Rouge, where he has resided since eighteen
months, offers his respectful thanks to those
persons who have already honored himwith
their confidence, and tenders anew his pro-
fessional services to all those wishing to be
fought on the Piano, Violin, Guitar or in
Vocal Music

the study of music specially pedantiy is
disgusting, and that general routine of in

formers, he will use all his endeavours to
place himself on level with the inteli-
sence OF his pupils, ils,-encouraging rather
than dsheartening their efforts, while ad-
herring strictly to the precepts laid down by
the best masters; he will continue as here
tofore to tune Pianos. His prices will be-
$40 for twelve lessons of one hour each, and
S6 for twelve lessonepf half hour each.

FREE SUFFRAGE.

The great measure of Free Suffrage, we graft
ed to state, was introduced into the Senate on We'd
nesay, the third day of the session, the earliest
moment at which it could have been done after the
organization of the two Houses The bill was pre-
sened by that sterling Democrat Mr.. Boyd of Rock
ingham, and is as follows:
To Amend the Constitution Of the State Of North
Carolina.
WHEREAS, A large number of the people dis
fanchised by the freehold qualification now requir
ed for members of the Senate: Therefore,
Sec ]. BE 1t cnacted dy the General assembly Of
the State Of North Carolina, and is hereby enacted
by the authority Of the same, (threc-ffths of the
whole number of members of each House concur
rng That the second clause of the third section of
the first article Of the Amended Constitution latf-
ed by the people of North Carolina, the second
Monday of November in the year of our Lord,
eighteen hundred and thirty-hvc shall be amended
to read as follows Every free white man of the age
OF twenty-one years, who has been inhabitant Of
the State for twelve months, Immediately preceding
the day of any election, and shall have paid public
tax, shall be entitled to vote for member Of the
Senate, for the district in which he resides.
SEC. 2. lie atturther enacted, That the Governor
of the State be, and he is hereby directed to issue
his proclamation to the people Of North Carolina, at
least six months before the next election for mem
bers of the General Assembly, setting forth the pur-
port Of this act and the amendment to the Consti-
tuition herein proposed; which proclamation shall
be accompanied by true and perfect copy of the
act authenticated by the certificate of the Secretary
of State and both the proclamation and the copy
of this act the Governor of the State shall cause to
be published in all the newspapers of the State, and
posted in the Court Houses of the respective coun-
ties in this State at least six months before the elec-
ton of members to the next General Assembly.
The measure doubt not, will soon be passed
by the Senate and sent to the Commons; and it
seems peculiarly proper that such measure should
originate in the Senate, representing as it does the
freehold vote It is an offer of equal rights by that
body to the Commons voters, which will be appre-
ciated as well for its magnanimty as its justice. 1t
is presented, too, by the Senator from Rockingham,
the native County of Gov. Reid, the originator and
champion of the measure

TINTED STATES SENATORS.

It is understood that Wednesday night last,
nominations were made in Democratic caucus
follows: Hon. DAVID S. REIp of Rockingham, at
present Governor of the State, to fill the term now
running, of four years and half; and the Hon. ASA
BIGGs of the County of Martini for the term of six
years to succeed Mr.. Badger.
We refer to our Legislative proceedings OF Thurs
day for the action of the t~o Houses with reference
to the times for going into the elections for these
posts.
The nominees arc well known to the people of the
State They are reliable, patriotic men, devoted to
the interests and honor of North Carolina, and ca
babc Of representing those interests most accepta-
bly in the Senate of the Unsn. AS Democrats they
arc tried and true, and as Southern men emnently
firm and safe on the question of Slavery. Both of
them arc self made, and their sympathes are with
the masses of the people.
We doubt not that the Democratic members of
the Legislature will present an undivided front in
the elections of to-day (Friday) and to- morrow.
The Wings of the two Houses labored hard for
more time for consideration and the Democrats, it
will be observed gave them more time than was at
first contemplated but why postpone the elections? !?
Is not better dispose of them at once-to remove
all causes calculated to excite the minds of members
so that the public business be calmly taken up
and disposed Of? The Wings, it is understood, held
caucus last night the subject of Senators; what
their course will be has not transpired. Are they
unit ID among themselves? Can they all endorse
the Nebraska act by voting for Mr.. Badger? We
shall sec

~ The Goldsborough Telegraph and other
Wing papers in this State quite bitter in their
abuse of Judge Douglas the abolition press of the
free States This can be accounted for only upon
the ground that these Southern Whg presses prefer
party triumphs and the qualification of party feel
ing to the rights of their section involved in the
question of slavery.
But Judge Douglas has nothing to fear from these
Editors. He will not only survive all their attacks,
but continue to gain the confidence and affections
of the Southern people generally. -.

We congratulate the people of the State, and cs.

which the two Houses of the General Assembly
have been organized, and upon the high character
If the gentlemen who have been chosen to preside
over them
Mr.. Winslow, the Speaker of the Senate, adds to
decision of character and knowledge of parliament
tsrv law, suavity of manner which cannot fail to
render him excellent presiding officer; and Mr..
HILL the Speaker of the Commons, though compara-
tivcv young man, is admirably fitted in every res
noct for the post he has been called to FILL The De-
mocracv of Caswell-the County of Yancey and
o,bcr great mcn-have reason to be proud of the
distinction thus conferred upon of their favorite
champions
We are eratifed to observe among the members
determination to go earnestly to work, so as to dis
pose of the public business at as early day as pos
sibe An important step in this respect has already
been made in holding elections for various places
required to be filled by the Assembly. ~
We sincerely trust that spirit of harmony and
concord may pervade the party, and that the expec
tations of the people may not in any material res
pect, be disappointed.
