'' The tTliis cause In If. Carolina. la tho four guccessivo elections last held in ihitStaio, the Whig causo hasbcca trium. phantr nd if - wo recollect rightly, addi tional strength was added to the party at each election. Another election ig'soon to - bo jicMy to which, to bur minds, there is as , great, or greater, causo why the Whigs . should be firm, united, and rally all their strength, as in any election which has gone before!. The next Legislature of our Stato will bo called oh to remodel the Congress iona districts sgreeably to the ratio of re presentation, which-may be determined on at the present session of Congress -it will liavo to elect a United States Senator, as tho time Tor which Hon. W. A Graham has been elected will expire on the 4th of March next ; and much business of a local character will present itself to the considc ration of the members. The political cha. racier of tho next Legislature will give tone to lite politics of this Stato for years yet to come. This tho Democrats know, and hence they are making every possible ef fortand will,'up to the' election, use all possible means to carry the State. That the Whigs have ft very . large majority in the State is known to all. Now, we call upon them not to let trivial and unimportant considerations induce ' them to yield the high ground they have assumed and main tained, by meeting ancf defeating their op. poncnts in four successive elections. Let there be no division in our ranks. Let the strongest men be brought- out in all the counties, and then let the Whigs be united! Remember, untiring efforts" will be made by the Democrats to ' divide and conquer.1 Where thoy have no hope of carrying tho entiro .delegation in a county,- they will bring out one candidate, and then propose a system of " log-rolling" to the Whigs " You vote for my man, and I will vote for yours." The Whigs must It firm ! They must unite upon their men and where others having, aa they say, a right to be come candidates " on their own hook," without 'nomination or solicitation of the Whig party,. thjJVhigS-JllllsU .rights by giving thorn the go-by. No one doubts their,' right" to become candidates, and no one doubts the right of tho people to refuse to vote for them. The interests of our country are too sacred,, and there is too much at stake in the present campaign, for the Whigs to think of lying upon their oars: " Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty ,".and the high stand so nobly taken by the Whigs of North Gtrolina, and under which the State has acquired in a short time more political character at home and abroad than she did in many years under the influ ence of Jackson-Van-Buren-Democracy must bo faithfully maintained. Tho Whigs have lho strength of the popular vote they can secure, the election of a Whig Cover nor and a Whig Legislature, if they will; "and we believe they will. ' - As tho difficulties in Rhodo Island, are exciting a good deal of interest all over the country, tho following brief history of their origin, from the New York Tribune, may not be uninteresting to our readers. The Kltode IInml question. We luveTcceIvcd8everaIequeits to givo a history of the present troubles in Rhode Island from the outset. To do this fully and intelligibly would require a pago of our paper, which we cannot now spare. Had we not been at Washington when it ap. pcared, we should have tried hard to crowd into our columns Mr Dorr's Message, which gives a pretty full and accurate though one sided account of the wholedifliculty. - But the simplest statement of , tho case is this 'hc'oHEinaton was a Charter from the British Crown: in 16G3 a most liberal and excellent one for the lime, but rather out of date now. . This Charter allowed the Colony, as a body poU itic, to admit Freemen to its political privi leges and duties a power which three years thereafter, was transferred to tho towns In 1724 a definite and uniformiiftu r- porty qualification of One Hundred Pounds' value of Real Estate was established. In 1603 the qualification was reducod. to Forty Pounds, or 3234, at which it has ever since remained. The oldest son of a freeholder is entitled to vote without possessing pro perty. ; It is easily perceived that this qualifies, tion, to say nothing of its intrinsic demerit, is aa extremely imperfect and arbit rary one . Under it, men who pay two-thirds of the Taxes and perform most of the Military duty required, may be excluded from voting Nay, it is possible that a single individual by buying up all the Land in the Stato, may become the only person entitled to exercise Political power within its borders ! Of course, this does not answer for the Nine teenth Century. ' So long as the State was essentially Ag. ricultural , however, the practical operation of this system was not very oppressive. Almost every adult mole citizen of intelli. pence aou character was a riocnouicr, or the son 61 one Who could easily set hmi off a little patrimony to render him one.-- lho r rechoidcr qualification gave stability to the Government, created an attachment to the soil, tended, to multiply landowners and distribute widely tho proprietorship- of thosoiu rrobaoiy down to isio-Uhode Island was more essentially Republican Socially and Politically than many States enjoying a more liberal Uonstitution. 'But the Charter still remained, and re mains rt lie fundamental lawi and, though many modifications of its provisions' have been made Iroro time to time by acts ot tho Legislature, tho ouHraire provision remain ed unchanged, and every effort tq amend it was steadily resisted by a decided majority. Different pafties have from time to time borne sway federal, Democratic, Adams, Jackson, Wlig Van Buren but they have oil alike . resisted every effort to. liberalize Suffrage, lho Ratio of Representation, too, which was just and equal when hrst adopted, has bcomo very far from this in the lapse ot trnla; so that rrovidcnco. has now fewer Representatives than Newport, with ono-fourtli its population ; and while 30,000 People in the former have but four memoers, the same number in tho.Agncul tora portions of tlio, State. -c!ioo80 forty Members, or more than a majority of tho uouse. inis, too, nas become a serious T ms a theoretical grievance, though practically the majority of the voters has seldom failed to secure a majority oi mo tegisiature quite as seldom, we think, as in any other State L The transition from an Agricultural to a Manufacturing community has developed and aggravated the theoretical defects'of the Khode island Frame of Government. . I hou sands of her best and most intelligent citi zens aro now engagodin Manufacturing and Mechanical avocations, which do not lead them to become landholders, and thus leave them without the Right of Suffrage, whilo it collects them in newly-created cities or villages, - which - have comparatively no weight in the Stato Councils. The same amount of Property , of Intelligence, or num bcr of persons, has not half tho Political Power in the Manufacturing as in the Agri cultural portions of the Stater- And it may here bo remarked, that tho Agricultgral portion of the Slate, though iiivcterately hostile to Free Suffrago and equal Repre sentation, styles itself ' Democratic," and gives Loco-Foco majorities, whilo the Free Suffrage portion of the Stale is Whig. ' But all old distinctions aro now merged and lost in the excitement of the new question.) Tho firct effort for a more liberal Suffrage was made in 1811, when a bill to extend the Right to all who paid Taxes or perform ed Military duty passed the Senate, but was lost in tho Houso. In 181tfVl82!), 1832, and 1834 irregular and partial efforts were made by the non-frecholdors for a Reform, and in tho last a Suffrage Purty was tormcd but as only Freeholders voted, it made but littlo headway. In 1824, a legal Convcn- tion lramed a Constitution ; but a propoai- Hon to extend tne Hight orsutrrage receiv cd onlv three votes. The Constitution thus legal Convention assembled, but adjourned without submitting a Constitution. Thus things remained "down to 1810, when, sharing in the Political exhilaration of the time, tho non-Freeholders and others friendly to a more Liberal Suffrage formed Associations in Providence and oilier large communities to promote theirobject. These petitioned tho Legislature of 1841 (Janua ry) for redress, and by that Legislature a Convention was again callcu to form (in November) a State Constitution, the Dele gates to bo chosen only by tho legal voters of the State, but under a moro equal and just apportionment than had hitherto pre- vailed with regard to the Legislature. Now if the non-freeholders had chosen the course of peaceful and legal agitation of their grievances, sending in petitions for an Extcntion of SullVago signed by all of their own number and by. llio two orJthrce. thousand Freeholders who would have heart ily united with them, it seems to us that the whole matter would have been amicably and satisfactorily adj ustcd. They were ind uccd however, to pursuo a very different course. They held a Mass Meeting or volunteer Convention at Providence on the 17th of April, 1841; another at Newport on the 5th of July thereafter, where they issued a call for a Delegate Convention1 to meet in Providence in October (before the legally called Convention, which hod already been summoned to meet there in November) and form a People's Constitution. Well : Elections for each of these Con ventions were held in the several Cities and Towns ; for tho former by tho regular Town Officers ; for the latter by whoever choso to hold them. Delegates wcro chosen ( each Convention assembled and formed a. ono imniodi- attly; tho legal one not till February" or March. Each Vas on the whole a pretty good Constitution but the ' Suffrage1 rather tho moro libera! of course, but the Land holders or legal convention admitted every native citizen wbo had resided two years in the State to all Political Rights without any f Property or laxqualificatioh whatever. (Our impression is that adopted citizens werb required to possess some property, but Mr. Dorr says nothing of it and we have not now tiino to trace back our files.) Mr. Dorr objects, however, that this Con. stitution did not wholly, though it did part ly, remedy the. existing inequalities iu the apportionment of Representatives. Tho " Suffrage Party" Constitution was submitted to the people (includingall whom it admitted to the right of suffrage) for rati, fication ; and as no body but its advocates deemed it of any legal validity, it had no opposing votes. But, as it was deemed necessary to procure for it the votes of a majority of all those in whom it declared the political power to justly residents friends resorted to the novel expedient, after hold ing the polls threo days open forjrotcs, to receive proxies (votes sent in by persons who could not or would not attend the nolls for three days longer ; au-J, including, these. llioy obtained in all l,1t)44 votes: where upon, computing the whole number of male adult citizens at 23,142, they dcclarea their Constitution adopted and established as the the paramount law of the State by a major The ' old line Was less fortunate. In tho first place, the mass (not all) of tho Suffrage party voted against the legally formod Con stitution because they wcro determined to maintain the validity of their own ; then a portion oi the : freeholders else voted against it because they Were averse to so liberal tit any) extension of Suffrage-es. pecially in view of the stand taken by the &unrage men ; others would not rote at all. The result was tho defeat of this Constitu. tion by a vote of 8,089 to 8,013, or 677 majority. 1 hus :tho. Uovern.Ttent-; party were tnrown oack upon the old Uharter, in dehancoot their wish and their effort M concede a moie liberal suffrage ? while the butlrore' party contended that their Con stitution had been legally adopted and was now the paramount law of tho State. i he passage of tho Treason or ' Alge nno Act by the Legislature; the two se vcral elections : the assemblago of tho rival Legislatures, and the Messages of Govs King and Dorr, must bo fresh in the minds of our readers. - We do not see, therefore,1 that the subject-noedtf any furthcr illustrai tion. ' ' ' . : Texas and Mexico . We suspect that we are led into error sometimes by taking information from Mex ico, received vy way of Galveston, as later than that received in the United States di- rect from Mexico ; which can rarely orev- er be the caso. W$have thus been impress ed with tho belief that Mexico was making c fleet ivo preparations for the invasion of lexas, which we already know, from the ength of time that has intervened without any demonstration on the part of the for. mcr, could pot have been the fact. The atc&t information from the border, that we have seen, from a source apparently cnti. tied to credit , is the following : from tM Houston (lexat) Telegraph, May A. News from the West. We have re cently boon informed by a gentleman who lasjust returned from tho western frontier that several Mexican traders from Tamau- ipas visited the rancho of Aubrey & Kin. ney a week or two since, and stated that. for nearly two, months past, there had. hot been a singlo company of Mexican sol. dierscast of tho Rio Grande. The whole country had been left entirely unprotected, and, in. consequence, tho Camanchcs and Lipans had committed most serious ravages. A party of 300 Camanchcs, a few weeks since, swept down tho eastern. bank of the uo Grande, from , Laredo nearly to the coast, and devastated the whole country. 1 hey captured and carried oil several wo men and children, and spread such an alarm that nearly all the Mexican settlers have forsaken their branches and removed with their familios west of the river. The whole country cast of the Sierra Mardre is almost entirely defenceless, and the inhabitants arc trembling with alarm, for fear that tho in vrrdiTTgTirmy of Texas wiil approach beforo they san obtain protection from the interior AaraTA has only about 800 effective troops under his command. Canales, who has been appointed to the command of tho mili tia, raised 400 ranchcros, badly armed and equipped, a few weeks since; but ho has remained stationary, and it is not known what his designs are. Ampudia has com. mand at Matamoras, and, since tho retreat of Vasqtez, has been fortifying thecjty tearing an attack from lexas; but he has only about 330 .soldiers, and the citizens are daily leaving the place. It is believed, thcreforo, that if 500 Texians should up proach the city, it would be surrendered without firing a gun. The people of La- redo, Mier, and Comargo have suffered so much from the depredations of the Indians and our western cow-boys, that they are almost driven to despair, and long for n chango that will afford them protection. It is ocuevcu umi most oi incm wouiu encer fully yield obedience to our Government if suflicicnt forco could be sent west of tho Rio Grande to give them confidence. There hardly a doubt that, if 1,000 Texians should march into Tamaulipas, tho people almost to a man would declare in favor of federalism. Many of the leading men are dissatisfied with tho present Government, and arc anxious to form a separate confe deracy.- The fear of SAitTAA?fKAnlone keeps them in check. Cobdova is still on the Rio Grande, but has no troops under his command, and is quite destitute and dis- heartened." Flores . lias not been lieard from for a long time, and it is supposed he is dead." Colonel Villaeeal, who during tho past year commanded a ranging com pany, stationed near the Scl Colorado has retreated across the Rio Grande, and left hia wnvaHchoiqwtScr deprecation's" of our cow.boys.It is reported that his stock has been reduced within the lasVyear from several thousand to a few hundred. -FHroHRhftbove-factsyit-isnident that the eastern provinces of Mexico are in a most deplorable condition, and would fall an easy prey to our army. " Why, Jonathan, what on artharo you going to do with that load of bran down in York ?" said a pretty girl to her sweetheart as she saw him driving his team down to tlio shop. - ' Well, I gtJCM I should't Hko tew tell." " Well now, dew tell," said the. curious girl. " Well, its tew make woman things of." " Woman things of 7" said Kitty blush, inga little. - Wal, I guess so- that's what I' call 'cm. Tho ladies down in York have got a crazy notion of looding fat in an odd part of tho body, and bran's ris in consequence." Kitty blushed still more, and went away thinking bran was.a strange article for wo men to get fat on.
