. EQLiL TUITION
IlaTiiie, on Tburtday, by the publication of
portion of Gov. Orahani'a speech in tho State
senate in 1854, rerjr eiToctnull disposed of the
Deniocralio pretence that tho Whig mcwurq of
equal Utatioa would violate a oomproinUo of the
Constitution, we propose now to offor few plain
niiir oi rao oueervaiioos un iug imuis v
proposed meisure. and ita obvious enaity. The
following is the portion of tho Whig Platform
which relatoa to this subject : . ,
" Wliirtat, Great equality exists in the present
mode of taxation, and it is just and right that
all property should contribute its proportion to
ward the burdens of State : - . '
" "1. Rctcivtd, That we recommend a Conven
tion of the people of the Bute to be called en
the federal basis a early as practicable for the
purpose of bo tnodifyins the Constitution that
every species of property may be taxed accord
ing to ita value, with power to discriminate only
hi favor of the native products of onr 8tate and
the industrial pursuits of her citizens."
Tlie chief inequality, if not the only one com
plained of is, that land, and" 'other subjects of
taxation are assessed according t.o their value,
whilst negroes, now tho largest tingle species of
property in the Slate, and the ooo most readily

proportion, according to (heir value, As wm
shown by Gov. Graham, this concession was made
to the slaVeholdcn in 1835, as a consideration
for the concession to the laiidholders of an ex
clusive representation in the State Senate. The
reason for the concession no longer exists. De
mocracy has wrested from the landholders their
part of the benefits of this compromise, and there
is therefore no reason for continuing the unequal
burden on tbeio.

50 ycaraofage-i-at least 1,000 each. Suppose
one man to own ten such n eg roe., worth ?10,OU0.

North Carolina, except so far as every nidi -
I vidual coald maintain his rights by his own strung
r ,rtn guch (he unjuubtcd fact, WO put it
I jhe conscience of every Mr ,,, of every
j Prty, whether It IS not equitable that those who
equally receive proiecuon, nacoruiug 10 mir
equally receive protection, according to tlioir
respective necessities for it, should equally pay
for lhat Prot'00. ccording to their raspeetive
amounts of interest protected? Can any fair
man whose property consist in negroes, really
desire that bia neighbor whose property consists
in lands, shall pay for his protection in negro
property? Wo cannot believe it. Who will bo
willing lhat his neighbor shall justly taunt him
with avoiding bis share of the public burdens,
and throwing them upon use who is more able
than himself to bear them, and vet is called on
. l , ., i if r ' ,

bor's share? On the other hand, what freeman
wm laiui-iy nuuuiii inus m pay um uii unu nu
equally rich neighbor's taxes? It ought uot to
be desired and it will not be submitted to.
Hut the case is far stronger than wq have slated
it above. The owner of these ten ncgroe?, worth
$10,000 is, on an average, tho owner of ten
others, nnder 12 and over 60 vears of aire, who

This
every body knows is a legal fiction. Many of

8100 to 8500 a jcar; while it is well known and
admitted, that every one of thftso under 12 is in
creasing in value ut tbo rate of about S100 a
year, and this (100 a year is just as really urid

as is any 8100 produced by the labor of anyone of

"Black Republicans" is the bugbear with .which '
Southern Locofcces. seek, on all occasions, to'
frighten children into bed, or into their party,
which is worse. That our fcadors may know ;
whose powers of procreation brought " Ulajuk
Republicanism" into existence, we. give them the
following from a late number of tbe New York
Daily News, a staunch, old Hue Deuioer: tic pipe :
" But in an evil hour we took theTree Soilers
to our bo-om and elected Mr. Pierce i'i 1852.
We made a bad bargain. This sectional frag
ment of fiur party', thus warmed into new life,
permeated tbe entire Government of Mr Pierce ;
so ruuoh so that uwst of our .National Iemoeftts
had to leave" it. So strong, iudeed, did tbe sec

taken to the bosom of the Democratic party u.
