| The ad valorem Democrats will gain nothing by
voting for Mr.. Pool. We do not believe he is in
earnest in advocating the measure, for he voted
against at the last session of the Legislature in
every shape in which it was presented. He never
protested to be for it until he was nominated for
Governor. Before he thought ad galorens would be
popular he voted against it, thus showing his real
sentiments on the subject; but now, when he thinks
it is popular, and will aid in making him Governor,
he is for It, Such politicians are not to be trusted
Forsyth County.
The last Sentinel gives an interesting account Of
the discussion at Sides between the candidates for
the Legislature in Forsyth.
| That well.tried Democrat, Col. Jesse A. Waugh,
is in the field for the Senate in Forsyth and Stokes,
Mr.. Martini the former Senator, having declined a
reelection. Col. Waugh has no open or direct op-
posion. DR.. Withers, talking man, having met
him twice on the stump, has thought better of it
and retired and now COL Covington, of Stokes, is
announced as sort of quiet candidate against Col.
W.-the understanding being that Col. G.. is not to
canvass. Col. Waugh's election is certain by a
large majority.
The Democratic candidates for the Commons are
John Masten, ESQ.,, one of the former Commoners
and Philip Barrow, Esq, formerly Senator from the
district who has taken the place of +. Fries Esq,
declined, mainly account of i'll health. DR..
Kerner and Gen. Pondexter are the K N. candi-
dates for the Commons. From the account given
in the Sentinel it is evident that Mr. Masten is too
much for Gen. Poindexter in debate.
The Sentinel pays the following deserved compli-
ments to Messrs. Masten and Barrow:
"There seems to be special animosity in the mind
of certain political tricksters in this county, to vii
lfy, to traduce and defeat John Masten's election
Why this animosity towards that gentleman? To
any unprcjudiced mind who has attended the dis.
cussions since the opening Of the canvass this ques
ton has a fair solution. Mr.. Masten is rising
man. With a shrewdness and adroitness, unex.
pected by even his most intimate friends, he is &C
. tuay assaling and literally using up the champion
of the Opposition. 1t is notifying to them, liter
