On this point of taxation the ablest <lb/>
pens and most eloquent tongues <lb/>
have been exercised, and the great- <lb/>
est spirits have acted and suffered. <lb/>
The English people have held that <lb/>
this privilege of granting money <lb/>
had been acknowledged in ancient <lb/>
parchments and blind usages to re- <lb/>
side in of Commons, as <lb/>
an immediate representative of the <lb/>
people; and not content with de- <lb/>
fending the excellence of the English <lb/>
Constitution upon this matter as a <lb/>
point of fact, they took infinite <lb/>
pains to inculcate, as a <lb/>
principle, that in all forms of <lb/>
the people must <lb/>
effect themselves, mediately or <lb/>
mediately, possess the of <lb/>
granting their own money, or no <lb/>
shadow of liberty subsist. <lb/>
colonies drew from their moth- <lb/>
country, as with their life-blood, <lb/>
these ideas and principles. Their <lb/>

might be safe or might be <lb/>
in twenty other particulars <lb/>
without their being much pleased <lb/>
or alarmed. Here they its <lb/>
and as they that beat <lb/>
thought themselves or <lb/>

With this characteristic of <lb/>
English people, with <lb/>
principle of their constitution. <lb/>
may conclude on for <lb/>
Col. John Ashe, of the county of j serving constitution, <lb/>
New Hanover, and Col. Waddell, the execution of several <lb/>
the county of Brunswick, marched illegal acts of the British <lb/>
at head of the brave sons of <lb/>
these counties to forbid and prevent <lb/>
the landing of the obnoxious cargo. <lb/>
Accomplishing this they then march- <lb/>
ed in triumph to Wilmington to <lb/>
confront the Royal <lb/>
nor ; they demanded of him to de- <lb/>
from all attempts to execute <lb/>
Stamp Act, and to produce to them <lb/>
James Houston, who was a member <lb/>
the Council, an inmate of the <lb/>
Governor's house, and who had been <lb/>
appointed by Stamp Master <lb/>
for North Carolina. Courageous as <lb/>
he was, Le dreaded the of <lb/>
storm. The spirit of the <lb/>
representative of even kingly pow- <lb/>
yielded the majesty of a <lb/>
virtuous and incensed people. The <lb/>
Governor then reluctantly produced <lb/>
Houston; who carried by the <lb/>
to the public market place, and <lb/>
there forced take a solemn oath <lb/>
not to attempt to execute his office <lb/>
as Stamp Master. He was then <lb/>

from Pitt, Edgecombe, <lb/>
Sampson, Wayne, Greene, <lb/>
Granville, Warren and <lb/>

and from Southampton, <lb/>

have had some experience and some <lb/>
observation in the projection and in- <lb/>
of such enterprises, and <lb/>
say without hesitation and with <lb/>
much confidence that one <lb/>
pupils is a good exhibit for first <lb/>
year. This clearly shows the wiN <lb/>
of the people to patronize <lb/>
an Institution in Henderson. <lb/>
There is a notable fact that needs to <lb/>
be emphasized, and it is, that there <lb/>
has not a case of serious sick- <lb/>
during the entire session, and <lb/>
there has been a necessity for <lb/>
medical attention at all. The young <lb/>
ladies look well and healthy. This <lb/>
