LOOK AT 1T, WESTERN MEN.-We hope every
voter IN the West-every man who thinks the
West ought to receive part of the appropriations
for internal lmprovements-will read the letter of
j r. Jordan, Esq, which shows that Mr. Pool, the
opposition candidate for Governor, is an enemy to
Western interests, or at least opposed the extern
sion of the Railroads west We know Mr. Jordan
personally, aud We know that his word is as good
as any mans in the country-he is heightened,
honorable gentleman. Mr. Pool opposed Mr. Jor-
dan for the Legislature on the ground that he
(Jordan) voted for the Western Extension Rail-
ROAD Let every Western man know and under
stand this matter.

CoNGREss.-ln the Senate on the 26th, COM
munication from the Postmaster General was read
in regard to the late Post Office defalcaton in New
York. stating the fact that the defacation was just
made known to the Department on the 10th May,
and that there was reason to suppose that any
prior knowledge existed in the Department
The Senate in executive session rejected the
Mexican treaty. The House passed the bill in "a
vor of establishing government printing office.
In the House, on the lst inst, personal mis-
understanding between Messrs Houston of Ala
bama, and Train of Massachusetts,, occupied
several hours. A resolution of censure of the
former gentleman was offered, but he finally
apologized to the House for violation of rules, and
the resolution was Withdrawn.

COMMUNICATIVE Shakespeare Harris, Esq,
and Capt Moses Pitts, have declared themselves
candidates for the Commons in Cabarrus county;
both oppositionists Cabarrus is entitled to only
one Commoner.
In Orange county, the democratic candidates
are DIR. Pride Jones for the Senate, and j. W.
Norwood and W. F. Strowd for the Commons.
The opposition candidates are Josiah Turner, Jr.,
for the Senate, and Jones Watson and H. K.
Nash for the Commons. Mr. Turner is the same
individual who made himself ridiculous in the
last legislature about the appointment of Mags-
trates.
In Robson county, the democrats have nomi-
mated John S. Pope and Alex. FL. Mcmillan for
the Commons, and recommended w. l.. Steele for
the Senate from Richmond and Robson. The
opposition party nominated Murdoch McRae and
Stephen S. Cobb for the Commons, and recommend
ed Gen. Dockery as their candidate for the Senate.
We think the running of opposition candidates
in the different counties will be the means of bring
ing out the democratic vote, and thus increase
Gov Ellis majority.

Gov. GRAHAM.-Though Gov. Graham has
ever been a determined enemy of the democratic
party, We have always esteemed him for his hon
esty and strai ght-forwardness But our faith in
his consistency has been considerably shaken by
his present course in supporting ad valorem and
Mr. Pool He presided at an opposition meeting
in Orange the other day, and made speech in
favor of amending the Constitution. Gov Ora
ham is pledged to maintain the Constitution as it
is in regard to taxation upon slave property. I'm
der assurances given by him and his associates,
that but capitation tax should be imposed
upon slaves, and that the capitation tax should be
equal upon all classes of persons, the East consent
ed to call the Convention of 1885 to amend the
Constitution. We suppose Gov. Graham's anxious
desire to overthrow the democratic party has made
him forget these pledges.

SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CoNvENTIoN-DIvI
SION IN SENTIMENTAL Democratic State Con-
vention was held in Columbia last week for the
purpose of endorsing the course Of the seceders
aud appointing delegates to the Richmond Con-
vention. The Convention not very harmonl-
Gus, judging from the account of the proceedings
in the Columbia Carolinian The conservative
portion desired the re-appointment of the old dele
cation, and the delegates from the State at large
who attended Charleston were proposed as dele
gates to Richmond; but the ultra men Eve think
We are justified in calling them dsunion men) pro-
posed different ticket with Hon. II. B. RheH at
the head; whereupon the former district delega-
tons Mr Gaillard, editor of the Carolinian, among
the number,) declared they would not accept of
appointments to Richmond if Rhett was selected
But the Convention elected Rhett and three other
new delegates to represent the State at large. Mr.
Rhett is disunionist and has heretofore opposed
Conventions, and tried to dscredit the Convention
party in the State, but suppose he is willing to
90 into the Richmond Convention if there is any
chance to dissolve the Union. He will injure the
character of the Richmond Convention very much.
However much we disapprove of the holding of
the Richmond Convention believing that it will
only tend to weaken and divide the South) we
regret that the old delegation from South Carolina
was not reelected We hoped that such men as
MIR Gaard would be there, and, by their con-
sentative influence, prevent hasty and imprudent
action. We have confidence in the nationality
and good intentions of such men, but none at all
in men of Rhetts stripe.

THEY ARE ENTITLED.-It is said that large
number of those who seeded from the Charleston
Convention, will 60 to Baltimore and claim their
seats again. and the question has been raised, are
they entitled to seats in that body? We think
they are, certainly If the seceders willing to
unite with the party and the South again, and
work together for a satisfactory nomination, we
hope no objection will be raised to their doing SO.
We think they acted too hastily at Charleston, but
if they anxious to make another effort to unite
the party, we have no doubt they will have an
opportunity of proving their good intentions.

THEY ARE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE
oUEsTIoN.-The more the people understand the
electioneerirg scheme of Mr. Pool about ad valo-
rem, the less chance he has of being elected. Mr.
Pool sees this, consequently he is beginning to
dodge the issue as he comes West. A gentleman
who was present at the discussion at Graham last
week, says that Mr. POOLS lodging accomplish
ments are wonderful, with a strong disposition to
play the demagogue. Time and again Gov Ellis
would corner him with the argument but he would
jump about and skip about in manner that would
do infinite credit to the dextery of the veritable
Jim Crow himself. The fact is, whenever the
scheme is to tax farming Implements furniture,
horses stock of all kind &C., (and opposition pa
pers say this is the object) they will repudate it,
and allow Mr. Pool to live awhile longer in retire
ment in Pasquotank.
The inquisitorial character of the scheme is
enough to render it unpopular. The idea that a
man should be compelled to file a schedule, or list
all the property he owns for taxation, subject to
the inspection of the public, is revolving. Such
thing would cause jealous and distrustful feelings
to spring up between friends and neighbors. Be-
fore one man could trust another he would run to
the Clerks or Sheriff office to see what he was
worth--what amount of stock, furniture, &C., he
owned This would be the tendency of Mr. POOLS
ad valorem scheme, and it is time everybody un-
derstood it, so as to nip it in the bud

sss' The opposition party in North Carolina is
quite anxious divide and distract the democratic
party. and for this purpose Mr. Pool has taken
sides with the secessionists. He was disappointed
in his expectations of being able to raise the dis
union cry against Gov. Ellis and his supporters,
consequently he takes the back tack, and processes
great love for the seceders, although his (Pool's)
party failed to assert the rights of the South at
the Baltimore Convention which nominated John
Bell. No democrat ought to be deceived by the
inconsistency of Mr. John Pool.

Who is THE BEST FRIEND THE opposition
papers have been amusing the people by an effort
to make them believe that Gov. Ellis is an enemy
| to the West. Yes, as absurd as it may seem, they
have charged and are charging that Jno. W. Ellis,
Westerm man, (and one who has always sympa-
thized and been identified with Western interests
is an enemy to the West! But let everybody in
the State read the letters which we publish in
another column and then say which is the better
friend to the West, Ellis or Pool. From the time
Mr. Pool was nominated, we have been aware Of
the fact that he could not meet the Western peo-
pie and make any plausible excuse for his deter
mined opposition to their interests, as manifested
previous to his nomination for Governor; and
whenever such thing was intimated by demo-
Gratis, the opposition became quite indignant, and
scorned the idea that Mr. Pool had acted as charged
Now let them read Mr. Jordan's statement, and
clear Mr. Pool if they can. Mr. Jordan is man
of high character; he is of the strictest in
tegrity, and what he says is true.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1860-06-05

DIsAPPoINTED-Mr Pool and his friends are
disappointed and doubt disheartened because
the North Carolina delegation did not withdraw
from the Charleston Convention, and thus afford
the opposition party in North Carolina ground
for raising the cry ofdisunon against the democracy
IF the N G. delegation had Withdrawn from the
Charleston Convention, Mr. Pool and every oppo-
stion paper in the State would have charged that
it movement to dissolve the Union, and Gov.
Ellis would have been held up as the representa-
tive of disunion party. But we are much graft
fed to say that they have been dsappointed-they
have missed their thunder this time, and must re-
sort to something else. Gov Ellis and the demo-
cratic party are for preserving the Union as long
as it can be done consistently with the honor and
rights of the South-they for Constitutional
Union and have no sympathy with such hot-headed
men as the Yanceys and Rhetts.
