f. G.. HAYWOOD, EsQ-On Friday last Edw'd
Graham Haywood, one of the democratic Electors
for the State at large being on a business visit to
Charlotte was solicited by his party friends to make
a speech which he did at s o'clock to a large and
respectable audience. He spoke mainly on the
ad valorcm question: and discussed it in all is vari-
Gus phases, proving that the scheme proposed by
the opposition party was wrong, unfair, impoitic,
and dangerous We say he proved this, and he
went further and showed by the written declara-
rations of prominent members of the opposition
party VIM 4. Graham among the number, that
they themselves were pledged by word and deed
to stand by our State Contribution it is and OBJ
serve in good faith its compromises He rehearsed
the history of the Constitution and pointed out how
unjust it would be to increase the tax on kind of
property that bears its fair and equal proper
tion of the burthcns of government
We do not attempt to give synopsis of the
terly effort of Mr. Haywood-we could rot do him
justice. The speech was a calm, dispasSionate ar
gument against the plans of the opposition, dev-
cred in gentlcmanly and dignifcd manner and
must have been convincing to all present that the
action of the late opposition Convention at Raleigh
was quite improper and founded in bad policy.
Every one present Excepting some few of our
opposition friends not open to convction) were de-
lighted, and some, whom we know hesitated before,
went off convinced of the improrriety of disturb
ing the Constitution. Mr. II. did himself much
credit and showed that he was an able defender
of the principles of the democratic party

Of equal taxation" The words "equal taxation"
have been brought into use by the opposition press

BARGAIN AND INTRIGUE.-Opposition papers
are renewing the upon Mr. Buchanan about
the "bargain and intrigue" affair of Henry Clay.
This reminds US that the Hon. Geo. Z Badger, of
North Carolina, as bitter an accuser Of Mr. Clay
as any man in the country, and we think some of
the wrath of Clay's friends might be properly be-
slowed upon him. Mr. Buchanan has long since
cleared himself of the charge of acting unfairly to-
wards Mr. Clay. Not so with Mr. Badger, the pre-
sent opposition State Elector. In 1928, in an ad-
dress to his constituents, Mr. Badger said:
''Let the friends of Mr. Clay protest against the
conclusion with whatever of earnestness they can
press into the service, and the common of
mankind cW still .tiad an his conduct the grounds
Of suspicion'
Now, we respectfully suggest that before any
is spirited at Mr. Buchanan by Mr.
Clays admirers, they settle the matter with their
present leader, Mr. Badger. That would be fair.

THE TARIFF.-The old whg doctrine Of high
tariff is still cherished, it seems by the Black Re-
publicans in Congress. The New y ork correspon-
dent of the Richmond Enquirer speaks of the
tariff bill now before Congress as follows:
The new tariff reported by the Committee of Ways
and Means, in the House of Representatives at Wash

which he traced with very great accuracy and force the
causes which produced the evils under which the coun
try is now laborug and the remedy for them. He
said he was grated be able to state that there we're
but few dsunionsts in Louisiana and these were more
intent on the offices which southern confederacy would
create than upon the reform of abuses Col. Hodge
gave cheering account of the prospects in his State,
and was satisfied that many honest democrats IN the

these eminent statesmen and Lincoln and Hamlin-
The club passed unanimous vote of thanks to Col
