TUE VIRGINIA CABPBT-BAGGER The carpet-bagger of ; the Star ji hoarse and needs a box 'mf Brown's Troches or something of the sort for the relief of his throat. He was screech ing against Convention for months,and Ded np innumerable ream of paper and untold barrels of printers insr ltf showing the people that Convention would ruin the State, and then Bopped over to the other side, and now uses Up other innumerable reams of paper and other untold quantities of ink in taking back what ho said last winter, and in playing little poodle to tha big bull dog of the Journal, in telling tha peo ple that the only chance of salvation in this world is in their Toting for Con vention men. . This carpet bagger, whose throat s so sore, takes a most wonderful interest in North Carolina politics, and it is most remarkable how nearly parallel his pathetic appeals are with the other pathetic appeals of the Journal man, and how soon the same' Democratic thunder ia heard rumbling from the KEEP CUOL, MAJOR ! Won't some cood Samaritan ruu for a cliuuK ol ice aim apply it to liie ncau and spinal column of the Journal It is evidently ovcr-hcalcd and needs im mediate attention, or it will break loose arnl hurt somebody. Now, just observe how it carries on. The Petersburg In ilex ami Appeal has been reading Mr. Charles XordholPs views iu the New York Jfcrald about North Carolina, and had the temerity to say : lie is nevertheless ol the opinion that the call fur a Convention which the Conservative Lccidaturc made, was a political error, in which opinion we cordially concur with this intelligent and disinterested outside observer. Whereupon the Journal wades iuto the impudent F. F. V..' and rive him 'rat$: The scoundrel That lie should daro to presume to open his mouth and say one word against the policy of the destructives in calling the Convention ! that he should go ''the full length of Hear the Journal: "But even admitting that the right to criticise the policy North Carolinians pursue in recard to XSorth Carolina affairs, is one of the rights of the Vir ;inia press that North Carolina Legisl atures aro bound to respect, we beg leavo to sujrirest to our esteemed con temporary that in this case, at least, the right is one that it were better should be reserved for airing at some other time. With all due respect for our esteemed Virgiuia contemporary's superior judgment in North Carolina aflairs. we bee leave to suggest that hue a Convention campaign is pena log, It is noiexacuy an opportune, urne to urge that it ought never to nave been betmn - unless, indeed, we arc hostile to Lhe Convention movemcui. kji course the Index and Apxal is not hostile to the Convention movement. Its utter ance is merely a mistake in judgment, proceediug from a want of lamuiaritv with the matter in hand that is if such a thine be possible when it is oue of the Virginia press that is discussing North Carolina affairs. When two-thirds of all the members f each House of a Democratic North Carolina Legislature call a Convention to amend the .Kadical erth Carolina Constitution, it doe seem to u., in all seriousness, that it is going to the full length of its tether for a irginia Dem ocratic newspaper to volunteer its opinion to the people of North Caroli .a .ft . as, on uieir very war u me pons, as it were, that the action of their Lgisla ture was altogether wrong. When men volunteer criUcism in the domestic affurs of their neiehbors. an apt time at least ought to be chosen far ue deucate and disagreeable task." Now we want to know vsy a ir ginian in lVterburg has not the same right to exprers an honest opinion about the policy of its party friends in North Carolina that a carpet bagger from Virjiois, as the Ar. man is, or a eirpct-bagjer from Mississippi, as the Jtmrnml man is, ha, although they may happen to live here The taBpvdeace f this Jmrml carpet-barr is refreah ln. lit says : "Ths tUthms that wc -land uraua' ts that Nerih Caroliaa ciUsests eght to Star carpet-lag pop gun after it has been let ofT From the heavy battery of the Journal carpet-bag. But the Slar talks so very prettily about "the rjroud State," Ac, thai we cannot refrain from giving a little, sam ple of its rhetoric, remarking tlat mom than one hundred thousand native North Carolinians feel that they know their needs quite as well, and will at tend to their own business without the impudent suggestions and interference of these Virginia and Mississippi carpet-baggers : "In this supreme moment can yon rest comfortably while the thought obtrudes itself My State's destiny, my own security and welfare, my neighbor's safety and prosperhy are to some extent under my control? Am I bestirring myself as a good citizen should in the hour of public peril? This is tho proud State that gave birth to Macon, Badger, Gaston, Bragg and Graham. This is the grand eld Yeoman Commonwealth, whose chil dren stand first in the Union's ranks for soberness, persistence, courage and pro bity. She has never dishonored ner- sclt. che is peerless in her matron s prime as she was in her maiden beau ty. She is true as when Nash vindica ted her fame in patriot core at Oer mantown. Her sons are as bright, as strong, as hardy, as pure, as brave, as illustrious as when her Pettigrew, her Ramseur and Branch foil in that later and fiercer contest for liberty. No stain on ner escutcheon, xso languor, we trust, in her limbs. No treachery, cer tainly, in her eye. Head nobly erect. Bosom bare to storm, save that her spotless shield protects her Amazonian front from the hurtlinc missiles of her ice?." "Such seems North Carolina to partia eyes. Shame! a triple shame ! it there is deceit in the picture." "Carolinians, to the front of the fight. vaveyour banner. Forward, true to your ingrained principles of justice and right."

MOORE COUNTY. The Republicans of Moore county have brought out as their candidate for tho Convention, Mr. W- M. Black, native of New Hanover and a brother of our esteemed ex-sheriff, A. R. Black, E. With such men in the Conven tion the interests of poor men will be safe. Are the voters of North Carolina pre' pared to surrender their right to vote for judges, solicitors and magistrates 1 Do they wish the General Assembly to appoint these officers? Are they wil ling to give up Free Suffrage? r If 't corrupt judge, or vindictive solicitor, or incompetent magistrate is saddled upon them, do they desire him to retain his office (or life; or would they like to hive a chance to rote for a better man to fill his place when his time expires ? These are important questions. The convention schemers wish to take all power from the people to choose their own rulers. I f they do not, why don't they say so?

In 1851 he was a member of the Legislature and introduced the following amendment to a "bill to ascertain the will of the people in relation to a call of a Con vention :" "And be it further enacted, (Three fifths of the Senate and House ot Com mons concurring) that the Constitution shairbe so amended as to provide here after for the election,of the Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, the Secretary of State, Treasurer and Comp troller by the qualified voters fortte Blouse of Commons of North Carolina.'' Axe the free people of .North Caro lina less capable now of electing their public servants than, in 1851 ? Does thjs chronic candidate "for Congres sional honors propose to go . back on thfe people at this lato day, by attempt ing tO deprive them of "the right to choose their public servants? He should be called to account. Matt W(hiskey) Hansom had u dry time and along faoe: He broke his bottle, and he wept bitterly. x - - Extracts from the Western Address On the 1st day of January, 1851, the Western members of Uie General Assem bly ef North Carolina, without dis tinction of party, issued an address to the people of the State, from which we make the following extracts : i V Your Bill of Rights says That all political power ia vested in and derived from the peojl only." Is power in the Senate of North Carolina derived from the "jteople only!" Let it not be said that taxation and representation go hand in hand. That principle has no application here. It is true that our ancestors fought the battles of the Revo lution upon the principle that they were not to be taxed by a body in which they were not represented. But who represented ? certainly the people those who paid the taxes not tho taxes themselves. Our ancestors never have more start ownert : and, of course greater number Of uvrsuus tur ea1 over any aggressions upon ,it..- The same is .true of ! land. .V e have more land owners, and owners of every other species of property - and fewer of that class of persons . who have nothing to enjoy, and nothing to protect pr defend, bnt 'their richts ofDexson.JLl Tb. connect together; the? people ...of uk paie vi vuc ycuimnvn (wuu v. .u tercpt, it is" ynly necessary that .they shoald possess the same kind of prop erty, -and that taxes -should be direct ami uniform:' 'Indirect tales are sel donl reprceentatives of tho wealth of tbe-coramunity where they are collect ed. I The amount of public revenue eol- lected in the erty ot New aork is no stije test of the wealth of that: city. And many of our taxes are--indirect, an) furnish no indea-of the- wealth of the; country' in which they are paid. ' 'II is idle, the1?, to say you must give more political weight to the . rich than the! poor the owner of thousands than the owner of hundreds. A thousand owners of anyparticular species ef prop erty will afford it much t wore efiectual protection thsn-cwic owner of the same amount and specie,, under any form of government that would be tolerated for a moment ia a free' country.'" ' , Many of our citizens are greatly op posed to the election of Judges by the Legislature, as is required by the Con stitution. It can,nol be disguised that our own Legislature has, in many; in stances, been tthe scene of intrigue en tirely at war with our kleas of the pu ntv of the bench: and in which it was shown that neither character, nor qual fications were made the test for fitness for office, but simply party services. Legislatures arc small bodies, usually electeil upon political party grounds and that, too, frequently at the saerihce 01 ,tnc Dest interests ot the people. ' tender tlie circumstances many be lieve that the people .would, be the saf est depositories ot this power, the op portunity and facility for corruption and intrigue wonhi not exist, and the people, in acting, would not beinflu eniced by the fear of denunciation or f)unishment of party men. The system las been tried in many (States of Uie Union, and found to operate so well that it is much to be doubted whether ft will not, in time, bo adopted in all. Others, too, think that they ought to hold office for a limited period. There is no 'other officer knowu to our laws, but who is limited to a short period, after which his power is laid down at the foot of those from whom he received it; and in determining whether they will again place him in power, they pass upon the manner in which bis duties havo been discharged. Many of these offices aro of the highest char acter and importance, and equally re quiring in the incumbent, purity and integrity of character. No evils have resulted from giving the election of these officers to the people and certain ly no corruption of the people, nor of the officer has been the consequence. And it certainly is not a question of nnich difficulty whether we should be cursed with a bad Judge during his life, if, in despite of all precautions, one should unfortunately be elected. In no other instance is such a curse iuflicled. Can any other be greater? Whole. One SenatoriatWDistnct is therefore necessarily almost wholly dis franchised.
