Rear I'm Mind

That John Pool the Know Nothing candidate for
Governor, is pledged by his platform to tax every
pecies of property or all property in North Carroll
ma that he could not exempt anything, If he would,
for the platform of his party provides only for dis
ordinations, and not exemptions; and that to dis
crinainate 70 to tar ff atE
Bear in mind that Mr., Pool now proposes to call
Convention to make one amendment to the Consti-
tutou and that at the last session of the Legislature
he voted against Convention to be called for that
very purpose
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool now PROCESSES to be
an ad raorem man, but that at the last session Of
the Legislature he voted against dd raorem in every
shape in which it was presented
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool voted in the Lcgisla-
ture of 1856 against amending the charter of the
Western North Carolina Railroad so as to grant the
Road one and quarter million of dollars to COM
pletelthe work to and through the Swanannoa gap;
that after the bill had passed the Senate he voted
with Gen. Dockcry tore-consider it and then aided
in defeating the bill And yet Mr.. Pool processes
to be friend to Western interests.
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool uniformly voted in
1856 and 1858 against all bills to aid the Fayette
vile Coal6elds Road.
Bear in mind that j. Parker Jordan, ESQ.,, while
Commoner from Perquimans, voted for bills to aid
the Western Extension; that Mr.. Pool afterwards
opposed him for the Senate in Pasquotank and Per-
quimans, and defeated HIM mainly on the ground
that he, Mr. Jordan, had given these liberal votes.
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool voted in 1856 against
the bill to extend the Wilmington and Rutherford
Railroad to Polk County or the same terms on
which the Road had been constructed to other points
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool voted in 1856 against
the bill to aid the Atlantic and North Carolina Road
Bear in mind that Mr.. Pool declares in the face of
all these facts that he has given Railroad votes
than Gov. Ellis ever gave IT Mr.. Pool has ever
voted for internal improvements at ALL he has voted
only for empty charters. .nn
Bear in mind that during Mr.. Pools term of SER
vice in 1858 he lodged l45 out of 81 calls of the
yeas and naysl He looking to a canvass for
Governor and feared that il he met the various ques-
tons on which these yeas and nays were called it
would Iniure his prospects as candidate. Is such
man worthy of public confidence? Can he be DE-
| pended on9 We think not
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool endorses the action Of
| William L. Yancey and others, who seeded from
the Charleston Convention, by speaking of them as
"the only leaven in the Democratic party" He
thus throws the weight of his influence as the OPP.

who would break up the government and "precpi-
tate the cotton States into revolution"

The Revenue Law.

The present revenue law of this State is by no
means perfect law. We never knew q revenue
law that was The tax on salaries and wages ought
to be stricken out; and we have no doubt that in
other respects the law should lie modified and al
tered. a-z saza q IL
But the question for the Democratic party was
shall we pass this law as it is or shall refuse
dishonesty refuse-to pay the State debit That
was the question, and like the Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature met it They passed the
law, aided by only two Opposition votes in the Com
mons-0utlaw, of BERTHE, and Meares, Of Bruins
wick
What would have been the effect on the credit
ard character of the State if no revenue law had
been passed? Our State bonds, now bringing 90
cents in the dollar in New York, while Tennessee
and Missouri bonds are bringing but from "a to 80
cents, would have fallen to go or 20 cents; indeed
they might have fallen lower than that, while all
our State works. and all our public charitable insti-
buttons would have been arrested in their course.
More than this-the State would have failed to pay
the interest on her bonds, and would have been
thereby dsgraced in the present and disgraced in
history through all coming time.
When the Opposition leaders, who refused to vote
for the revenue law to pay the State debt attempt
to make capital out Of that law tell them and tell
the people of these facts Ifthe people are opposed
to paying the State debt honestly contracted and il
they willing to the State disgraced by refus
ing to make provision to pay her honest debts, let
them vote for John Pool and these Opposition lead

The Niagara brings us the confirmation of the
capture of Palermo on the 9th, by the revolution
airy forces. The conflict with the royal troops was,
it appears desperate one and lasted for more than
six hours. The troops had retired to the palace,
Custom House and castle, but the former was taken
by the people in the evening, and burnt down. On
the 2Sth Garibaldi commenced an attack on the
castle aud in the meantime fierce bombardment
was kept up on the city, by sea and land, by the
government troops, and was being continued at the

Mr.. BADGERS SPEECH.

Last evening" in accordance with previous an
nouncement, Hon. George E. Badger, one of the
Electors for the State at large on the Bell and Ev
erett ticket addressed the citizens eff Wilmington
in ITALIAN Hail. The audience large and atten-
tive, and Mr.. Badger claimed their attention for
fully three hours. We had never heard Mr.. Badger
before, but had heard the most extravagant lauda-
tons of his powers Of oratory and argument Per-
haps we had thus been led to expect too much but
however that was, we presume that there can be
but one opinion with reference to the effort of last
night The feeling decidedly was one of disap-
pointment We do not say that the speech of Mr..
Badger was failure. Mr.. Badger is a man of char
acter and ability, and possibly it might be regarded
as presumption on our part to say that he did not
make great speech, and Of course We do not say
so, but we do say this much-that if a common
man had made tina. speech it would have been
about the dullest and most uninteresting speech
that has been made here for years. We do not be-
lieye that Mr. Badger made a vote by his effort or
that any of his party thought he did. His attack
upon Gov. Ellis was-we leave that for people to
decide for themselves. There was all the time, a
pervading consciousness the part of Mr.. Badger,
that he, Mr. Badger, was personally present He
never seemed to forget himsef-he was always con-
scious of George E. Badger.
Upon national politics, Mr.. Badger referred to
Bell and Everett He did not refer to little issue
of veracity said to be pending between Messrs.
Badger and Bell. We hope they have fixed it all
right Have not heard of it though.
The lineup and niger business formed the staple
of his remarks on State politics. These points were
better presented by our young friend Waddell last
week, in the Town Hall. That We take it is the
general impression with both parties. Upon the
whole as the United States Senatorship is the prize
for which Mr.. Badger is contending, we rather feel
inclined to give it to Mr.. Waddell. Mr.. Waddell
has made the best anti Democratic speech of the
two We go for Waddell for Senator, if he is old
enough, and if an Oppositionist must be elected;
but upon the whole, we think, possibly, that an
Oppositionist will not be elected. That is notion
we have.
Our supply of capital "Ps" is pretty full, but we
happy be relieved of the necessity of report
ing Mr. Badger uerbatim, for we would have run
out, sure Wilmington Journal ~

Our State Elections.

It may be unnecessary to remind the Democracy
throughout the State Of the great importance of the
coming elections for Governor and members of the
Legislature. A thorough organization and deter
mined zeal the part of the Democratic candidates
in every section of the State will secure the party
brilliant triumph. The next session of the Legis-
lature will be of the most important ever held
in North-C Carolina Not only will that body have a
United States Senator, and a number of important
State officers to elect but the proposition to call
Convention to amend the Constitution, will be be-
fore it for considerations question: all will readily
admit of the highest importance. Let it be re-
membered that the Oppositionists pretend they de-
sire but single amendment made to the Constitu-
tion yet they would subject the people to the heavy
expense of Convention to effect what can be as
actment The people of the State have repeatedly
condemned at the polls the policy of calling Con-
vention to make single amendment to their Con-
stitution. Will they reverse their own decision to
crafty the wishes of men whose conduct shows,
that they not sincere in their professions of love
for the people? So very honest and sincere were
they, that whilst pretending to favor an important
amendment to the Constitution. they selected as lis
champion man who voted, repeatedly, during the
last session of the Legislature against i and who,
up to the very moment of his nomination, was re
garded as hostile to, the measure We again ask,
what confidence can be placed in such men9 Let
these facts be kept before the people that they may
see and know what they are to expect from such
shallow professions of devotion to their interests
No man has ever performed bis official duties with
more zeal and ability than Governor Ellis No man
has exhibited more devotion to the interests of all
sections Of the State What has he done to forfeit
the confidence reposed in him by the people at the
last election2 Nothing. On the contrary. his ad-
minstration Of our State Government has been such
as to strengthen that confidence and to elicit the
approval of his more liberal minded opponents He
is now engaged in arduous contest and relies on
the justice and zeal of his friends to sustain him.
That this will be done, we entertain not doubt
and that by an overwhelming majority, If the Dem
ocrats in every part of the State viii do their duty
manfully. Let no one heed the empty boastings Of
the enemy, but go, Straightforward to the perform
ance Of his duty with untring zeal to the close Of
the election, and another glorious triumph will
crown the efforts of the Democracy Of North Caro-
lima. To your duty, then, Fsllosc- Democrats

State Debt.

We have obtained from an authentic source, the
following statement of the Indebtedness of the State
and lay before our readers as reliable document
of peculiar interest at. this particular time. The
amount of our State debt has been too much exag
gerated by many fndneiers of the Opposition, who
would not take the trouble of applying to the pro-
per source for correct information. The tendency
of such incorrect statements together with the ar
guments founded upon them for particular ends,
will be, to depress in the markets abroad our State
stocks. No State in the Union has more crafty
ing record in the stock market of New York City
than North Carolina and if our at all
understood by capitalists we have no doubt that
our credit will still continue to stand as fair as it
has hitherto done.
We have thought proper to say thus much, in or
der to set readers their guard against false
figures and unfounded statements pretending to ex
hibit the debt Of the State The following may be
relied on:
