Vance spread himself on the 19th at Wadesboro, and the destruc live were supposed to be liappv. The Governor was heavy on the Republ cans in his usual stvle. i. e.. lots of smutty iokes and no arguments. Bnt jokes will tell, and if a bad cause Jean ever be boosted into .notoriety by wch means, Vance i certainly?, tho man to do the boosting.. The Aryusiaja ha appealed to the people in a timet touch ing manner to go to the polls and vote for MEN ! (no women allowed there All he could say about the present Con stitution was. that "that instrument although it had some excellent things in it was nnsuited to us," and all eke that could be added was that ''the Gover nor made a genuine Vance speech," but the Anjui "would not attempt to give even the substance thereof." The Governor was honest enough to say that the present Constitution "had some excellent things in it," and the only objection that he could raise against it was that it was "unsnited to us." But the Arym failul to tell its read ers that not only were the hearers of Vance sadly demoralized and unsettled in their minds on this Convention .ques tion, but that he himself could not get his enthusiasm worked up worth cent, and when he left the Court House in which he had been speaking, that be admitted that the cause of the conven tion is ts. was a 'lost cause, and expressed the opinion that the democrats would fail to carry their point Vance said in this Wajdcsboro speech that the Homestead I GOOD AH AUAINST OLD men of North Carolina1 this representative man of your State says about your homestead.

The Albermarle AVMr is becoming alarmed at the ghost raised at its own bidding. Some time ago it advanced the aristocratic theory that money should control thetltstiuics of this State rather than brains, and wanted to insert a provision in the Constitution that they desire to adopt in September to the effect that every legal voter be allowed one rote, and for every three hundred dollars, that a man might own or claim he should be entitled to one additional vote. v 3?ow we all know that none but the aristocrats and their cli-pie advocate a PERFECTLY FRANTIC.

Of course, if Boston Gushers and their southern Democratic friends have full control of the matter, these ques tions may be answered in the negative But ieasmuch as the blacks fought side oy aide with the whites in the war against Great Britain, and as they earned their title to citizenship by ngnungtne same way for the preserva tion of the Union in tbe late civil war. there seems to be m sufficient reason why they should, not be recognized at the UentejiniaL celebration of the na tion's nativity.

To connect together tin? ieoplc of the ttate in one common bond of in terest, it is only necessary that they should iiosscss the same kind j of prop crtr, and that taxes should ibc direct and uniform. Indirect taxe4 are sel dom representatives of the wealth of the community where they arc collect ed. The ahxount of public revenue col lected in the city ol .cr TorK is no sure test off the wealth of that city And many! of : our taxes arc indirect and furnUh no index -of the wealth of the country in which Ibcy are paid. It is Mile, the, to say you must give mere political weight to the rich than the poor the owner of thon.inds than the owner of hundred. A thousand owner of any particular species of prop erty will afford it much more rfTevtual protection than ome owner of the same aatoant and spcck-, under any form of government that ifouU bf tolerated for a moment ii a free country."'

The impropriety of this state of things will readily occur to atl, Many other complaints exist against the present Constitution. Many other improvements could be poiuted out, more consistent with the progress of tho age. The science of government is progressive as every other science. The ieople improve; their means of knowledge increase ; their circumstan ces change; their relations towards one another, and towards citizens of their sister States alter. Our sister States everywhere around us are taking advantage of this age of improvement to improve their forms of government, adopted when the rights of her people were comparatively little known. Ia our Constitution alone $0 receive no improvement from tbe spirit that i abroad f Is North Carolina alone to be still Is the alone lo continue hound in those shackles which have kept her limbs so long fettered in the band of ateel Or shall she ariae. like a atrong man in his miht, and Jtm-ufl that bc shall be free?
