AZ Unless moderate men at the South, who
have no designs against the Union, speak out and
endeavor to arrest the current of sectonalism and
disunion, the consequences at no distant day must
be disastrous. The Northern Democracy is unit
against Congressional intervention the subject of
slavery. We think the South is bound in honor
not to demand it To insist on making It part of
the party creed would be to surrender the govern
ment to the black Republicans. That would result
in commissions, in bloodshed, and in dissolution
Of the Union. Are we prepared for that? Are we
prepared for it because we cannot obtain our con-
struction of the Cincinnati platform? We warn
gentlemen that if they are the people will not sus
tain them in their course. If our Northern Demo
cratic friends were, the other hand to insist on
their construction of the platform, as we insist on
ours and we're to force their construction of it on
us by resolution of the Baltimore Convention, our
duty would be plain,-we could not submit to that
But they say, as the South said when the Kansas
Nebraska act was passed. let the Courts decide
Slavery will go where the climate and soil call for
it no matter what Congress may do or fail to do
1t already exists in New Mexico, and is protected
but not by Congress; and no Northern Democrat
would vote or has voted in Congress to prevent New
Mexico from extending this protection.

The Democracy Of Granville held meeting re-
Gently and nominated @. H. K Taylor, ESQ.,, for the
Senate, and Messrs. 7. L. Hargrove, j. NJ Bullock,
and W. H. P. Jenkins for the Commons. This is
an excellent ticket and we so spoke Of it at the time
it was announced
But 1t appears that in the nominating Convention
or meeting, 7. Brown Venable, whose Democracy
has been very doubtful for the last six or seven
years, proposed a certain test Of Democracy to the
candidates, which test was rejected by large ma
jority. One of the candidates, Mr.. Hargrove &C.
cepted the nomination without abiding to this test
and for this he is taken to task and denounced by
the Warrenton NeDs We now assert that T. L.
Hargrove is as sound a Democrat as there is in
North-Carolina He is loyal to organization and to
the time-honored principles of his party, and will do
all he can to secure the election Of the ticket in
Granville and the election of Gov. Ellis. And we
furthermore declare that If the course of the War
renton Neps is adopted throughout the State of de-
nouncrg those ad calorem Democrats who are faith
fully observing party organization, Mr.. Hargrove
is doing, it will result in serious injury to the party
and may cause its defeat If we were citizen of
Granville we would vote the whole ticket regarding
all the candidates as good Democrats, and knowing
no difference between them on account of State is
sues or State affairs
We call the attention Of the party to the fact that
the Warrenton fe'cs is the first paper in the State
within our knowledge, claiming to be Democratic,
which has denounced a regularly nominated candi-
date of the party. We have been in harness, work
ing for the cause for seventeen years and we repeat
the Ners is the first paper claiming to be Demo-
cratic, which has opposed and endeavored to defeat
a Democratic nominee
We trust the Democrats of Granville will rise in
their strength and elect their whole ticket, and at
the same time increase their vote for Gov Ellis.

The Salisbury Banner-Mr. BIedsoe.

The Banner of the 9th contains an article which
in one or two particulars requires some notice at
our hands.
The Banner speaks of Mr.. Bledsoe as shaving
thrust his name before the Democratic Convention
in Wake for a denomination" 1t is not our pur-
pose to defend Mr. Bledsoe but to set ourself right
If Mr.. Bedsoes name was "thrust" before the
Convention, we were instrumental in doing it, for
we nominated him for reelection. But our cotem-
porary of the Banner IS mistaken We had no au-
thorty from Mr. Bledsoe to nominate him, but we
did it of our own accord. We felt sure he would
be defeated, and that by large majority; but still
we thought proper, with all respect and Difference
for the Convention, to nominate him. We have the
best reasons for believing-and we may freely say
So because this relates to Mr.. Bledsoe before the
Convention and before he resisted the organization
of the party-that he took TO steps to procure
the nomination, and that but few, if any of his
friends exerted themselves to procure it for him.
We profess to be loyal Democrat and to be gov
erned by sense Of respect for Conventions and for
organization and we should, therefore, regret to
have it understood that we had thrust" any thing
or any name before our party friends, in a rude and
persistent manner, to the detriment Of the name
used or to the cause ITSELF
We certainly thought and had reason to believe,
when we nominated Mr.. Bledsoe, that he would
abide the action of the Convention. Had we thought
otherwise we would not have nominated or voted
for him. We deeply regret his course, and shall do
all can in fair and honorable way to defeat him.
In nominating him, as we distinctly stated at the
time, we had no objection to George W. Thompson.
On the contrary. we regard Mr.. Thompson as sound
Democrat and an able and faithful public servant
We shall support him and vote for him with pleas
ure; and we trust every Democrat in the County Of
Wake will do the same

THE FRANKLINTON SCHOOLS.

The examination Of the students of these schools
commenced Monday, the 4th Of June, and closed
Thursday the 7th. The examination was rigid,
and the promptness of the students in answering
questions and working problems showed that they
were thorough in all the branches which they had
studied and gave general satisfaction to all that
present There was defamation by the boys on
Wednesday night and the gratifying manner in
which they acquitted themselves did equal honor to
the students and teachers On Thursday the fol-
lowing young men delivered original speeches:
Charles Cook, Of Franklin county-Moral Cow

William H. Nicholson, of Franklin county-The
dead live and speak.
E. G. Conyers of Franklin county-Importance
of Mental Culture.
Sylvanus Gill, of Franklin county-Science of the

Jos. P. Davis, of Granville county-Union is

These speeches were all delivered in chaste and
eloquent style, and some of them would not have
been screditabe to the best orators of the State
They ELECTED the admiration of all present and
ceived quite merited compliment from an intelli-
gent gentleman who was present He said he had
visited nearly all the colleges and high schools in
the State, and the speeches of the young men were
not surpassed by any he had ever heard.
The Rev. Mr.. Tucker, Of Raleigh, delivered the
address, which was q complete literary treat His
subject was "Man and his Education" For me to
attempt to portray the discourse the speaker would
do him gross injustice. | learn that the Trustees

We have heretofore stated and shown that no
Southern State that taxes slaves according to value
at the same time taxes all other property, as pro-
posed by the Opposition platform This is true Of
Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and
Florida All these States discriminate in their tax
bills, and then exempt a large amount Of property
entirely from taxation. But the Opposition plat
form would tar ererythiny and that too at the same
rate. 1t is not necessary that we should here spe
city the articles. "Their name is legion" The
taxpayer can run them over in his mind, and make
list Of them, If he chooses for his own satisfaction
but let him bear in mind in doing so that Mr.. Know
Nothing John Pool insists that he shall include
ererything.
Eoerything must be tared, says Mr.. Pool Let
see how that would operate: Mr. Pool estimates
the entire property in the State to Be worth seven
hundred millions of dollars. We think the estimate
too high, but we will take it as he has made it.
Ten cents on the hundred dollars worth of this
amount or one-tenth of one per cent would raise
seven hundred thousand dollars. There are three
hundred thousand slaves in this State, worth, at
5000 each, one hundred and eighty millions of dol
lars. Ten cents on the hundred dollars worth Of
this amount would be one hundred and eighty thou
sand dollars. The lands are worth, say one hun
dred and fifty millions of dollars; they would pay,
at the same rate, one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
Amount Of taxes to be raised, 100000
Amount paid on lands and slaves $4,000
$4,000
Leaving $370,OO0 to be raised to make up the
100000. How would this be supplied? Why,
the remaining $37O, 900 must necessarily, must in
er'tably be raised from new subjects Of taxation.
1t cannot be raised by specific taxes for the Oppo
sition platform proposes to tax all property" and
. "erery species" of property according to value.
No part of it can be raised from lands and slaves,
for the Opposition platform proposes the same tax
on everything-the old subjects must not be taxed
higher than the new ones Let Mr.. Pool and his
partizans meet these facts, if they They can
not do it and stand on their platform.
