On motion of Col. Bggs, of Martin, the Conyen-
ton adjourned until Thursday morning ten o'clock
THURSDAY MORNING, 10 O'CLOCK A. NJ.
The Convention re-assembled, the President in
the Chair. The Hon. Asa Biggs, made the following
report from the Committee Resolutions
We the Delegates of the Democracy of North Car
DINA, in Convention assembled, considering the
cason proper one for the re-asserton of the we'll
defined and time-honored principles that bind US
together as party, do Resolve
1st. That we are for rigid construction Of the
Constitution of the United States, grant of linn
tied powers for an Independent Treasury and a
gainst United States Bank for Tariff for revenue
and against Tariff for protection; for economy in
the administration of the federal government, and
against extravagant expenditures; for early pay
ment Of the public debt, and against the payment
of unjust and unfounded claims. .
3D. ResoZced That President Pierce, by his In
augural Address and annual Message, and by his
devotion to the Constitution and rights of the States
therein manifested, has sgnaly justified the expec-
tatlons of the American Democracy, in elevating
him to the distinguished position he fills; and
In the administration of the government upon the
principles thus boldly avowed by him. he will place
himself where he deserves to stand high in the list
of American Presidents
3d. Re8oJced, That the bill now pending before
Congress to organize the territories of Nebraska and
Kansas, has our hearty approval; and we tender to
Senator Douglas and other members of Congress
from non-sayeholding States, our thanks for their
manly, patriotic and national course on this ques-
ton. -
4th. Resolced, That the public lands the COM
mon property of the people of the United States and
therefore any disposition of them for the sole and
exclusive benefit of any of the States would be
unjust and unconstitutional
9th. Resolced, That the public lands, being the
common property of the people of all the Safes,
should be held as common fund and disposed of
for the common benefit of a-frst, in the payment
of the public debt and then in defraying the expen-
ses of the federal government, as to reduce the
taxes now imposed upon the common necessaries of
life ~
9th. Reso5oed, That the Democracy Of the State
have reason to be proud of the administration of
public affairs under David s. Reid 5 that he has
and in addison ~ th he has acbaTed
originator and champion of Free Suffrage and as the
long-tried and unwayering advocate of the peoples
rights, he will carry with him in his retirement from
his present post the consciousness of having dedcas
ted his best energies to the public good and the sim
cere and enthusiastic confidence of the Democratic
party.

The Convention re-assembled at half past three,
Hon. Asa Biggs in the Chair The Committee on
the permanent organization of the Convention, re-
ported through Mr.. Wright of Cumberland, Hon.
a RENCHER, OF Chatham, President of the
Convention. Mr.. Rencher was unanimously chosen
President of the Convention, and was conducted to
the Chair by Col j. B. Jones, of Currituck, and G.
G. Wright, Esq of Cumberland whereupon he ad-
dressed the Convention as follows:
Gentlemen Of the ConUention:
accept with pleasure the post which your kind
ness has assigned me, and should be equally unjust
to myself and unworthy of you, if 1 did not feel
grateful for it. Though dfdent of my ability to do
justice to the station, throw myself at once upon
your generous indulgence.
Gentlemen, we are assembled here to consult for
the common good, not merely of the democratic
party, but the common good of our common coun-
try. That country has advanced from infancy and
weakness to manhood, national greatness and ma
tlonal renown, under the benign influences of Dem
ocratic principles and under the admnistrationof De-
mocratie statesmen: While, therefore, we look back
upon the past with exultaton and pride, we can
look forward to the future with the fullest confidence
of triumphant success.
Two important subjects present themselves for the
consideration OF the Convention: the declaration of
our principles and the selection of standard BEAR
er in whose hands these principles are not to suffer
detriment. Fortunately for US the Democratic par
ty can boast of many honored members who stand
ready and able to bear your standard aloft in the
hottest OF the fight at your command vet we have
ambitious aspirants to distract the harmony of
our councils. So too of our principles. While we
have old repudiate because they have been
found to be unpopular, we have no new ones to an
nounce merely for popular effect. Oar principles
have come down to us embalmed by time and with
the sign manual of the fathers of the revolution If
any new order of things at home or abroad shall
make 1t necessary to add new articles to the demo-
cratic creed these articles to be democratic must
nave Tor their the extension of popular rights
and the perpetuatiens of popular liberty
Very different, gentlemen, is the past history and
present position of our political ad7ersaries That
party in 1871, being then in power IN both houses
.. Congress, puonsned what they called Wig

VETO OF THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL

The following message was on Friday re-
ceived by the House of Representatives. Its
import was understood, but it was not read
prior to the adjournment:
WASHINGTON, august q, 1854.
To me House Of Representatives.
have received the bill entitled An act
making appropriations for the repair, preser-
walton and completion, of certain public works
heretofore commenced under the authority OF
law IL reaches me in the expiring hours Of
the session, and time does not allow full oppor-
tunity for examining and considering its pro-
visions, or of stating at length the reasons
which forbid me to give it my signature. II
belongs to that class Of measures which are
commonly known as internal improvements by
the General Government, and which, from q
very early period, have been deemed of doubt
full constitutionality and expediency, and have
thus failed to obtain the appreciation of suc-
cessive Chief Magistrates.
On such an examination Of this bill as it has
been in my power to make, ] recognise in il
certain provisions national in their character,
and which, if they stood alone,si would be
compatible with my conviction Of public duty
others which are merely local, and not, in my
/
struction of the Constitution.
To make proper and sound determinations
between these different provisions would re-
qeire deliberate discussion of general princi-
ples as well as careful scrutiny of details,
for the purpose of rightfully applying those
principles to each separate item of appropria-
ton. Public opinion with regard to the value
and importance of internal improvements in
the country is undivided. There is DISPOSE.
ton, on all hands, to have them prosecuted
with energy, and to see the benefits sought to
be attained by them fully realized.
The prominent point of difference between
those who have been regarded as the friends
of o system of internal improvements by the
General Government and thoee adverse to
such system, has been one Of constitutional
power, though mora or less connected With
considerations of expectancy. My own judg-
ment it il we'll known, has, on beth grounds,
been opposed to q agcneral system of Internal
Improvements by the Federal Government.
! have entertained the most serious doubts,
from the inherent difficulties of its application,
as we'll as from past unsatisfactory experience,
whether the power could be 90 exercised by
the General Govcrnment a. to render ITS use
advantageous either to the country at large or
efectuaa for the accomplishment OF tho object
contemplated.
Ishall consider il incumbent on me 10 pre-
sent to Congress, q its next sessi0n, . matured
view Of the whole subject and 10 endeayor to

Encouraged by this bold opinion Of the Wis
conan Court we cannot doubt that before long
tne Northern coarts generally will come 10 the
same conclusion; and then. in face of the mass
of judicial opinion in the largest section of the
country, the Law cannot stand but must be
materially modified or repealed. Let il be
pronounced by the Judges unconstitutional. as

in case no substitute should be devised capable
Of reconciling differences, both of constitution

In the absence Of the requisite means and
