heartily tender him q cheerful and

The Opposition Candidates.

The Opposition Convention which assembled in
Baltimore last week nominated for President, John
Bell of Tennessee, and for Vice President Edward
Everett of Massachusetts, Mr.. Bell was nominated
on the second ballot On the first ballot the vote
was, Bell 6e!, Houston 81, Everett 25, Crittenden
%, Mclean %, Graham %, the Immortal Bolts !"
81, with some few scattering North Carolina voted
for Graham.
The Convention, despairing in advance of their
ability to agree on platform, planted themselves
on the federal Constitution. Each member of the
Convention of course reserved to himself the right
to interpret the Constitution as he pleases The
Convention could not even agree on resolution
approving the present fugitive-slave law.
Mr.. Bell is native of Tennessee, and in his Gath
year. He was formerly Democrat, but deserted
Gen. jackson in 1888, and was a White man in
1886 He approved of the "Compromse" on
slavery in 1850 but refused to carry out this Com
promise" in 1854 by voting for the Kansas-Nebraska
bill He violently opposed the repeal of the Mis-
souri, restriction. 1t was this that commended him
to the Massachusetts, and other Freesoilers, who
voted for him in Convention He differed radically
with Mr. Badger on the Kansas-Nebraska act This
difference gave rise to spicy debate between these
gentlemen, which we will publish hereafter.
Mr.. Everett is in his Goth year. He is much
better known to the masses of the people than Mr.
Bell and we believe the great body of his own party
would have preferred him for President to Mr.. Bell
This is by no means a strong ticket That this
is the opinion of the Oppositionists here and else
where we entertain no doubt They will raise a
great shout over this Baltimore movement but it
will not deceive or mislead the first Democrat Of
AID by themselves they can do nothing.

of which he resigned the chair to Mr.. Willie j.

sN" It is great mistake to suppose that the
Democratic party Of the Union is broken up. The
Charleston Convention deliberately adjourned to
Baltimore, where it will meet on the 18th of June,
to nominate candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent. That Convention will be harmonious. Mark
the prediction. We know that many of the Opposi-
tonists of this State would be delighted if the
tional Democratic party would divide and cease to
exist; but their delight over such a result would
not exceed that of the black Republicans No. gen.
temen, the national Democratic party WiU lice on.
1t possesses vitality which failure to act will
not seriously affect much less destroy.

Mr. Pool and ths srandar,d.. :

Weunderstand Mr.. Pool is in the habit of reading
from an anonymous little pamphlet to show that we,
among other Democrats have approved the principle
of ad UdlOrem taxation. Now, this little pamphlet
was gotten up in this City, rithout name or in-
print in the hope, no doubt, that it would be re-
garded by some as Democratic document and
would thus, containing it does garbled extracts
from the writings of Democrats inure Gov. Ellis.
We come forward at once to spike this gun
The article from the Standard in this little PAM
phet, which Mr. Pool is in the habit of reading,
published in February, 1859. 1t endorses the prin-
ciple of dd rGlorem taxation as held by Democrats,
and applied both in the State and federal govern
ments and which Mr.. Pool and his party have so
persistently opposed 1t does not endorse Mr.. Pools
plan of taxing eUey thing does it call either for
a Convention or for change in the Constitution of
the State. The resolutions offered by Mr.. Fari-
bault in relation to which the article copied into
this little pamphlet was written, may be found on
the 263d page of the Commons journal; the most
cursory examination of these resolutions will fully
sustain us in what we have here said ID.
No. Mr.. Pool, we have our own opinions on ad
ualOrem but it is sufficient for you to know that
are not in favor of your plan. When you address
the people again do the justice TO state this fact
will you? Also, that you have carefully examined
the files of the Standard, and have been unable to
find any Editorial in that paper calling either for
Contention or for change of the Constitution.

sY The Washington Constitution speaks of the
"wretched attempt of some of the 'trumpeters'
from Charleston to sigmatize the Southern delega-
tons by the charge of aiming at dissolution of the
Unlon" and adds that "such a charge will scarcely
impose on the most credulous reader" The Con-
stt"tiOn in its eagerness to justify secessonists and
disunioniStS, has concentrations for the States
that remained in Convention and thus preserved the
party from utter DISCRIMINATION That the leaders
of those who seeded at Charleston are dsunionsts
there can be no doubt Acts speak louder than
words. Mr.. Yancey thought the time had come for
preciptating the cotton States into revolution"
and he acted accordingly. He went off taking some
fifty Electoral votes with him. He left the Convcn-
ton and endeavored to organize a sectional party,
because the national Democracy had refused to take
ground in favor of Congressional slave code for the
Territories and not because of any refusal on the
part of the Democracy to stand on the Cincinnati
platform and the decisions of the Supreme Court.
The seceders with Mr.. Yancey at their head, adopt
cd their platform the second report of the MAORI
ty of the committee of the Convention on resolu-
nearly up to their demands that for the present they
appear to be satisfied with it.
The Constitution will soon see what the Demo-
Gratis of the Southern States think of Mr.. Yancey
and his followers. Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, has
already spoken out against the seceders and in favor
of Democratic unity. His voice is potent not only
in Georgia, but in all the Southern States The fol-
lowing extract from letter to the Columbus ga
Times dated Charleston, May 1st will show what
the seceders calculated en- accomplishing:
douglas will probably be nominated to-day, and
Vice President from the South on the ticket with
him, probably Mr.. Fitzpatrick, Of Ala The South
will be united against such ticket, and preferrng
defeat to i'll gotten victory, will nominate Southern
man with Southern platform. Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis, of Mississippi, and Gen. Lane, of Oregon are
spoken Of. The movement will hardly prove a fail
ure The fire kindles throughout the Southern
States, and the watch-word a United South" ex-
cites enthusiasm among the masses. Oregon, Cali
fornia, majority of Pennsylvania, and portion of
Massachusetts were anxious for the South to have
her platform, and exhibited great desire to pour
oil upon the troubled waters. There will now be
four tickets in the Presidential race-Douglas in the
West Davis in the South Houston with the mon
grels, and Seward in the North"
The purpose, it seems, was to defeat Mr. Douglas.
Every thing was to be sacrificed to that That the
Constitution is in this secession movement and
party to it, think most probable. 1t appears to
hate Mr. Douglas worse than it does the black Re-
publicans. 1t would secede, disorganize, or do any
with the Constitution in such course as this, nor
do we believe the Democracy Of the country will
sympathize with OF sustain it.

Remember that John W. Ellis compares the West

and the East to goose that permits the West to
take all the eggs she lays.-Register.
Remember that John W. Ellis does such thing.
He referred to Know Nothing politicians in the
West and elsewhere, who were in favor of taxing
erery thing and whose cry to the people, and espe-
cally to those of the East who pay the most taxes
is "giVe, give" The Register must be a great
goose" to suppose that the people will believe such
statements as he is making twice a week under his
Editorial head in relation to Gov. Ellis.

Praetica, Intervention.


In the House of Representatives, on Thursday
last, Mr.. Bingham, from the Judiciary Committee,
reported back, with an amendment, bill to disap-
prove and declare null and void all Territorial acts
and parts Of acts heretofore passed by the Legsla
ture Of New Mexico which establish, protect or le-
galze slavery in that Territory. The bill was soon
after put upon its passage and passed, yeas 97 nays
80. Messrs. Branch, Leach, Rufin, Vance, and
Winslow voted against it Mcssrs. Smith, Gilmer,
and Craige were absent but would also have voted
against it had they been present. The black Re
publcans voted for it in body, and the Democrats
of the North and South with the Southern Know
Nothings voted against it
This is practical intervention. The black Repub-
icans hold that Congress has exclusive jurisdiction
over slavery in the Territories and that that body
prohibit slavery in the Territories or, when
Territorial Legislatures as in the case of New Mex.
ico pass laws to foster and protect the institution
Congress can repeal those laws On the other hand
the Democrats hold the doctrine of confederation
If Territorial Legislature fails to protect slavery
they see no remedy for this failure except
through the Courts if Territorial Legislature pro-
tects slavery they will not interfere to repeal the
laws affording this protection. This is the position
occupied on this subject by Judge Douglas. Every
friend of his in the House voted with the South
against the proposition to annul the laws Of New
Mexico fostering and protecting slavery.

Gov Ellis has not claimed the right to stop free
men" "from mailing matter Of any kind without
his consent" but he does claim the right to protect
himself from insiduous attacks and to find out who
his enemies are He does not wish to stop the cir
culation of the address of the WorkingmeEs Asso-
ciation provided the printing and mailing are done
by an open enemy, such the Register is known to
be. What he complained of was, that he had learn
ed that certain persons, supposed to be his friends
had circulated these documents lfhis information
were true land he believed it to he undena6le) he
had right to complain; not against the right Of
freemen but of the action Of supposed friends
This he did-Raleigh Dem. Press Nay II.
We have no disposition to engage in a controver.
sy with the Democratic Press, but we cannot per-
nit reflections upon the Standard office to pass
noticed. When John w. Ellis was nominated for
Governor two years ago, over the Editor of this
Journal the latter among the first to spring to
his support That support given freely, active
ly without reference to the past and from patriotic
motives. We are now supporting the Governor for
reelection for second term; and we can truly say
that we have never wronged him in thought word,
or deed The Standard Office has been, and will be
true to him the Democratic nominee. The ''prin
ting referred to was executed at the Standard Of
fec in October last when no one supposed that dd
raIoreGa would be made test in State affairs. 1t
was executed for an Association which professcd to
have no connection with politics. 1t is known that
we have job office in which printing Of all kinds
is done provided it be not anti Democratic seditous,
or reasonable. So much for the printing" As
to the mailing" the Standard Office has mailed
nothing designed calculated to injure Gov Ellis.
Thousands of his speeches before the late Democrat
ic State Convention, and thousands of the Address
of the State Committee have been mailed from the
Standard Office; but we have learned, on inquiry,
that no copy of the Workingmens Address has
been mailed from the Standard office since the sth
of March, the time at which Gov. Ellis was nominal
ted for reelection.
Gov Ellis complains, as it is natural he should
do that he has been followed up in his campaign
by copies of the Workngmen's Address. No one
in the Standard office has thus followed him up
Gan enemy hath dene this thing" If the fact could
be ascertained it would no doubt turn out that GER
tain of the Know Nothings of this City, having OBJ
tanned copies of the Address, have sent them out a
