It Is remarkable iac that shsrs hss blsn, and IS
at this time, more dissatil csis withE Coz Manly q
Administration in 1e ni,sds his ossa rdsfy. than
has existed Al any former period in the mind Of the
people generally, Of both pastes towards other Gov
ernors. One of the Whig organs--the Rnthenordton
Bannef-denounces himas the :. tool of fscton -
here at the centre, which has been an incubus
upon the Wing party for years, and ga esrse to the
State and that paper not only utterly refuses to
support him for reelecton bnt goes openly and bold
ly for David s. Reid, the Peoples Candidate. The
Banner also ridicules his Sodom Speech as i'm
pious - =. low and vulgar '.as tame and school
boyish ''-as " unworthy T" Of one whois Governor,
and unworthy - even " Of Gov. Manly" The
Asheville News, another Wing paper also says that
Gov. Manly 'cannot get the full Whg vote Of the
West -and the Editor supports him under stress of
circumstances, and because, as Wing, he thinks he
cannot do any better. In addition. to this-not to
mention other opposition to the Governor in his own
party-the Hornets Nest, another Whg paper, goes
for him in an amusing, quizzical manner. which is
calculated to do "H His Excelency y" more harm than
good. 1-1
Now, what does all this signify and foreshadow
1t means that Gov. Manly, by his administration Of
State affairs has given deep dissatisfaction many
of his friends and it foreshadows his defeat.
EQUAL SUFFRAGE. Among the resolutions adopted
by the Democratic State Convention is one {the 6th)
in favor of the abolition Of the land qualification for
the electors of Senator's that is in favor of allowing
every man who is qualified to vote for members of
the lower branch of the State Legislature also to vote
for Senators; thus doing away with an artificial dis
tincton between men who are, in fact, equal. Its
effect will simply be the restoration of all free white
citizens to that natural equality to which they
titled under republican form of government, ire
spective of their riches their poverty, the acci
dent of possessing not possessing certain portion
OF land. 1t has nothing whatever TO do with the
present basis of representation, founded upon popua
tion and taxation 1t is not intended to disturb the
acknowledged and constitutional groundwork Of fed

to the Union ITSELF 1t merely goes to repeal pro-
vision which virtually disfranchises the whole mer

he is to be governed, and the imposition of taxes
which he is forced to pay.
Gov. MANLY has published his appointments-aN
in the Wesf, and among that portion of the Wings of
the State who have declared themselves in favor of
the abolition of the Federal basis Does he intend
to tamper with interests, by fostering this dam
gerous excitement, in order to serve his patry
ends! We regret that our candidate, Col. RElD,
cannot visit here in the East. but we consider it
his bounden duty to follow Mr.. MANLY to the West,
to detect him in his crooks and turnings, the first of
which was his lame attempt to crawl on to the Dem
