Umreution, which hal awemUed Aiuend our'Sutti t' mstituti, were urged and properly urged, to .Klopt some proviai by wLcL Jave property would ! pnitected wgainat exces sire tAXAtion by the Geueral Aaeiribly. ThU protevtkm to the 1a vehokler a a promptly graut- d by the O rentier, by incorporating into the CbnstitiKioo tve clause which makea caiHtatiofi tAX equal throtiItout the State; provididg that the aUve Uxable ahall never Whither than the white taxable. By this constitutional provision, sUve property is protee'e-.l Against unequal and oppreMive taxAHoo, tlieGrneral AsmbiyjU;inf bound t raW the tax ou slaves onljr wlenUhcy ruse it oc white pcravna, and being compclkM to reduce it on slaves wl.ru it is reduced on tvhite pals Now, when' Mr. Gilmer and his fiends failed to fret a Convention for amending the Cou- stitution, they weut to work to pnt the Fre Suf frage Dill in such a shape as would make it ope rate equally, aim! afford protection to all voters, well tfewe who own lanl as thnao who own uoue. liey propose. I au annHxliuent proruitug tliat the liTgaJatnre shciikl not ievy a heavier tax mi each $300 VAluatiou of land.thau was iiu xwril in a taxable white or black poll, litis Would hAve givi-n the freeholders, the owners of the il, I he hrnie and sinew of the country, a comxttiuioMiI pntectii against he imposition of excessive taxation ou their buvls. Thi4 check is ima found in the fact, tliat none but free holder cau vte for Sena torn. The Free Suffrage, liill, as sluipeil by iu pretetaled friend, aad as it uow stAialA, si.nply provkles that all who vote for CumRiMQer may vote also for Senators, but it pruvUies no Conatilutiuual restraint on .be pow- er of the Legbdature to tax oppressively reaL es tate. The Free Suffrage Bill, aa it bow atauds, puts it in the power of the Legislature to impose tii whole burtheu of taxation on land. Had the Bill beeu Amended, as proposed by Mr. Gil mer and his friends, it would have been accepta ble to nearly every Senator. The laud holdera J would bAve seen At race, UiAt there was protec- ,' tnoi secured to tltem, and all inutility to the Bill . would have ceased. But the locofoco leaders of the Senate voted down the amendment. Thev i were res.4ved upon affording tW owners of land ' Lno protecUon, ic the (unoamentAl law, Against excesMve snd burtlieusne taxation, as was given the slave owner br the Convention of 1835.- Was thUfair? Had not the laud owuers the ' right to inis ou such a Constitutional protec tion f Why throw a shield around one specUsof property And not around Another ? Had the Amendment proposed by Mr. Gilmer And his frieads been Adopted, the Legislature could not raie the tAX ou Ucd without raising it on the white poll and the black poll, nor could it reduce it on the one without reducing it on the other. This would have afforded a recip rocal, mutual check, as between the voter, own ing neither Und nor sUres, the slaveholder aud the Und owner. Neither could then oppress the other. The fact, that each Senator mmseir is required by the constitution to own land, does not meet the daUcultj, for be must be controlled, in the Absence of a constitutional provision, by the wishes of bis constituents ! IIaJ the Amendment proposed by Mr Gilmer and bis friends been Adopted, the objections which so many landholders have to the Free Suffrage Bill wonld hAve been entirely removed, xnd the mcASure would have commanded the support of the whole people. But those who Are styled its "peculiar friend" voted down the Amerdment, And, by thAt act, made themselves sponsible for the defeat of Free Suffrage ! And pray, wliat rcAsonable objection was there to tlie Amendment propose. ? Were those who defea ted it determined that no constitutional protec tion should be secured to the landholder, the far mer, the cultivator of the soil, against high and oppressive taxes on the land, from which he ob tained his daily bread for himself and family 7 If it was wise And just to protect slave property, in the manner it U protected", by the constitution, is it not equally as wisp and just to afford like protection to real property ? The trnth is it cannot be d'sguisod Free Snffrsge wonld hare been secured without difficulty, if its pretended friends those who have been riding it, as a po litical hobby, for their own pr rsonal aggrandize ment, had exhibited a willingness to do justice to the farmer the landholder ! We entreat the people to lok to these things. . The views which we have briefly presented are entitled to serious consideration. We have not time, at present, to pursue the subject further. We again entreat every voter in the State, wl cultivates the soil, to exanrne this question seriously. It is one in which they are all deeply interested. - - AMERICANISM THE ALLY OF SLAVERY. The Southern anti-American press and ora tors, in spite of the strongest proof to Ihe con trary, persist in charging that the American par ty is frcesul in its proclivities. The Chicago Dcwtoarat thinks differently. It says : "We bare never been Able to comprehend bow Any true opponent of slave extension could be a Know Nothing, and especially since the nomina tion of Fillmore and Donclsoq and the 12th sec tion in their platform. As between Fillmore and DoneLon, and the Douglas ticket, every consistent Democratic Anti-Nebraska man would have to prefer the Latter. It Appesrs thAt Donelson wanted to make a slave State of CilifoniiA." Tliat will do pretty well. Mr. Fillmore is a (etter nan for the South than Douglas, and Dou glas a better man for the North. The Democrat takes the view-of the old Democratic Eerie, t' there are dements at work in that partr will strike the fetters from the limbi"'0f slave and inaugurate in one rant brotherhood all of the different races' of the earth, t Here is what the Democrat thinks of true democracy, as under stood iu the West : ...... . . . j . -There Li nothing like true democracy the democracy of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson tliat opposes all sumptuary laws, all persecution of men for their birth-place or religion, and all extension of the scourge of the age, human alg. ry." , Tux Election im "Washisotos, The Ameri can party, .t the election held in Washington on Monday but, elected four-Aklenncn aud the An ti-Americans ehctoil tlee: to lle City Council taelve Americans were tlected and nine Anties; of the AssesKon four are Americaus and tliroe Anties. The foreign candidate for Mayor was elected by a majority of thirteen votes over the American candidate. This result was not unex pected by a large number of thi Americans of Washington, who were aware of the unscrupu lous means, the vile corruptions, that were in tended to be perpetrated by the Foreign faction of that city, aided and abetted by the whole power of the General Government. Every Gov ernment official in Vasliuiirt.Q was assessed, and made to pay a port'ou of his salary t aid in swelling the enormous conupt'on fund that liad been formed for the purpose of carrviug the city at all aud every hazard. There were several hundred more foreign-born rotes polled this year than lii!t, and, in addition to this, in some of the products, all the Foreign. party tickets were printed on green paper, and the threat was held out to e very man holding office in any of the Departments, who was suspected of American principles, that unless he voted this green ticket, he would lose his mtn.Ttion An organised gang of bullies and cut-thn ab were also imported into Washington by the Foreign faction, for the double purpose of . sid ing in mobbiug and assaulting American voteis there and of voting illegally to which honora ble employments they doubt addnl a little pocket-picking and vvatch-ntu fling on tlu-ir own private account. The result, und.r tho circutn tt inces, reflects honor upon the indomitable Ame ricans of the federal city. THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION. As remarks the "Petersburg Intelligencer :" " The great Slaughter-Houce Convention has met at last in PorkopoILn. This solemn event occurred on Monday, but no organization was effected thAt day, other than a temporary Appoint ment of Chairman and a few preliminary arrange ments. , "We Always thought that this gathering woull subject the harmonious democracy to a PJ cre i wsw notorious that ele- ... j menu of the fiercest discord were sbundaut in the coucern, and only waited for a suitable cw portuuity to produce their effect. There'are connicung delegations jrom several ouues, repre it t . . . senting the different factious into which the pirty hss been split, which it was perfectly certain would give trouble enough to the Convution in tlie very outset. Nor have we beeu at all dis appointed in our expectation, for the meetiug had barely been called to order, when a most violent ruh was made by the Missouri delegation from without for the iu tenor of the iia'l, during which the door-keeper was knocked down, and a scene of agility in chair jumping exhibited by the mem bers within, which must have been remarkably edifying. Now, if such a row was kicked up by the Missouri claimants in almost the first hour of the session, what may not be hoked for from those infuriated contestants, who compose, res pectively, the HARD And SOFT delegations from New York, when their case comes up for decision ? The spectacle of such angry and disorderly strife is not exactly calculated to impress the world with the boasted unity aiad solidity of the great democratic party. What will be the sequel of this uproarious beginning, a ddy or two will de termine." 0 BlooiJ Affrat. We 'learn, from the "Mem phis fTenn.)' Eagle," t! at a terrible affray occur red at Helena," Arkansas, on the 24th nit., in which James T. Mabkiott, Eajf, formerly Coun ty Gwrt Clerk of .Wake, and but recently a citi ten of Raleigh, was severely, if not fatally, woun ded" We subjoin the particulars : "The parties met fai front of Myatt and Moor's store. Mr. Rice, in company with his brother-in-law, Mr. Marriott, had been there for some time, waiting for Mr. Hindman. About 1Q o'clock, Hindman passed in company with Mr. Claiborne. Mr. Bice stepped to the door, and asked Hind man if he was the author of the 'article in the Democrat. He mode no anvcr, but put his hand In his bosom to draw his revolver. Jfice alio drew a single-barrel putol, and bothfirod simultaneously. Rice was not wounded; Hind man was struck in the right breast the ball coming out of his back near his shoulder-blade. It is supposed that the ball passed through his body, but our informant could not positively say whether such was the cose, or whether the ball passed around his body, being diverted by the bones. Hindman fired several other shots at Rice, none of which took effect. Mr.i Marriott was standing in the door of the store, looking on, when Hindman fired , at him, the ball passing through his bowels ; Mr. M. then turned to go in tho store, when Claiborne fired at him, the ball taking effect in his back. Marriott then tnrned Again, And, resting his pistol on his left Arm, fired At Claiborne, the ball striking him on his left side, just above the waist, and, passiD.rvi through, lodged under the skin on the righ Hindman then stepped back some twe1 . r gP' teen steps and called on them to cor. .

"The original cause of tliis Moody and despe rate affray, as we learn from' j.uvate sources, was the publication of a political nod personal article (written" by Col.

'1 The call for the Convention was then read by Mr. Eugtish. of Indiana, during which a sudden uproar was '"beard at th and tuq cro"vd rushed into the hall, fighting amidst great confu sion. It was discovered that! this was caused by the delegation from MisBouriL who had resolved t enter by violeuce, knocked down the door keeper, headed by Ex-Gove-uor Price. For a lew minutes the confuaiou was indescribable, the members jumped upon (lie chairs and seemed as thohkh there would be eeoeral riot. Quiet was soou restored aud the readiugluf the call proceed ed with. ' Mr. McLane stated that wberi the credtmtiuls of the Misiuii delegates were presented, the com mittee of arrangements gave t ickets to. the dele gation, which preseuted pfandjacie evidence that the power of election was reu sea to others. From New York, also, appeared two sets of dele gates, but as the committee could not decide which were entitled to the seats, they declined to give tickets to either, unless they could arrange nut ters satisfactorily atynng themselves, as was clone m thecase of the Mii&ssirmi delegation. Both deli gations, thereforeTram New iork, awaiteil ad mission to the Convention. I Mr. Medary, on taking tlie Chair, returned thank for that temporary hfijor. He comment ed ou the progress of Dennxracy and bejieved that the occasional storuis in tlie party were cal culated to purify its political atmosphere, aud t'at the party was destiued to triumph despite all temporary quarrels. ' Alex. B. Uletheral.of Ala., and VV. . Kitchie.. oi a., weni eiecteu as temporary oec -etancs. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, ii'roduced a resolu tion for admitting the alteruales to seats. Mr. Harris, of Illinois proposed that a' certain pro rata number of four from each State be admitted, as the Hall was not Iare enough to accommodate all. J Ou the motion of Mr. Craig, of N. C, the re solution was laid on the table till the Couvention should be fully or gauixed. On motiou of Mr. Harru,ofIUinois, a commit tee on credentials was appointed, one from each of the uncontested States. i , As soon as the committees jhad been announ ced, Mr. Richardson, of Illiuoip, rose and said he did uot desire to interfere in the quarrels of States, but he would state hat the Convention owed it to itself, its dignity and propriety, that while certain rules were drawn up, ho person should be allowed to force au entrance into the Hall by over powering the door-keeper. It was necessa- ry that the Convention ahould protect itself from violence and insult. Mr. Hall, of Mi -souri, oneo; ' the delegates that to speak, but the had forced an entrance, arose chairman refused to recognize him, aud told him that he and others must presept their grievances to the committee on credentials. Mr. Hall made another effort te 8 peak J but was interrup ted with cries of "order.' The committed of organization was then ap pointed, one from each uncontested State. Tlie committee on platformf was appointed by one delegate from each uncontested State. After this the convention adjourned till to-mor row, Cincinnati, June 3. The'Mississippi delega tion held a meeting this morning, and resolved to insist on the adopliou of a platform before the nomination of candidates. The contested case of the New York .delega tions is argued before the Co nmittee on Creden tials this morning. The Convention was then called to order at 10J o'clock.. John L. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, reported the permanent organization of the Convention, as follows: I President, John Ward, of Georgia. Vice Presidents, one from leach State except New York, and thirty one Sepretar-es. The announcement was received with applause. The Committee also recomjmended the adop tion of the rules of the National Couvention. The report was pnanimously adopted. The President made a speech on taking the Chair. j - SECOND PISPATCH- i Cincinnati, June 8. The Coramittee on Cre dentials reported, admitting the anti-Benton del egates from Misourj. j A Tootjon o admit th delegates trom the dis trict of Columbia to the floor excited considerable debate, and was tabled. Several resolutions for the' admission of outsi ders were tabled amidst the. direst confusion. The Hall of the Yoang Men Democratic As sociation was offered for the juse of the Conven tions, if it should be preferable to the Hall in use. The Hall of the Horticultural Society was also offered. A motion to accept tle offer of the Young Men's Association was referred to the Committee of Arrangments. i A recess was then taken till 4 o clock. Third Dispatch, Afternoon Session.

From the Mobile Advertiser of September, 1848. . Anotheb Locofoco Gcit Spiked iLnporiant letter Jrom Mr. tulmore.W e take peculiar pleasure in laying before the public the subjoin ed letter from Mr. Fillmore ou the subject, of Abolition, which has been furnished us by Gov. Gayle for publication. It will be found hank and explicit, and all that auy Southern m tu could ex pect from a citizen of a free State. Indeed, it is perfectly sound all that the South could ask and stamps indelibly with falsehood the charge of Abolitionism, which the locofoco press of the South have been eudeavoi ing to iixitpon the dis tinguished and patriotic writer. There is not a proiuiuent m'n of any party north of the Po tomac who is freer from ail taint or suspicion of Abolition, none who, in feeling or priuciple, is farther removed from faaaticism, none entertain ing sounder or more conservative views, aud none more ready to stand by the constitution and the' rights of iha South jjuarautied ty the constitu tion, than Millard Fillmore. Read, Southerners, read ! i. Gov, Gavlu, in transmitting us the letter, writes as follows : .1 - j Mobile, 30th August, 1848. i!j Dear Sir will thank you to publish the enclosed letter in the Advertiser, Before I left Washington, 1 saw that the South ern Democratic paper? were asserting recklessly, and, as I believed, witnont the slightest founda tion that Mr. Fillmore was an Abolitionist. I addressed him auetfer ou that subject and recei ved the reply now se ;t you. Though this charge is made with blindness in th South, I will venture fc afiirm that no re spectable man of either party in the North would endorse ii. Upon this subject, no man js sounder than Mr. Fillmore, and as between him and Gen. Cass an advantageous comparison could be made. Respectfully, your obedient servant, John GajO,e. C. C. Langdoa, Esq. Albany, N. Y., July 31, 1848. Hon.-John Gayle Dear Sir: I have vour letter of the lGih instant, but rav official duties have beeu so prcsin? that I have been compell ed ta neglect mv private coi respondonce. I had also determined to write; no letters for publica tion oe-mng upon the contest in the approaching canvas. Uut av you tiro some information for your own satisfaction in regard to the charges brought against me from the South, on the slave question,! have concluded to state briefly, my position. While I was in Congress, there wa3 much agi tation on the right of petition. My votes will doubtless le found recorded uniformly in favor j of it. The rule upon which I acted was, that every citizen presenting a respectful petition to the body that by the constitution had the power to grant or refuse the prayer of it, was entitled t to be heard; and therefore, the petition ought! to be received aud considered. If right and rea sonable, the prayer of i$, Should be granted ; but if wrong or unreasonable, it should be denied.: I think all my votes, whether on the reception of petitions or the consideration of resolutions, will be fourd to be consistent with this-rule. 1 have none of my Congressional documents here, they being at my former residence in Buf falo, nor have I access to any papers or memo randa to refresh my recollection ; but I think at some timS while in . Congress I took occasion to state in substance my views on the subject of; slavery in the States. Whether the remarks were reported or not, I am unable to say, but the substance was, that 1 regarded slavery as an evil, but one with which the national government has nothing to do: That by the constitution of the United States, the whole power over that ques tion was vested iu the several States where the institution was tolerated.; If they regarded it as a blessing, they had a constitutional right to en joy it, aud if they regarded it as an evil, they had the power, and kuew best how to apply, the remedy. . I did not conceive that Congress had any power ever it or was in any way responsible for its continuance in the. several States where it existed. I have entertained no other sentiments on this subject, since I examine! it sufficiently to form an opinion, and I doubt not, that all my acts, public and private, will be found in accor dance with this view. I have the honor to.be, your obedient servapt, : MILLARD FILLMORE MR. EVERETT ON THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES SAD FOREBODINGS OF THE COMING EVIL. l: Boston, June 2. Horn.

Editor; 1 have seen in some of the pa pers,', and heard from ptber sources, of great injury having been done by a recent freshet to the navigation of tho Cape Fear River abov.e Fayetteville. These statements are true, to a very limited extent. Some now work, to the value of about $3,000, was- floated off by the water, but the navigitiou was not impeded tl ere by, as the old work still ' stood firm; The only thing by which the boat was- delayed was some injury to a Lock-gate, at Silver Run, and that was not the result of high water. .'."..
