This same paper, the Ashevie News, contains
the follow ing notice of the discussion Asheville on
the sad instant, between Messrs. Reid and Manly:
Messrs. Manly and Reid, candidates for Govern
or addressed the people of the county this place
on Monday last. Gov. Manly led off in speech of
considerable length and defined his position on State
and cd Hn &c in Eopop of
liberal system Of Internal I'm provements-of dis
ribution of the School Fund according to white pop
ulation, and denounced the present basis Of dixribu
iion gross outrage" against the rights IF the Hes
tern peope.-advocated an extension of Suffrage, but
said nothing about a change in the basis Of repre-
sentation-arraigned Col. Reid's Oregon vote, and
his against various western Improvements, and
for selling poor white men unable to pay costs in
certain cases, &c. &c.
Col. Reid is in favor of judicious system of i'm
provements-in favor of Free Suffiage-opposed to
changing the basis of distribution of School money
opposed to any alteration in the basis Of represent
aton-refused to vote for certain improvements be-
cause he didn't want to waste the public money
justified his Oregon vote on the ground that that
Territory north Of the Missouri Compromise
line, &c. &c.
The following additional extracts from the News
will show more clearly the grounds upon which the
Editor is supporting Gov. Manly, and what he means
"MARk THE WoRDs! Col Reid told the people
in his speech here the other day that il they united
the Free Suffrage question with change Of the basis,
then ,vouM nerer get either! Fellow citizens-free-
men of the West! mark these ,0ords If you insist
upon two of your rights you shall have neither! Col
Of his party, and you now know what to expect.
Are you prepared to be blued in this manner! Give
up your claim to equality in the administration Of
the Government You shall not even be allowed to
vote, although your votes may not amount to any
thing!! This is the language of the leader of the
Democratic party to the free people Of the West!
Gov. Manly not only advocates Free Suffrage, but
is willing that the people shall decide for themselves
in amending their own constitution. He does not
arrogate himself the right dictate the people
what laws they shall pass for their own government
Mark the difference between the men! One says,
thus far you may go, but no farther! The other
says 1" you free men, amend your constitution
you think right; will not dictate you whatever
is your pleasure will faithfully carried out.''
Behold the difference! Choose.ye between them.'
The News after thus showing the 's difference -
between Col. Reid and Gov. Manly. goes on to de-
nounce the former friend to the present basis:
"Col. Reid and the Eastern Democrats are strugg-
ling hard to prevent the estern people from insist
ing for change in the basis of representation, but
tell them that the people of the West deter
mined upon that change-i piW be made-i must
come! The Western counties have been imposed
upon long enough already, and nothing but thor
oug and radical reform of the constitution in this par
t!cuar will satisfy the people.
We Can tell Col. Reid one thing that he is proba-
bly, not aware of-the Western people don't want
they woni hare Free Suffrage, soithout EQC.7L SUE.
fR.iGE. Mark the words. When it is tested see
whether they will indignantly spurn the shado,v
cf right-hs tinkIing brass, unless they get along
with ii that which is worth so mething-that which
has some substance connected with it-a change Of
the basis.
The day is coming when this right will be granted
such rank injustice stinks in the nostrls of all good
men, and is offensive TO Heaven. Time will effect
this cangeit must do it in the very nature of things
Nothing short Of this will satisfy the people. Their
Will is omni potent and must prevail
This same paper, be it remembered, supported
Gov Manly a, first with much reluctance; but
out for something more than Equal Suffrage, wit,
the abolition of the federal basis, changed its
and began to advocate his reelection in the warmest
and most enthusiastic terms.
Why did not Gov. Manly deny at Asheville, as he
has done by his letters to the East that he came out
atWentwor,h against the federal basis! The News
says he '' said nothing about change of basis at
Asheville. was not necessary that he should. He
had already oa for the change, and the fact had
preceded him and he left this fact still to be infer
red from his silence while he strengthened this infer
ence by denouncng the present law distributing the
School Fund according to federal population, as
"GROSS OUTRAGE against the rights of the
