An intelligent friend in North Carolina
writes us in clearer exposition of the late
result in that State, as follows:
Correspondence of The n. Y Tribune.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Friday, Aug 20, ls52.
The recent election in this State should not be
regarded as indicative Of the vote in November,
because
LIST. The canvass did not at all turn on National
Politics. You are aware that there exists in the
Constitution of North Carolina provision which
restricts the Right of Suffrage in the election Of
Senator's to freeholders who own fifty acres of
land. The abolition of this prosison was made
the issue OF the canvass by Mr.. Reid in 1870. and
on the strength of it NJ. Il. was elected by near
|, 5000 majority, and with him majority of the
Legislature, in both branches. A bill was pre-
sented to the Legislature embodying the proposed
change in the Constitution at that session, and
adopted by the requisite majority. 10 perlecttnc
change however it WAS necessary that II should
be acted on By a subsequent Legislature, ana that
voters should he apprised OF the fact by procama-
ton OF the Governor. lb,s was accordingly uoh9
Inv Governor Reid, and the question presented
WINS whether the half complete change IN the
Constitution which in its initiation had strength
enough to defeat Wing candidate, should be
abandoned under the strength oil party predi-
Iec,ions Rut this was not the entire Difficult
~. Ar the same time that Free Sufuge was
presented and occupied public attention and
public favor q proposition was made to hold
Convention Of the People OF the State, by which
the whole basis Of representation should be
changed. and the foundation Of our Senate,
which is arranged wholly in reference TO taxa
tion. should I've adjusted altogether in regard TO
numbers of voters. This pToposlt lost 9lf.
Kerr many votes in the east, which has large
preponderauce in the Senate, from the excess oil
taxa ton paid by tina. section. Free Suffrage, on
the other hand lost him thousands 81 votes IN the
west. because there the greater number OF vo,ers
are excluded from participation IN the election oil
Senators The Sta,e has not sacrificed her cher-
i.hed Wing principles, and will remember IN NO,
yembsr with telling effect, the idusuious nero anu
her osn distinguished son.

that the Wings in that state are IN the highest
shirts. AMI express an undoubtins confidence that

By al least Ia, lors majority. In Gentry ana
Vil,iams's Districts there is more enthusiasm ina
IN any other parts Of the state. The people re-
esrd themselves as betrayed by their politicians
and I'VE taken the matter into their own hanus.

the course which some of her public men nave
thought proper TO pursue may INSPIRE siioHs
those who do not understand the pecuIaf ohAi ~
ter of her population.

Building Associations.

A correspondents at klmira writes 70 say
that a Building and Mutual Loan ASSOCIATION has
been started there, which he thinks will be avery
GOOD thing. He desires that we should state
whether we think the organization Will prove
beneficial to the homeless mechanic, who wants
house. the apprentice, and the ambitious clerk,
xbo desire TO proyds funds with which to 60 into
business hereafter and to tn capitalist.
We have no doubt that Building Associations
rightly organized and properly managed, may be
beneficial TO their members, but they will not
work miracles. They cannot cause ten dollars to
grow into hundred in single year. They can
not pay an enormous interest to investors and
confer enormous benefits ON borrowers at the
same time. They do not make something out of
nothing. In city like New Y ork, where the
rent Of email tenements is excessive, poor man
may afford TO pay a high rate Of interest to a
Building Association, but in country town he
cannot. Now, without such rate of interest,
an Association can offer no advantage to the
capitalist beyond thousand other modes of in
vestment, and it does not, therefore, appear that
people Of wealth are likely to be attracted to the
new organization.
But to persons of small earnings who wish { )
save something from their income, good Building
Association is to be recommended, as better and
more useful than a Savings Bank. But the good
ness of such an institution must depend on it's
being organized on correct principles, and wisely
and honestly managed. Generally, we are con
yinced that the Building Associations in this
country, promising as they do to wind up their
affairs in comparatively short period, are defec-
tive, and will prove deceptive to their members.
Except the mass of the latter are awfully shaved
in the rate they pay for loans, the Associations
will be unable to terminate their existence at the
expected time. Prudence and discretion are,
therefore, to be exercised in joining them.

guage and the views imputed to Hon. RUFUS
Choate, by Rev. Hubbard Winslow, at the
meeting of disorganzers of the Wing party in
this city, on Tuesday evening, we know to be an
entire misrepresentation Of that gentleman's real
sentiments. Mr. Choate stands now precisely
where he stood at the time of the great Wing
ratification meeting in Fancuil Hall, when he de-
clared that while he intensely desired that
another name should have been presented to the
American people, as candidate for the Pres-
dency, yet he is in favor of sustaining the nomi-
nation which has been made by the Wing Con-
venton.' We are assured that he now wholly
disapproves of this or any other attempt to get
up any electoral ticket excepting only that to
cary out the Wing national nominations. We
have no doubt he will lose no time in causing the
gross Misrepresentation of Mr.. Winslow to be as
publicly contIadicted as it has been circulated

tusk and hence the fact of general
chaos of which Mormonism, or something
like il. is one of the inevitable results.
The article in The Times, on which we
are commenting, belongs to the same cate
cory, and indicates "chaos" in the brains
of the writer.

character as the daily reading of The Tribune,
though we could wish they had profted by it
more than the proposition would indicate which
concludes the above paragraph, and which our
supernal correspondent goes on to develop through
two tedious pages. And if the universal crowd Of
ultra mundane rappers and gymnasts have any re-

much common sense into their disclosures to this

is generally nothing but wretched twaddle.

Of the enemy, and long lists of boilers make up

Free Soil Convention, no Wing entertained a

That nomination has perhaps diminished our
chances of ninety nine in hundred to something
less. notwithstanding this, our prospects in Ohio
are better than In "A, and in this State infinitely
better than in 4S. We are well supplied with tho
