thorizlng their election, the money appropriated
for public buildings. This act of the Territorial
Legislature will be found throughout to CORES
pond to the enactments of the act of Congress of
June 18th. 1850; and so far from relating in the
remotest degree to the location of the seat of
government of the Territory, is, as its title i'm
ports, simply the way provided by the Governor
and Legislative Assembly, for expanding, under
the authority of said act of June 18th. 1850. the
money appropriated for the erection of public
buildings. The position therefore that the act
OF the Territorial Legislature of Feb. 7th, 1851.
provided for submitting the location of the seat
OF government to the people as provided in section
thirteen of the Organic Act, cannot in my opinion
be maintained. @ 37ea sac ~ So
If however it be true that the question Of To-
cation was submitted to the people by the act of
June IL, 1850, then Of course the seat of govern
ment is permanently located at St. Paul, and the
special authority, delegated to the people having
been exercised, is exhausted. Certainly the Gov
refused to vest the power Of locating the perma-
nent seat OF government, have no authority to act
IN the premises. 1t would be but an idle farce
to permit the people to locate if the Legislature
could Immediately, or ever thereafter change the
location at pleasure. The evident intention Of
Congress was to permit the question to be voted
upon, but to deny all legislation on the subject,
except 80 far as might be necessary to prepare the
way for the people, to declare by vote their prefer
ence. 81 sstt 80 st'ss
In my opinion, if the seat of government be
now permanently located, then no power but Con-
gress can interpose to change the location :; but
that II the location is but temporary, it cannot
DO changed except to make it permanent, In the
manner provided in the Organic Act. lsgaa

The Elections Tomorrow.
llS5-6Odw.

The people of this State will vote tomorrow for
members of Congress, for County and Superior
Court Clerks, and the question of Free Suffrage
In the First and Sixth Districts the contest is
very animated and the result in each looked for with
deep interest We sincerely trust that DR.. Shaw
and Mr.. Scales will succeed. The chances are Ger.
tanly in their favor. If they should be elected the
Democrats will have seven out of the eight members
We do not entirely despair of Mr.. Williams election
in the Fifth District, though the majority against
him is considerable. If he should be elected, and
should carry besides the LIST and 9th, the whole
delegation will be Democratic.
1t is too late to appeal to our friends in the
LIST, 9Th, and 9th Districts; would it be
sary, if appeal could reach them all before the
day of election. They are already thoroughly
aroused and feel confident they will do all they
can for their candidates and for Democracy.
We take it for granted that the Free Suffrage
amendment to the Constitution will be approved by
large majority. 1t will be high privilege to vote
for this great measure, and have fears that it
will be neglected or forgotten.
We shall be under obligations to our friends in all
parts of the State for the earliest election news.

TAxEs.-People in North Carolina, says the Fay
ettevle Obseruer who disposed to grumble at the
amount of the taxes levied for the support of gov.
eminent, may have consolation in knowing that they
great deal better off than their brethren in some
other States The Comptroller of the city of New
York publishes statement from which we learn that
the tax on that city, for city purposes the present
year, amounts to $S0oO,OOo. The population of the
city of New York is not two-thirds of the popula-
ton Of North Carolina, and we suspect that there
are quite as many poor people there as here. Yet
New York pays for the support of its wretchedy n-
efficient government 500 for every dollar paid by
North Carolinans for their government. How much
the city pays for the support of the State Govern
ment we do not know. But it is fair to presume that
its State tax is largely in excess of all the taxes paid
by North Carolnans.
