BECOMING DESPERATE 1t seems that the op-
position party in North Carolina are becoming
desperate. They make charge after charge against
Gov. Ellis without much regard to truth, and when
the incorrectness of their assertions are pointed
out they do not deign to even attempt correc-
ton. For instance, it has not been long since
every opposition paper in the State sounded the
doleful cry that Gov. Ellis said he did not want
working men to vote for him. This has been
proven false by the testimony of highly respect
able member of the opposition party in Raleigh !;
yet the charge is repeated. No one can believe
that Gov Ellis ever said any such thing, unless
they at the same time believe that he is an idiot
Gov. Ellis said that he did not desire the aid of
political association at Raleigh, mis-named the
:" Wake County Workingmen's Association" be-
cause that Association had been gotten up by a
few Raleigh politicians for the purpose of dicta-
ting to the people of the State what they should
advocate; and but few-probably not dozen-of
the workingmen had anything to do with it.

LET 1T BE REMEMBERED

That Mr. Pool, the opposition candidate for Gov
ernor, voted in the Senate of the last General As
semby against ad valorem taxation. He then
considered it so unjust that nothing could induce
him to vote for it. But as soon he was nomi-
mated for Governor he turns around and favors a
scheme which he thought (while acting under
OATH to be impolitic, unjust and wrong. Now we
appeal to the good judd ment Of the people to say
if Mr. Pool ought not to have voted for ad vaorem
when in the Legislature, if he really thinks it
right and proper If he is in favor of equalizing
the burthens of taxation why did he not show it
when he was in the Legislature and had chance
to effect something He then had an opportunity
10 vote for ad valorcm but what did he do? Why
HE VOTED AGAINST 1T. The records of
the Senate show that what say is correct;
and those who doubt it may examine for them
selves.
The fact is, Mr. Pool knows that ad valorem is
wrong but in obedience to the dctatiOn of few
old politicians who assembled in Raleigh last Feb
ruary he is now favoring it with the hope of being
elected Governor on the strength of it. Let the
public remember Mr. POOLS inconsistency, and not
be deceived by his present professions of devotion
to the peoples interests. If al valoIem is calcu-
lated to benefit the great mass of the people, why
did he not vote for it when he had opportunity?
Let it be remembered, also, that Mr. Pool, when
in the Legislature, voted against calling a Con-
ventiOn to amend the Constitution. He did not
then think it right to run the State to heavy
expense by calling Convention when the Consti-
tuition was good enough it was. John Pool
then (only two years ago. opposed to amend
ing the Constitution; but now he is taking the
other tact, and argues for Convention. Mr.
Pools anxious desire to be Governor has made him
take positions, we fear, which his good judy
ment tells him is wrong, and calculated to do
much harm.

ANOTHER CHANGE OF TUNE.-When the can
vass first opened between Gov. Ellis and Mr. Pool,
the attempt was made to make the people Of the
West believe that Gov. Ellis not true friend
to Western interests and improvements. All re-
member how opposition papers harped upon the
string that Pool was better friend to Railroads
than Gov. Ellis. But since the publication of Mr.
Jordan's letter, showing that Mr. Pool was no
friend to western improvements, we have heard
very little of the absurd charges against the Gov
ernor.
Our friend of the Asheville Advocate is quite
bitter against Gov. Ellis, although he admits that
Gov. +. is friend to the Western Extension,
but says it is because he is interested in contracts
on the Road. Now, certainly the Advocate is
doing Gov. Ellis great injustice. He is not in-
terested il any contract on any Railroad The
charge is entirely incorrect, and We hope our
friend OF the Advocate will correct his statement
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1860-06-19
DON'T BE ALARMED.

We see that our friend of the Statesville Elk
press is terribly exercised and expresses much H.
dignation because it is rumored that Mr. Craige,
the member Of Congress from this District is
going to make some speeches in Catawba county
after the adjournment of Congress. The Express
is Mortified at the idea that Mr. Craige should IN
dertake to dictate to the people of Catawba. We
have never heard the rumor before, and cannot
say whether it is correct not; but we guess it
would be no crime for Mr. Craige to address his
constituents at any time he may please, especially
after his Congressional labors are over. No doubt
our friends in Catawba would be glad to hear Mr.
Crage, and would not consider it dictation either.
But why should the opposition object to Mr.
Craige making a speech, when the Hon. w. N. IL.
Smith, Opposition member of Congress from the
LIST District,) took the stump for Mr. Pool at
time when his duties required him to be in Wash
ington city, That Mr. Smith did so, we learn
from the following paragraph copied from the
Fayetteville Observer of April 9Th:
"WHIG SPEAKERs-We are glad to see by
our exchanges that such men George Davis, of
Wilmington, David A. Barnes OF Northampton
and the Hon. W. ". II. Smith of Hertford, be-
sides other less known gentlemen in the East
have taken the stump in favor of Pool and equal
taxation"
If our opposition friends have any Indignation
to pour out, let them put it upon the head of Mr.
Smith, who took the stump against the democratic
party when he ought to have"been in his seat in
Congress. Every fair-minded man will see at once
that the abuse of Mr. Craige is very unjust. Will
the Exn ress condemn its own friend Mr. w, n III
Smith, and also Mr. Vance for leaving his seat in
Congress and coming to Raleigh last February to
make speech before the opposition Convention ?
We shall see 1t is no crime in the estimation of
the opposition for Smith and Vance to be running
about making Pool speeches, but the mere rumor
that democratic member of Congress intends to
address his constituents is awful, awful!

ba- We wonder if every whg who takes an in
terest in the kind of platform to be adopted by the
democrats at Baltimore, intends to support Bell
and Everett or is it their purpose to support the
democratic nominees? The opposition party in
North Carolina pretend to feel much interest to
the in which the Democratic Convention
shall settle the dispute in regard to platforms, al
though their own Convention dared not even at
tempt to adopt platform maintaining the rights
of the South. What right have the supporters of
Bell to say one word about democratic platforms,
when it is we'll known that their Convention
ignored the slavery question altogether? To hear
a man who intends to vote for John Bell praise
the secessoniss is rather ridiculous, in view of the
fact that Mr. Bell has made an effort to concliate
the Black Republicans by saying that he believed
majority of them were devoted to the Constitu-
ton and the Union, although said majority is con-
stantly infringing upon the rights of the South.

WAKING UP THE WRONG PAssENGER.-At an
opposition meeting in Onslow county week before
last, Mr. Wright, highly respectable gentleman
aud talented lawyer of Wilmington was called
upon for speech; but MIR Wright told them he
had not settled in his own mind with which party
he should act He said he was waiting to see
which candidate stood the best chance of beating
the Black Republicans, and expected to support
the man who was most likely to save the country
from fanatical rule. This time our opposition
friends walked up the wrong passenger" Mr.
Wright has always heretofore acted with the whig
opposition party; but We suppose he has very
little confidence in the success of John Bell, es-
pecialiy when placed upon platform, under which
Mr. Seward, by strict construction, expects to
abolish slavery in the States.
