To a ereat extent the canvass niav be said to have closed; still it may be necessary to warn the public against misrepresentations aud groundless reports. Some of these reports are al most too ridiculous to require contradiction, as, for instance, that said to have been started by the Iredell Express, to the effect that Gov. Ellis was to retire from the canvass. The Express and those of its notion only wish he would. Gov. Ellis has been and will be misrepresented to working-men, because, believing himself to have been personally attacked and opposed by a certain small squad of persons in Raleigh calling themselves the "Working Men's Association," he spoke with some natural bitterness about the course of this particular association towards him! That association consisted of some twenty persons, and the operations of those twenty persons were inimi cal to him and opposed to the principles he profes sed.

There is not u word of truth in the whole story. Every democratic Elector in the State is for Gov. Ellis; ind as for thc report that Jov Ellis had with- j mer to ovc,. tu.(ve thousand, aud in another, two drawn, his appointments to speak at different points in the State from now until the election is h .ut?ieifnt contradiction of" the rumor. Thc Gov ernor is now actively engaged in the canvass, and is in the best of spirits he has not thc least doubt of his election. Everywhere he goes he is greeted with great enthusiasm, and the good old demo cratic spirit is being fully aroused throughout the State. We beg our friends to be active and zealoua and see that the full democratic strength is polled. TORNADO IN SALISBURY. We learn from a private source that a terrible torna ! passed ovor Salisbury on Sunday evening last, ilniiiir a great deal of damage to property. The large l'cpot .-lied was blown down, the Court House much injured, and the Foundry of Frercks & llaeder unroofed, l'c-ides many other buildings are injured more or less, j .No lives were lost, Fo tar as is known. Just betore the shed at the Depot fell, an excursion train had ar- years ago, to sixteen thousand. So it is not fair to base a calculation now upon the contest six years ago. Nor is it correct to base a calculation upon the result of the last Congressional election, for in the three largest democratic Districts there was no contest, and nothing to bring out the dem ocratic vote. Even in this, the 7th District, the full democratic vote was not polled by some 1200 votes, because inaiir democrats thought there was not the least danger of Walkup beating Craige they looked upon Cruige's election as certain, and hundreds did not take the time to go to the polls. The last Congressional election, therefore, is not a fair test. Rut the one between Rragg and Gilmer is the one for comparison, and according to that, Pool will have to gain t we I re thousand, six hun dred and twenty-evjht. j JC" 111 reply to the charge against Mr Pool that he ! voted arainst ad valorem and against calling aConven- rivrd with 400 persons, all of whom had fortunately j tiou to anu.uj t!le Constitution I -ft the shed before the accident. Those who witnessed the storm say it was terrible, ami the loss of property ii!iit bp very great. Mere in Charlotte we did not feel the slightest e fleets of the blow the day was very warm, with little or no wind until late in the evening, when we had a slight breeze, but no rain. when in the I-egis lature, the Fayettcville Observer says: '.'But Mr Pool makes a question of veracity about it. lie pledges his word that he does nut "favor what he betore opposed," and he shows that the things were not the same.'' We have heard Mr Pool, and he entirely fails to show that ' the things were not the same." Why, Mr Pool and the whole opposition press are now referring to Mr Bledsoe, of Wake, as fighting for ad valorem. Mr Bledsoe is on the stump in Wake county favoring the Pool himself acknowledges having been a member of the know-nothing order, and remained in it un til it broke up as he says. Uut it seems that the friends of "Sam" expect him to "rise in his tiiiylit." Ad valorem is talked about by the oppo sition in order to deceive the people as to the real objects of 31 r Pool and his party. The Iredell Express, some weeks ago, charged that we were for Douglas about the time of the Charleston Convention. We denied it and defied the Express to show that we were. The Express replies by quoting, from an article in the Democrat, some seutenccs in opposition to Mr Yan cey. There is not one word in the quotations in favor of Mr Douglas' nomination not one. Why in the same article from which the Express quotes, we used the following distinct language: " After reading this article, some persons may make up their minds that we are in favor of Doug las' nomination. Hut. not so if xce had our choice it woidd be some Ode eite." Our neighbor of the Express will see that in stead of being in favor of Douglas' nomination, wc distinctly stated that wc preferred some one else. We know that the "Democrat" never did go for Douglas' nomination both publicly and privately we expressed a preference for some one else, and many of our friends with whom wc conversed know this to be the case. What we said against Yancey has nothing to do with our choice of can didates for the Presidency, and Mr Yancey's senti ments do not afford any cause of objection to Breckinridge and Lane. Even if Yancey were now a disunionist, that would not deter us from supporting Breckinridge and Lane because he sup ports them. If we approve of the candidate and his principles, it is immaterial whether others who support him are bad or good. - - . - fegr" The Fayettcville Observer calls our attention to an error made by us last week in stating the sources from whence the Common .School Fund i derived. We were in error in saying that the tax on " money at interest," "trading capital, &c," went to swell this fund. We mentioned "real estate'' as one of the sources, and in this we were correct; but instead of naming "money at interest, " &c, we should have said polls; for the County Court of each county levies a tax on land and polls for the support of Common Schools, and as a matter of coarse the most of this tax falls on the large property-holder he who owns the moat land and nejroff. 8o, the argument to show that the poor man has no good cause of complaint against the pres ent mode of taxation, holds good; for while the poor man pays two or five dollars tax, he gets back ten or fifteen dollars in the way of education for bis children, if his children attend a Common School; and to pay this, the land and negroes of the rich man are now taxed by the County Courts. of working: men. What bare-faced demau;otrism and misrepresentation! Do those who employ it really think so meanly of the common sense of the working men of the State as to think they can be fooled by any such nonsense? And then again, Jlr Pool, with his ad valorem hobby, is to be represented as the friend of equality and Gov. Ellis is to be misrepresented as the oppo nent of equality. Look at it! The man who would tax every thing at the same rate the luxuries of the rich no higher than the absolute necessaries of the poor the superfluities of life, no higher than the appliances necessary to sustain existence this man, Mr Pool, is the great champion of ad valo rem equality the great friend of the working-man and the farmer, while Gov.

County Courts have no power to tax anything for j couuty purposes except the Land and Poll. Aud ! the opposition propose to so alter the Constitution, I as to prohibit the Legislature from taxing the tie- i gro as a person or poll, ana to compel it to tax him as property only. If the Constitution pro hibits the negro from being taxed as a poll, then our County Courts have no power to tax him for county purposes, consequently the negro will be exempt from the payment of county taxes. And if slaves are regarded as property only put, on a level with the horse then they will be exempt from working on roads. How will tliaf work ' The State taxes in 1859 were 033,000. The taxes paid in the. State for county purposes were a little over 500,000 say both together 1,140, 000. Now, of this sum the Raleigh Register, the leading Opposition paper in the State, admits the slaves paid 435,000, nearly one ha. Of this sum 120,000 was paid for State purposes. The balance, 315,000, was paid for county purposes, for the support of the Poor, Schools, &c Pro hibit the negro from being taxed as a poll and he will be exempt from the payment of this 315,000, and that sum icill have to he placed upon the Land and white poll. How these know-nothings love the poor man and land owner! But suppose you raise our county taxes ad valorem ? The State taxes are more than tlp taxes for County purposes. And I have clearly shown that you cannot put more than 150,000 upon the slaves for State pur poses, under ad valorem: So that under it the whole amount of taxes in the State, for County purposes, paid by the negro, could not exceed 120 thousand doilars. Take that sum from 315 thou sand dollars, the amount now paid, and it will leave the sum of 195 thousand dollars that ad va lorem will reduce, the present tax on slaves for county purposes.
