The North-Carolina standard., 1846-03-11

sorator from North Carolina whether they were to
understand him as speaking authoIitatlvely otlhe
Presidents views, and whether he was prepared 10
compromise on the 49lh degree. We shall moi
repeat the expressions which were employed by the
three senators, nor remark on the manner IN which
the questions were propounded and answered Up
on the whole, Mr.. Haywood declined answering
any catechisms, except by repeating the remarks
which he had made in his speech. !, l.st
" May we be permitted TO say that we did mol
ourselves understand Mr.. Haywood as intending 10
sneak authoritatiyeY in the name OF the PRESIDENT
except from the printed documents: We say,
with all respect shat man, out OF his cabinet, Is
authorized to speak er .cdthedra for him on this
delicate and important question. He has express
ed his opinions in his message, or through the
letters of the Secretary of State. We presume,
that no one has right TO speak for him but from
the documents which he has submitted 10 his coun-
Try. His future course must be judged by his past
conduct. MIR. Allen was himself interrogated the
other daY upon this question by the senator from
Maryland and Mr.. A. referred TO the PresICenrs
documents for his answer. We can entertain no
doubt, that such was the meaning OF lhe senator
from North Carolina /; and nothing but The extra
ordinary character of the passing scene probably
prevented him from making similarly pro01pt ex-
PLANTATION. But the scene is over; and, we have
no doubt, any little irritation, and all hasty re-
marks, have passed with It. The generous spirit
of the senators will prevent their repetition. They
are all the friends of the President. No eVanescent
remarks will swerve him from his course, nor dis
turb that self balanced equanmity of spirit which
graces the Chief Magistrate, who is determined TO
do his duty, amid all the difficulties that beSet his
path whether they proceed from political enemies
or his friends at home from the cabinets OF for
eign nations"
We repeat, we have not seen the Speech of Mr..
Haywood, and therefore, any remarks which
might be suggested by the above extract from the
Union, are necessarily postponed for the present
And now, what does all this teach us2 1t for
ces upon US, with power which nothing can re-
sist, the conclusion that the " Notice" ought to
have been passed Immediately by the Senate
and it teaches the great danger there is in per-
mitting debate upon it any longer to divide and
irritate the democratic party in that body. The
Representatives of the people have spoken-Iot
the Senate hearken to the voice of the people.
We repeat what we said last week:
LET the Notice" be giHen, and all the recon-
mendations of the President be strictly adhered TO
in a word, let Great Britain that we desire
peace but that at the same time we are deteTmIn-
ed TO make sacrifice of honor or of principle
for temporary advantages. We have the strongest
confidence in the President and in the majority in
Congress; and we look to them TO carry out all
the great measures they have so gloriouslY begun"
The responsibility is now with the democratic
majority in the Senate Will that majority fall
ter? Will it not 60 with the PRESIDENT Will
it not sustain him promptly and at once2 DIFF
ferences about the form or the manner of the
Notice are all idle The people demand the
substance-they care not for the sh0dOc; and
their voices will be heard, sounding from all quar-
ters of the Union, until the Notice" is given.
