and some extracts from the debate in the Senate
previous to the passage of the law, in which Mr..
Bledsoe stated that if all the property in the State
was taxed on the ad calorem plan, it would require
only twevc-and-a-half cents on the 500 worth to
raise as much revenue as was raised by the unjust

The Contrary, Unhappy Party.

The Examiner thus refers to the amusement af.
forded to the citizens of Richmond by the late Op-
position Convention held in that City:
"These periodical exhibitions of impotent venom
upon the part of our unfortunate opponents always
put the Democracy of Richmond in perfectly good
humor. They collect at the African Church in large
numbers, and when the food-ga Of Opposition de-
nuncation are fairly opened, they laugh until their
sides ache There is something intensely ludicrous
in thousand or more worthy gentlemen gravely
assembling every year and proving to each others
entire satisfaction the utter depravity general wick
edness diabolca sinfulness and horrible rottenness
of that party which invariably at the next election
after these outpourings of abuse fays+he Wing Op-
position party to their hearts content Whilst the
people are thus ncredulous to the charges which
our embittered opponents prefer against US, the De-
mocracy can well afford to laugh heartily at their
denouncers."
The same is true as to this State For the last
ten years the Opposition leaders have been assem-
bling at stated times in Raleigh, to denounce and
abuse the Democracy, to vent their spleen and dis
appointment, and to resolve to go home and defeat
the Democrats. Meanwhile the Democrats laugh,
and the people vote these public-spirited patriots
down. They will vote them down again in August
and November. Both sides used to this sort of
thing and our Opposition friends seem to relish it
nearly as we'll as the Democrats do. ut is their
vocation, Hail." What would these Opposition pa
triots do il they in power and had no party to
abuse? They would spoil for the want of something
to oppose unless they turned their weapons on each

persons we ever heard or read of. The truth is,

The Illinois debates, as the speeches
of their great Senatorial canvass in 1858
are called, showed the peculiarities of
their genius, and the difference in their
characters and abilities, to great advan-
tage. Lincoln was always argumentive
always cool, never yituperaliye. never
low. He appealed TO the judgment Of
his auditors, TO their conscience or rea-
son always. Ii he indulged in bit Of
playful humor, il was TO relieve the wea
riness of the hour. or TO foil some adroit
blow of his antagonist. He handled
Douglas as be would an eel--by main
strength. Sometimes, perhaps, lie hugg-
ed him so strongly that he slipped through
his fingers. Douglas rarely argues

honest man in the world. about amalga-

he could awake the passions and appeal
to the preludices Of the mob, and he used

battle by tricks. The Judgment of all
men of mind upon the Illinois canvass is

Lincoln's Mexican War Record.

Rev. Henry Clay Dean, and some of
the other Democratic orators in this State
are making the charge in localities where
they think their lies cannot be immedi-
ately exposed that Abraham Lincoln
when in Congress, voted against sending
food and clothing 10 the American troops
in Mexico, thinking thereby to starve
the army into en- abandonment of the
war. A Democratic paper in Illinois
the Mattoon Gazeae-some time ago made
similar allegation, but see how manfully
and complimentary it retracts it:
We made the charges against Mr..
Lincoln, ir relation to voting for supplies,
upon thee information of an intelligent
gentleman, who assured US that the re-
cord stood against him. The political
friends Of Mr.. Lincoln called out atten-
ton TO the record, and upon examination
we find that instead Of Mr. Lincoln il was
John Henry of Morgan, who was his i'm
mediate predecessor. who gave the vote.
Ii affords US unfeigned pleasure to be able
to say, upon examination, that our for
mer fellow citizen gave no such vote,
and further that his record will pass
muster with the best men of any party
during his Congressional term" How
many of the Iowa falsltiers have the man.

Old Abe's Foresight.

One of the authors of Mr.. Lincoln's
biography relates an interesting instance
of the latter's political sagacity. He had
triumphantly answered that set Of inter-
rogatories which Douglas had calculated
would crush him, and in return had
made up his mind that his antagonist
should be presented with a collection
His plan was to compel him by public in
terrogation to repudiate either the bred
Scott decision or the doctrine of uncriend-
ly Legislation in the Territories. Before
the discussion commenced at Freeport,
Mr.. Lincoln informed his friends of his
intention. They unanimously counseled
him to abandon his purpose : "tor,"
said they, eff you put that question to
him he will perceive that an answer Civ
ing practical force and effect to the Dred
Scott decision in the Territories inevita-
bly, loses him the battle, and he will
therefore reply by affirming the decision
as an abstract principle, but denying its
practical application" But" said Mr..
Lincoln, eff he does that, he can never
be President" His friends replied.
"That is not your look out, you are after
the ,Senatorshp." "No, gentleman"
said he, 1 am killing larger game
The battle Of 1860 is worth a hundred of
this -
From the day that Mr.. Douglas pro-
mulgated his doctrine of " unfriendly leg
islation' to save himself in Illinois, he
was doomed man in all the South, and

Republicans, though Mr.. Lincoln of
course could not know that he was to be

Mr.. Lincoln.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Spring field, Illinois,
thus speaks of Mr.. LrNcoLS
Among all the candidates for the
Presidency of the United States now in
the field, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois,
seems to be regarded by the people he:e
as the only one who presents the appear
ance, emphatically and literally, of the
man of the people. Without ostentation,
without reserve, without any of those ex-
quisitely polite attentions one finds in the
man Of the world, and especially in the
aspiring politician, nurtured in the patri.
clan atmosphere of Washington, Lincoln
both looks the man, cts the gentleman,
and mirrors at once the keenness of the
astute statesman and the firmness of the
rigid executive officer. The people say
they have long wanted a President free
from the corruptions which long offici-
al residence at the seat of government is
calculated to entail /; and from what |

few months, majority of the people
