OR, AD VALOREM No. III.
The Comptroller's Report shows the value of
land snd town property in the State to bo 898,
075,909. 1 Tbe same report shows that there are
83 counties in the State. Now it is known that
the value of rest estate in Rowan county was in
creased by the Into assessments 9100,000 and if
we allow tho average increase iu all the counties
to be $300,000 we will find the aggregate increase
to be 124,900,000 which added to 08,075,9G9,
as st present shown by the Comptroller's report,
will make the sum of $122,975,009 We will
then be ssfe in assuming thst the real estate of
North Carolina is worth $120,000,000.
, In (he 'Compendium of tbe United States
Census for 1850, page 83, 1 find tbat the slave
population of North Carolina is put down at 288,.
618 ; and on page 84 I find tbe increase of -that
population for this State for the ten years prece
ding 1850 is put down at 17.33 per cent. At
17 ptr cent, increase there are then at this time
in North Carolina not less than 338,371 slaves,
worth at an average value of $G00 per bead, the
sum of $203,022,000. We will then le safe in
assuming that the negro property in North Caro
lina is worth $200,000,000.
ZZ The whole proporty of tho State has been va.
riously estimated as to value, In the discussion
at Oxford, Governor Ellis put down the value at
$800,000,000 and it is a coo ceded point by him
and Mr. Pool that the property of the State is worth
$700,000,000. Mr C. F. Fisher, of Rowsn, de
oics that thcro is this much property, snd says
there may be $500,000,000, and yet he has pub
lished a table of figures in the Banner and the
Addir in which the basis of his calculations is

''Is it right that one- hundred and fifty millions
of dollars worth of negro property in North Car
olina should go untaxed, whilst every foot of
land in the State is taxed 0 cents on the $100
value?
Is it right thst land should pay 20 cents on
the $100 value, and negro property only G cents?
Is it right to tax $2,000 worth of land, $1,
and a negro mechanic, worth. $2,000, ouly SO

Is it right to make a white mechanic or over
seer, whose salary is $500, pay $5 tax, when
tbe negro mechanic who earns from $200 to $500
dollars for his master, pays only SO cents r
Is it right to tax white polls as much as black
polls when white men have to loose so much time
on juries, serving as witnesses, mustering, pat-
roling, and working the roads?
Is it -right to tax $1,000 value of land more
than .8 L,00Q atlnteresU
blunders throughout, and thus he has gotten up
the deficiency he intended to create in order to
try and force a tax out of cows, hogs, tin cups, Ac
Mr. Pool say. if there is $700,000,000 worth of
propcrty in tbe btate, we can strike oil $100,000,
000, which will give about $1,000 to each family
in the State free of taxation, and then 10 cents on
the S 100 on the remaining $600,000,000 will raise
$600,000. Add to tbat a small &oll tax on tbe
white man of $33,000 and we have the revenuo of
last year. One thousand dollars to esch family
would cover enough of property to shield " tbe
industrial pursuits'' if all of the citizens of the
State.. ,
But suppose this estimate of the propcrty of the
State too high, and that there is as Mr. Fitbcr
surmises only $500,000,000 of valuable proper
ty ; then one seventh of one per cent., or a irac-
j tion over 14 cents on the 5100, will raise $714,-
2 1 1 revenue, $80,nU9 more than was raised last
year. Tbe State tax on $100 worth of land is now
20 cents; at 14 cents, it would be reduced C cents.
The present tax on , a negro worth $1000 is 80
cents, that is to say 8 cent, on the tiW; the 14
cents, would raise the tax on the negro 6 cents
on the $100 the landholder gaining 6 cents on

Is there any good reason why land should pay
a heavier tax than aoy other kind of property?
Is it right to put white men and negroes on the
tame level, and tax them just alike, whilst one
are citizens and bound to perform citizen duties,
and tbe other are not citizens and have no public
duties to perform ?
.. But independent of public duties, is it right
to put white and black on the same level ?
Is there no difference between the white man
and the negro-that should be taken intoccouut
at the tax box?
When war comes, who have to fight the battles,
the negro or the white man ?
: ' When war comes, who have to leave their wives
and children, snd go out to dwell in tents, liv
ing on scanty food moldy bread tainted meat
sleep on the earth, wet or dry ; and lace the
brisUicg bayonet and the wide mouthed cannon ?
Who stays at home, in such time as these, but
the rich slave owner, and all his fat, sleek, and
bappy negroes r ' .
Whose children and wives suffer for food and
a father's care at home, whilst father and son are
ht away in the camp f
Art) these worth nothing, in considering the
question of taxing negroes as much as other property?'--:-"-
,
Are these things not to be counted when you
come to tell the difference between a white man
and a negro at the tax box ?
Who ia it, that refuses to let the negro be taxed
at other property ? . .
Who ia it that refuses to alter the Constitution
so that we may have equal taxation ? .
Who is it that cries out about' taxing tin cups,
meal in the thh,,JBeat on the books, corn in the
field, and ail tbat sort of nonsense, just to alarm
Now let us make a table similar to Mr. Fisher's
avoiding his blunders, and calculating at one
seventh of one per cent., or at a fractiou over 14
cents instead of at 10 cents, which he himself
does not claim to be a proper per cent,
with taxes. As before stated, the State tax last
year was $633,000, in round numbers, and from
the Comptroller s Jteport I gather the fact tbat
the taxes lor country purposes vthrouguout the
State amount to $544,000, these together amount
to $1,177,000. The land pays to the State
$191,080 and for county purposes, all that the
polls white and black do not pay, which is $353,-
829 the land thus pays to county and State
$545,810, about the half of the whole of the
taxes for both. Now if there is $700,000,000
(Forth of nrooertv in the Stale, it will atmear
that the land heing a little more than one-ttventft
of the whole in value, pays about one half of all
the tsxes. - Such inequality needs equalizing, and
ad valorem is the thing (o do it.

M. BADGER AT STATESVILLE.
Wc find in the Salem 'Press a very full report
of the remarks of this gentleman at Statcsville.
We extract the following paragraphs bearing on
State issues:
Mr. B. commented on the manner in wlych
the Democracy construe the Opposition platform,
and appealed to the people to look at the plain
proposition, so to "modify the Constitution that
every species of propcrty may be taxed accord
ing to its value, with power to discriminate in
favor of the native products of the State and the
industrial pursuits of her citizens." . Don't it
strike every plain, straightforward man (said Mr.
13.) tbat that's right? The platform says may
not ia.V as the Democrats will read it. And
we shall " discriminate in favor of the native pro
ducts of the State." What does thst mean ?
Simply that, as between articles produced at
home and those produced abroad, we shall dis
crimijateJnjMDrfhftotii;c products
" The industrial pursuits of lief citizes;" what
does that mean ? That the laborer's tools, his

furniture, his horses, and his stock, &c., shall be
exempt from taxation. Speaking of negroes.
Mr. II. said : Don't wc work them ou the planta
tion, and don't we buy and sell them as other
property ? Don't we treat them as property,
eiocpt in, taxing them? No man out of Bedlam
ever supposed they were anything but propcrty.
(Laughter.) We don't allow a man to kill a ne
gro and eat him as an ox, (laughter) and so far
we treat them as persons. . But our Democratic
friends say they don't want to tax them according
to value on account of the Northern fanatics!

The Democrats ought to be ashamed of themselves.
(Laughter and applause ) .

"Gov. Ellis (he continued) had said a great
deal about Badger's ye dlrft that the people
had not asked for ad valorem, Badger and Pool
asked for it that it was Badger's ipse dixit..
Now, said .Mr. B., I said to Mr. Fercbce, in .
the Convention, who took it'into bis head to op
pose ad valorem but it is now for it, to-tell bis pec
pie ad valorem was all right, Gov. Ellis says it's
all wrong. Now whose rfiariV is worth the
most, mine or Governor Ellis's? I think I have
as much- sense as Governor Ellis. (Laugh
ter.) I would be surprised to learn that I hare
not as much honesty; and I thought I had as
much right to an ipse.dix.it. (Laughter.) I
know of nothing in tho Constitution tbat gives
Gov. Ellis an exclusive right to an ipse dixit. -(Laughter
and applause.) I expect continued
Sir. B.) that Gov. Ellis has learned before now
that a great many people in North Carolina, be
sides Badger and Pool, art in favor of ad valo
rem. Gov. Ellis savs the purpose of ad valorem
is to make capital for a forlorn party. Was free
suffrage got up for a forlorn party? Who gave
Gov. l'j!!is ami Gov. tteid the exclusive privilege
of proposing amendments to the Constitution 7
The Governor says we are trying to excite jeal
ousy between the slaveholder and the non slave
holder. How? By rallingattention to a restric
tion of the Constitution which forbids a certain
species of property from paying its just propor
tion of the taxes of the State. There are two
ways of equalizing taxation, says Gov. Ellis,
ad valorem, a epecious and delusive proposition...
Who does it delude ? It don't delude him, for
he has found it out. Did he think the people
had no Sense? Did he think the people would
take his " ipse dixit" for argument? His plan"
is to "discriminate';'' that, he contends, is tho
only right way. It means to put a mark of dif
ference Suppose you have a son and a daughter,

t'ifit's wronw ; you must give one of them two-
Lthirds, and the other one third -that's equality !
(Laughter.) That s Gov. Ellis's great plan of
equalizing taxation make things equal by mak
ing tb.eui unequal. (Laughter snd applause.)
The. Uovcriior sijs "the Opposition propose to
take the tax off land and put it on n&Toes. If
you propose to make the negroes pay more tax
when they pay, le?s than their proportion, he
says, you are going to take- the tax off the lands.
, Gorr Ellis says the vslUcTirtlielandsin North
Carolina is nearly equal tb the value of the ne
gro property. This wc all know is not correct ;
he knows it. But svtppos: it is so The land
now pays about one hundred and forty-seven
thousand dollars tax, white the negroes pay only
about one tittnJred and eighteen ' thousand.
Why don't they pay as much a land, if they
sre worth ho more than Gov. Ellis says ?
