REMEMBER.

Let the people remember that Mr. John Pool,
the opposition candidate for Governor, while in
the Legislature, not only voted against Mr. Bled-
soe's ad valorem BILL but also against Mr. Bedsoe's
resolutions which declared that system of ad val
orem taxation was right; and that now when he
thinks it can be used as a cap-trap to catch votes
he Is for i
Let it also be remembered that Mr Pools own
friends (the Editor of the Greensboro Patriot and
Mr. Gorrel of Guilford) say that ad valorem will
subject all kinds of property to taxation, such as
cattle, hogs, horses, Turning implements, aeogons,
carts, furniture, dc.
l. Let the people remember, not to be deceived
into the support of ad valorem by the cry of eqna1
tacdtion;" for they are as widely different as the
poles apart. A uniform per centage on the
whole value of property would be comparatively
light and easy on one class of property holders,
while it would be burdensome and oppressive upon
another class.
Let the people remember that Gov Fills, I'M
like Mr. Pool has always opposed, and still opposes
any system of taxation which places the uni
form per centage upon accessories that it does upon
lururics that ad vaorem will do this, is as GER
tain as that darkness follows the going down of
the SUM-
Let the people remember, that Mr. Pool, while
stumpng his section for seat in the Senate, made
virtue of his opposition to works of internal i'm
prOvements running Vest that he voted against
them in the Senate of North Carolina that he
beat his competitor upon that point alone.
Let the people remember, that Gov. Ellis has
always been, and is now, in favor Of finishing the
works already begun, and of developing the re-
sources Of the State as the means of her citizens
will permit.
Let the people remember, that Mr. Pool, in the
East, took the ground that horses, cows, sheep
hogs, &c, would be taxed, knowing that the west
ern people were Stock -raisers and thinking it
would please the East to have them taxed.
Let the people remember, that the effect of Mr.
Pools argument for putting heavier tax on slaves
is to array the non-slaveholding majority against
the slaveholding minority, and clearly operates in
the direction Of driving slave labor from the State
Let the people remember, that Gov. Ellis is in
favor of so adjusting the Revenue system as to
bear equally possible upon all classes of tax
payers and that he has proven himself the friend
of all sections and of all classes.
Let the people remember these things, and we
have no fears of the result.

Hon WM. i IANCEY.-The attempt on the
part of the oppositionists and by some of those
who still cling to Mr. Douglas, to make it appear
that the Hon. W. i. Yancey, of Ala, was the con-
trolling spirit in the Convention that nominated
Breckenridge and Lane, is not only unfair, but is
not justified by the facts and circumstances. Mr.
Yancey did not take active part in the
Convention previous to the nomination of the can
didates, merely making suggestion as to the
number Of votes to which the different delegations
were entitled We cannot see that it would have
been any great sin if Mr. Yancey had taken a more
active part, for he in part represented sovereign
State aud had right to be heard. But it is non
sense to undertake to make it appear that the
States Rights Convention, i'll which were many Of
the ablest men in tie Union, was influenced and
controlled by Mr. Iancey. 1t is true (and we are
glad of it, the action of the Convention met Mr.
Yancey's appreciation, and previous to the adjourn
ment he made an excellent, conservative speech,
to which we listened with pleasure and edfcation.
After hearing that speech we felt convinced tina.
we have heretofore misunderstood Mr. 1ancey's
position, and in instances done him njustice.
In that speech Nh Yancey reviewed his past course,
and declared that although some time ago he did
favor the secession of Alabama from the Union, he
was not now disunionist in any sense OF the word
he now saw no cause for dissolution, and was
opposed to any movement having such tendency.
He believed that the action Of the Breckenridge
and Lane Convention would save the Union and
build upa great national party which would main
tain the rights of all the States and therefore he
declared his intention to give the nominees cor
dial support. Suppose Mr. 1ancey were now
disunionist, ii could not fairly be considered as
anything against Breckenridge and Lane or those
who nominated them. Some of those who are now
denouncing Yancey have taken as strong ground
for dissolution as he ever did, and prove it
when necessary.
The members of the convention which nomi-
mated Breckenridge and Lane did not go to MIR
Yanccy but Mr. Yancey came to them Neither
can the Breckenridge and Lane convention be cal
led the Seceders Convention, for the body known
as the scceders convention met in Richmond two
DAYS after the Breckenridge and Lane convention
adjourned and there ratified its nominees Fur
Their, the Baltimore Convention which nominated
breckenridge and Lane, was the true National con-
venton-it was presided over by Mr. Gushing who
was the President Of the original Convention at
Charleston-and it was national because it did not
act as if there but one man in the whole Union
entitled to the nomination.

WHY IS IT Our opposition contemporaries in
North Carolina, some time past, denounced in I'M
measured terms the doctrine of Mr. Douglas in re-
gard to Territorial sovereignty, and pronounced it
worse than the Wimot Proviso. Now, why is it
that those same opposition papers have no good
word for the members Of the n. G. delegation who
have resisted the nomination of Mr. Douglas and
the endorsement of his views? Probably it is be-
cause they are democrats.

News FROM TIE WEST.-We have the most
cheering news from the mountains From various
correspondents we learn that Gov. Ellis vote will
be fully as large as it Was two years ago. Gov.
Ellis is sustaining himself handsomely, and ex-
posing the humbuggcry of Mr. Pool and his plat
form to the satisfaction of every body, except the
old northumberland oppositionists. From all
quarters We have good accounts, but we hope no
thing of the Kind will cause democrats to relax
their efforts in behalf of Gov. Ellis-if we would
win We must work, and not trust to past strength
for success this time The opposition flooding
the western counties with pamphlets and papers
containing all sorts of false charges against Gov
Ellis and the democratic party, and we cal! upon
every democrat to see that these things are eX-
posed before the day of election. Let every man
who does not want to pay tax on his horses, cat
tie, farming implements, furniture, &c. condeuIn
John Pool and his ad vaorcm scheme, and vote
