IHE WHtG CONVENTION. al naieigh, was great
affair in the opinion of those who attended it; but
after a there were but 44counties out of the 10 in
the State, and l60 delegates. Now. the Democratic
party had IS counties represented, being only less
than ~ and l25 delegates; that in point Of num-
bers the difference but small in point Of talents,
doubt if We were behind at all and in point Of
unanmity, there is question that were far ahead
Of the Wing Convention.
The resolutions of the Wing Convention are rich
and raey. The first resolution expresses unabated
confidence in Whig principles - The Wings are
emPhatically "confdence men. They adapt their
principles like their wearing apparel 10 suit the times.
They have been beaten upon the National Bank
principle, and dropped that these resolutions say
nothing about that. They have been beaten upon the
high protective tariff principle, and they say nothing
about that. They have been beaten upon Internal
Improvements by the general government; and they
say nothing about that. They made nothing by their
opposition to the Mexican war, and they say nothing
about that. And yet they have " undated conf
dence in Whig principles!
Their second resolution says that they are deter
mined to repe all entertainments upon the constitu-
tona rights of the South and at the same time up
hold the national union: This is glad news; for a
great many are of opinion that it is quite time they
should do so. Better late than never.
Their third resolution talks of liberty and indepen-
dence, things that whiggery never would have been
acquainted with. if it had not been for Democracy.
Their fourth resolution demands that the slavery
question sOdii De seue0, ana the NTH approves the
eeaezal plan of the compromise bill Of the committee
OF IL, with some amendments not specified.
Their sixth resolution expresses their confidence u
(again) in Gen. Zachary Taylor! They believe tha,
he will do his whole duty to his country. Well,
believe he would, IL. he knew ,chat his duty scas but
u is, he has to resign that important trust his
cabinet.
Their seventh resolution recommends that the State
Legislature do take steps ascertain the sense
OF the people in regard to the propety of amending
equal suffrage, or land qualification for senate voters
The eighth resolution and preamble say that, as
many of the people of the State desire the election
Judges Of the Supreme and Superior Courts, treasu
Ter comptroller, secretary of State and justices of thu
peace and other officers" by the people. the Legis
ature ought to take some steps to ascertain the sen
timents Of the people on the subject.
Gen. Saunders wanted to know what was mean
by other officers" Sherifs and constables are al
ready elected by the people.
Let be observed that these resolutions do no
take the bold ground that the Judges &c., ssand othe
officers" ought to be elected by the peoples but tina
the will Of the people ought to be ascertained which
plainly means this cannot favor such Democrat
yet we fear to oppose it, and we agre
that # tie people desire 1t, we must submit LIE
them have credit then being least accommodating
What does the democratic convention saw upon thes
points! Why that the land qualification ought to b
abolished, and the Judges ought to be elected Their
10 something bold and grand in that; no equvocatin,
and sheItering behind ifs and ands. We, the demo
cratic people Of the State, are for these measures
who 10 against them! We want no shutting. LIE
the whig people speak out. Their Conuens;on wa
afraid to do It. North CaroEnian.
