The Mericas Preamble Legislature.


Will the Raleigh Register come forward and
tetl the people what II really thinks Of the late
Legislature Will II dare to speak out the, SEN
timents of the masses Of hs party ygkerea Mott
will not. Since the Adjournment we have con,
versed>with number Of men of both parties, and
the almost universal wish here Is. chat such bo-
dy as that was may never again assemble in this
City. Both sldes concur in fading fault with
it-6Ot6 sides denounce il !; and we hazard moth
ing in saying. that if an election could be held
nOao for members Of the Legislature and for Gov
ernor, It would result in the signal triumph ofthe
Democratic party. Be il the duty and the con-
sapt work. of our friends to keep the deeds of the
late Assembly fresh in the peoples minds. We
call upon the Democratic members, again and
again, to carry out at home with all possible earn
estness and vgor, the noble and patriotic determ-
nation with which they left this City. - s-


In old times-before Mexican Preamble I"
Wings and Massachusetts FederaIis.s got The con-
troll in this State-the Legislature assembled TO
take care Of the States interests and 10 advance
the good Of the people; but what is the case now
What benefits have the Wings in their late AS
sembly conferred upon the peoplei Let US SEQ:

They turned Democrats out Of all the Offices
they could lay their hands upon, and put in
Wings; and the Wings now hold all tho Offices





OF the Supreme Court, two of the Superior Court,
the Major of the Regiment and one Doorkeepcr
of the Senate. The Judges they dare not touch,
for the Constitution so far as it concerns them Is
too plain to be disregarded; the Major was ap.
pointed in order that they might boast of their
iiberality in giving one Officer to Democratic
Regiment; and the Doorkeeper, they themselves
admit, was elected by accident These are facts,
and they constitute Benefit No 1. for the people
of the State. salf-s-.-a

They Re-Districted the State for party purpos-
|es. In l842 the Democrats, being in the MAORI
ty, and the time having arrived laid off the State
into Congressional Districts. Of the Districts it
turned out that the Wings got Goura and the Demo
Gratis five. Al the late Assembly the Wings un.
settled ak this-broke in upon an arrangement
designed TO stand for ten years. and so re-arranged
the Districts as to give the Democrats three men,
bers and themselves sic. This was done to in.
crease the Offices for Whig leaders, and to get
three more Whig members of Congress. These
are facts, and they constitute Benefit No. 2, for
the people Of the State


.. BENEFIT No g.


They refused TO give aid to the gallant Volun-
tecrs from this State, without coupling with that
aid declaration that the War in which those
Volunteers are called 10 fight is unconstitutional
they said 10 the Volunteers 60 and meet the enc
my, and here are a few dollars for each man of
you-5ut remember, this IS The Presidents Var
he commenced it, and you have to finish it they
debated this Resolution and Preamble daV after
day, at heavy expense TO the State, when if they
had struck out the Preamble, the money would
have been voted at once; they compelled the
Democrats to vote for or against the Preamble
and Resolution as whole, and when told of the
ineffab!e liuleness of their conduct they replied,
that the pill had been carefully prepared, and
must be taken !; ard they wound up their action
in relation to the Regiment by keeping back, un-
der Caucus screws, from the Volunteers the right
to elect their own Field Officcrs and by giving
the power to appoint to the Governor, who has
made his selections from party considerations and
on party grounds These are facts, and they
constitute Benefit No for the people of the State


BENEFIT No T.


They found the State in debt and what did they
|do2 Why they borrowed her out Of debt, to be
surel Did you never hear of mans borrowing
himself cat of debt? One hundred thousand dol
lars moro from the Literary Fund. and no tax BILL
which deserves the name, passed to meet princi-
pal and interest They were in session sixty-four
days, at an expense of some fifty thousand dollars
to the State, and they went home without adopting
any adequate scheme of finance, teauing tile STATE
more deeply sncoIred, and her peeuniary affairs
more desperate Than s1hen they assembled IN No
rember! These are facts and they constitute
Benefit No for the people of the State.


We challenge the Raleigh Register, or dny
other Wing paper, to attempt defence Of the
late Legislature; and we call upon the people to
witness this challenge and see whether or not it is
accepted in good faith.
