We have been informed with considerable warmth and emphasis by the gentleman, who has just taken his seat, that there is no other such a con- stitution in thia confederacy as tltatol our own. The conititutions of all the other Startes grant every man the. right of voting whether he pays tax or not But here an North Carolina we make the lawyer, doctor, divine, the iner- chant, mechanic, and soldier, pay aa mucn iax a any omer ciaaa oi our cu- izens, but will not let thera have the privilege of voting for Senator, though our Senators are all elected on the tax ation basis exclusively. -Well, suppose, Mr. Speaker, all this be true, which 1 most cheerfully do. what then? Does it follow of necessity,, that this bill ougnt to passr iot at an. ror u u was now instantly engrafted on the Constitution, it is a fact that ought to hare powerful weight with us, that it would serve only to make itlecidedly more unlike every other Constitution in the United .States.

Reid was elected by a very small majority. This, I contend, was given to him m consequence of some unfortunate dif ferencea and jealousies, local in their character, that then existed in the Whiz ranks.
