interfere
with control the domestic institutions of the several
States and that such States are the sole and proper
judges OF every thing spperaining to their affairs
prohibited by the Constitution; and that the recent
conduct of the abolonists in Congress is SUCH az to
create aara TO the permanency and stability Of the
Union, and ought to be Indignantly rowned down by the
friends of our political institutions
g. ResoIUed, That Mr. Clay, the candidate ofthe Fed
nominated in 1925 auelins speeeh chm oEer e snS
that his contemplated visit to this State as an open and
avowed eleconeerer for the Presidency, is gross in,
salt to our State pride, for which he merits the indig

dation and ruin upon the country. And how con-
temptible, how unspeakably mean are the expedi-
ents to which be and his followers resort to obtain
and retain popularity! Look at his present eiec-
-tioneering trip. Look at his egotism IN telling
his followers to go ahead in Ais cause and in call
ing that cause the cause Of the country. Look at
his efforts to make the nation drunk by songs, and
hardcider, and revolutionary professions, in order
that he may gull the people, and by their votes as
cend the summit of human power. Look at his
conduct towards the Free-Masons. D." This Royal
Arch Mason" as the Ohio Statesman says, lately
denounced and renounced Freeemusonry as
humbug, that he might get the vote of Pennsyf-
vania ); and this man who goes to church and
kaesLs, to fool the christians; who goes to New
Orleans and celebrates the 9Th of January to fool
the democrats who writes free trade letters to the
South to fool the antl-tarif men, and anti-masonic
letters 10 Pennsylvania to fool the ant-masons, is
fully understood, and the people will reject with
disdain such miserable humbuggery" We call
upon the Masons Of North Carolina to mark the
conduct of Mr.. Clay in this matter
The North-Carolina standard., 1844-04-03
AND NOW, LOOK ON THAT. i.

Let it never be forgotten that Henry Clay is
called "the Republic personi6ed; !" that his friends
consider has cause the cause Of the country; and
that this same Henry Clay, in the City of New
Orleans, in the midst of his heated and enthusas-
tic followers, after having violated the Sabbath by
forming professions, and carrying banners, and
reveling on that holy day, told the people "that
the cause they were engaged in tbis eG3sel was
glorious cause that they must go ahead, for
not speck obscuted the horizon"
Comment on the above is needless

says one who does not subscribe to the paper,
/" hand me out two or three papers. want to
read one tonight, and can hand the others to
somebody else" @Csrtain1y, SIR" responds the
poor Editor, and the papers are handed Out But
what would be thought Of the man who should go
to store and say, Hillo, Mr.. Storekeeper hand
me out two or three pounds of sugar. want TO
eat some of it myself, and give the balance to some
body else"2 Would not the storekeeper at least
think the man ought to pay something for the
sugar?

~ Ifthe private character of Mr.. Clay is at
tackled, and held up to the scofn and detestaton Of
all good men, his friends may blame themselves
for it in having falsely said that his habits have
changed, and that he is better now than he used to
be. And his is truly an engaging example to be
held up for the imitation ofthe young men Of the
u Statesi Indeed ever since Mr.. Clay return
ed from Europe, his character has been greatly
changed Before he went there, he was polite and
attentive to the ebumbestcitizens; now he is haugh
ty and overbearing, when he finds itis not against
his interest to be otherwise. That he will be ex-
tremely polite when he arrives in Raleigh, and
call all the people his esteemed fellow-cilizens is
more than probable; but it will be only from the
teeth out. The heart will have no part ia the
