Messrs. EDITORS Il clip the above paragraph from
the Boston Courier of February 29th In view of the
constantly increasing steam facilities afforded by
neighbors North and South of US, should not, in
justice to ourselves lose any time in securing the Steam
ship line between this port and New York Norfolk
has already three Steamers running regularly to New
York. and the mentioned above to Boston, with the
prospect of consort should the trade prove
ing, which it doubtless will Charleston has, Or will
have two fine Steamers between that port and Bos
ton, in addition to the New York line.
TO retain and increase business it is indispensable
that offer equal facilities-we cannot compete sue
cesstully without-when we take into view the large
amount of freight received through Norfolk for our
State, it is not matter of surprise that Steamers pay
well, and their number increases.

Ne We hardly think it is right for opponents to
misrepresent our platform The Raleigh Register says
that our platform proposes to tax equally all interests
and classes OF property ETC. The platform proposes
to adjust taxation to bear equally as practicable
within the limits of the Constitution upon the various
interests and classes of property in all sections of the
State We do not think that any unbending uniform
rate would bear equally. AS in adjusting nationa
tariff upon imports, in levying State taxes, some
classes of property will bear easily rate which could
not be borne by other classes

St. Pafrick'S Day.

To-day is the anniversary of the death of ST. Patrick
the utelary saint of Ireland The date and even the
place Of bis birth is disputed ALI that appears certain
is that be died during the last half OF the fifth century
say between 455 and 493. Some say he was born in
Scotland others place his nativity in France and some
still farther South in one of the great European PENN
suas of Spain or Italy. However all this may be- it is
conceded that he was a pious and devoted missionary
and succeeded by his zeal and energy in introducing
Christianity into Ireland long before the conversion Of
England to that faith.
Stripping the history of this really great and good
man of all the romantic incidents with which the zeal
of an imaginative people has surrounded it, we
readily imagine that the of his preachings illus
trated his doctrines by the purity and sanctty
of his own fe must have appeared little less than mi
raculous.
If the Irish people had celebrated other ami
Versaries, commemorative of worse deeds
it would have been well for them. The memory of the
devoted messenger of peace, allied it is with the his
tory of christianity is something much more worthy OF
respect than that of the battle of the Boyne where Irish
blood flowed freely both sdea in maintenance of the
quarrel of English james or Dutch William strangers and
tyrants both who had stronger interest in OF
Ireland than that expressed by William in his defective
English when he assured them that be came for their
goods-for all their goods and he took nearly all they
had Patrimonies which had escaped the graspng hands
of the Henries of Elizabeth and of Cromwell fell into the
clutches Of William and his adventures, and Ireland

Now, here we see four Eastern counties possessing
one-third more land-more area-than corresponding
number Of Western countless having about the same or
rather larger representative population The idea Of
this socaed protection for land being sectional COM
promise for the benefit of the West, is simply absurd
Ia this matter the West could not be oppressed with
out the East being much more largely oppressed The
figures in regard to population however show why an
other sort Of compromise, a sectional compromise
does exist and is insisted upon.

yThe Fayetteville Observer in its issue of the 18th
instant while anmadvertng upon the resolutions of the
Democratic State Convention avowing the opposition of
said Convention to disturbing any of the sectional COM
promises Of the Constitution quotes at length from
speech delivered in 1854, by Hon. w. A. Graham, one
main object being to create the impression that the land
cd qualification for voters for members of the Senate
done away with by the known as free suffrage
in the nature of sectional compromise for the ben
eft of the West the existing constitutional restriction
regards the mode of taxation upon negroes was for
the benefit of the East
There might be something in this if the facts of the
afforded any foundation upon which it could stand
There might be foundation for the assertion did il
appear that the West contained the largest landed in
erest either in assessed value but the reverse
the Landed property could not be oprressively
taxed without such oppressive taxation falling upon the
East and the idea of The Senatorial voter qualification
being sectional compromise, is the face of it, op
posed to the facts and reason of the case.

and four Western counties including among the lat
