The North-Carolina standard., 1850-07-31
For the North Carolina Standard
GOV. MANLY AND THE BASIS.

to the Editors, from gentleman of undoubted ve-
racity'':
"Perm, me to call your attention to the fact that
Gov. Manly's illustrations in reply TO Reid and
Free suffage) relate to the &nate, and not to the
House of Commons and she federal basis.'
This, Mr.. Editor is a very important admission,
coming it does from Greensborough, taken in con-
nection with the fact that the candidate for the Sc
nate for Gnilford is advocating change Of the Con-
stitution from the principle of toraiion TO that Of
white population. This is quite as bad as that Of
change Of the federal basis. What says Wake, who
pays 3,O56 in taxes, whereas Guilford pays only
$l,9s9' What New Hanover, who pays 1896
Halifax. s2,a47-Granville, ss.46s-Edgecombe,
paying Counties in the East! Are you willing to
vote for Gov. Manly, when he agrees with his friend
MIR. Gmer, in changing the taxation basis in the
Senate for thai of white population?
There is certainly something wrong in this busi-
Manly as friend to the white basis instead of the
federal basis in the House of Commons and here is
friend. the Editor Of the Star says, of undonbt
ed veracity," who says Gov. Manly is for a change
in the Senate from that of taxation to white popua-
tion The truth is, Gov. Manly is in the West seek
ing votes. and that have doubt. at the expense
of the East. For one shall not be deceived and say
Gov. Manly ought to be ashamed Of himself:
AN EASTERN VOTER.

Ma. HOLDEN: wish to have published In your
paper few lines, if you will allow farmer small
space in its columns; and I am sure am far from
being the only that is willing and anxious
TO say what ] am now going to say. That isl neu-
er erpect 10 pote for another Wing. 1t is known in
my neighborhood and County, that have always
been called a Whig; that have always voted for
that party. And am now convinced that in so do
ing l have always done wrong And know also
that have found this almost too late but while
the lamp holds out burn the vilest sinner may
turn" I have been duped and humbugged by fair
promises, fancy pictures, Buena Vista, Palo Alto and
Resacca, until have helped to place my country on
the verge of ruin. Before the next baloting takes
place who can say that nation will not be involved
in civil war Who knows that the North may not
be met upon the great line that divides from the South
by an invncibIe army that may mark that line with
the blood of our people! I shall 80 for Cok Reid
and Free Suffrage against Manly, his basis and Sodom
solved again to vote another Wing ticket. Old
franklin will give Reid long pull. strong pull,
and pull altogether. She is safe for the Polk ma
iorty. The white basis I" cant come it " in the East.
Hurrah for Reid wake up Buncombe and say
the Galphns Give 'em Jesse. We have the pow
er let US have lhe will, and strike for 5000 majority
against secret circulars the State of Edgecombe and
slander. sI shall 60 for Reid, if hear on the eve Of
the election that he has stolen sheep fan.ml-
that he has voted for the Wi;mot proviso and sold
poor white men. The Gales have blown hard against
the Times have passed him, and the Herald heralded
his funeral but the Banner bears him hard against
the breeze. They used to tell me about national
bank protective tariffs hard cider, distribution, coon
skins, no veto, and old gourds; but resign all my
right, title and interest in ssd articles to the mimi
table, Charley. CARNEY PHELPS.
