Hon. NATHANIEL BoYDEN made a most
telling speech against the Infamous Con-
stitution, at Taylorsville, last week,-it
being the week of Alexander Superior
Court
FoRsYTHE.-The Editor of the Old North
State, the Hon. Lewis Hanes, writes:
Given in Radical Forsythe we learn
that there is a tremendous shaking
among the dry bones" That honest man
and pure patriot, Thomas J. Wilson, who
was anxious to support the Constitution if
it were bearable, and who had reserved his
opinion of it until he could have al oppor-
tunity to study it closely, declared in a
speech at Winston, on Wednesday, that
after such study he found it intolera6le, and
was forced to go against it. This course of
Mr.. Wilson's will cause hundreds in For
sythe to vote against its ratification who
were at first disposed to support it."
CONSERVATIVE MEETING. the
Court adjourned to give the candidates an
opportunity to address the people. By in
vitation, Hon. J. Fl. Wilson (who is not
candidate) opened the discussion. His
speech was able and convincing. During
the delivery, Captain W. r. Myers, late of
the 2. A. G. S. A., interrupted him by
asking if the constitution did not fix limit
to taxation on property. AS it was respect
fully asked, Mr.. w. answered with an
overwhelming argument-so much SO that
every white Radical present was satisfied
that the Conservatives ere right. There is
no limit in the new constitution to tax on
property-and as they are levied by an ire
sponsibJe body, and disbursed by men who
do not have to give bond for faithful &C.
counting for the same the entire property
of the State is at stake. Mr.. Wilson's
speech was powerful, and did good.
Judge Osborne next appeared, and made
the best and happiest speech we ever heard
from him. We can say no more. It would
be idle to attempS summary of his speech.
r. d. Whitley was next called out, and
acquitted himself with great credit. Then
came Col. Osborne, who spoke with marked
effect
The Court House was crowded during
the whole meeting, and we can safely say
the people of this county are fully aroused,
and the whites will vote almost as a unit.

The SPEAKING AT KINsToN.-Our noble
Congressional standard-bearer, Col. Kenan,
surpassed himself to-day in the good old
town of Kinston, and from what we can
learn thoroughly impressed the minds of
the people that it was their duty to vote
down the Infamous Constitution lately
framed at Raleigh. The speech convinced
many that have heretofore been lukewarm,
that the trainers were as odious to the peo-
pie of North Carolina as the Constitution
itself.
Mr.. Justice followed Col. Kenan, and his
remarks were happily received by large
and attentive audience.
We understand that Jno. F. Wooten,
Esq, gave his opponent, the HON. (?) D.
D. Colgrove, terrible rasping.

miles to register ! May Heaven bless the

Newly, as Canvassers, are doing their full
duty in Perquimans.
Winston caught the Infamous John r.
French in BERTHE. Under Winstons s
scathing reply, French attempted to slip
out of the Court House, and Winston called
to the colered men to "rope him AND
BRING HIM BACK J"
