THE FORSYTH NEErING.-A friend who was pres
cnt at the county meeting, held in the court house.
on Wednesday last informs us that the meeting was
very large and enthusiastic every portion Of the
county being we'll represented. The official pro-
ceedings will be found in another column.
We are truly gratifed to be able to announce
to readers that Messrs. R. L. Patterson and
Thos j. Wilson, were selected candidates to rep
resent this county in the State Convention, should
a convention be determined upon by n majority of
the votes of the people. Two gentlemen more emf
nently qualified by their intelligence and patriot
ism, to do our county credit, and give it its just
weight of influence in the convention, could not
have been selected
The meeting was without distinction of PARTY
and the candidates selected were taken from both
the old parties, hope there will not as there
tainy ought not to be- any hesitation in giving both
these gentlemen a cordial and hearty support That
they represent truly the strong Union sentiment Of
the county, was manifested by the unanimity and
enthusiasm with which their nomination was greet
cd by the large number of citizens who attended the
meeting
Both gentlemen, in accepting the nomination,
took the patriotic position that they will never ad
wise consent to the severance of our State from
the Union, so long as there is any hope Of maintain
ing her constitutional rights in it. They were in
favor of exhausting every reasonable means to pre-
serve the Union They expressed themselves in
favor of demanding of the North recognition of
rights, and sufficient guarantees for the future
At the close of the meeting, Hon. A. II. Shepherd
made few well-timed and patriotic remarks, warn
ing the people against the sensation reports in
newspaper dispatches, cotton up to excite the peo-
pie He said the present deplorabe state of affairs
was brought about by the Vaccinations of the ex-
IRENE men of the South aided by the extreme men
of the North &C.
Time and space admonishes US to hasten on to a
close
Should there be any opposition the to election of
Messrs. Wilson and Patterson it can only arise
from those who DO not approve of their unqualified
opposition to secession and revolution under exist
ing circumstances. We know that these candidates
represent the sentiments of nnetenths of the peo-
pie of the county; yet we also know that there arc
a few men in the county, strongly imbued with dis
unionism. These persons may be easily recognized
by the fact that their appeals are always made to
the passions and sectional prcjudiceS of men, and
not to their reason and the noble feelings of their
hearts; for they well know that it is only through
their excited passions that men can be induced to
join in the unholy work of destroying the Govern.
ment which has long extended us its foster
ing care. If these persons fail to support the can
ddates nominated on Wednesday last, whatever
other reasons may be assigned, the true reason is,
because these gentlemen are determined to exert
themselves TO preserre and not destroy the Union

REMARKS OF MIR. RUSS,
OF WAKE.

Delivered in the House Of Commons Feb. 7, 1861.
On an amendment of the gentleman from Ashe,
Mr.. Crumper to tax State bonds hereafter to be is
sued, Mr.. Russ made the following remarks
Mr. Speaker approve most heartily of the
amendment from the gentleman from Ashe shall
not attempt to discuss the legal question involved
in this controversy, but will say that the State
bonds hereafter to be taken by the citizens of North
Carolina legitimate subjects of taxation. The
citizens Of this State owning State bonds ought to
be put upon terms Of equality with citizens Of the
State owning bonds of equal amounts OF diff
ferent character. do not say, nor do believe that
have the right to tax non-resldents, nor do be-
eve it is prudent and wise to tax the bonds of the
State offered in market for the tax would have to
out of the bonds and thereby lessen their value
to that amount but do say that the citizens of
North Carolina ought TO be taxed equally, in pro-
portion to their ability to pay The present revenue
law is unequal and unjust, and the tendency, if not
the intent is to make the rich richer, and the poor
poorer. IL his fortune consists in State bonds, then,
under the present law he does not pay cent in
to the treasury of North Carolina, though he owns
one hundred thousand dollars; but his poor neigh
Dor, who has accumulated one or two hundred dol
lars and lends it to his neighbors and friends, has
to pay upon every dime he has. Is this right? Is
it just? Is it that equality which should exist be-
tween freemen in North Carolina? To make the
stronger sir if own fifty thousand dollars in
state BONDS, don't pay one cent oil taxes upon 1t
but if my less fortunate neghbor has but one hun.
dred dollars, he is taxed upon every dollar Of it
Sir, equality and justice demand that we be taxed,
and taxed in proportion to our ability to pay.
Mr. Speaker men Of wealth will always make in
vestments where they can save their money from
taxation. | know, sir, instances during the last
year where individuals went to work in the shortest
and most expeditions way to collect all the money
loaned to their neghboIs for the purpose of invest
inn fha in TAFT tn avOiH Tho tnx
money at interest.
Mr. Speaker, do hope the amendment will pass,
that the furthens of State will bear more equally
upon all classes Of our people

BRAGGART WRITING.
AS the truth is developed the secessionists
in Washington become radiant with Joy, and
cannst conceal their exultation wherever ii is
safe to indulge it. Their ears are erect for the
sound of the cannon which is to herald the en-
trance of the enemy into the capital of the
United States. The Unionists, on the other
hand, speak Of the past hopes of the enemy, of
the great reinforcements arriving, of the re-
newed efforts of the North, and of its determi-
nation to put down the rebellion. There must
be an infatuation which amounts to a kind Of
national insanity in portion of the North, or
is it possible that they believe what the jour
mails tell them-that they are the strongest
bravest, richest, mightiest people in the world,
and that they have only to will it, and the
world-including the Confederate States-is
prostrate before them? The exaggerations and
misstatements of part of the American press
would certainly lead those who believe it to
such conclusion.
