KEEP THIS BEFORE THE PEOPLE.


The following is an extrac, from Col. Reid's re-
cent Address to the people Of North Carolina:
"What is the dearest privilege Of American ci,i.
zen! 1t is to exercise tho great and inesmabe right
of suffrage. In advocating this reform do not now,
nor have at tme proposed to change the basis OF
Representation for either the Senate House Of Com
MONS Let that remain as it is. What l propose is,
to permit erery ,cho entitled to rote for the
Commons, to rote also for the Senate.
Our basis Of Representation for branch
of the Legislature is taxation. for the other is federal
population The Ahoonists at the North wish to les-
troy the bssis Of federal population upon which
represented in Congress. regard their the
subject misehicvous and dangerous, and should
gard a similar movement in relation to representa-
ton in the Legislature raught with equal mischief and
danger
We copy the following from tho Greensborough
Patriot, Wing paper. The extract is from ac-
count in that paper Of tho discussion at Salem be-
tween Messrs. Reid and Manly; and this account,
published at length, may be found in the Raleigh
Star of the 10th and the Register of the 18th Instant
"Gov. Manly then commenced u review of the public
acts of Col Reid by calling the attention Of the auditory
to his (Col Rcds vote in the State Legislature the
bill establishing Common Schools. He gave brief his
tory of the origin and object of this School fund He said
the fund created to school the white children of the
State and particularly the poor and ignorant portion that
the Of Col. Reid had been divert it from this
purpose and had been in part the of this fund be-
ing divided among the Counties according to federal num-
bers. Instead of heing divided according to white pop
ulaton should hare been done. That by these votes
of COL Reids the West had lost thousands of dollars
nuay and thus the ,ceaAhy sIareholding counties Of
the East, where they able to send their children
abroad to school, received undue proportion IF the
School tund.
He showed up the satisfaction of all COL Rcds
hobby of free suffrage that if the privilege Of voting
for Senators allowed to every entitled to
vote for member of the House of Commons it would
not COL Reid contends, equaize the right Of suffrage
For illustration The county of Onso. with 500 voters
entitled Senator while the counties of Wilkes
Caldwell, Burke and Mcdowell, with 1000 voters,
only entitled Senator. This is glorious reform
indeed Yet Reid opposed to any change in the basis

WILLIAM RuFus KING, one Of the Senators from the
State of Alabama, be President Of the Senate, that

as in public affairs generally, for which he is equally
fit by his personal qualities of uprghtness, courtesy,
and dignity Of manners.

that noble City, T.centy acres of the business por-
tion of the City, were swept by the devouring flames.
The Pennsylvania says:
1T is estimated that more tha 5000 persons are
rendered houseles by this dsaster-as much twen-
ty acres of ground burnt over. and loss in dwe:-

fend the claims of New Mexico by military force
against Texas-should he, in word, array himself
against the constitutional rights of the South, that
moment the Union will be gone, and President Fill
more will be crushed amidst its ruins. We trust
that he will have the good sense, the patriotism, the
courage, to act like American statesman, and lend
his influence to adjustment of the question, with
due regard to the rights of all sections.
Atall events, we have one consolation. The pain
full suspense which has long har1assed the South,
cannot longer continue. The issue must now be met

Richmond Enquirer.
RuMoRs. The city is full of rumors concerning the
formation Of the new Cabinet. Among them the
most current are that MI. Webster is to have the
Department of State, and that strenuous efforts
made for the retention of Messrs. Ewing and Coll
amer in the Interior and Post Office.
But the most difficult and delicate part of the ar
rangement is, to the Southern members of the new
Cabinet. Very few Southern men, we understand,
can be found who will take office without some know.
edge of the policv of the new President. Messrs.
Benien, Dawson, Toombs, King and Thompson, are
spoken of for the Departments of War and Navy.
But difficulty as to the two Senators arises from
the knowledge that, if either appointed to the
Cabinet his place would be filled by Democrat.
Judge Arthur Hopkins, of Alabama, is spoken of as
Attorney General. Governor Graham Of North Car.
ona, is also referred to prominently for the War
Navy Departments.
Others are spoken of quite confidently, but their
names are not yet out and we are not now at liberty
to refer to them. Washington Press.
