WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT?

The representation in the Senate OF North
Carolina is based upon taxation. That section OF
the State which pays the largest amount OF money
into the State Treasury is entitled to the great
est number of Senators. At the present time
the East has the ascendancy in the Senate, be-
cause she pays more money into the Treasury than
the West Now, suppose the proposition OF the
Opposition party to increase the tax slaves, is
carried into effect, what will be the result? Why,
the East will have still greater prepOn derance in
the Senate and the representation from the West
will be lessened Representation must follow tax
alton as principle of right and justice. Some of
the counties in the West that are now entitled to
Senator, would be cut out, and would have to be
joined to another county in order to have mem
Der in the Senate. This would be the result of
the change proposed by the opponents of the dem
ocratc party and it is time the people in the West
were looking at the matter in its true light and see
in what way they to be injured by the scheme
of the oppostionists, which they call ad valorcm.
It would impose heavier burthens on the East
without corresponding benefit to the West
1t would be manifestly unfair to change the
basis 90 representation in the Senate. and make it
according to white population. In that way, we
admit, the West might get the advantage; but GER
tainy great portion of the good people of West
North Carolina want the East to pay the main
portion of the taxes and not have IA fair share of
the power in the Legislature. Such thing would
be unfair, and we do not believe that the western
people will cOuntenancc a scheme that would re-
suit in pal pable I'M usticc
Suppose the opposition party get into power,
and the tax on negroes is increased is it not very
plain that that section which pays the increased
tax will be entitled to increased representation
common fairness would demand that it should
be 50; and as the number of Senators is fixed by
the Constitution at fifty, in order to give this ill.,
creased reprcsen taton to the tax-paying section,
(the East the West must necessarily lose some
of her present number Of Senators So it is evil
dent that the Western part of the State will not
gain anything by falling in love with the cleo
tlOneering hobby Of the opposition party.
We dislike to refer to these sectional questions
or to arouse sectional feelings; but the opposition
Convention has forced it upon US, with the hope OF
catching western votes, and we intend to show
that section will be injured rather than bene-
fitted by what is miscallcd ad valorcm taxation.
John Pool has never shown any great love for the
est, and the opposition are very much mistaken
it they think the people OF this section to
be captivated either by him his clap-trap plat
form.

The "OPPOsITION" PLATFORM-The resolu
tions passed by the late Opposition State Conven
ton abound in false charges and inconsistent
declarations against the democratic party We
direct attention to the following:
''That the proscriptive policy of the Democratic
party of this State in excluding from the judicia
Office well as from all places of honor and trust
all who do not subscribe to the behests of party
meets our decided condemnation"
A person, not acquainted with the facts, might
suppose that the respectable gentlemen who framed
and passed the above resolution, had always been
very liberal towards democrats in bestowng offices
There were three whig ex-Governors in the Con
vention who voted for the resolution, Morehead
Graham and Manly Now, we want to know when
either of these gentlemen ever appointed demo
crat to a Judgeship in the State-did they ever
make democratic Judg e-did they confer places
of honor and trust upon democrats-did wing lie
gislatures ever do so An unimportant appoint,
ment may have been conferred upon some democrat
during whig administrations, Though do not now
recollect of any,) but it is well known fact that
during the ten years the wings were in power in
the State democrats were carefully excluded from
all the offices. For number of years the judicial
bench was almost completely monopozed by wings;
and now, because the democratic party has seen
proper to promote some Gifts members to that posi-
ton, set of whg and k. n proscriptive politicians
get together and very gravely resolve that the de-
mocratic party has committed great sin Ii
these oppositionists had ever shown any lberality
towards democrats, they might complain with some
show of consistency, but it is, the record is
against them, their doeful lamentations are incon-
sistent with their acts, and will not beget much
sympathy with the people.
The Judges appointed by democrats will COM
pare flvorabiy in intellect, morality and legal at
tainments with any appointed by wing administra-
tions We presume all our opponents will assent
to the truth of this; and it is evident that their
resolution is in bad TASTE unfair and uncalled for.

he onnnsitinn nlatfnrm II reads as fnlloMs.

nSs~ Here is another resolution or declaration of
the opposition platform. 1t reads as follows:
"Thev 1.-THE democrats have annulled long
established compromises between the conflicting
interest of different sections broken down the great
landmarks of policy erected by fathers, and
left the public councils laundering in darkness and
uncertainty
When the above resolution was read and adopt
ed, we imagine that the Hon. George Z. Badger
wriggled and squirmed in his seat. 1t was dead
shot at him, though he swallowed it and made no
resistance. 1t is notorious fact that Mr. Bad ger
materially assisted in annulling the Missouri COM
promise, to which, we suppose, the resolution re-
fers. He stood side by side with Judge Douglas
and the democratic party in the effort to repeal
odious restriction the rights Of southern people
And why did he remain silent when a charge is
brought against the democratic party for act
which he approved of and assisted in accomplish
ing? He voted for the above resolution though it
strikes him with as much force as it does the dem
ocratic party Mr. Badger is the opposition Elector
in this State, and let it be remembered that in his
eagerness to denounce the democratic party he has
actually denounced himself.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES u nder this
caption the Washington Star publishes Secret
Circular issued by the Abolition party, and signed

publican Executive Congressional Committee"
The Treasurer of this committee is John Covode
of Pennsylvania, who introduced the resolution in
the House of Representatives the other day to ap-
point committee to investigate what the oppos-
ton term the "corruptons of the democratic party
This circular of the Black Republican Committee
is issued with the view of raising money for the
purpose of circulating and flooding the country
with Abolition documents. Here is an extract
from the circular:
'The Democratic party has shown by its action
that its determined purpose is to ertend sloUery."
Mr. Covode Ga Pennsylvania aboltionist) says
that the democratic party is determined to extend
slavery, and in order to make capital against that
party and assist in its defeat, he proposes, in the
House of Representatives, to raise a committee to
report on the corruption of the democratic party"
At this, the opposition party in North Carolina
Shout for ;oy-they are willing to cooperate with

he will do no such thing. The democrats don't

RAISING REvENUE,-In opposing the PROPOSE
ton of the opposition party to change the Consti-
tuition ofNorth Carolina, it is not TO be understood
that the Democratic party is opposed to modifying
and changing IN some particulars the present reve-
hue bill. 1t is hard matter to make any sort of
a revenue bill perfect, and it is not contended by
the democratic party that the bill passed by the
last Legislature is perfect-democgats are not OPP
posed to amending and altering it as experience
may seem TO require. Taxes laid on some
things that light be omitted and in this respect
we know that democrats are disposed to make
amendments, but they are opposed to calling a
Convention, at great expense to the State to effect
what can be done by Legislative enactment without
mourning extra expense
