THE REVENUE LAW.

The present revenue law of this State is by no
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 be modified and
altered.
But the question for the Democratic party was,
shall We pass this law as it is, or shall We refuse
dishonesty reftlse-to pay the State debt? That
the question: and like men the Democratic
members of the Legislature met it. They passed
the law, aided by only two Opposition votes in the
Commons Outlaw, of Bertie and Meares of
Brunswick.
What would have been the effect on the credit
and character of the State if revenue law had
been passed? Our State bonds, now bringing 80
cents on the dollar in New York, while Tennessee
and Missouri bonds are bringing but from 81 to 90
cents would have fallen or 90 to 30 cents; indeed
they might have fallen lower than that while all
our State works, and all our public charitable
institutions 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 disgraced 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. If the people
are opposed to paying the State debt honestly
contracted and if they willing to see the State
disgraced by refusing to make provision to pay her
honest debts let them vote for John Pool and these
Opposition leaders-Raleigh Standard.

The HORSE LEECH SToRY-Of all the mlsera-
BILE attempts at msrepresenting mans position,
we think the recent "horse-leech" attempt is the
most miserable. The card of Gov. Ellis which we
publish in another column, explains the matter to
the satisfaction of all fair-minded men, if, indeed
it needed any explanation Gov. Ellis record is
too clear, for him to be Injured in the West by
any clap-trap that may be trumped up against him
From the Fayetteville Observer we expected bet
ter things, than find it persistng in reteratng
charge palpably absurd the "horse-leech"
story especially after seeing Gov. Ellis card, in
which he quotes from his notes, used on the &C.
casion, to show that the figure of speech was not
applied to the West. But the Observer evades
the force of this by playing off upon the idea that
Gov~Eis had his Gatesville speech written ont in
full! This is equal to the complaint made by man
who had been published ''pol}troon he said
the other didn't spell the word poltroon" properly
Gov Ellis is Western man. and has always main
tanned the rights and worked for the interests of the
West. His record proves it. But for two years he
has been the Governor of the State, and he will be
for two years more, and is therefore very properly
doing all he can to maintain the honor and credit
of the whole State. And hence, for persuading
the East to 90 for her own as we'll as the States
interest," he is called in question: his words criti-
cscd and his motives impugned. Is it right?
Read his card.

STREET SPEAKING
In Baltimore at Niqht.


On Tuesday night, after the adjournment of
the Convention, the Douglas wing ofthe Democracy
assembled in front of Hon. Reverdy johnson s
house, and led off by introducing MIR Vallandig-
ham, of Ohio, who proceeded at length to advocate
the claim of Judge Douglas upon the Democracy,
and particularly upon the Southern portion of it.
The Judge he thought, bore the cloak of the
immortal jackson.
The Little Giant had visited the General at the
hermitage, who told him that by his noble defence
of his course at New Orleans that he had smothed
his (the GeneraPs) course to the grave [Tremen-
dous cheering. Judge Douglas was certainly the
man for the Presidency. He. the speaker, did
not believe in squatter sovereignty, as commonly
interpreted, but he believed in the power of the
people. Popular sovereignty was what he advocat-
ed. Loud applause
Mr. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, was introduced.
| He thought Judge Douglas was the man for the
times; man who stood upon sound basis, who
the friend of both North and South. TAp-
plause.
At this point of the address, Mr. Hogan, of Ken
lucky, anti Douglas man, commenced an Grafton
from the balcony of the Gilmer House-This for
moment caused some emotion, and the crowd be-
came separated into distinct fractions.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania continued
as also the one from Kentucky, and, as may be
readily imagined, there considerable differ
ence of opinion between them. They alter
nately interrupted by applause and groans, but
both held to their positions.
At this point there were loud cries for Mr. Yam
cey, of Alabama, which were only queled by in
formation from the balcony of the Gilmer House
that that gentleman would be unable to speak.
The Douglas men seized the opportunity to Gre
ate diversion in their favor and introduced Nh
Logan of Illinois. That gentleman convinced
that Judge Douglas sthe only man who could pos
sibly save the country in the present crisis, and
continued at length to euogze the character of his
favorite. He also reviewed the course of Mr. Yam
cey, and evidently not admirer of the politi-
cal attecedents of that gentleman,

na5~ AS evidence that the Opposition are
becoming hard run for something against Governor
Ellis, we notice the silly and absurd charge that
the Governor said "he did not want the votes of
laboring men" Now, we venture the assertion
that dcath-bed confession (aboat the only thing
that could wiring the truth from some of the
opposition would reveal the fact that not human
being in North Carolina, including the that
made the charge believes it to be true; not one
Why, the leaders of the opposition must think
the people have very little reason and common
sense, to believe every cock-and-bull story they
may hatch. They charge Gov. Ellis on one hand
with trucking to the prejudices Of the East to
catch votes, and on the other with saying he Gid
not want the votes oflaboring men-in other words
that he did not want majority of the voters in
the State to vote for him FelOw-ctizenS, do
these tales meet? What sense is there in all the
foolish charges that the excited opposition are
bringing against Gov Ellis?
