Graham Haywood, Esq., one of the Electors for the State at large, will address the people at the Court House this, Tuesday, evening at eight o'clock. Mr. Haywood is well informed on the topics he proposes to discuss, and his audience may expect an interesting and instructive speech. We trust the Democracy and the people generally will turn out and give him a hearing. Walter L. Steele, Ese. We are gratified to perceive from the proceedings of a recent Demo cratic meeting in Robeson, thai CoL Steele has been unanimously nominated by the Democracy of that county for re-election to the Senate. The Senatorial District of Richmond and Robeson never had an abler, a more faithful, or a more influential repre sentative in the General Assembly than Col. Steele. We trust he will accept the nomination, and be tri umphantly re-elected. The proceedings of the Robeson meeting shall appear in our next Mr Douglas Speech On the 15th and 16th in stant, (says the Charlotte Democrat,) Mr. Douglas made a great speech in the U. S. Senate in support of the doctrine of non-intervention by Congress in the Territories. The speech is a triumphant vindi cation of the principle that Congress ought not to interfere with slavery, bat leave the people of the States and Territories to establish or prohibit it as they may elect And he proves that the State Legis latures of Florida and Georgia, a State Convention of Georgia as well as of other Southern States, the Hon. Geo. E. Badger of North-Carolina, Henry Clay, and other distinguished jien North and South, have ad vocated and supported the same principle for which he (Douglas) is now contending. No man, unpre judiced by party feelings, can read the speech and then say that Stephen A. Douglas is an unsafe man for the South to trust. A pporsm E5TS.

The Approaching Election,' . i'- It is apparent that" the' opponents of the Demo cratic party are making a united and desperate .ef fort to carry the State in August next. Under these circumstances it will not do for the Democrats' to presume on their former strength.- If they would retain power they must be vigilant, industrious, en ergetic, united, they must work as they did in for mer campaigns. Thus far the Democrats have brought out their strongest men for the Legislature, and generally they have done so through Conventions as the best means for. combining the energies of tba .party, in favor of the candidates! These candidates will soon take the field. 1 We appeal to them while taking care of themselves, to take , care also of the general cause of Democracy in the State. We would re spectfully urge them to do every thing in their pow. er to promote harmony and concord to discounten ance disloyalty and prospective divisions with refer ence to the national Democratic cause, now more imperilled than at any former period to advocate no State issue in such a way as to drive voters from the party, but, on the contrary, to pursue such a course in this respect as will give both themselves and Gov. Ellis the advantage in the contest of every Democratic vote in the State. We cannot afford at this crisis, brother Democrats, to reject the aid of any who profess to be, and who really are Jefferso- nian and Jackson Democrats. At the same time organization mutt he maintained. Those who set themselves up against organization cannot expect to be successful by the aid of any portion of the organ ized Dea.ocracy. . ' We would also respectfully urge not only the Democratic people but Democratic candidates for the Legislature to stand by the candidate for Gov ernor. Let the candidates in all the Counties ex plain Gov. Ellis's views from the stump, and defend him against the false charges of the Opposition. He is doing his duty to the best of his physical and mental ability; but it is impossible, in the nature of things, for him to see and address even one-third of the voters of the State. He must rely and he does rely largely on the efforts of his friends. We be lieve he will be triumphantly re-elected, and we be lieve also that the Legislature will be Democratic by a handsome majority on joint ballot But we must show our belief our faith by our works. Let us determine as one man to hold up the hands of our candidate for Governor ; and from this time forth until the election, and especially during the month of July, let us work for the cause as we worked in 1848 and 1850. Let us do this, and the victory we shall achieve will be worthy of our standard-bearer and of the great cause whose flag he bears. The ceremonies at the Roman Catholic Church, in this City, on Sunday last, were interest ing and imposing. The Church edifice on Morgan Street, formally occupied by the Baptists, having been purchased from the latter, and fitted up in a neat and handsome style, was solemnly dedicated or consecrated by Bishiop Lynch, of Charleston. Four Priests, including the Rev. Mr. Quigley, the Minis ter in charge of the congregation, assisted in the ceremonies of consecration. Bishop Lynch deliver ed in the forenoon, to a large and attentive audience, a sermon marked by much learning, ability, and el oquence. Archbishop Hughes, of New York, was prevent ed by indisposition from taking part in the conse cration ceremonies ; but at hve o clock in the after noon he addressed the congregation on the state of the Catholic Church at this time, and especially with reference to the present troubled condition of the Pontifical government This address or sermon of the Archbishop was an intellectual effort of the first order. Archbishop Hughes is on his way to Chapel Hill, where be will deliver on Thursday next the annual sermon before the graduating class. Other engagements prevented our attending the exhibition of the Sunday school pupils at the Baptist church on last Thursday night; but we learn there was a large and delighted audience pre sent Wilie J. Palmer, Esq., got up and conducted the exhibition, consisting of music, singing, dia logues, speeches, &c. The children acquitted them selves remarkably well, reflecting much credit on Mr. Palmer. We learn that similar exhibitions will be held occasionally ; and we doubt not they will be profitable to the scholars and e Pertaining to the public. Mr. Palmer merits the highest praise for the active interest he takes in this matter, as well as in others calculated to amuse and instruct With him it is M a labor of love," and he enters up on it with commendable zeal. Green Corn. Four dayi from Xete OrUant. By Adams Express we have a splendid ear or Indian corn, i f this year's erowth, quite mature enough for roasting or boiling, in four dayi from Kew Or leans. Thus are the sunny South and its products brought to our very doors. In this part of the country Indian corn is just out of the ground ; or perchance not yet planted. v. X. journal of Lorn tnerce. A friend writing us from East Florida under date of May 26, says : " Our crops are very fine. Corn is laid by, and we have melons in abundance. So you will perceive our hardest work for this season is pretty well over. This is a great farming country. DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN GRANVILLE. In accordance with a previous notice, a large por tion of the Democrats of Granville assembled in the Court house in Oxford, on Saturday, May the 26th, for the purpose of nominating candidates to repre sent this County, in the next Legislature. The meetinc was organized by calling Col. W. L. Taylor to the Chair, and requesting H. Gregory, and R. L. Rice, to act as Secretaries. The object of the meeting was explained by Willis Jenkins, Esq., and the Districts being called were all found to be represented. At this stage of the Droceediners. it bcinc announced that Ed. Graham Haywood, one of the Democratic electois for the State at large, was in town, a committee of five was aoDointed to wait upon him, and request him to take a seat in the Convention. This committee re ported through their chairman, Ed. Lyon, E3q., that they had waited upon Mr. Haywood, and, that he bad consented to come ana aaaress uie meeting al ter the rineine of the belL On motion, a committee of three from each Dis trict was appointed to recommend candidates to the Convention. After retiring for a short time, the committee reported, through their chairman, Col. T. J. Hicks, the names of the following staunch Democrats, vix: Senate, C. H. K. Taylor; Com J. M. Bullock. T. L. Hargrove, and Ed. Lyon. On motion, a committee of three was appointed to wait upon the nominees, and inform them of their . - -n i ."ww . .I T nomination. Messrs. buijock, nargrove, ana ujon, severally came forward arid thanked the. Convention for the honor conferred upon them, and gave utterance to anund Democratic principles. Messrs.

V ;r-A restive, Joyous Day -v On Fridaf lasi'tbat fine -troop of dragoons the IPineu" Woods Cavalry," commanded by Capi G H. Farribault, paid their fifttyisit to our City. They came at the invitation of Capt High" and the Oak City Guard," whose guests they were on the occasion. . They were met by Capt High and the Guards near Kirkham's Spring, on the outskirts of the city, and briefly welcomed by him ; and soon after, about eleven o'clock, A. M., they marched into town, preceded by the Oak City Guards, and having drawn up in front of the residence of Dr. F. J. Haywood, on Fayetteville Street, ihey were addressed by the Hon. George E. Badger. We never heard a more appropriate wel coming speech than that of Mr.. Badger on this occa sion ; nor, we may add with equal truth, did we ever listen to a more appropriate reply than that made by Capt Farribault Mr. Badger, evidently much impressed by the reply of Capt Farribault for himself and Company, rejoined, briefly and in his best manner. We shall not do these gentlemen the injustice of attempting to report their speeches. Both Companies, with a large number of citizen.", then proceeded by invitation to the elegant and hos pitable mansion of Capt Rufus S. Tucker, formerly of the " Oal City Guards." They were welcomed by that gentleman in his proverbially frank and warm-hearted manner; whereupon they "charged" upon the refreshments which he had so bountifully spread before them. After some time spent at Capt Tucker's, and after several brief speeches, toasts, and much hilarity and good feeling, the Companies left for the Fair Grounds, where a rich and bounti ful dinner had been prepared under the direction of the Guardt, by Mr. Pullen of the Planter's Hotel. The day passed most pleasantly ; but the order to mount and form was at length given, and the two Companies returned to the City, the Guards escort ing the Cavalry. Before returning home the two Companies, by invitation of His Excellency Gov. Ellis, visited the Executive Mansion, where they were received and entertained in the best style by the Governor. During their visit at tho Mansion several speeches were mvle, the Governor him- ,self addressing the Companies, first on receiving them, and afterwards around the festive board. His remarks were very appropriate, and were en thusiastically applauded. The " Piney Woods Cavalry after having done ample justice to the Governor's hospitality, left for their homes in the country, having won the respect and admiration of all by their fine app.arance and soldierly bearing. Edocombe. The Tarborough Southernor is au thorized to announce CoL Henry T. Clark as a can didate for re-election to the Senate, and R. R.

No one is announced for the remaining Commons vacancy, which was filled at the last session by John S. Dancy, Esq. . Cedar Fork Academy. The annual Examination of the students of Cedar Fork Academy, in Wake, will take place on the 21st of June. The annual Sermon will be preached by Rev. Thos. E. Skinner, of Raleigh ; and the annual Address will be delivered by J. L. Pennington, Esq., of Newbern. J5 The Richmond Enquirer says the evidence is almost conclusive that the Richmond Convention of June 11th will adjourn over, and await the final action of the Baltimore Convention. This is a sensible view of the matter. Let them abide the action of the Baltimore Convention also, and all will be welL tW Will the South be united in the event of Lincoln's election to the Presidency f How can we hope for union among ourselves when the South is already divided? Let those who are disposed to widen the breach think of these things. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." For the Standard. Mr. Hold en : It appears from my previous com munications, that in 1835, when the Convention met for revising the Constitution, we then had sixty counties in the State ; that each county had one Senator and two Commoners, which gave to the East a large majority in both branches of the Legis lature. That from the growing white population in the West this county representation became so grossly unequal that the East was forced, by a sense of justice, to consent to a change. That at that time the thirty -six Eastern counties had 156,905 slaves the West, in her twenty-four counties, had but 88,675. That as the East was about to surren der her control over the Legislature, she had the right to have some guarantee against over-taxation on her slaves. The West admitted the justice of this, and agreed to the provision in the Constitution as to the equality of a poll tax. This was the com promise. It is true, at that time there was no Con stitutional restriction, but the East had the control of the Legislature, and the power of protecting her self. Besides, the method of taxing both white and black polls was then well established, and had been so long understood as to have become the well set tled rule of taxation, quite as much so as if it had been fixed by the Constitution. As early as 1784, all free males of twenty-one years and upwards. slaves, male and female, between the ages of twelve and fifty, were subject to a public tax. At that time land was taxed by the number of acres the only re striction was that the poll tax should be equal to 300 acres of land. Thus continued the law until 1814, when a radical change took place in our sys tem of taxation, lands being then changed from a tax on the quantity to a tax according to value. That year it was fixed at 8 cents the $100 value. and 30 cents the poll, free males, twenty-one and fifty, slaves, male and female, twelve and fifty; and not until 1819 was the free poll fixed at twenty one and forty-five, (t is thus a well established fact that the Convention, in fixing the Constitution al restriction at twenty -one and forty-five on whites, and twelve and fifty on slaves, was only carrying out the well established system of our forefathers. founded in justice and humanity ; the poll paying about three times as much as 100 value of land, and a black poll at least three times as much as the free polL Gov. Reid, in his message of 1854, says " it is obvious that in proportion to the whole num ber of each race, the poll tax paid on slaves is three tiroes as much as that paid on the white population, So it will be found this provision of the Constitution has imposed a tax on slaves in the two-fold charac ter of persons and property, and that an ad valorem tax cannot be imposed on that species of property, We think Gov. Reid's estimate too low ; that our slave tax is four times as great as the free polls. For it is a truth that any one may test that twelve and fifty, on both male and female, will include one half of as many slaves ; whereas, twenty-one and forty-five, on males alone, will not include more than one-fourth of the whites. In my next it is proposed to answer some of the opposition argu ments in favor of their ad valorem system. . MACON. Important from Ecroftl The rumor that Gara- baldi has been defeated is untrue.

I860. -The black' Republicans of this city held a grand ratification meeting on Monday evening last .'' There- were some persons present, three-fourths or them not identified with the party, but simply drawn by curiosity to see and hear what was done. The most active and prominent managers of this demonstration were B. B. French , and a Mr. Ger hardt' The first named gentleman held the posi tion of Commissioner of Public Buildings under President Pierce, and during the dava when Know- Nothingism was in the ascendancy here he attached himself to that proscriptiveeparty. This reached the ears of the President, who at once called the Commissioner to account A denial of any past or present connection with the order was made by Mr. trench, and persisted in until "confirmation strong as holy writ" was adduced, proving Mr. French guilty of wilful falsehood.' When a denial was useless, he resorted to entreaties to be retained, and even sought, it is affirmed, to move the Presi dent to clemency by copious showers of penitential tears. Isut the President was firm, and at once re moved the gentleman from office. Disowned and spurned by his former party -associates, and de nounced and despised by his Know-Nothing friends, he sloughed off into the Republican camp, the ren dezvous of all those who prove disloyal and treach erous to the decent political parties of the country. This is the man who officiates as the high priest in the Republican church here; who prepared and read the resolutions adopted by this latification luutuiig. anu who, in a viuainousiy poor speecn, ae nounccd the Democratic party as dishonest and cor rupt. Mr. Gerhardt French's bottle holder is a burly German, who understands beer better than politics. He is the kcep?r of a rum kennel, where he dispenses lager beer and Sweitzer Kase, pretzels and Holland herrings. Notwithstanding his igno rance and obscurity, the Chicago Convention placed him on their National Executive Committee, and he now holds nightly councils with his Teuton breth ren, when the henlthfulness of lager as a tonic and the beauties ot republicanism as a fixed "institu tion are discussed in the most approved stvle of German gutteral grunting. Gerhardt is to operate in directing the preparation and mailing of lying documents to be sent among the German popula tion, and a better selection could 'hardly have been maoe. These two men were the head and front of the grand demonstration. Senator Doolittle what an appropriate name led off in an oration eulogistic of republicanism and the nominees of the Chicago Convention. There was nothing remarkable in this display, except the immensity of words and paucity of ideas. He was followed by the rest loss little Washburn, of Maine, who ranted for about half an hour in tho most orthodox camp-meeting stvle. He dropped a few tears on the political grave of Seward, and then burst forth into an extravagant panegyric of Hamlin. If this gentleman possesses all the purity of character and political honesty which Washburn declares he docs, he is entirely too good for this world, and it is decidedly wrong to seek elevating him to a post where his moral and political cleanliness may bo defiled. Of Lincoln, he spoke in enthusiastic terms, claiming the suffrages of the people for him mainly on the ground that he was "a rail splitter. It appears from the remarks of Washburn, and others who followed him, that "fence rails" in this campaign are to answer the same purposes of humbuggcry that the mule soup of Fremont did in 1856. Great stress is laid upon the fact that old Abe, assisted by one John Shanks, did several years ago engage in the honest business of rail splitting, and in so doing, it would seem, he established a claim to the Presidential chair. This is the republican view, but they are not very con sistent or at all disposed to mete out even-handed justice. It was a hame and outrage to nominate Hamlin for ice President while John Mianks, Abe's partner in toil, is still alive and kicking. Seward's repudiation is but as a drop in the ocean compared to this gross wrong done to Shanks. If Abe split rails, so did Shanks by his side; if this is Abe's best recommendation for the Presidency, why should it not also be Shanks' for the next highest office ? Shanks' modesty has been his ruin. Per haps, however, he may yet turn up a Governor or men.ber of Congress a doubtful compensation for his loss. Wade of Ohio, Wilson of Massachusetts, Grow of Penn., and others, addressed the meeting. The campaign is now fairly opened on the Republican side. Thousands of documents are daily being sent from here to the States North and West; speakers are drafted from the halls of Congress and sent to the different cities to address the people, and every scheme th&t ingenuity can devise, and unflagging energy and perseverance can carry out is resorted to by these sectional partizans, to achieve success in the present contest. The tireless zeal and en thusiasm of these demagogues their oneness of purpose their alacrity to lay aside personal prefer ences, and the absence of all exhibition of a spirit of discontent present an example which the Dem ocratic party had best follow. Men of the North and men of the South must agree, for the common good, to make some sacrifices. All extreme exactions by either should be, at least, held in abeyance until this critical penod has been safely passed. And I am here reminded of the masterly letter addressed by Mr. Branch, of the Raleigh district to his constituents. It is a calm, dispassionate paper, earnest, logical and convincing. Without taking sides in the unfortunate controversy now so fiercely raging in the Democratic party, he counsels adherence to the compromises of the past, deprecating the rebellious and discontented feeling which has of late crept into the party. It would be well to place that letter in the hand of every North-Carolinian. The Printing Committee in the Senate hare made majority and minority reports in reference to abuses and corruptions. The majority report is very severe on Wendell, declaring that he was rash and reckless in giving testimony, repeat edly contradicting himself; that the instances in which corruption could be clearly traced was alone where Wendell had entered into schemes with par ties who had no connection whatever, directly or indirectly, with tho Executive, and that there was no evidence showing that Mr. Buchanan was privy to any such transactions. In connection with this, I will mention that on yesterday the House passed a resolution by a vote of two to one, to establish a government printing office. It is not improbable that the Senate will concur in this action. During the consideration of the resolution in the House, Mr. Pryor, of Virginia, arraigned the President for winking at corruption, and declared he could sustain his charge. Mr. Pryor is rather a slippery Democrat His course in Congress has been as unwise as erratic. He ap peared here an intellectual meteor, blazing momen tarily, athwart the political skies, darting hither and thither in a mad, freaky spirit until the light burned out and the fixed steady stars were again left the true unfailing guides. The two Houses are laboring hard to get through the necessary legisla tion by the 18th of June, but I have no idea the Senate will be able to do so, as much time has been consumed in discussions which occupied the hours that should have been devoted to business. The House has made rapid progress. A conference com mittee is now engaged in endeavors to modify or amend the Homestead Bill, so as to make it accepta ble to a majority of the Senate and House. Noth ing will be done with it this session. The bill for the admission of Kansas is now before the Senate. It is. now under discussion, and this too, will be turned over to the next session. The Pacific Rail road bill is effectually killed, for this session at least On Tuesday last, Capt Douglas Gordon Scott of the British India Army was married to Countess Harriet DeBodisco, widow of the late Count De Bodisco, Russian Minister. Orders have been issued for the preparation of the frigate Niagara to convey the Japanese home. New York will be the point of embarkation ; from thence, via Cape of Good Hope, for Jeddo.
