North Carolina Legislature

The North Carolina Legislature having re.
fused to put tax upon whiskey distillcrics
and taxed the income Of ministers of the
gospel and of editors, is being roughly, but
justly handled by some Of the papers OF
that State. The Spirit of The AGE SAYS: 81,
is shame to the members of the I.egisla.
tnre, and disgrace to the State, that whis-
key dis,illing is the only thing left untaxed.
But 80 it is:--it is the pet institution in
North Carolina-evcn at the expense Of
taxing the Ministers Of Christ"
The North Carolina Whig says: awe
learn from an article in another column.
from the Newbcrn Progress, that Editors
are to be taxed individually and on their
presses, and that the salary OT Ministers Of
the gospel are 10 be taxed also, while HONOR
distIllers, the curse Of the country, Is to be
exempted We have long known that Oui
Legislatures were often composed of large
portion at men who were ready and willing
to use the influence that liqnor gave them
NJ the polls to keep them in their seats, but
we were not prepared TO believe that there
were Ma j0rity, in either body, that would
tax Editors or Ministers of the Gospel and
let DistiIcrs go untaxed. But such state
OF things is forced upon US by the late pro-
ceedugs OF our Legislature. We hope the
yeas and nays will be published tha; the
name of every man who could give such II
vote, may be known throughout the length
and breadth Of this broad land. The reader
may fern some idea Of the calibre Of the
men who compose our Legislature, when
we state. that we had it from reliable au-
thority, that certain western member
wrote home 10 some Of his friends, TO send
him 20 gallons Of "mountain dew" as all
the whiskoy about Raleigh hnd been drank
up. And We heard of another member who
took cargo Of brandy with him {; and We
lean that orders have been sent here for
the creature" by members of the Iegisla-
tnre. There are, however, many honorable
exceptions to this.

vided the race was run at Memphis. We
have since learned, and think il but due
to our Virginia friends to state, this morn

accept Col. Cheatham's proposal for a
mach, provided lie consents to run il in
Virginia. The only difficulty to close a

liberal in their sentiments to place them

The bold and startling expression refer
red TO by the Bulletin in the above remarks.
is as follows 80
"Wo intend 10 divide The South, rather
than let the South be united in submission.
We intend further to do the very thing you

Mistakes Of Printers.

ten.ion to these matters will not prevent
errors from creeping in, even when pro
fessional proof readers are engaged ex.
pressly fol the purpose. And when i, is
borne in mind that in most papers such
an expense is necessarily dispensed with
and the proofs, on that account, are often
hurriedly examined, the fact will no Ion.
