He spoke sometime, after this manner. Assuming the expenses at 8150,000,000. fa mode pate estimate,) he found by calculation that Nortrj Carolina wiftild have about $6,000,000 to pay for her share. The Democratic policy opposes a high tariff, so that the sum must be raised in the Truly other mode, viz : by direct taxation. Now let us see what each one will have; to pay , to the 'government. Our tax fur State; purposes now mounts to about $80 000 in the aggregate. Take this sum, and the 80,06.000, and any one who has a knowledge of mi;!lipli ution and division, and "a smaller ing of the rule, of thee," can telbin a moment for each individual. State your sum thus : 80,000 : 1 : : C.000,000 : A Multiply the second and thirdjerms together, eays'the rule, and divide the product by the first, and the quotient will bo the fourth term or an swer, viz : 87o. So that he who now pays 1, would have to pay S75. lie who now pays 610 -would have to pay 750. And he who pavs 820; State tax, would have to pay 81500 as his , rrt , A r i snare oi mis Mexican war aeoi ; lnisisno " Thathe Constitution does not confer j exaggeration, but the plain, sober tn.ih, and hink of it.

FOR THE COMMONS, Col. JOHN F. McCORKLE, WILLIE BEAN, Esq. ; THE WHIG NOMINEES. From all parts of the country, we re ceive the most cheering news of the re ception of the nominees of the WhigCon vention for President and Vice President. Although many had their individual pre ferences, yet a sense of the necessity for decisive and energetic exertions being made to rid the country of bad Govern ment, have united the Whig party as one man. Never, since the foundation ofthe Government has the truth of that toast given by Henry A. Wise, Union of the Whigs for the sake of the Union" been more sensihly felt, than at this time. We wish not only to get clear of Polk and repair the injury done by him, but we most ardently desire to defeat the election of Cass, the avowed defender of all Mr. Polk's unconstitutional course on all oc casions. He (Cass) if elected, is pledged o pursue pretty much the same policy, and if he does, will embroil us in another expensive War. He is already pledged o go for more annexation, and the admis sion of millions of ignorant people to the rights and privileges now enjoyed by American citizens which is the more to be deprecated, to say nothing of its uncon stitutionality, on account of the unfitness of this people, different from us in lan guage and feeling to exercise the rights of freemen. These are some of the considerations which move the Whigs and all good citi zens at this time, to oppose with might and main the election of this Federalist and modern Locofoco.v In him the coun try will have Nothing calculated to pro mote peace and happiness, and a liberal enlightened policy, so necessary to deve- lope its loources and make it what it is capable of being made. But all the old exploded humbugs, which for years past, have been adopted by the Locofoco party, will still be adhered to. We would say to all who desire the Government to be administered Constitu tionally to range themselves under the ban People of North Carolina, distinguished as y ou are for your attachment to the jaws of the Slate, will you a! this juncture of affairs now follow in the wake oT these men wliose object is so purely selfish so destitute of any thing like sincerity and so much calculated to weaken our pre sent efficient system of laws ? We do not wish to be understood in these remarks, as being opposed to any alteration of the-Constttution if it is the will of the people, but to the manner and to the men who have sprung it upon us so unceremoniously for purely selfish and unprincipled motives. When the time arrives for action on this subject, we shall not be found in opposition to the public good. OCT3 We notice that the Democratic papers have taken occasion to inform the public, that Gen. Cass' father, Jonathan Cass, as also his grand-father, fought for their country, in the battle of Bunkers Hill. This is doubtless true : Gen. Cass father was a thorough going Whig, and so continued to the day of his death. In deed all his relations brothers, brothers in law. &c, we understand are Whigs, and the old gentleman, the General's fa ther, in speaking of his son Lewis poli tics, has been often heard to say, Lewis is a sad fellow.n With this view of his history he is enti tled to no credit on account of the Whig deeds of his father and we think the least said about it the better. ; THE YIIIGrX03;i: ' v .

Our opponents, conscious that ihey can say nothing to shake the confidence of the Ameri can people in Old Roujh and Ready, have opened their batteries on tbo Whig candidate for the Vice Presidency. He is, say thpy, an Abolitionist, a Wilmot ProvisionUt, and withal a horrible Whig. Pet. Int. Our opponents are really concerned about one thing only, as regards the Presidential elec tion ; and that is the defeat of Gen. Taylor and the success of Gen. Cass. We are prepared to. hear any number or any kind of charges against either Gen. Taylor or Mr. Fillmore. Who has forgotten their course towards Gen. Harrison, in 1840, and Mr. Clay in 1844 t To believe democratic representations these great and good publio servants were no belter than traitors, and deserved, not only public scorn, but the gallows. We know the world knows that in these instances they were as unjust as they were ungenerous and ungrateful ; and as the sun transcends in glory ihe feintest star that twinkles in the heavens, so shall the virtu, ous and noble fame of lhe:e oot-shine and out last the artificial glory of iheir idol Polk. Since I hen when did they learn to be ju?l ? All hough they were- most extravagant in their notps of praise immediately after the commencement of (ieneral Taylor's bright career in Mexiro, yet, just as soon as he is mentioned as a Whig can didate, they haubofT, and begin to oppose him by saying, icell he aint ichat he. is cracked vp to be is he From this, they go right ofT to hard abuse, and it verily seems that abuse is ihe vital air of those whose motto is, " to the KEN 'IT Intelligence tf the r.

The Vera pruz Arco Iris jof the 28th ultimo contains news from Yucatan to the 13lh of May, some days later than has heretofore been received. A letter of this date, from Merida, says : " The troops of the canton of. Izama have for the last few days equalled the. expectations of the people, ais they have defeated the insurgents with great slaugh ter. Three hundreed men of various corps stationed in Sutpech, and assisted also by 200 of the light troops, twice! on the 8th repelled the savages, who,! more than 4.000 in number, attempted to possess themselves I of the town. Here we see how easy Jt is to rout these hordes of barbarians, impelled only by their auda city and the slate of torpor into which we have falleri. Not content with this, be cause one victory is always ithe precursor Jof another, they sallied out on the 9 h to attack the insurgents in their own en ments. j f The troops of Motul haVe also inflict ed a great! defeat upon the Indians, of which we have no particulars for want of oflicial reports. But it is certain that' we have achieved another victory, on which we congratulate the public and ourselves." grape in upon the motley ranks ofLoco focoism as the old Hero did upon the Mex icans at the Battle of Buena Vista, and victory will perch upon our banners. Many of the opponents of Equal SutTrage aie in the habit of ayiug that any man who desires to vote for a Senator ean do so, because he can easily purchase a freehold. A pretty argument, truly ! Is a non freeholder invited to buy a right to vote ? Buy it of whom ? Why, of the land-holder ; but just let him buy it. mid then of course he can vote. The free white men of the State, who pay their taxes and per form military du'y, cannot afford to g. to this expense ; and they demand that the Constitu tion be so. amended as to place ihern on a level wilh the freeUold ers.
