The Position OF Hon. ALBERT G. BRowN-The
Constitution of this morning says: upon the au-
thorty of intimate personal and pocal friend of
the Hon. A. G. Brown whose peculiar relations
with him justify the utmost confidence in what he
asserts, deny the report that that distinguished
Senator intends opposing the election of Breckin-
ridge and Lane. The last conversation had by Gov.
Brown previous to his departure from this city on
Thursday morning, was with the gentleman alluded
to. He clearly avowed his determination to sup
port ticket though it is true he could not agree
with the letter of acceptance of Mr. Breckenridge,
in SO far as it embraces him in the general express
sion that 1.-THE friends of constitutional equality do
not, and never did, demand slave CODE" In view
Of the fact that Gov. Brown spoke at the Breckin.
ridge and Lane ratification meeting in this city on
Monday night last this statement is scarcely neces-
say except that the letter Of acceptance alluded to
has appeared since"

OPPOSITION AUTHORITY ON AID vA40Rhaf-
WHAT TT MEANS. -


Tie 0rvcnsborough Patriot strong and lead
Ing Opposition ad calorsm paper, in an article on
tffis subject explaining it, says: ~ IS Is.
Above, we have stated what we understand to
BE- the posi- ion If the West on ad ealorsm-thaE IN
that EVERY SPECIES OF PROPERTY IS to be
TAXED according to it's value, not only land and
negroes, but HORSES, COWS, SHEEP and HOGS,
leaving it with the Legislature in framing aresenue
law, to discriminate only in favor Of the native
products of the State and the industrial pursuits of
the citizens. This Is prscisely the oosationc Mr..
Pool the position which he has taken in the East,
and the position which he will maintain in the
West"
So said the editor just after having had CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Pool
Mr.. Gorrell, the Opposition Senator from Gull
ford made speech in the last Legislature in which
he made use of the following language:
"There is also large amount Of FURNITURE,
plate, carriages and buggies, WAGONS, CARTS,
and FARMING TOOLS ano IMPLEMENTS, MER-
CHANDlZE, bank stock, money at interest," &C.,
&c, all going to make up the aggregate wealth of
the State, but which would enter into the taxable
property Of the State under the ad ralorem system
Of taxation"
Mr. Gorrell is warm supporter of Mr.. Pool.
In the proceedings Of the convention which nom
mated Mr. Pool as the same are reported in the Ra
leigh Register, we find the following:
THURSDAY, Feb 90, 1860.
Mr.. Turner, Of Orange, moved to take the vote on
ad ralorem offering an amendment against taxing
such small matters as tin cups, plates, &c.
Mr.. Badger proposed change in his amendment,
which was accepted The Amendment of Mr.. Tur-
ner was then adopted.
Mr.. Henry, of BERTHE, then moved a reconsidera-
ton Of the amendment entering his protest against
it.
Mr. Barringer, of Cabarrus, seconded Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. Rayner hoped Mr.. Turner would withdraw it
The motion to reconsider prevailed.
Not being soathdrawn, the amendment oas reject
ell
The question then recurring on the passage Of
the ad palorem resolution it passed almost unani-
mously.
These extracts, all from high opposition authority
show what is meant by discrimination in favor Of
industrial pursuits 1t means heavy taxes on goods
brought into the State for sale for the benefit Of
capitalists investing in factories 1t does not mean
exemption of stock, farming implements or the like
"srnal matters" and household truck. "-Wit

PsEsnENrIAL CAsDIDArsa During our short
trip to the North we run up with three offhe Presl
Dental candidates. First we found Nj. Douglas
and lady at the 9th Avenue hotel, New York, where
they spent some time quietly and then left on Saf-
urday, for Massachusetts, to visit brother OF MIS-
Douglas who is at school down there Senator
Douglas seems quiet and calm, and TO all appear,
ances cares less for the issue Of the Presld initial
contest than almost any man you meet with.
Returning, at Baltimore weenconntered Mr.. Breck-
inridge who was on the eve Of hisdeparture 70 hrs
home in Kentucky. -
But our most pleasant encounter was with Gen.
Joe Lane, who we met in company with Governor
Winslow at Portsmouth, Tuesday morning After
being introduced to Gen. Lane and other gentlemen
of the party by Mr. Winslow, We were all invited to
take seat in the department of the postal agent,
where we had pleasant and varied conversation UNI
til we reached Weldon Gen. Lane is nearer what
our Imagination has ever conceived Gen. jackson to
have been than any man that we ever have or ever
expect to see He is q tall, muscular, bony man OF
sixty, possessed of all the vigor of thirty, with
high full forehead and well developed organization;
very plain and very agreeable He is certainly
very firm, determined and at the same time con-
scientious man. Though States-right man he is
no fanatic and had he been the unanimous choice Of
his party for the Presidency we would have voted
for him most cheerully feeling that the destinies Of
every part of our common country would be safe IN
his hands. We conversed together freely for two
hours, and while he assured us that he preferred as
far as his individual wishes were concerned, retire.
ment to any Office the country could give him, he
was willing at the same time to do ANYTHING or as
sst in the doing Of anything that would break up
fanaticism and sectopalsm and defeat Lincoln.
He gave us most fascinating picture Of Oregon,
its valleys, mountains fertile soil, game climate
&C., &C. He says it is the most productive as well
as the most beautiful country in the world, with
climate unequaled as far as his observation has ex-
tended, and he has travcrsed almost whole coun-
try, States and Territories.
At Weldon we separated, Gen. Lane being on his
way to visit some friends and relatives in Warren
county, and from there he will 60 to Chapel Hill
and spend few days with Governor Swain. Be.
ing native of the State, which he left when small
boy, he assures US that he would be gratiied to
have it in his power to extend his visit to prominent
points, and see the progress which she was making
but that his stay would necessarily be limited as he
had to be in Maryland towards the last ofthe month
We trust that his visit to the State may be made
pleasant and agreeable and We doubt not but it
wili-Neu6ern Progress.

SUMNER TRAvEI.-The Baltimore Patriot says
the "annual exodus of the Summer Solstice has al
ready begun. Every train that comes in, and each
train that departs, brings-on their way North, or
to the Mountain Springs Of Virgna-or takes away,
to the seashore Saratoga up to the shady heights
of the Alleghanies crowds Of citizens who have the
leisure and the means to get away from the long
rows of brick and mortar"
We believe that the amount of travel from the
South, says the Journal of Commerce. this season
has never been surpassed. New York hotels, for
some time past have been thronged from the cotton
States It would be a capital thing for the North
and the country, if more Of our citizens were an
nualy compelled by tress of weather or some other
cause, to reciprocate this visitation.

Ex-PREsDENr PIERCE FOR BRECKENRIDGE AND

SECTIONAL but it has been streEously denied that
he would support Breckenridge and Lane A letter
addressed by the Ex-President to Mr.. Hallett is
published is the Boston Post, and we make the fol-
lowing extract from it. Mr.. Pierce writes
at was vain to hope for harmony after the action
of the majority upon the report Of the Committee
on Credentials It could hardly have failed to be
understood generally that such action must termi-
nate the existence of the Convention as body rep
resenting the Democracy Of the Union, and even
tuate in the present condition Of the powerful and
patriotic organization which has so long upheld the
equal rights and INDICATED in peace and in war the
common honor of these confederated States There
has been, in fact no nomination made in conformity
with the established and recognized usages Of that
organization and hence sound and faithful men will
find nothing in the proceedings, SO far as the nom
nees are concerned to bind their party fealty. Un-
der those circumstances it would crafty me exceed
ngly if our friends all sections of the land could
unite earnestly and cordially in the-support Of Mr..
breckenridge and General Lane and thus insure for
our cause signal victory"

AN OUTRAGEOUS FALsEuooD ExposED-The fol-

His REcoRD.-The Selma (Ala) Herald says:
odd Joe Lane, the candidate of the fre.eating dis
unionists, while a member of the Indiana Legisla-
ture voted four distinct and separate times for Con.
gress to pass the Wmot proviso; yet we hear the
par excellence Southern rights dsunionsts declare
him perfect pink Of Southern chivalry.'"
W. are authorized by Gen. Lane to say that this
statement is utterly false The question was never
discussed in the Legislature Of Indiana while Gen.
Lane was a member. It might have been before
the Legislature while he was fighting the battles of
his country in Mexico; but not while he was in
that body. Gen. Lane left for Mexico in May 1846
and the question Of the Wilmot provso was not in
:roduced into Congress till the 18th of August,
1885, and as is well known, Gen. Lane never en-
tered the Legislature of Indiana after he returned
from the Mexican war-Constitution.

The Wilmington Journal, surveying the field and
speaking of the prospects of the Democratic party,
after giving assurance Of a complete Democratic
triumph in New Hanover, says:
1T appears to be conceded that Davis, Democrat,
will be chosen to represent Bladen county in the
House Of Commons, Williamson, Democrat, will be
chosen from Columbus, and unless all the Democrats
with whom we have conversed, be greatly mistaken,
Taylor will be elected to the Senate from the District
composed Of Bladen, Brunswick and Columbus.
He will if the Democrats only stick up as they
ought to, and. we think, will
Ellis will obtain his full vote, and perhaps more,
in the counties Of the Senatorial District referred to-
He will do SO in Onslow, in Duplin in Sampson. in
Wayne, and in Johnston. In fact, we anticipate
rather gain on the aggregate in this section of the
State. All the unfavorable reports about Johnston
are erroneous. We will probably make a gain for
the Legislature from that county. We think COL
Watson will certainly be sent to the Senate. The
voters of Johnston will send him if they really wish
to secure the services of good and pure man.
v e surprised to learn that there are even vet
county. Why is this? Pitt ought to be carried by
the Democrats this time. 1t ought to send Demo
cratic delegation to the General Assembly"
We had short interview with DR.. Blow, a few
days ago. and, if We are not mistaken, learned from
him that there was full Democratic ticket in the
field. in Pitt with bright prospects of victory.
We saw gentleman yesterday from west Of Ra-
leigh, who assures US that Ellis will receive the
whole Democratic strength in those counties where
our informant is acquainted, and we can assure our
readers that he has right to know.
We also saw several gentlemen from counties east
Of Goldsboro', on yesterday morning. who say that
Ellis will poll the full Democratic strength every
where, and gain in some counties Craven and
Carteret will assurcdy hold their own. Wayne will
stand as firm as the rocks of Gibraltar. We learn
that prominent Wing Of Craven is warmly advo-
eating the election Of Elis-severa prominent Wings
of Wayne county are doing the same. Let the
work go on. Let no Democrat sleep at his post
