THE NORTH CAROLINIAN

"He that krowelh his masters ~'" o"'
dosth it not, shall be beaten soiln '"a"s
,t,;pe,." Such is The language Of holy W"
and no man can better testify to its truth 'n'"
Henry Clay. No man has more reason -
its teaching; but it has all Oee'
lost upon him. One would suppose na'
after The stripes inflicted upon him in his '"o
races for the Pfesidehcy, that he ~oulo no
more ak fayors where he received only kicks
He has long been the servant Of the people
he has often shewn himself regardless Of 'ne'
will-he has received his promised reward 'ne
stripes; yet he copaes forward again, aud 'o'
the last time; and we call upon the people 70
fulfil the scripture, and 10 mark him with sue"
stripes of ,heN disapprobation, as will make
him feel how much he has mistaken tne"'
when he expected reward for his uisobedience'
The Globe is dissec,ing Mr. Ciay's Raleigh
speech. Mr. Clay is losing what little demo-
cracy he had: He is attempting to eradicate
repubiicanism by striking at its very roofs
He is denying the principle that every Peo-
pie have a right TO alter modify and chanse
their government. whenever they think pro-
per- He saws it Is an ss abstract principle,
which with cautious limitations may be true
ANY man that has even the shadow OF 9
doubt Of The right c: tho Peora
modify their government, or shews an ircli-
nation to abroga,e tina, right. is no republican.
The authorities for this right are seen in u
Madison, a Locke, Story, in the Declara-
ton Of independence, in a Marshall. &C.;
aud it is doctrine of common sense; for ask
any plain farmer that never read any OF the
g,eat authors, ask him if the people have moi
right to alter and modify their government
whenever they think proper. There Is moi
one in ten but hat would say that such were
his notions of u republican government. Ye
Mr. Clay thinks the doctrine an "0osfrac
principle. which with cautious limitations
may be true.
We must confess that We are surprised tha
Mr. Clay should make such m avo"a'; but III
does it deliberately, in a speech revised by hi
own hand. We thought he had some repub
licanism, but we can think so no longer.
% We believe the ~hg presses, generally
will not admi, anything against the present Ia
riffbiIl they think i, all perfection; but wher
we come 10 look at the rote, the question natu
rally arises, " Ii it was such good bill, VIII
do these gentlemen of the protective tariff
American system party, vote against it Z" Ii
the Senate, Messrs Archer, Benien, Clayton
Graham, Henderson, Maugum, Merrick
Preston and Rives, all good wings. but South
ern Senator'S, voted against it, Now we asl
our viii. brethren, If this is such good bin
as the whig presses would make believes
is, why did these Southern gentlemen so
against it? and does not their vote 70 L
strengthen wha. the democratic party alledg
against the bin, nan ely, tia, ii is too high an
protective in its nature?
Only two democrats, Buchanan and NriSh
and both from manufacturing States, ,ote
| for it, because Of the known will Of their con
| stituents.
Ask one Of our whig merchants, or q whi
Bauk officer, how it would do 10 take th
Banks out of Fayetteville, aud he would hot
at you, aud tell you that no business could b
done, The place would go down; that the bus
ness now done by many would concentrai
in the hands OF few. Well, this may be .,
but all we have to say is, that taking away ID
Banks has had no such effect upon oths
cities, as we see by the following in X
Iaion 10 Buffalo, where an immense trade
carried on:
The population Of the city Of Buffalo, N. Y
is now over 10000 souls. In 1s4O lhe pop,
Iation was but little over $4,000. The ir
crease since that timo is about $4,000, or 6
per cent in four years.
! There are no banks in Buffalo. 1t il
great evil that the public do not understan
more about these institutions.
/ HURRA FOR BLADEN!
