On .i n-fourth page will be found an interesting ar ticle on the tax of one per cent, proposed by a bill which has passed the lower Mouse of the Virginia Legislature, lo be laid h the merchants in that State. The iiiiielc is from the HViiy ; and what is said therein. will apply to the onerous tax on our merchants, tinder thw present lH'tuocratir revenue law. The opponents of a protective tariff say it is the consumer who pays the lax. and not the importer. If this is so, then it is equally so that it iuhe customer ami not the merchant who pays this lax. So. under our present Democratic revenue Uw. every poor man pays a tax on every lin eup, or yard of calico, or bushel of salt, or pound of sugar and coffee he biis. And when the poor woman barters her butter, eggs, chickens and feathers for these Cling-, the lax "is placed upon what she pet sin exchange e Standard Holding up the Patriot. The Standard of 21st inst., contains a long artiA cle devoted to the Patriot, following in the wake of the Dailj (RaleSgh) Prtu, charging ua with being co-work-cri in the. "irrepressible conflict," and as acting in con. cert with Horace Oreeljr, and other such ridiculous xtuff none of which the Standard believes, and we sin cerelj regret, for its two sake, that it has condescended to deal in such twaddle. We did hope that the Stand ard, occupying the position it docs; would have left all such low down, miserable slang as this, to the little "tight squteu," mliat the Daily Prt$$. That the Stand ard, after what has taken place, should not only be a copyist, but a sort of bauger on and retailer of the Prriit slang, is a humiliating picture to contemplate, and only shows to what degree the aristocracy of the Kastcrn wing of the Democracy, have succeeded in hu miliating the man who, only a few months since, boast ed that he had the power.to "kill and to make alive." The Standard closes the article to which we have al luded, as follows: In conclusion we tell the Patriot that if it shall per sist in its insidious attacks on Eastern slaveholders, we will hold it up to general indignation until the people of the West, who are as loyal on the question of slavery as the people of the East, tbemselTes come forward to cmnmaiid it either Id dojustice to the F.ast or be silent. Aristocrats indeed! Let U be known that the lean ing Opposition organ west of Raleigh considers Eastern gentlemen who own largeTtriuhers of slaves "arif' eratii," and that he is dealing in the same slang on this subject which we find every day in the New ork Tn- The above extract is not only remarkable for Its ar rogance and cool impudence, but it contains two state menu which are not only false, but known to be false by the Standard when it published them. In the first jdace, that the Patriot "considers Eastern gentlemen who own large numbers of slaves "aristocrat." simply because they own said slaves, is false, and the Stundard nor no one else, can point out any such sentimeni us ever contained in the columns of the Patriot; and again, that the Patriot "deals in the same slang on this subject as the New York Tribune," is also false, as the reudurs of the Patriot well know. The Standard! article is in reply to the following. which appeared in the Patriot of the 10th instant : The Iissut Let the People Decide. On the nd of Feburary last, the W higs of North Carolina, assembled in Convention, arraigned the democracy for their ex travagance, corruptions, and mal-administratioii of the Government: fcnd in order to correct the present ruin ous state of affairs, erected a platform of Conservative principles, and nominated JOHN POOL. Esijr., in their standard-bearer in the coming campaign. On the Mh inst., tho Democracy also assembled in Convention, en tered the plea of not guilty, and have retained JOHN W. ELLIS, Estp, to plead their cause, promising him a fee of $0000, and a house and lot in Raleigh, rein free for two years, provided he can humbug the jury. Facli party has laid down a platform in regard to Na tional affairs, but the grand issue to be decided in the August election, is the altering of the Constitution so that negroes, instead of being taxed as persons, shall be made subject tuan ad valoreml&x or in ot her words, the owners of- slaves, shall pay tax for such pro;. ci ty according to its real value, just as the owners oi real estate, or other property; that taxation shall be equal ized, so that every man shall pay for the support of the Government, in proportion to the amount of benefit and prot?ction he derives from the laws and institutions un der which he lives. Arcording to our Constitution, slaves can only be taxed as persons and not as property that is, every slave over twelve years old, and not over fifty, whether male or female, is subject to a poll tax, regulated by the amount of the poll tax on white males, between thi ages of twenty-one and forty-five. To tax slaves then as property, it is necessary to alter the Constitution, and for this purpose, the whigs at their lateConveutioti. pas sed ihe following resolution as a part of their platform : ' Whereas, Great inequality exists in the preset. i mode d' taxation, and it is just and right thai all prop erty should contribute its proportion towards the 1m dens of Smte : " Reiolved. Tha' we recommend a Convention of the people ofthe State be called on the federal basis as ear ly as practicable for the purpose of so inodifii:g t,,. Constitution that every species of property may be tax ed a .'cording to its value, with power to discriminate ot: ly in favor ofthe native products of our State ami j;i industrial pursuits of her citizens. On the oilier hand, the Democracy at their late f.,:i vention, and as a part of their platform, adopted i h following: Hetolred. That we nre opposed to disturbing any .: the sectional compromises of our Constitution, ."state oi National, m l t hat We especially Icprecato the inn.. luction at this time by the Opposition party ot V iti, Carolina into our State politics of a question of con-'i tutioiinl amendment affecting the basis upon who -li on revenue is raised, believing it to be premature. iiui . H lie, dangerous and unjust -. at the same time we deem it the duty ofthe Legislature when passing acts to i!i raising of revenue, so to adjust taxation as lo bear a equally as practicable within the limits of the Const it i tion. upon the various interests and classes of proper; . in all sections of the fetate. ter the Constitution for this purpose. And so these foresaid gentlemen determtned to cnish out the Stand ard for his plebiun and agrarian ideas, and for his abo lition affinities. For this purpose the Giraffe, which the Standard said, wa "demoted j lo machine poetry, vulgar anecdotes and nonsense," was turned into an o gan for this aristocratic clique, and cainedown upon the Standard with the most violent ahiige; On Monday the 4th of April, 1B5.0, the Democracy f Wake, held a meeting in Kaleigh tot appoint delegates to a district Convention to nominate Mr. IJranch for Congress ; und in order to humbie the Standard, the aforesaid aristocracy made the editor of the Giraffe Se cretary of the meeting, and the said Secretary would not even let the Standard' hikve the proceedings to publish This was the last straw, under the Weight of which the camel's hack gave way. The Stan do id became furious lv i.iad. and in one of the bitterest articles we ever read. over two columns long, it poured the hot shot into Mr. It. Harper Whituker, the editor of the (itrafe, and its aristocratic backers, in a style that excited the admira tion of the Patriot, and the Standard i friends generally. We give the foWwing extracts : Did Mr. IC Harper Whitaker and his adviser or ad visers suppose th:.t we would submit to this deliberate and intentional slight '.' It is true that of late, we have submit) ed to a great deal and borne a gr-at deal lor the hrrmouy of the Democratic party ; but "it is the last straw that breaks the camel's buck,'' Our fund of pa tience is not greatly larger than that f other people; we confess that so far as certain jiraffixrd democrats arc concerned, it is well nigh exhausted. 7T- And did Mr. Cam well suppose that we would sub mit to this '.' Did he suppo-c that he could thus put a slight upon us. under cover of another f lias he "grown so grea'" in his own opinion, and in the fat offices be stowed and promised to be bestowed upon hiin, as to beiiee that the Senior Editor of the S:nndard will sit quietly down and pel mil him to make war upon him from behind the bush, and to injure him by statements mad-' privately to Mr. l'-ranch. It will not do to suspect us of plotting, because oili er people plot : it will not do to expvet us to piny the sycophant, beca use other people plav the sycophant : it I I ongress, hx-Co veinurs, or expect us to le more detereii- er ood uel:;- that the Patriot is doing them injustice, nor do thej, liko the Standard, tell ua to be silent, when we speak of the aristocracy, on the ground that when we apeak of the aristocracy we become personal. We know a great many men both in the East And the West, who are large slaveholders, who jet, do not consider themselves aris tocrats, nor do others so consider them; then again, we know a great many who have bo staves, and . bat little of anything especially of oemtnon sense who pride themselves on their aristocracy, and their birth ; and are always ready to take offence, when any allusion is made to the first families. That there are several in the East who consider themselves aristocrats, no one knows better that the Standard. That this Eastern aristocracy have determined not to let the Standard hare any high office of honor, if they can prevent it, is well known to the Standard. That slight put upon the Standard at the Raleigh meeting, was a hint that it well understood so well understood that it broke the "earners back." That the Standard turned, and at last, rebeled against these repeaieu unguis, oia not surprise us; but we are ear prized to see it submit again so patiently and quietly and more than all, to see it taking up and retailing out the ridiculous and worn out slang of the Daily iVew, about the "irrepressible conflict." And is it possible, that the great Standard has condescended to retail the slang of a paper which, ten months ago, it denounced as a ve hicle for "machine poetry, vulgar anecdotes and non sense.'' Oh, what a fall is here! And yet, the Stand ard ihrr&iens to make the people of the West "command us to he silent." We do hope and pray that the Stand ard will not shut up our office until after the August election, for we want to say a few more things on ad valorem. This equal taxation is a delightful subject so talk about, as the Standard well knows it having been only a short time since, a strong advocate of the meas ure. And now Mr. Standard, if the Eastern aristocra cy wont let you advocate your favorite scheme, please don't be like the dog in the manger, and shut up our office and command the Patriot to be silent. THE IBBEPEESSIBLE CONPLXCT. The sectional feeling j between the North and the South has now afrived to that pitch, and abolition cm- isaries are so busily engaged in scattering their incen diary documents and Inflanvatory speeches, and using all other means te inculcate and impress their doctrines upon the minds of our Southern people, that it be hooves every Southern State, and North Carolina espe cially, to remove every thing which may have the least tendency to make the non-slave-holders in those States dissatisfied with the institution of slavery. Every discrimination which is in favor of the slaveholder only, and which does not effect others, should be abolished. This would not apply to the federal basis of represen tation in the House of Commons ; for the non-slave holders, especially in the East, are as much benefitted by this as the slave-holders themselves. But it does apply to the question of Revenue; for the present dis crimination between the amount of taxes paid on slaves and land redounds to the benefit of the slave holder, and to him alone. Non-slave-holders are grow ing restless under this discrimination. We know that non-slave-holders are as truly Southern in their feel ings, as slave-holders, yet it cannot be supposed that they will or can feel that interest in upholding the insti tution of slavery as they would do, were this odious and unjust discrimination removed. Let slave-holders ponder this matter well ; and when the Democratic papers speak of co-workers in the "irrepressible con flict," let them weigh well their words. will not oo tor iiiemliei - i Senators in Congress, to tial towards tlie.ii than we are towards o' ocrats. aid oilier respectainc people, or to submit tu more ut their hands than we would submit to :il the hands of others : it will not do to put upon us political ly and to slight us. sinipl;, because we have submitted to Mich things heretofore." s -.- '- " We must have a more r'urid -cixtiny by the demo cratic masses, into the meriis ot public nun.

Th Convention iimiroved of the alterations, and the Stand- i i aril. ami Press arejmsily engaged in printing the speech, as remodled. in a tyttle book price S-J per hundred, or two cents a copy. This little book has been sent to all the s'unni. r. in the State, ami thev are all now hard ut work, learning to "say tin- speech over." Mr. Fairi , , - l .1 ..l.1A ...

It is thought that Mr. Keevv. of Surry, and many others whocould "say over" the ohl speech, will never be able to get along with this. The la-t heard of Mr. Reeves, he bail the l.;ile hook upside down, and was laboring hard to make it i end like the Surry resolution. Ilard to Get Over The Faetleville i.rii. in giving Mr. Tool's legis lilive record, mentions among other things, that "in the election for Solicit"!. for the fifth Circuit, Mr. Pool was one of seven to vote against Hon. Robert Strange." Now Uiis, we confess, is hard to meet; and if the Convjiwio which nominated Mr. Pool hail been aware ofthe f'.iKt. that he, :i HVto. voted against a young m in, a Cumberland timoi rnt. for Solicitor of the fifth Circu'.i, we have no idea that he would have received the nomination. Hi '. Mr. Pool, how could you have been so naughty '.' Didn't you know that there was uol.odr cUc in the Circuit, either Whig or Democrat, that was til to be Solicitor .' Didn't you know that he wis enbilcd to the office by inheritance hi? father Imvmjr had it for many years. And then didn't you know that hi- cousin. Mr. Thomas Ruflin, was Solicitor of the sixth circuit .' Do not these offices belong to the fanirty ' tthy. Mr. Pool! Mr. Pool! wc cannot defend vou on this. ou must do the best you can with it. Again the Coiirnr says that Mr. Pool voted against the II .sr. Jesse Ci. Shepherd for Judge. There it is again I 'Well, we hue this much consolation, Mr. Shepherd - the Democracy have imposed upon him an office yh such poor puy that he can't live at it, utnl has coiiseiuetilly sent in his resignation. S Mr. Pool, as it has sineeturned out, didn't do Mr. Shepherd mi. ii h arm by voting against si, im. If. now. the office was worth $.. M) a year.

The is sue is now submitted to the people, and with them inu-i rest the consequences. If the people are willing that some SoOO.OOf'.tMK) of the most valuable and pr-idue tive property in the State, shallgountaxed. whiie t i -the most oppressive and burdensome, are laid upon the industrial interests of the country ; if they are wi'.iing that the great burden's of the Government shall, as here, tofore, be borne by the poor men of the country, ami the laboring classes, to the almost entire exemption : the rich, and those who derive the greatest amount ! benefit and protection from the Government If flu people are willing for this state of things to continue, why they will decide against an alteration ofthe Con stitution, and will pronounce their judgment bv voting for John W. Kllis. If however, the people desire equal ity. anil seek to do justice , to all seel ions nnd all cl ,i -ses : if they believe that the rich shouldasaist in heav ing the burdens of the Government, as well as the poor ; if thev believe that taxation should he in proportion t. the amount of benefit ami protection received under the ,i,u. Government If they believe thesethings, why then, the I t, people by voting fcr John Pool, will pronounce in lav ti of equal rights, justice and equality. The issue is before the country. We have every con fidence in the intelligence ami integrity of the people, and we fear not, but that they will decide the i--: . right. That demagogues and alarmists will start up to deceive them we know. That they will be toM thai i!. country has again to be saved, ami that only democrao can do it is very certain. Hut the people have been too' often deceived by suchhumbuggery, to be mislead again. Democracy has been too thoroughly stripped of it c harms, and too successfully exposed in all its native d 'formiiy, to deceive the peopleany longer. The hand writing is upon the wall; judgment is already pro tiounced against John W. Ellis the man who Im proved recreant to the best interest of the West, ami who, in all his feelings, is identified with the aristocrat ic wing of the Eastern Democracy. We have re-published the whole of the above article, in order that our readers may see that the assertions oi the Standard are without any foundation, and that a usual, he has set up a man of straw, which' the net moment, he knocks down, anil then raises a trium phant shout, in order to impose upon his delu.hd followers, and iprcss them with the belief that lie real ly loes possess the power "to kill and to make alive." That an Eastern gentleman is an aristocrat simply be cause he owns slaves, we do not believe, nor is then anything iu the above article that would justify an such conclusion, nor would any candid or fair-minded man, draw any such inference from our remarks. Our allusion to the Eastern Democratic aristucraev is wel understood by the readers ofthe Patriot; anil it is j ctti equally well understood by the Standard, tor it wcK j e;tl. knows their power and influence from sad experience. For a long time, the Stundard kicked against the assum ed authority of this Eastern Democratic aristocr.icv. and our readers will recollect that we stood by the Standard and encouraged it in the fight, ami did all w e could to secure for the Editor of the Standard, die nom ination at the Charlotte Convention, but Kllis with the Eastern aristocracy, aided by a few renegade Whig, ivere loo strong for us, and the Standard, notwithstanding Iho strong support of the Patriot, went down, having suffered a mo-t inglorious defeat. After its defeat at Charlotte, the S-andard inade a right strong tight for Ellis, the favorite of the arisi... ra cy, ami succeeded in getting him elected. This defeat of the Standard, by the aristocracy and his humble sub mission, we should have thought, would have satisfied them,'' but certain of them, such as Edward Cant w ell, who says "an aristocracy is a social blessing" we be lieve Cantwell don't own a very large number of ne groes and Thomas G. Whitaker, and John (Juincy Ad ams DeCarteret and others, led on by Messrs. Dranch ami Bragg, concluded that the Standard was n( suffi ciently humbled, and was decidedly too agrarian in its notions, and acted too much in concert with Horace Greely for during the Legislature of 1 H.r(R-',.)( it t,,ok strong ground for an ad Valorem tax, and stood side by aide with Mr. Bledsoe in his efforts to pass a Bill to al- The democratic papers are wonderfully exercised over Mr. Pool's record on the question of Equal Taxa tion, and are endeavoring to show, that if lr. P&ol is elected that he is opposed to ad valorem, and that con sequently the measure will never pass, if there are any Democrats who really believe that Mr. fool is op pose! to this measuie, and who, fronts other7 considera Uons. ure disposed lo vote for him, we trust that they will i,ot therefore be driven from his support; for if the democratic papers are to be believed, his election w ill iu now ise tend to hasten the passage of ,a measure which they so much deplore. Again, on the other hand, if there are any either whigs or democrats who are in f avor of eaual taxation, and wish to vote for a man n our fourth pnc will he found a long article from I, , . ... . , .. . . .,, , . i . - i f,, , whose election will tend to bring it about, why it will .-laiidant. ill whit h :t pitches into certain ofthe tie- B will, a vim. and iu a manner that -ome of t hem '"-ely be safer for them to votefor Mr. Pool, who de clares antl assures us, that he is for the measure, than to vote for Mr. Ellis, who is out and out opposed to it, ami denounces it in the bitterest terms. Now then gentlemen, both whigs and democrats, ComeupaKil show your faith hy your works The Democracy say that Mr. Pool is opposed to Equal j taxation, because he voted against Mr. Bledsoe's bill, i was f,,r administering mcdi- ! ' als.i Mr. (Sorrel's amendment. Now it is true, as ,,,se-." s.t a- to "purge out the ; shown by the records, that Mr. Fool did vote just as it is t pot-, i, f -tlfi-hn. ss. The ' lun ged. Why did Mr. Pool so vote? We can't tell, for ,m ' rlial'.ii" und. r its de- wi" have never heard him say ; but we doubt not that lie ha- reasons which will be very satisfactory to the friends of this measure, and that he can readily satisfy them that he is in favor of Equal Taxtion, asset forth m the platform. We ourselves are and were opposed to Mr. liiedsoe s bill, because it favored an amendment ot ihe Constitution by Legislative enactment. The w hig doctrine, and only republican plan of framing or amending constitutions, is by the people themselves ac ting through chosen delegates, assembled in convention why then did Mr. Pool not rote for Mr. Gorrell's amendment ? It might have been that his reason was, that as the great and important matter of a constitution alretorm had not been discussed before the people, and ihe people not having in any way expressed a desire for ;i convention to change theorgainic law ofthe state, that lie did not feel authorized to vole for a convention, although he individually wasin favor of one. The peo pie this summer will, for the first time, have the oppor tunity of saying through the ballot-box to their repre sentatives what is their desire on this subject. This is sue i- now fairly made before them. If an alteration to iiic coiisi ltunoti is desired by the people, they will - t v -o by oting for Mr. Pool: If such alteration is not desiiahlc then they will say so by voting for Mr. Ellis How many deinoci at.s, who favor equal taxation, will, under t ne lash of t he Standard anid party appliances, vote against Mr. Pool, we can't tell.

Ii is sai l by the Democracy, that the friends of ad va-hr-m, and those who favor the call of a convention on the Federal basis even, are co-workers with and giving aid and comfort to the Abolitionists.

In the late Deraocratio convention at Raleigh, the business committee consisted of sixteen two from each Congressional District. Of this committee, six were for ad aalorem, and ten against it. As this committee were choson by the. delegates of each District, they are presumedto have represented the feelings an.l princi ples of their several Districts. Thus it will be seen that over one-third, to tcit, about 20,000 voters, who have been acting with the democracy are for ad valorem. WE SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW, How these six committee men felt, while Gov. Ellis was delivering that part of his speech, against equal taxa tion. And WE SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW, What the people of the Districts represented by these six delegates thought, or will think, when they read that portion ofthe speech as published ia the Standard. WE SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW, The feelings of Messrs. Bledsoe and Frank I. Wilson, W. W. IIolden,S. 0- Williams and J. R. .McLean, while that part of the speech was being said over. Can any body tell, relate, norate, describe, or even conceive, or imagine the feelings of those gentlemen ? WE SHOULD LIKE TO KNOW; How that portion of the speech struck, Mr. Reeves and the Surry Demoracy, who so nohly responded to the Davidson whigs, when they in November last, were the first to Btart the ball for ad valorem.

Adjourned. ; SUPREME COUHT-OPlNioj-i Uy Fearton, C.J. In Hayes v Most Humiliating. The Democratic papers of South Carolina, say that private Houses in Charleston, during the sitting of the Convention, will be closed, and no hospitality extended to delegates, and that every thing will be guarded with the most scrupulous strictness. The Charleston Mer cury says, what has "the private hospitality of t'harlxs ton to do with such a case, an irruption upon her of an immense horde of men, intent on their own selfisii ends, and indifferent alike to her people, their sentiments and interests; and thousands of them of such character and manner, that if jthey were to come here individually, again and again, it would never he thought by a res pectable man of our City, to admit any of 'them within ii ia door." Ami again, says the s.-ime paper: The appropriate parties who should he at the Con vention, do not exceed a thousand. Charleston t-an and will provide for the accommodation often thousand de cent visitors surely enough for any Democratic pur pose. And if the Herald will guarantee that New York and other Northern cities will keep away from Charles ton their shoulder-hitters, plug ujrlies, prize fighters, blackguards office seekers, piek-pockets. burglars and rowdies generally, the News will guarantee that Char leston (now hiaving sixty thousand inhabitants, two thirds whites, ji will have aeconimodat ions ready lor every respectable and well behaved visitor who tuny .wish to he here during the Convention. Charleston has but little afiinity with the Convention atnl less with the thousands rho will come in its train, ami her people however a few might complain at the removal. wuH he rejoiced if it were assembled at another place. The above is the picture drawn of the me:.ihers nnd attendents expected at the approaching Democratic Con vention, by a leading an.l influential Southern Demo cratic paper. Is it not most humiliating. Hut since the corruptions and peculations of this most corrupt of al! parties, have been o thoroughly exposed, it is not strange that the citizens of any moral ami civilized town, shonld regret to see it3 leading characters and hangers on, assembled within its borders. From present np pearances, the next Democratic Convention will have to assemble in the woods for no civilized community will tolerate .them. The Fayetteville Courier, in its announcment of Mr. E. O.

Largely through his efforts, r.nd the efforts of the great Stute party whose cmididute he is, the mountain or tunnel division of the Western Extension has been placed under contract : that tunnel which Gen. Dock ery, the Patriot's candidate for Governor in is.Vi promised to bore, and which he refused to bore in lb"i 57, John Pool as a member of the Senate standing by and saying, well done Dockery ! We have the proofs of this in the Journal, and will produce them in due time. The above from the Standard, in allusion to .Mr. Ellis, exhibits the arrogance and reckless assertions of that paper. When the Whigs, after a long and severe struggle for years, had succeeded in building up n sys tem of internal improvements in the State, then did the Democracy step forward, when they saw it was popular, and attempt to claim as the Standard does now, all the credit anil all the honor. In the Senate of 18ot-7 the Democracy, or the "great State party," had a large majority. r.ow then could Gen. Dockery keep the "great State party" from boring the Western moun tains ? When the Standard produces the reeords, it will be seen that nearly every Senator of the "great State party" voted with Gen. Iokery. Will the Standard please tell us in what Mr. Ellis's effort con sisted towards this tunnelin; ' Again says the Standard, m allusion to Mr. Pool, "he voted against the tunnel, which the Democratic party, with the aid of Gov. Kllis. are now engatred in boring." What does this mean ? Has Gov. Kllis also got a contract to tunnel the mountain t We have al ways heard that he was a partner with Fisher in the $600,000 contract, but we did n.V know before, that he was actually engaged! in tunneling the Ril,jo. He has a big job before him. When did he commence, and when does he espect to get through ? Private Interests. following appointments Gateeville. Gates, Tuesday, 3rd of April.

H. Faribault, one of the Democratic Common ers of the last Legislature from Wke county, has pub lished in the Standard a Card declining a re-election. Cause assigned, private interest. It is well understood that during the last Legislature, Mr. Faribault was in favor of ad valorem. We suppose he is like Mr. IMed soe be can't goto the Legislature an.l vote against Equal Taxation. Wonder if private interest wont keep a good many Democrats from t.cing candidates ? It is well known that a number of Demo. 'tats who are look ing forward to promotion hereafter at the hands of the people can't be induced to be candidates this summer. Perhaps their private interests won't let them. We predict thai the next Legislature will have less talent in it on the Democratic tide than any Legislature here tofore. Cause, no doubt private interests. Acquittal of Vincent Witcher. A dispatch from Lynchburg. Va., says. Capt. Vincent Witcher, Addison Witcher, J. A. Smith and S.uul. Swanson. tried for killing the Messrs. Clements, in Franklin county, Va., were acquitted ou Friday eve- Qiaglaat. The Standard of the 28th, has a long article on thf question of ad valorem, nor does it dare to take ground against the measure; but on the contrary, impticedly, if not directly, admits that it is in favor of it. We give the following extract : Whatever may be our opinions on the subject oftaxa-. tion, let us remain united. The Democratic party is a liberal, enlightened, tolerant party. It pioscribes none of its members on account of their opinions on State affaiis , it erects no Procrustean bed to cut off or druw out according To the whim or caprice of the move ment. We have onr own opinions on this subject, but we intend to subordinate tnem on this and all other quest i.ns to the great issue letwee n abolition and a Con stittni in.il I luoii. The only question we shall ask will be. 7.; or.' Ttm:--rauc candidal, i ' We cannot trust Know-Nothing leaders to legislate tor us, to rep resent us in the I'uiied States Senate or in The Gover nor's chair, or to change Constitutions. If the Consti tution must be changed let the Democrats, aetiag under instructions Irom the people, effect the change in their own lime and way. When the time comes tney will an nounce it, and when 'he way i-asked lor they will point it out. They did this w ith Free Sun" aye, and the can do it with this new proposition if the people wish it. But not now. So it seems the Stuudard is tor ad valorem. Ih t it objects to the Whigj bringing about. This isjust what we told our readers some months ago. The Standard wanted this question to run on for Governor. Strange that the Standard can't get the Governorship out of its head, "li the constitution must be changed, ' says the Siaimard. "let the Democrats, ac ing under the instruc tions fiom the people, effect the chatigt in their own time and way." And why not bt the Whisjs do it' And why should the people wait lor the "time and way" of Democracy ? We always thought tne people ought to choose their own "time and way." The Democracy are very kind and gracious. "When the times comes, ' says the Standard, "thev ( Democracy 1 will announce it" to the people and '-will point out the way.'' Now all this is n.it only decidedly cool and impu dent, but altogether dictatorial. The people must wait till Democracy announces the time and points out the way. And what have the people to do with Democra cy Is it not time, after such a parade, to cry out, "to your tents, oh ! Isreul" Hut not now," says the Standard. No, the Stand ard commands the people to wait till he is Governor. Pwiilson CnUi-f X. '.
