Mr.. Haywood's Speech.


Ed Graham Haywood Esq, one of the Democrat
c Electors for the State at large addressed the peo
pie in the Court house, in this City, on Tuesday
evening last. We took no notes, and shall not,
therefore, attempt to report the peech,-indeed,
with our limited space no report which we could
make would do justice to the speaker.
Mr. Haywood confined himself mainly to dd ralo
rem, touching in the commencement and conclusion
of his remarks on natulsa affairs Mr.. Pools plat
form, which proposes to tax every thing was tho
roughly riddled. Mr.. H. showed beyond all ques-
ton that the Opposition platform does propose to
tax every thing-"aU property" and erery species
of property" according to value; that such plan
of taxation, if adopted, would reduce the tax on
lands and slaves and on other subjects to such an
extent as to leave $475,OOO of the public revenue
to be made up from neW subjects of taxation; and
that these neo subjects must be and would be cat
tie horses, hogs, household furniture, and many
other articles of prime necessity. He demonstrated
also the importance and the justice of discriminating
between articles of luxury and those of prime neces
sty-of exempting many things entirely from tax
ation and then proved, from the Opposition plat
form itself and from the declarations of Opposition
speakers, that they are pledged against such dis
ordinations and exemptions, committed as they
are to taxing every thing at the same uniform, I'M
bending rate.
lie replied to portions of Mr.. Badger speech de-
lvered the evening before, in strain of argument,
humor, irony and sarcasm which elected warm ap-
plause from the audience. We predict that Mr..
Badger will not meet Mr.. Haywood in discussion
during this campaign.
Mr.. Haywoods appeals to the audience to stand
by the national Democratic party as the only hope
of the Union, and his eloquent illusions to Judge
Douglas were enthusiastically applauded. He de-
cared that while a true Southern man, before he
would break up the party at Baltimore he would
consent to stand again, he stood in 1856, the
Cincinnati platform pure and simple, admitting the
difference in interpretation and referring the ques
ton to the Courts and that if Mr. Douglas should be
the nominee of that Convention he would support
him cordially and actively, not only the nominee,
but on his merits statesman and patriot and as
the advocate of the Constitutional rights of the
South.
The speech, which occupied nearly three hours,
was listened to attentvely and produceda profound
impression ON the audience We have heard many
speeches during the last twenty years. and We can
truly say that we never listened to able speech
from of Mr.. Haywood's age. The Democracy
Of Wake owe it to themselves, to their cause, and
to the State herself-proud as she is of the genius
and talent of her sons-to cherish and sustain this
young man.

also made speeches on the subject. The army ap-
preparation bill was discussed until adjournment.
HOUSE bill providing for the return of the recent
ly captured Africans was passed with an amendment
limiting the amour. appropriated to $500
During the debate on the above bill, Mr. Smith,
of Virginia, said that he wanted the negroes to
return or remain, at their option
Mr.. Taylor Intellectually proposed that the United
States and Great Britain, should enter into joint
Convention for the return of captured Africans.
Mr.. Pryor questioned the constitutionality of ap-
proprlating money to send them back, though he
thought that Congress had the power to suppress
the African slave trade. He was in favor of re-
ducing such Africans to state of quasi slavery
apprentices
Mr.. Millson earnestly opposed this, and argued
that the plan of sending them back was humane
and judcious. We can, said he, do nothing else
with them.
The bill was passed, by vote of 121 against Sc.

MIR. BADGERS speech.

The Hon. George E. Badger one of the Opposi.
ton Electors for the State at large addressed the
people in the Courthouse, in this place. on Monday
evening last We did not hear Mr. Badger, but We
learn that he spoke mainly on adj UalOrem and Bell
and Everett
1t is little strange that Mr. Bager should come
forward at this late period of his life to advocate
scheme even apparently intended to benefit the
great mass of the people. We say apparently in
tended for it will he obvious to every intelligent
person who investigates the subject that Mr. Badgers
plan OF taxing erery thing instead of diminishing
the burdens of the great body Of the people, will
actually increase them. But Mr.. Badger, for the
first time in his career as a public man, processes
sympathy with the masses, and would be their
champion in establishing equality for theml Where
was he when Free Suffrage before the people
Why, he opposed it with all his power; and even
now, in arguing in favor of Gd ralOEem, he assumes
that as the Democrats did wrong Gor that is the
substance of the assumpton) in advocating and car
rying Free Suffrage, the Opposition have right to
do wrong too by advocating and carrying ad UdLOrem
Equally strange is the course which Mr.. Badger
is pursuing in relation to Mr.. Bell and the Kansas
Nebraska act. 1t is well known that Mr. Badger
stood side by side with Judge Douglas of the
champions of shat act; yet ne now stands upon
platform, and most probably himself framed the
platform, which dcnounces that act as having "abro
gated long-establislred compromised" 1t is well
known, too that Mr.. Bell voted against that act;
that Mr.. Badger having authority to do So pledged
Mr.. Bell in its favor before the vote was taken that
Mr.. Bell denied Mr. Badgers authority thus to
pledge him; that Mr.. Badger insisted on his author
ity as from Mr.. Bell himself; and that Mr. Bell
charged falsehood on Mr.. Badger in reply. If this
issue of vcracity has been settled the public has
never been informed of it If Mr.. Bell-assuming
the fact to be so-has ever atoned to Mr. Badger
and to the Wing party for this act of treachery on
his part the country docs not know it. And yet
Mr.. Badger, under these circumstances could express
his admiration for the man John Bell, and could
commend him to his friends as gentleman and
patriot!
Let Mr.. Badgers friends and admirers clear up
these facts, if they can.

We give below the proceedings of Democratic
meeting recently held in Rockingham, which was
addressed by the Hon. Thomas Settle, Hon. Alfred
NJ. Scales, j. R. Mclean, ESQ.,, and DR.. Thomas W.
Keen. The three latter Electors, Mr. Scales be-
ing of the Electors for the State at large They
are all for Douglas for President, and look to his
nomination at Baltimore as the surest if not the
only of preserving the Democratic party, and
of thereby preserving the Union. In this connec-
ton we may also state that Ed. G. Haywood Esq,
the other State Elector, took similar position in
relation to Judge Douglas in his speech in the Court
house, in this City, on Tuesday evening last.

Lincoln.
From the above declarat on of the Republican can
didate for the Presidency, delivered in Chicago on
the 10Th of july 1885, it appears that he repudates
the doctrine of submission to the decisions made by
the judicial tribunals of the country. This is sim
gular declaration to from the lips of public
man. and especially one who aspires to the chief
magstracy of the country.
Is this the present attitude of Mr. Lincoln? Does
he now declare himself independent of the judiciary?
Will he if elected President of the United States dis
regard its Interpretation of the Constitution ?-N
Y Journal Of Commerce.
Mr.. Lincoln would then disregard the Constitution
of the United States as expounded on judicial
question by the Supreme Court. That is the doc
trine of the higher law"
Judge Douglas, in his late great speech in the
Senate, addressing Southern gentlemen who desire
to add new matter to the Cincinnati platform, said
ave differ only on a law point; let the Court de-
eide that and l only ask that you will bow to the
decision of the Court with the same submission that
shall, and carry it out with the same good faith"
Lincoln would reject and trampe under foot the de-
cisons of the Supreme Court; Douglas would sus-
tain them. And yet there are Southern Opposition
lists so swayed by party rage as to declare that
Douglas is no better than Lincoln
