GOV. ELLIS'S APPOINTMENTS.

We are requested to give notice that Gov. Ellis
will address the people at the following times and
places:
Gainesville, Gates, Tuesday, Sd of April.
Hartford, Perquimans, Thursday, 9Th.
Elizabeth City, Pasquotank, Friday, 9th.
Currituck Court House, Saturday, 9TH.
Edenton, Chowan, Monday, 9th.
Plymouth, Washington, Tuesday, 10th.
Williamson, Martin, Wednesday, llth.
Tawboro', Edyccombe, Thursday, 18th
Nashville, Nash, Friday, 18th.
Wilson, Wilson, Saturday, 18th.
These appointments will embrace about two
weeks-as long period as the Governor can well
be absent from his duties in Raleigh. Information
from private source received in Raleigh, renders
it probable that Mr. Pool commenced the campaign
last week. The Governor has made appointments
in Mr. POOLS neighborhood, and will no doubt be
glad to meet him at the times and places mentioned.
If any changes shall be made in the above
appointments, or new ones added after consultation
with Mr. Pool, due notice thereof will be given.-

How WILL IT AFFECT Us I'VE showed last
week that if the made of taxation proposed by the
opposition, were adopted, the people of the West
would lose in representation in the Senate-the
number of Senators from the West would neces-
sarly be decreased, because the East Downing the
largest amount of slave property would pay a
still larger amount into the Treasury, and would
therefore be entitled greater number of Sena-
tors. There is another view of the matter which
we desire to impress on the minds of Western men;
it is this A greater number of the citizens of the
West would be affected by the increased taxes on
negroes than those of the East, because there as
larger number Of shareholders IN the West than
an tie East. The largest amount of slave property
is in the East, but the largest number of slave
holders reside in the West. Now, adopt the pro-
position of the opposition party, and increase the
tax negroes, how will it affect US in the West?
Why it is evident that it will increase the taxes of
greater number of our citizens than those in the
East. The taxes of some individuals in the East,
admit, would be much greater than any in the
West, but the burthen would be felt by the larges.
number i. the West. We ask western voters to
think of this before allowing themselves to be cap
tivated by the electioneering schemes of the OPP
position.
There is another important question to be taken
into consideration, and it is one in which the citi-
of both sections equally and deeply inter-
ested. Will not the imposition Of high taxes on
slaves have tendency to drive that kind of pro-
perty from the State? We think it will, certainly
1t is well known that the enemies of southern in
situations in the North have recommended the i'm
position of high taxes negroes as the best and
surest way to abolish slavery. Suppose, then, the
tax on negroes is increased, and shareholders find
it to their advantage to sell their slaves
out of the State will not of the present sources
of fair proportion of the revenue be diminished
to that extent? Certainly And who will be
benefited by such results? No one-not single
taxpayer in the State. Why? Be-
cause as you remove subjects of taxation, or sour
ces of revenue, from the State, you are obliged to
increase the tax the remaining bects in order
to raise the necessary amount of revenue. Re
move the negroes from the State, and to that ex
tent you increase the necessity for imposing higher
tares on 1und So it will be seen that no class of
citizens Of North Carolina can be benefited by
against Shareholders and slave pro-
perty These conclusions may be denied, but they
cannot be controverted.

I'm DISTRICT CONFERENCE.-The proceedings
of the Democratic District Convention, held IN
This Mace last week, will be found in to-days pa
per. We published an extra last week, contain
ing the proceedings, Immediately after the Secre-
tary got them ready for publication
Il will be seen that VIM Lander Of Lincoln, and
John Walker of Mecklenburg were selected as
Delegates to the National Convention, with David
Sebenck of CASTOR and ii. B. Hammond of Arson,
as aIternates Junius \. Fox of Mecklenburg,
was chosen as Elector. These selections good
ones and give general satisfaction. We think Mr.
Fox. as Elector, will do good service for the party.
He is fluent, ready and popular debater and will
be found able to sustain himself in a discussion
with any one.
The Convention was first addressed by n. n
Fleming, ESQ., of Rowan, in speech of much force
and power Mr. F. deals in facts aud arguments,
and his remarks showed that he is well-infOrmed
politician, and AN able and efficient advocate OF
democratic principles. 1t was the first occasion
we have had to hear Mr. Fleming, and we but ex
press the feeling of all present when we say that
his effort was highly gratifying to his democratic
friends.
Speeches were also made by j. A. Fox, Esq,
and Capt John Walker of Mecklenburg, and j.
NJ Long, Esq, of Cabarrus. We may publish
sketches of their remarks hereafter. They were
pointed and in good taste, and elected frequent
applause,
The remarks of the President, \. w. Burton,
Esq, at the opening and adjournment of the Con-
veution were well-timed and received with general
aPProbatiOn-
The best of feeling prevailed throughout the
entire sessions Of the Convention, and the only
emulation exhibited was that noble emulation of
who can best work and best agree.

VIRGINIA TAX ON MERCHANTs-We were
mistaken in our statement that the bill to tax the
merchants per cent on all their purchases out
of the State had passed the Virginia Legislature
1t has passed the House of Delegates and is now
pending in the Senate. The merchants Of Peters
burg Richmond, and other towns arc making
strenuous efforts to defeat it.
If We understand the object of this tax, it is in
tended to discriminate against goods purchased in
the abolition States. We are surprised to hear Of
much opposition to it, just after the late general
cry against patronzing the North. But it verifes
the common prediction that but few mems patriot
ism extend deeper than their pockets.
