At l'ittsboro', wc had the pleasure f hearing
t'io Candidates fr Governor, on the 21sr. inst.
The 'ope.-ning speech was made by Governor El-
li; AVe took notes of the di. cussion and inten 1
ded to attempt an accurate report of Qiq diseiis
s.iori, but the irregularity of tlu mail prevc-ited
our getting tln'in in time for publication. It is
4oo late iu 'the day now to publish a voluminous
report of a discussion, 'the principle features of
which have we. presume, beeu "read or heard by
a largo. m:ijori'y. of the voters in North Carolina.
Governor Ellis' su-taiucd himself well end irave

Mr. I'ool is an adiit, shrewd speaker, is an
adept at d; Iging an I .aukos rather a plaiuible

from our own k nov. ledge, f-r we do not wish to
indulge in mere speculation ar.d he;trs?ay, made
many converts to the doctrine so ably and-elofi:cn-tly
argued by himself as sei forth in the platform
of the Democratic party of North Carolina.

Ebbis bv their votes, as next Thursday reach

In our county elections, ail is well. ( The rcgu
Lir Democratic ticket wjll be elected out and out,
despite the strenuous efforts that are being made,
'and wholesale misrepresentations which are being
dished up and nicely seasoned for the public ap
petite by our opponents. We have herd char

exhibit a vety unenviable disposition upon the

skirted, on its ndvancirg border, by a. streak of
almost inky blackness, resembling somewhat the
volumes of smoke which i.sue lrom a railroael
engine, or from burning pitch, while its body
was of pale tr dingy green, and terribly deme in
character." Its movement was quick and rupid.
In a few moments it enveloped the heavens from
North to est, and m a few moments more, like
a eurtaiu of daikness, it (ovcrfprcad the entire
canopy. Quickly came a .delugedike. rain, prc

so modifying tho'Constitution that .every

By this opposition platform the pess-go cf

saying that "our legislature, in the ever. c: t:
adoption cf ad valorem, moy a:id ro r. i. ! ' :.-.'

BUT
remember that, the Raleigh Peyistcr 's.iys :
' We'll soon have a ju-t an J equal sy?:-:ra

REMEMBER
that the Wilmington Ihrald says :
; Ad valorem taxation ''simply mcr.rs the- 1 v
