The Wilmington Journal surveying the field and
speaking of the prospects of the Democratic party
after giving assurance of a complete Democratic
triumph in New Hanover, says:
1T appears to be conceded that Davis, Democrat,
will be chosen TO represent Bladen county in the
House Of Commons, Williamson, Democrat, will be
chosen from Columbus and unless all the Democrats
with whom we have cOnvcrScd, be greatly mistaken,
Taylor will he elected to the Senate from the District
composed of Bladen, Brunswick and Columbus
He will, if the Democrats only stick up they
ought to, and we think, will
Ellis will obtain his full vote and perhaps more
in the counties OF the Senatorial District referred to-
He will do 81 in pnSlow, in Duplin, in Sampson in
Wayne, and in Johnston In fact, we anticipate
rather gain the aggregate in this section of the
State. All the unfavorabe reports about Johnston
are erroneous We will probably make a gain for
the Legislature from that county We think Col
Watson will certainly be sent to the Senate. The
voters of Johnston will send him if they really wish
to secure the services Of good and pure man.
c are surprised TO learn that there even yet
no Democratic candidates for the Legislature in Pitt
county. Why Is this? Pitt ought to be carried by
ihc Democrats this time. 1t ought to send Demo-
cratic delegation to the General Assembly"
We had short interview with DR.. Blow, a few
days ago, and, if we not mistaken learned from
him that there full Democratic ticket in the
field, in Pitt, with bright prospects Of victory.
We saw a gentleman yesterday from west of Ra
leigh, who assures us that Ellis will receive the
whole Democratic strength in those counties where
our informant is acquainted and we can assure our
readers that he has right to know.
We also several gentlemen from counties east
of GoldSboro', on yesterday morning, who say that
Ellis will poll the full Democratic strength every
where, and gain in some counties. Craven and
Carteret will assuredly hold their own. Wayne will
stand as firm as the rocks of Gibraltar. We learn
that prominent Wing Of Craven is warmly advo-
eating the election Of Elis-several prominent Wings
of Wayne county doing the same. Let the
work go Let no Democrat sleep at his post

Mr.. j. j. Hooper, editor of the Montgomery Ala

pressing regret that he should feel 1t to be his duty
to support MeSsrs. Bell and Everett that gentleman
replies through the columns of the Memphis En-
quirer again stating his reason for the course he
has taken; but adding that if Mr. Hooper and those
who are with him succeed in precpitating the cot

privatons or perils they may be called on to face
frankly as the boldest.
The Baltimore Democrats had stormy meeting
on Thursday night. The week previous the City
Convention was in session and framed resolutions
indorsing Mr.. Douglas, but through some misunder-
standing about the CALL the friends of Mr. Breckin-
ridge were not out in full force. On the present
occasion, however, the latter had the majority By
parliamentary maneuvering the friends of Mr..
Douglas prevented the repeal of the resolutions in
dorsing him, and after excited debate the meet
ing adjourned at ten minutes past IL o'clock with

GREAT MORAL REFORM BY THE QUEEN.-The Queen
of England has issued proclamation, stating that
she has, after serious consideration resolved that it
is her indispensable duty to preserve and advance
the honor of Almighty God, and to suppress all vice
and immortality; wherefore she has made resolu-
ton to "discountenance and punish all manner Of
vice, profaneness and immortality in all persons of
whatsoever degree or quality" She says: 1--WE
do hereby require and command them and every
of them, decently and reverently to attend the
worship of God on every Lords Day." She also
enjoins on all judges, magistrates and other public
officers, that they take to suppress all dissolute
practices, land likewise that they take effectua
care to prevent all persons keeping taverns other
public houses whosever, from selling wine, beer
other liquors, or receiving permitting guests to
be or remain in such Of their houses in time Of
Divine service on the Lords Day."
1t is hoped that the Queen will begin this reform
among the aristocracy and the club-houses.

How CONGRESS ELECTS President AND VICE
PREsIDEST.-It may be useful, just about this time
TO reproduce the statement which the approach of
Presidential election makes opportune every four
years
The House of Representatives has nothing what
ever to do with the election Of Vice President,
nor the Senate with the election Of President
The powers of each body are distinct and entirely
independent OF the other
If no President be chosen by the electors, the
House of Representatives may choose the President
their choice being restricted TO the persons having
the highest numbers, not exceeding three on the
list of those voted for for President
IF no Vice President be chosen by the electors
the Senate shall choose Vice President from the
two highest numbers on the list of those voted for
for President
II the House fails to elect President before the
4th of March next following, then the Vice Presi-
dent, whether elected by the Electors or by the
Senate, shall act as President.
The rule or manner of voting under which the
Senate chooses Vice President is exactly the re-
verse of that Of the House in choosing President
each being the of the general principle or
basis upon which the respective bodies organic
ed The House, representing the people, and or
dinarily voting per capa vote for President by the
States, the representation from each State having
one vote, and majority of all the States being ne
cessary to choice. The Senate representing the
States-in theory at least and the of elect
ing Senators--votes for President per capita, each
Senator being entitled to vote, and majority Of
all the Senators being necessary to choice

Ex-PREsIDENr PIERCE FOR BRECKENRIDGE AND
LANE-It has already been stated that Ex President
Pierce has pronounced the nomination of Douglas
sectional; but it has been streEously denied that
he would support Breckenridge and Lane. A letter
addressed by the Ex-President to Mr. Hallett is
published is the Boston Post and we make the fol-
lowing extract from it. Mr.. Pierce writes:
at was vain to hope for harmony after the action
of the majority upon the report of the Committee
on Credentials. 1t could hardly have failed to be
understood generally that such action must termi-
nate the existence of the Convention as body rep
resenting the Democracy of the Union and even
ruate in the present condition of the powerful and
patriotic organization which has so long upheld the
equal rights and indicated in peace and in war the
common honor of these confederated States. There
has been, in fact no nomination made in conformity
with the established and recognized usages of that
organization, and hence sound and faithful men will
find nothing in the proceedings so far as the nomi-
nees concerned, TO bind their party fealty I'm
der those circumstances, it would crafty exceed
ingy if our friends IN all sections of the land could
unite earnestly and cordially in the support of Mr..
Breckenridge and General Lane, and thus insure for
our cause signal victory"

OPPOSITION AUTHORITY ON AID VALoREM-
WHAT IT MEANS

The Greensborough Patriot, strong and lead
ing Opposition ad ealorem paper, in an article on
this subject explaining it says:
Above we have stated what we understand to
be the position of the West on al rotorenl-that IS
that EVERY SPECIES OF PROPERTY Is to be
TAXED according to its value, not only land and
negroes. but HORSES, COWS, SHEEP and HOGS,
leaving it with the Legislature in framing arevenue
law, to discriminate only in favor of the native
products of the State and the industrial pursuits Oh
the citizens This is precisely the position Of NJ
Pool the position which he has taken IN the East
and the position which he will maintain in the
West"
So said the editor just after having had CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Pool
Mr.. Gorrell, the Opposition Senator from Gull
ford made speech in the last Legislature in which
he made use of the following language:
There is also large amount of FURNITURE,
plate, carriages and buggieS, WAGONS, CARIS,
and FARMING TOOLS anu IMPLEMENTS, MER-
CHANDIZE, bank stock, money at interest, &c,
&c, all going to make up the aggregate wealth OF
the State, but which would enter into the taxable
property of the State under the dd ralorem system
OF taxation"
Mr. Gorrell is a warm supporter of Mr.. Pool.
In the proceedings of the convention which nom-
mated Mr. Pool the same are reported In the ha-
leigh Register, we find the following:
THURSDAY, Feb. %, 1860
Mr.. turner, oil orange, lnONeu W Uihe the WIZ v"
ad ralOrem offering an amendment against taxing
such small matters as tin cups, plates, &c.
Mr.. Badger proposed change in his amendment,
which was accepted The Amendment of Mr.. Tur-
ner then adopted
Mr.. Henry, of BERTHE then moved reconsidera-
ton of the amendment entering his protest against
it.
Mr.. Barringer, of Cabarrus, seconded Mr. Henry
Mr. Rayner hoped Mr.. Turner would withdraw 1t.
The motion to reconsider prevailed.
Not being otthdrann, the amendment 1ras reject
ed
The question then recurring on the passage of
the I'D UdLOrem resolution it passed almost unanl-
mouSly.
These extracts, all from high opposition authority,
show what is meant by discrimination in favor OF
industrial pursuits. 1t means heavy taxes on goods
brought into the State for sale for the benefit oil
capitalists investing in factories. 1t does not mean
exemption of stock, farming implements or the like
small matters" and household truck. VII

The defeat of Lincoln is with us, the first great
object of this campaign. This defeat is not to be
effected BY widening with two tickets, the already
disrupted Democratic party. Nor does there exist
any power which can now unite the two wings of
The party under common leader. elimination
and recriminatiOn between the two wings of the
Democratic party is only so many aids and appli-
anceS to the cause of Lincoln. If there be any De-
mocrats that prefer the election Of Lincoln over
Douglas, We are not of that number.
We advocate Mr.. Breckinridge'S election because
the platform, while not broad and uncquvocal
would have made it, yet approaches nearer
views Of protection than do the known opinions Of
Mr.. Douglas and the platform upon which he stands.
With us the defeat Of Lincoln rises far above all
other questions of me and platforms. To accom-
pSh this defeat, since the party cannot he united,
it should agree to disagree, and accomplish the de-
feat of Lincoln by permitting the majority to con-
troll the minority. In the Northern States where
Douglas has the majority, would propose that
Douglas electoral tickets only be run, provided in
every Southern State only Breckenridge tickets
run. Such policy will defeat Lincoln; it will
place the electoral college in the hands of Democrat
ic electors
Unless some such policy be adopted, Mr.. Lin
coin must be elected, for a division of the Demo
cracy gives every Northern State to the Republicans
There is not Northern State in which division
of the Democratic party will not be falkland
while the Democracy is madlv quarreling over men,
the Republican party will have won the prize and
entered upon their reckless and destructive course
We desire but one ticket in Virginia, and os there
is questioning the fact that Mr.. Breckenridge has
very large majority, that ticket should be for
Breckenridge. But we ask not for Virginia any
compromise that we are unwilling to advocate for
the North, and hence we are decidedly in favor of
only one electoral ticket in the Northern States
