As FOR GOVKKNOU, II OA. JOIIA W. ELLIS. Tiik Cnvass. We publish an account of the debate between Gov. Ellis and Mr Pool at Eliza beth City. It is ot an unfair and one-tided re port like that of the first discussion published by tbe Murfreesboro Southron, and copied by all the opposition papers. The Southron did not report . Gov. Ellis correctly, and we have good authority fur saving that the report of the Murfreesboro Citizen (a democratic paper) is inaccurate. Our advices from the Eastern part of the State jrive cheering accounts of the success of Governor Ellin in that section. A letter from a friend at Plymouth states that every democrat he has seen or heard of is enthusiastic for Ellis, while many of the opposition party will give him their support this time. Avpois tmf.sts Gov. Eliis and 3Jr Pool will address the " people at the following times and places: SmiihneM, Johnston. Wednesday, April 25th. C.Msltoro. Wuyiie. Thursday, 2ith. Kniaii-vilk'.

Ellis made his fir.-t appointments to ad dress the people without consulting Mr Pool. The reason Gov. Ellis announced his appointments at the time he did was in consequence of informa tion received at Raleigh that Mr Pool had already commenced the canvass. The correctness of this information has been denied by the opposition press, but it turns out that the report originated with Mr Pool himself, who, in a letter to Dr Emmons, stat ed that he (Pool) would open the canvass on the 20th of March. Even if this had not been the case, there was no good cause for complaint, as Gov. Ellis went to Mr Pool's own section to begin the canvass. - fcjjf Those in search of recreation and pleasure this Summer, will find the "X. C- White Sulphur Springs," in Catawba county, an agreeable place to visit. We have heretofore stated that Col. Rob ards, of Salisbury, had purchased these Springs, and we now direct attention to his advertisement in another column. We know something about the Springs, and we know the high reputation the proprietor sustains as a landlord, and we do not hesitate to assure the public (North Carolinians especially) that they will find a trip to that water ing place not only pleasant, but beneficial to the invalid. Give the Sorth Carolina Springs a trial one time anyhow, and then if you are not satisfied go back to the "fashionable parvenu society" abroad Davidson Coi.lkoe. At a meeting of Concord Presbytery, held at Steel Creek Church in this county w-"ek before last, the following persons were elected Trustees of Davidson College : Rev D A Peni.-k, Sr. Rev J D Hall, Rev G 1) Parks, Rev S C Pharr, Rev H S Krider. Maj 1) II Hill, Judge Osborne. W S Harris, end Ir C L Hunter. We sec it stated that the Rev. A. W. Miller, formerly of this place, will deliver the Sermon be fore the graduating class of the College at next Commencement. Concord Female Coixeoe. The following were elected Trustees of this Institution: Rev's R II Ifterty. E F Rockwell, B S Krider, Col T A Allison and V C Rarringer, Esq. 8th District. The opposition Convention for the Sth District was held in Ashevillc on the 11th inst. A. S. Merrimon and W. M. Shipp were ap pointed delegates to the Baltimore Convention. No Elector was appointed that is to be done by a committee hereafter. A resolution was passed in favor of extending, by State aid, the Western Ex tension Railroad through the counties of Ilavwood, Jackson, Macon and Cherokee towards Chattanoo ga, with a brunch down the French Broad. In view of the large amount of money required from the State Treasury for this purpose, of course our opposition friends in the mountains resolved that slave property'ought to be taxed according to value. They seem to be after the negro particularly, a ery useful thing when railroads are to be built. KxT" It is rumored about town, and the rumor is entitled to some credence, that ihc lion. Kenneth Rayner positively declines to endorse the humbujr of valorem, and will probably take the stump against it in a few days. It is also rumored that he has written to Mr Donnell. the alternate to the Baltimore i opposition) Convention, informing him that he cannot serve as a delegate to that Conven tion, but that he expects to support the nominee of the Charleston Convention for the Presidency. We cannot vouch for the truth of these rumors, but we think there is little doubt of their correct ness lial. ;,h Pres. Mr Pool and our opposition friends must, indeed, be in a bad way when such men as Rayner refuse to support them. The democratic party can tri umph without Mr Rayners aid, but if he chooses to vote right this time, in obedience to his judg ment, no one "can object. Common Schools. At a meeting of the Board of Superintendents of Common Schools for Meck lenburg county, last week, J. p R0SS) was re-elected Chairman. This is a good appointment as no man in the State takes more interest in the success of the common school system than Mr Ross. surrender the right to press naturalized American citizens into her service when they return on a visit to their native land. Our Secretary of State, Gen. Cass, lays down the doctrine that a natural- Mr Gorrell introduced an amendment in favor of j ized citizen visiting Germany, must be allowed to calling an open Convention for the purpose of j remain without hindrance and to depart in peace. amending the Constitution, and made a speech ad evidence that the charge is true, we rerer to a speech made in the last Legislature by the opposi tion Senator from Guilford, Ralph Gorrell, Esq. vocating it, in which, after showing the amount of horses, mules, sheep, swine, milch cows, oxen and other cattle that would be taxed by the ad valorem system, he says : "There is also a large amount of FURNITURE, plate, carriages and buggies, WAGONS, CARTS and FARMING TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS, MERCHANDIZE, bank stock, money at interest, &c ,&c, all going to make up the aggregate wealth of the State, the value of which I have no means of ascertaining, BUT WHICH WOULD ENTER INTO THE TAXABLE PROPERTY OF THE STATE UNDER THE AD VALOREM SYS TEM OF TAXATION." Remember, friends, this is what Mr Gorrell, a supporter of John Pool, says. He says that furni ture, wagons, carts, farming tools, and stork, icould enter into the taxable property of the State under tkf ad valorem aistem of taxation. Democrats say the same thing, and are therefore opposed to the scheme of the opposition party. Is any further proof necessary to sustain the charge? If so, we point to the following from a leading opposition paper, the Greensboro Patriot of last week. I hc editor of the Patriot had just had a consultation with Mr Pool at Raleigh, and on his return home, in an article explaining ad valorem, he concludes as follows : ''Above, we have stated what we understand to be the position of the West on ad valorem that is, that EVERY SPECIES OF PROPERTY is to be TAXED according to its value, not only land and negroes, but HORSES, COWS, SHEEP, and HOGS, leaving it with the Legislature in framing a revenue law, to ''discriminate only in favor of the native products of the State and the industrial pursuits of the citizens." This is precisely the position of Mr Pool, the position which he has taken in the East, and the position which he will maintain in the West. With Mr Pool, ad valorem is priciselv the same thing in the East as it is in the West." This is the proof, and whenever opposition ora tors and newspapers assert that democrats lie about the matter, we want them to remember that we have the authority of Mr Gorrell and the Greens boro Patriot. Practice auainst Profession. When Mr John Pool was a member of the Senate of North Carolina, he voted against the system he is now advocating he voted against the ad valorem prin ciple he voted against calling a Convention of the people to amend the Constitution. Then, he was not the opposition candidate for Governor then, he acted on his own good judgment of what was right, uninfluenced by Gubernatorial visions. Now he favors what he then opposed now his better judgment is warped by his hatred of the democratic party and his very anxious desire to be Governor. We cannot believe that it is possible for him and his party to deceive the people in that way. Gov. Ellis has been true to all sections of the State he has acted consistently with his pro fessions he is a Western man, and the charge that he is or has been untrue to the interests of the West is without the least foundation in fact. We resort to no abuse of Mr Pool we do not misrepresent him he can and will be defeated without anything of that kind. The people can and do understand the deceptive game the opposi tion party is now playing, and they will re-elect John W. Ellis. Mark that. Locusts.

The writer is a native of North Carolina and served in her public councils for a number of years. Though not written for publication, we take the liberty of publishing an extract as it speaks in regard to a question now at issue between the two parties in this State: ;'From your paper I learn there is an animated contest in regard to ;i proposed amendment of your Mate Constitution touching the existing provision upon taxation. When the late amendments were adopted, I was, and had been for several years, a member of the Senate of the General Assembly, and a portion of the time its presiding officer. When I was first elected a member of that body (and if I recollect rightly for some time previously thereto) the question of amending the Constitution had been annually introduced, and urged by the West with much zeal and ability, but had been uniformly rejected by the unanimous vote of the East the West and south-Wcst voting for it. At the commencement of the session at which it was agreed to call a Convention, Mr Richmond M. Pearson, then a member of the House of Commons, called on me. at my room and asked if any bill could be introduced into the Assembly which could have my approval. I then candidly stated to him the objections the East had to the amendments, and remarked if they were removed, a bill intro duced with certain amendments, which I would then suggest, should have ni' support ; these, at his request, I reduced to writing and gave them to him. A bill was introduced, incorporating the suggestions, and it received the sanction of both branches of the General Assembly. I remember distinctly that I insisted upon securing slave property ayainst exorbitant taxation, and with this understanding the Convention was called. This, sir, is a concise private history of that memorable question which had for many years produced a division in the General Assembly be tween the East and the West, and which had en gendered bitter, sectional animosities, and prevent ed at the same time much useful and valuable legislation on other matters." From the above and from other sources the fact is established that the present provision in our State Constitution, in regard to the tax on slaves, was agreed upon in a compromising spirit between the East and the West, and ought not now to be violated by either party. One of the largest printing presses in the world is used in New York for printing ''Webster's Spel ling Book." It is said that more than one million Copies of this book are sold annually. JCST Gov. Ellis has been condemned for appoint ing Democrats to Judicial Office. What is Mr Pool sicom to do? To appoint know-nothings to office in preference to any one else ! Geo. Wash ington himself could not get an office from John Pool. Fay. Courier. Yes, and Mr Pool boasts of being a member of the order. He talks about being a "good Ameri can" as well as whig. Let it be remembered that he is a know-nothing, and if he were elected Gov ernor would be bound by his oaths. These oaths have been published, and the public can judge of their evil nature. We have no means of knowing the secret workings of the Order, but the confes sions of those who were deceived and induced to join it by false representations, afford sufficient proof to convince every one that a third degree member like Mr Pool, is not a proper person to be Governor of North Carolina. A Paper Currency. It has been heretofore stated that a bill has been introduced into Congress to establish a paper currency (like bank notes) of uniform value throughout the United States. The bill provides that the Sub-Treasurer, or Treasurer of the U. S. Mint and its branches, shall receive deposits of gold or gold and silver bullion and give depositors certificates therefor in sums of from 20 to 1,000. These certificates could be used any where as money. Congress. In the Senate, Mr Johnson, of Tcnn., offered a substitute for the Homestead Bill passed by the House. A resolution appropriating 50,000 to defray the expenses of the Japanese Ambassadors, soon to arrive in this country, has been passed. A resolution appropriating 848,000 to defray the expenses of investigating committees, was passed by the House of Representatives. The Black Re publicans get up investigating committees to make c pital on false charges against the democratic par ty, and the government treasury is made to foot the bill ! In order to irritate southern members, a black republican introduced a resolution to educate the negroes of the District of Columbia at the expense of the U. S. treasury. Mr Schwartz offered a resolution, which was read for the information of the House, instructing the committee on public expenditures to report a bill reducing the compensation of members of Congress to eight dollars per diem for each da' of actual service; and providing also that when both houses, by joint resolution, adjourn to attend a political convention, the members voting therefor shall not receive pay during the recess. Mr Sherman objected to the resolution. 842,800 of the money stolen from the Marine Bank of Columbus, Ga., has been found secreted under a bridge in that city. It is stated that a book-keeper in the bank has been arrested, charged with the robbery. On the 16th, Adams' Express was robbed of 810,000 near the New Haven, Conn., depot. The Company immediately refunded the amount to the owneis. m m The Lemon Slave Case. This somewhat notorious case has been finally decided agaiust the claimants by the highest judicial authorities in the State of New York. As nearly as we can recollect, it is a case involving the right of a slave-holder to retain his slave while in transitu from one slave State to another, in the event of the most conven ient route carrying him through any portion of a non-slaveholding State. A Mr Lemon of Virginia was going out to Tex as to settle, and was taking certain of his servants along with him. In order to take shipping for the point on the Texas coast to which he 3esired to go by that mode of conveyance, he found it necessary to go to New York. This he did, taking his servants with him. While attempting to pur sue his journey by putting himself and servants on board a vessel bound to Galveston or some oth er Texan port, the negroes were taken from him. Hence this suit for damages in which the State of Virginia appears a plaintiff and the State of New York as defendant. The decision is in favor of the defence. Any Southern man who allows his servant to even look at the waters of New York Bay, must hereafter make up his mind to have him taken away without any redress or hope of re dress, even although he had no intention of bring ing such servant within the limits of the State of New York none at least of keeping him there or permitting him to remain longer than the necessi ties of his journey might render imperative. Steam Mill Burned. We regret very much to record the burning, on Wednesday last, of Mr George Sinclair's steam saw, grist and flour mills, situated six miles East of this place. Tbe fire was wholly accidental. It occurred near mid-day, and the wind blowing very hatd, the flames spread with such rapidity that little of value could be got out of the building. The loss is a serious one to the proprietor, variously estimated at from five to eight thousand dollars. It may also in one sense be looked upon as a public calamity, this mill hav ing been a source of accommodation and conven ience to a large number of patrons. Lancaster Ledjer. figf- Thursday last was the day for the opening of the Spring Fashions in New York. The fashionable ware-rooms, stores and shops were well filled with the ton although the day wasinclement. There was a great display of bonnets for the present Spring and Summer. These are larger than the Ladies have been accustomed to for some time past. The New York Herald says :- "The little shell shaped fabrics that hung on the head rather than sat on it, that were the objects of so much ridicule and abuse, have disappeared, and in their stead we have loose crowns,' flaring fronts, a more comfortable shape and newer style. - It is a style, however, which requires taste in arrangement and skill in manipulation to render it becoming." New York, April 17. The office of the City Collector was broken open and robbed last night of 3,000 in currency, and 817,000 in checks and Treasury wan-ants. No clue has yet been dicov ered as to the perpetrator. THE CONVENTION. Charleston, April 21. Editors of Democrat: On my way here through Charlotte, I promised to send you a line occasion ally, though. I have not now any definite informa tion to give in regard to the Democratic National Convention. . The delegates are all here and any amount of spectators. Go where you may, you will see a crowd discussing the claims of different gentlemen to the nomination. The friends of Dickinson, Hunter, Douglass and Lane are numerous and anxious, but I can perceive no bad feeling existing between them. It is confidently believed that either of these gentlemen could be triumphantly elected, and, as a southern man, I would be willing to trust either. But it seems quite uncertain who will be the lucky man. For the Charlotte Democrat. DEMOCBATIC MEETING IN ANSON. The democrats of Anson held a meeting in Wadesboro on Saturday the 14th inst. On motion, Thos. J. Lockhart was called to thehair, and R. T. Bennet and W. II. Kirby appointed Secretaries The object of the meeting was stated to be the appointment of delegates from Anson to confer with the democracy of Union county, in relation to the selection of a candidate to represent the Se natorial district in the upper house of the next General Assembly. On motion of Dr. W. L. Ledbetter, the follow ing resolutions were read and adopted without a dissenting vote : Resolved, That we approve the action of our late State Convention, and will give to its nominee, Gov. I'-llis, our clieertul support Resolved, That tbe course of our present Representa tive in Congress Hon. Burton Craige, meets our hearty commendation. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting appoint two delegates Irom each Captain s District, to meet the democracy of Union at Meadow Branch on the 12th day of May, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for this senatorial District, and that all democrats who can conveniently atteud, be requested to do so, and take seats as delegates. The following gentlemen were appointed dele gates : Wadesboro II B Hammond, W W Wilkins, RTBen nett. Sandy Point Dr Thos C Hall, Juo Knotts. Smith's W II Kirby, W C Watkius. Morven T R Bennett, J J Dobbs. Gulledge W L Tilman, Wm Little. Dumas' Shop Wm White, H T Knotts. White's Store Jno D Moore, Col J White. Lanesboro Robt Garner, J R Duncan. Diamond Hill Dr W W Harlee, B K Ponds. Burnsville Z D Clark, F A Clark. Cedar Hill F U Carpenter, G A Smith. Beverly's Thos J Lockhart, W L Ledbetter. The sub-elector for Anson being present, was called upon and entertained the meeting with a few practical remarks upon the subject of ad valorem, exposing the deleterious effects of its practical operation. W. L. Ledbetter next appeared, and showed, from the confessions of the opposition, the total want of equality and the great fallacy of the wonder-working system proposed by the enemies of the democratic party. W. W. W ilkins also ad dressed the meeting in his usual vigorous and con vincing style, and called upon all men who took to heart the interest of their country to rally to the support of the democracy. Dr. Harlee exposed" the policy of the opposition from the time when know nothingism first left its abolition bed in the North to the present. He alluded to the many noble fights, on principles, between the old whig party and the democratic party, and showed that the de mocracy was opposed now by factions only. Much enthusiasm prevailed in the meeting, and all the speakers were frequently applauded. On motion, the Secretaries were directed to fur nish a copy of the proceedings to the Charlotte Democrat for publication, and request the Standard to copy. Thanks were tendered to the Chairman and Secretaries, and the meeting adjourned. THOS. J. LOCKHART, Ch'n K. i . Bennett, W. U. Kirby Secretaries. LATER PHOM EUROPE. The Steamship Arago, from Southampton, with dates to the 3d inst., has arrived. She brings news of a revolutionary movement in Spain. General Oratago, with three thousand men, has proclaimed Don Carlos King. Warrants had been issued against Sayersand Heenan, prizefight ers, to keep the peace for a year, and it is stated they were arrested and thus prevented from fight ing. A conference of the great European powers is probable. Cotton dull, with little enquiry and prices weak sales of three days reached 15,000 bales, in some cases all qualities slightly declined. LATER. The Steamship North America arrived on the 20th with Liverpool dates to the 4th inst. The Spanish rebellion has been crushed out by the fidelity of the Queen's troops. Forcible steps are being taken to suppress the abuse in the Cuba Coolie trade, by the allied squadrons in the Chinese waters. Cotton is reported a3 having declined mostly in lower grades. Wheat Crop. The Rome (Ga.) Courier sa)'s farmers from every sectioi of Floyd county represent that not more than half a crop will be made this year. Some of the largest farmers will make no wheat at all; in fact, have ploughed up the fields in which it was sowed, and prepared them for cotton, corn and oats. Painfully Sudden Death. The Milton (N. C.) Chronicle, says: It has never fallen to our lot to record a death so sudden, so unexpected, and so appalling, as the death of George A. Smith, Esq., of this town, who departed this life without a groan while sitting jn a chair in the counting-room of his store, perusing a letter, last Saturday evening about half past eight o'clock. Up to the very minute of death, he was, we may say, the very picture of health. A Question for Lawyers. A nice question in law is about to grow out of the finding of thirty thousand dollars of the money stolen from the Mar ine Bank Agency, at Columbus. It seems that a negro in crossing a small ditch, over which planks were laid, saw the end of a newspaper projecting from under them. His curiosity was excited, and pulling the paper out, he discovered more iaoney than his mind conceived the world contained. Honest Sambo brought the matter to light, and now the reward is claimed by both his hirer and owner, and the bank will pay neither until the question is decided. Who shall have it? We The law will doubtless say somebody probably the hirer. Savannah Re- say sambo else, most publican. "Half of that, if you please." When Young Hodge first came up to town, his father told him it would be polite, when being helped at dinner, to say to the host, "Half of that, if you please." It so happened that at tbe first dinner to which he was invited, a suckling pig was one of the dishes. The host, pointing with his knife to the young porker, asked, "Well, Mr. Hodsre, will you have this, our favorite dish, or haunch of mut ton?" Upon which, recollecting his lesson, he re- plied, "Half of that, if you please," to the con sternation of all present. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. At a meeting of the Democrats of the Charlotte beat, held at the Town Hall on Saturday, at 8 o'clock, P.
