FOR the StanOaru.
FEILoweCIrzENs address myself to you upon
the great political topics that in agitation in our
State. We, as the Democratic party should look
we'll for whom we cast our votes We should cast
them for man who stands firm to the great Demo-
cratic principles 1 earnestly urge the Democratic
party to march up to the polls in August next and
go for Ellis, whom we have tried as Governor, and
who has carried out the great principle Of Democra-
cy so manly and so boldly and who is opposed to
taxing every species of property and thus try to
defeat the lately converted John Pool to the great
scheme of an nd c1lorem tax system.
Before his conversion he was an enemy to this
scheme, his antecedents prove to demonstration
His conversion was in manner similar TO that oil
Soul of Tarsus who went with letters of authority
to Damascus About the time Of the Opposition
Convention Pool light as bright as the sun
beams at midday, which was accompanied by voice
saying Pool! POOL why persecutest thou me-"
And he answed, "Who art thou?" And the voice
said, ~ am the Ad ualorem tax system, whom thou
didst prosecute at the last Legislature" And he
said, "What wilt thou have Inc to do?' And the
voice said go to one Badger and one Graham,
and it will there be told thee what to do And he
rose up and went and they said to him, Take
this platform of Id rdlOrem and for Convention
to alter the Constitution"
Nv brother Democrats, this platform contains
one Democratic plank, which John Poo. dressed
against the grain at the last Legislature until got
very rough; and these men, Badger and Graham
by their cratiness and ingenuity, invented mighty
smoothing plane to smooth off this plank, and placed
it in the hands of John Pool and that plane is the
Id ralorem tax system humbug with his legs on
his back to try to defeat the Democratic party.
Brother Democrats let no such humbuggery as
that lead you to vote against Judge Ellis. Never,
never no. never but march up to the polls, one and
all, and give Ellis long push and big push, and
push his majority to twenty thousand over Pool,
the new convert. We in old Catawha intend to do
the work at the ballotbox. All is right up here
Ellis IS the man for us, and we will all 60 for him
up-to-the-hub. Huzza for Ellis!

DOUGLAS AND NoNINTERvENTIoN.
The last Goldsborough Tribune says

The last Goldsborough Tribune says:
"In the first place, it is we'll known that the
Democratic party have taken the ground of non
Intervention by Congress with the question of slave.
ry in the Territories. As one of the Southern and
States Right party, we have always thought this
the proper ground and have at times endeavorcd to
enforce the sentiment the best for the security of
the South and the safety of the Union. On this
basis the question Of slavery in the Territories was
left to the people thereof in conformity with the
principles of the Federal Constitution. By the
adoption Of this principle the Democratic party sue
ceeded without it there is likelihood they could
have done So and hope of success in the future.
We thought this as much as any Southern man
ought to ask; much he could expect in the
Union, and certainly will not Join in fdLse issues
to get out of it. Let all be done candidy and above
board We do not approve Of the effort to intro
ducc plank in the Democratic platform to which
conservative men cannot agree, and which can only
result in the disruption Of the Democratic party
and a dissolution of the Union. The integrity of
that party, its cohesion and success, can alone save
this Union"
The Charlotte Democrat says:
"Such men, therefore who belong to the Yancey
school, need no one TO read them out of the party.
The tree is known by its fruit. But Mr.. Douglas
stands upon different ground and far from read
ing him ont of the party, we have never read him
anywhere only where we have found him by his
own acts right upon the question of slavery and in
favor of Constitutional Union lie has done
much any man, and great deal more than the
most of our public men, to give the South equal
rights in the Territories He is in favor of strictly
executing the fugitive slave law, and of Furnishing
those who obstruct its execution, directly or ndi
rectIy. By his vote and the measure he advocated,
enough of slave territory has been added to the
Union to make five slave States as large as New
York. Then call him free-soiler! 1t is migrate
full and unjust. Others may do as they please, but
will never join in the clamor against a man who
is now and has been to all sections of the Union

ANOTHER FALSE CHARGE.-Another false charge
has been made against Gov. Ellis, viz: that he cleo
oneered in the lobby of the last Legislature against
the amendment to the Wilmington Charlotte and
Rutherford Railroad We suppose the amendment
Company State Bonds instead of endorsing the
Bonds of the Company by the State. By the char
ter the State required to endorse the bonds of
the company to the amount of $4,000 mile. But
inasmuch as State Bonds were more saleabe than
the Bonds of the Company endorsed by the State,
0hough both equally good it was proposed to
amend the charter so as to pay the States subscrp
ton in State Bonds. Now, we say that Gov. Ellis
was not opposed to this amendment and did not
electioneer against it. Gov. Morehead who was
chief cook at the nomination of Mr.. Pool for Gov
ernor, opposed the misunderstanding against it to
the last and trying to cripple it with amendments
But Gov. Ellis did not oppose it. The charge is
untrue, care not who makes it Charlotte Dem

ranks of the opposition, and that political parties al
ways stand ready to harbor runaways. Such, fear,
is the morality of the times Mr.. Bledsoe should
learn, in the language of Judge Douglas, that it
becomes the duty of every democrat-every man
who expects to remain Democrat to acquiesce in
the decision of the party, and to support its nomi-
nation when it shall be made" And I add, more
particularly should this be the where one call
ing himself Democrat, attends as delegate gen.
era Convention Of Democrats votes for its nominee
for Governor, then seeks to get himself nominated,
and failing in that announces himself as an indie
pendent candidate in opposition to the man who
beat him twenty to one before Democratic Con-
vention Such is the case of Mr.. Bledsoe-a case
surprising all others in political depravity-a hard
word, we admit though used poltically-that has
ever occurred in the good old, honest Democratic
State of North Carolina. 1t is to be hoped he may
receive such lesson as shall not be forgotten by
himself and others in all time to come.

LOOK AT IT, WESTERN MEN.-We hope every voter
in the West-every man who thinks the West ought
to receive part of the appropriations for internal
improvements-will read the letter of j. P. Jordan
ESQ.,, which shows that Mr.. Pool, the Opposition
candidate for Governor, is enemy to Western
interests at least opposed to the extension of the
Railroads west. We know Mr. Jordan personally,
and we know that his word good any mans
in the country is heightened, honorable gen.
teman. Mr.. Pool opposed Mr.. Jordan for the Leg
isature on the ground that he (Jordan) voted for
the Western Extension Railroad! Let every Yves

the political topics of the day. in which he favors
the principle Of nonntervention, and the Baltimore

of Georgia, recently chosen to that position by
10000 majority. Save Hon. Howell Cobb, IN the

This is pretty fair business but is likely to haye
very little preceptibe effect in discouragng the slave
trade. as the market price of negroes in Cuba will
advance in proportion the supplies are cut of,

A. Lincoln appears to be man after Joshua r.
Giddngss own hcart--vc and brutal abolitionist
as he is. That old fanatic has made a speech at
Obern warmly commencing Lincoln to the support
of the abolitionists of that neighborhood and has
also written letter to the nominee expressing his
pleasure at the nomination. The following is the
note:
DEAR LINCOLN: You're nominated. You will he
elected After your election thousands will crowd
around YOU claim ing reward for services rendered.
|, too have my claims upon you. have not work
ed for your nomination, for that of any other
man. | have labored for the establishment of prn-
ciples; and when men came to me asking my opn-
ion of you, only told them Lincoln is an honest
man." All ask Of you in return for my services
is, make my statement good throughout yOur admin
iStrdtiOn. Yours,
GIDDINGS.
Giddings also says that Lincoln in Congress, was
his bosom friend. Yes, and they voted together;
and the latter now comes before the country the
representative of the Giddings doctrines.
