Judge Howard and MIR. Allen.

JuOSc 11OWdTu anu NGs Aicus
The last Goldsborough Independent thus speaks
of Judge Howard and Mr.. Allen, of Duplin who
acted as Solicitor in place of Mr.. Houston:--
"Superior Court for this County has been in ses-
sion here, all the week, his honor, Judge Howard,
presiding. This is but the second Court in Judge
H. circuit, and he has fully sustained the eminent
judicial qualifications of patience, dignity impartial
ity and industry accorded him, at Duplin Court,
last week, by our contemporary Of the Wilmington
Journal His demeanor commands universal re-
spect and his decisions, thus far, have given unver
sal satisfaction. .
We regret to learn that sickness prevented Mr..
Solicitor Houston from attending our Court but he
was ably represented by VIM. A. Allen, ESQ.,, his
professional partner, who discharged the duties Of
the office with distinguished ability, well as with
eminent success He obtained verdict of guilty in
almost every case and evil doors may well dread his
return hther in the same official capacity. Upon
Mr.. A. has been conferred the important political
office of Elector in the Cape Fear district by the
Democratic party" ''-.. q! i'~

Hr Mr., Pool said in his speech at Gainesville,
that he WAS not afer the particularly asssus
jeeof taxation, and that hi proposition, if carried
out would not increase the tax on slaves. Why,
then, does he desire the change? If the tax is not
to be increased, why does he propose to tax slaves
according to valuee Does he wish to keep the tax
on slaves at what it is, and then, by horizontal,
on: and out system of ad ralorem, make up for the
revenue that may be needed by taxing the cattle
the hogs the horses, &c, of the State? Is that his
system of ad ealorem?
The people had right to expect that Mr.. Pool
would fairly and fully define his position on this
subject in his Gainesville speech. He has not met
this expectation. He assures the East that he is
not for increasing the tax on slaves, what will he
say when he goes West? .a4
But Mr. Pool wants Convention to make one
amendment to the Constitution. He would tear up
the whole roof of the house to put in one shing'e.
All, fellow-ctizens, Mr.. Pool desires Convention
for more purposes than one Do you desire Con-
vention? Is it necessary at this time? Mr.. Pool
proposes to call it on the federal basis. According
to that basis one section of the State would have
clear majority, and would therefore, have the power
to make just such and as many changes in the Con-
sttution they might choose. The basis of repre-
sentation, which the gist Of the compromise of
1885, might be changed. Are you prepared for
that? Is the East prepared for it? Does the West
desire it? We do not believe it does.
But above and beyond all this, Mr. Pool voted in
the last Legislature against Convention and against
the principle of ad ralorem. Will the people trust
politician who can give no better reason for his
sudden change on these subjects than that he wants
office? Will his own constituents follow him in
this selfish movement of his to reach office? Have
they changed because he has?

Address of the State Committee.


We have just issued from the Standard offite the
Address of the Democratic State Committee. from
the pen of the Chairman, E. G. Haywood, ESQ
We will publish it in full as soon as We can make
room for it.
The Address is mainly devoted to the question of
adj ralovm, which is discussed with much ability.
1t concludes with the following eloquent and impress
sve appeal, which will find warm response in the
bosom of every Dcmocrat:-
"But important as the subject is it is subordi-
nate fellowctizens to the great question which is
now aritating this country from Maine to California,
upon the decision of which rests the future con-
tinuance of the Constitutional Union of these
sovereign States and the preservation of the
rights of the Southern Republics. The DEM
ocratic party believes that their defeat at this
time even upon question OF local policy must
weaken the only national party in this Union;
it believes that the success of the newly fedged OPP
position party at this time, a party powerless for
good, must give aid and comfort to our enemies in
the North and discourage friends in that section
who are carrying on a vigorous and manly but I'M
equal warfare in the "dcbatale and for rights.
The facts of the last Presidential campaign
demonstration that there is no hope for the prcser-
walton of our constitutional Union with its number
less blessings and countless hopes, but in the con-
tlnued success Oh tue bemocrat'c party. we W
lieve that the sole object of this agitation of State
issue at such time is to distract and divide the
Democratic party of the State, looking more to the
Presidential than the approaching Gubernatorial
election Under such circumstances, We appeal
we feel that we shall not appeal in van-to the pa
trotism of the people to sustain the Democratic
party without reference to any question of taxaton
to aid them in preserving this great and glorious
government, and then arrange the details of our
revenue system, amid the sunshine of safer days
We appeal to you. by the clustering honors of our
past-by the glorious promise of our presently
the splendid hopes Of our future-to present un-
broken and unwavering front to the common enemy,
and if we fail, we shall have nothing wherewith to
reproach ourselves but will be blest with the proud
conviction, that as faithful and patriotic citizens We
have dared to do our duty amidst dangers and temp
tations which we trust in God are not to become
common in our republic"
