DIRECT TAXES.

Gen Saunders is in favor of remodtlling the
Tariff of 1912, SO as to make it revenue tariff
by raising articles now free of duty to 20 pei
cent and reducing those which are now so high
as to exclude the articles altogether to 20 per cent
or to such sum as will give the greatest amount
of revenue Such tariff Mr.. Ewing, Gen.
Harrison's Secretary of the Treasury, calculated
would give nett revenue of twenty millions of
dollars Mr. Miller is in favor of Tariff for
protecting the Manufacturer, which now raises
thirteen millions of dollars per annum His can
didate Henry Clay, said in 1912, that twenty
two millions were necessary TO carry on the gov
ernment and two millions yearly to pay of. his
Whig National Debt. Gen. Saunders is for ap-
plying the proceeds of the sales of the public
lands to the payment of our debt; MIR. Miller is
for giving them away. The tariff which Gen.
Saunders prefers, will raise money enough to
pay the expenses of the government the tariff
which MIR. Miller prefers will fall short of this
seven millions per annum. If we cannot get
money enough from tariff to carry on the gov
we shall have to resort to direct taxes
he tariff supported by Mr.. Miller does not raise
enough money to carry on government; who,
hen, is in favor of direct tarcs' According to
Mr. MiIler's notions we must either tai directly
,r borrOw.

A BASE CALUMNY EXPOSED.

| We learn there has been circulated in the
counties of Moore and Chatham, a charge agains
Gen. Saunders, which would surprise every one,
but for the means resorted to by those who seem to
act upon the principle that 'the end justi6es the
means" The charge is that Gen Saunders was
guilty. during the late war, Of burning the Prcsi-
dent, Mr Madison tn eGgy. II might only be
necessary to state the charge, where Gen. Saun-
ders was known, to give it the lie-and we might
appeal to the people of Stokes, Rockingham and
CaSwell, counties which supported the war and
afterwards elected Gen Saunders to Congress !;
but fortunately we have more conclusive evidence,
in contradiction of the charge, drawn from the re-
cords of the Legislature. In 1915, the year in
which the war closed, Gen. Saunders was, for the
first time, elected to the Legislature from the
county of Caswell-a county which had been
more decided, perhaps, than any other, in support
of Mr.. Madison and the war. We quote from
the Journal of the House of Commons, Decem.
Der ii, 1915:
"The House, according to the order of the day,
proceeded to the consideration of the Resolution
presented by Mr. Bedford Brown in the following
words, to wit:
''ResolUed, That the frmness, energy and wisdom
which have characterized the political conduct of the
President of the United States James Madison) during
the late adnous contest of country, and his prompt
acceptance and ratification of honorable treaty. ente
him to the gratitude and thanks of this Legislature"
This Resolution, after various Intellectual at
tempts by the Federalfsts to amend it, passed by
vote of 76 yeas to 81 nays-R. III. Saunders cot
ing for the Resolution. This ofitself conclusive
ly refutes the SANDER. But if it did BOT, thou
sand witnesses could be had from the District af
terwards represented by Gen. S. in Congress,
and where is said the thing occurred, to contra
dict it. Gen. Saunders was then a young man,
and as we have always understood, was amongst
The most Jealous and ardent supporters of the war
in the country. And yet there are men, who
claim to be leaders in the Wing ranks, who have
he baseness to circulate this SANDER on the certi-
icate of some superannuated old mani Let them
be marked as fit objects for the finger of scorn to
DC pointed at and as deserving the detestaton of
Ill honorable men.
1t is due to Mr. Miller to remark, that he had
he manliness to say, from the stump, that he did
lot believe this story; and we have been led to
lotce and expose it only for the reason that we {
lear an attempt may be made to circulate it on
he day of the election. -.-.

DEMOCRATS TO THE POLLSl

Go to the polls tomorrow, fcllow-citizens, and
sustain Gen. Saunders The Wings are in q
high state of organization they are working a
ganst US both secretly and openly; let US give
Gen. Saunders at least two hundred majority in
Wake county. We can do this, and more, if we
will He has served US long and faithfully; let
us approve his past course, and his uniform devo-
ton to the great principles of democracy, by sus
tanning him triumphantly against the malignant
saults of the combined hosts of Federalism.

GALL THE DECENCY."

The Federal Wings say that the members o
the democratic party are rough and vulgar, and
boast that they possess all the decency and refine
ment. Is this 500 Let the following resolu
ton, recently adopted by Whig meeting in
Mississippi, answer: -..-. b,
Resolved, That we do most solemnly swear before
God and the people, this day that deeply and per-
manenty convinced that, under Providence, great and
abiding good would result 10 the people of this Unon
by the elevation Of Henry Clay to the Chief Magisra-
cy.' ..r -, .>-a4 g.. =.
These Wings were so corrupt that they could
not believe themselves, and had, therefore, to
strengthen their convictions by The solemnties Of
an oath But the Wings of Mississippi are not
entitled to all the hOmors of profanity and inde-
cency. At meeting of the "Whig Y Young Men"
of Newbern, (if the Newbernian is to be believ-
ed, held on the 10Th instant Resolutions were
passed, which outcurse the Mississippians 'all
hollow" Like simplctons, they attack some an
onymous correspondent or author of some sort,
and after abusing him to purgatory and back a.
gain, wind up by several oaths as accomplished in
their character any that were ever belched by
a drunken sailor For the honor of the country
we hope this degrading lndecency and profanity
will de discountenanced and frowned down.

~The Editor of the Standard most respect
fully and earnestly requests every democrat in
North Carolina to consider him his personal
friend, to correspond with him frequently and
freely, so that he may get regularly and accurate
Iy the best political information from every por-
ton of the State He would also again request
his friends to exert themselves in Increasing his
subscription list, not for his benefit, but for the
benefit and advancement Of the common cause
Erery additional democratic paper aOAieh IS cir

making regular speech, but consented to address
his felow-citizens in plain, conversational man

Every person present seemed highly pleased With
his remarks, as they must have been convinced
of the truth of the facts and arguments he advac-

The meeting, il viii be perceived, expressed no
preference for the Presidency. This is the true
co6rse. Let US give upevery thing for the cause,
whilst we yield nothing for men. Every demo
crat it is to be presumed has his choice, but 1t is
not expedient is it necessary, that every demo
crat should say upon whom that choice is fixed.
Until the National Convention shall have spoken
for the country, let US all talk more about prin-
ciples and less about men. Let US uphold and
explain our principles; and let US defend all the
democratic candidates against the attacks OF all.
And when we shall ka01o upon whom we are to
centre, then let every man fly to his post, and
fight until the battle is over and the victory secur
ed And woe be to that man, be he the friend of
Van Buren, Calhoun, johnson, Cass or Buchanan,
who seeks now, or who shall seek hereafter, to
introduce spirit of dscord and disafftction into
The democratic ranks II ....
The resolutions adopted by the meeting breathe
1 spirit of energy and organization: and they call
upon the different counties of the State for action
regular and undivided action
And the democracy of North Carolina were never
yet called upon in vain. They aciU arouse and
organize; and in the great contest which is ap-
the nominee of the Whggery will be
most completely and efectually beaten.

We are glad to sec that the bestowment of pen.

Parliament refused to grant pension to prin.
cess of the blood royal; and on the 3Oth of June
motion was made in Parliament to discontinue
the pension of one hundred thousand dollars an.
nually paid to the king of Hanover Sir Robert
Peel opposed the motion, and so did Mr.. Ferrand,
who declared that he honored and revered the
king of Hanover-a declaration which was re.
ceived with roars of laughter. This king Of
Hanover is the "prince of ten acre patch" and
has been drawing his pensions and living in state
in Germany, whilst thousands of Englishmen,
the descendants of those who fought at Cressy
and Agincourt and Waterloo, have been starving
