So the tax oo non-resident brokers was im posed after all, and it is now our purpose to .snow, and ma.e.everv reader witn nan an eye see. that said tax is luDconsUtat'onal, (a fact in tself wbicb should have prevented its at aftempted imposition,) highly inexpedient as its inevitable tecdency is to sink or de preciate the bank note circulation of the Sta'e, without giving it any, the slightest, protection against the demtnds, of non-resident brokers, violative of the charters of the bank', and utterly in the teeth of Democrat ic "hard-money" professions, as welLas a lu dicrous, while blasting commentary upon De mocratic sneers upon "bank promises to pay." ; ( F'rst, we allege that the tax is uncons i . tutional because it violates private contracts. A bank-note promising to pay he bearer a sum of money in gold or silver on demand, is a contract with that individual which can not be altered without his " consent. ,The bearer or bolder is entitled to the full face of the note,-no matter what or how much tie discount be may have obtained, it at, and neither a bank nor a' State has the right to 'withhold any portion of tbe amouot promised to be paid for any purpose whatsoever; If we obtain a bank note for $100 for $10, or ten cents, we have a right to demand pay ment in specie of the fall face of' the note, and the law in this ease knows no distinction 'between resident or non-resident brokers, or ; any other elass of citiiens. Here we might ; stop, for if the tax ii question is unconstitu tional, it cannot be levied., but to prove-the gross stupidity of the late Democratic Leg islature, we ' will show that if the tax was lawiui, it would be tughiy inexpedient, an utterly impotent to stop the demands of the brokers. -' It would be inexpedient because it would dervreeiatA tha v,tn ff tVi Tlanlr not- oimh- lation of 'orth Carolina in ; the markets of the country r The brokers, ; knowing that a qatrter of one pr eent wuli b exacted from tbm, wiuid just gite a quarter of "on ' Mr-MntlMifrir tha nntea-ind then make the demand and draia the banks of their specie tut as freelj a thej ever did.

As the law (if it is a law! stands ar present, the cashier may collect jthousan.s and pay in hundreds by swearing to a lie. Lastly, we enquire if this attempt to tax de mands upon the banks tor gold and culver or exchange, iHn't a beautiful oommen,tary upon Democratic hard money professions, and their sneers at "bank rags" and "bank promises to pay!!'! 1 j ; We do sincerely hope that the first non resident broker, who is refused the full amount of his demand in sjecie or exchange, will bring a suit for fhe same, and test the constitutionally of this law.

For some time past, we have been grieved think that the Standard . .. . , ;J.,- Th was losing the confidence of ltiparty. lhe . , 6 . f ,u jJ. jmiU iimnlest BDcg-cstiona of the datv ana DOllCV r 1 ' nf iti mrir -noorpatmn which ID DV-PODe f- to - r J D days would have been gladly Received, and implicitly acted upon, now seem to excite suspicion to awaken a fear that they are n0' 'Ten Pure D disinterested dev- tion to tbe good of the party, but that tbe giver is after something that his purpose s either to promote some scheme of bis own, or. to punish somebody ho bas thwarted him. A few days ago, the Standard name out in an article urging the holding of nominating Conventions in every Congressional District." This was, as we thought, a very simple sug gestion, and one entirely void of anything calculated to awaken suspicion or alarm. We were mistaken, however, for "A Work ing Man' iu tbe last 8tandard, ges full tilt against any Convention of the Democracy in the Cape Fear Dm trie t. Should this wri ter's view- be carried oat, Mr. Window wUl of course, stand as the Democratic candidate, and any longing for Congress on the part of Mr. Ashe, or any other Democrat wishing to serve bis country, must bo buttoned opJ ' j To "a Working Man" the Standard replies deprecatioglj disclaims "any intention "to assume authority," was simply for holding Conventions in all the Districts', i;s own in cluded, &e., Sec. Whether Mr. Branch will relUh this sugges ion remains to be seen. ' He has been in Congress for some time now, and ihere are some of his party who would like to be fingering $3,000 a year, and mileage, &o. - Why rhould the Standard desire a Con vention in this District ? Is it not perfectly satisfied with Mr. Branch ! If it is, why the idle ceremony of a Convention V If it is not, why doesn't it come out and state its objec tions to Mr B'anch and the reasons of its preference foT somebody else ? THE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT, j The Ashcville News of a late date con tains a call for a Democratic Convention to nominate a candidate for . Congress in that District in opposition to the Hon. Z. B. Vanoe. - Ncw, when it is remembered what great things, to thej West were promised last sum mer in the event of the election of Judge Ellia and a Democratic Legislature, and how shamefully all these promises were broken by the recent Democratic Legislature, in the fUt and repea'ed refusal, m both branches, to remove even the sectiou restriction from the charter of the Western ' Railroad j and when it is. alsrf remembered how jastly and severely the News denounced the action of that body in so refusing to perform what they had so solemnly promised, does not a call on the people thos betrayed, to elevate a man belonging to the same party who made these pledges and afterwards, when their object was attained, ruthlessly disregarded ' and broke ibem, come with rather "a bad grace' from the News? Is not one repudiation of plighted faith enough t How can you, Mr. News, wth any regard ' for morality, co-operate with and advocate a party, which has so of en proved to you and the country its utter disregard of truth, justice, or even com mon honesty . What better things do you expect of a Democratic Representative in Congress than you received at the hands of tbe late Demooratio Legislature ? The honest people of your district have had enough of De mocracy, as was shown by the triumphant election tf Mr. Vance last summer, a proof that'' tbey are returning to their old faith. : Be' call your Convention and ' nomipa j jour man, and let him tn a J atrong one too, or he will never tb able i to aUud the ihraahinea he will receive from Vance, "mach less he one atthe ', polls frooa ' thef oppres8ed, down-trodden, be- trajed and plundered people,.' you recent- ly discoursed of. Even Mr. Clingman, who, until recently possessed 'hp entire confidence of the people of the District, and who exert ed every influence' and strained' every nerve . for, the election of Mr.. Avery last summer, i signally failed to accomplish that result, and despairing of the success of bis party in the r coming eon test, has sailed for Europe to re cuperate bis exhausted energies. Verily, the great day of the people's wrath bascome, and the Democracy cannot make even a show of a "stand." ; " Ji'' :' 4 I HYPOCRISY OF DEMOCRACY. . ... - ... i - i . ' We bave been called upon by the Peters burg Intelligencer to nan ate the history of an occurrence which took place in the House 6f Delegates of Virginia ' some years ago, when we were tbe member from the city of Peter-barg. As the faota are distinctly in our memory, and as they show tbe double dealings and hollow professions of Democra cy, we cosily with the Intelligenoer's re quest. ; j . . ! ' At" the session of 1849-'50 it was deter mined by the Democracy, then the dominant party, to remove some of the "basement sto ry officers," as they. were .called, from office. These officers were purely ministerial, and up 'to that time their politics had been wholly disregarded by the Legislature, no matter which party was in the ascendancy. To car ry out their purpose, thd Democracy held a caucus and nominated . for the office of First Auditor then filled, as it had been for years, by James E. Ilea h, an accomplished officer as well as gentleman John W. Thompson, of Wheeling. The two Houses agreed upon the day for going into thq election, and just as the vote a vote which would have eleot ed Thompson was about to be taken in the House, the writer pf this having obtained the informs tion, stated from his place that some years before, Thompson had made a Fourth of JuK speech, in which he had denounced slavery, ,' and spoken of insurgent slaves as bcoes entitled to . the sympathies of the world.' This annuncia'ion caused a great deal of i excitement and confusion, and the dominant party at length (broke up the joint order for the election, by carrying a motion to'adjiurn without having the civility to ask the Senate for its concurrence in a postpone ment, or annulling of said joint order. Af ter this, Thompson was ignored by the Democ racy of the Legislature, but the Democracy of the Pan Handle district took him up the ensuing spring an4 sent him to Congress, and subsequently, when Judges were made eligi ble by the people, he was elected a Judge of othe Circuit Superior Court. These are the facts, and show the value of Democratic championship of the institution of slavery. It is to Thompson's region that Letcher looks for the vote to elect him Gov ernor of Virginia. . For tbe b?tter understanding of the whole afiah, it may be proper in us to state, that subse quently, when another Caucu bad met, and an other Democrat bad been nominated, and joint order for the election of 1st Auditor made, just before tbe vote was taken, a Democrat declared thst be regretted thai Thompson had been drop ped; whereuporl the, writer df this proceeded to read, or rather, have reiid, by tbe Clerk of tbe House, portions of Thompson's oration, which were so revolting and shocking, thai the reget ting Democrat earnestly begged that the further reeding might be dispensed with; and upon this appeal the further reading was dispensed with.: , THE WESTERN DEMOCRACY U.ND IN jy jTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The steamships Niagara and Alps, of the Ca nard line, from Liverpool, March 12, arrived at Halifax shortly after noon on Sunday, the 27th. Their news is three days later, and is of interest. Among various notices of amendments to tbe Gov ernment, Reform, bill introduced in the House, Lord John Russell had propounded two, one qual ifying the disposition of the freehold franchise, the other demanding a wider extension of the right ofuffrago. Mr, D'lsraeli) gave notice of various modifications to; be presented by the government Lord Bury had made a call for the papers in the French Fisheries qtiestion,but had withdrawn his motion at the instance of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, who said he could not enter .into the subject be cause it involved danger. . The aspect of the war question in Fjfance is very little changed. Not? withstandingthe recent pacific article in the Mon- itour, and .hi .resignation pf the ..bead of the war" party, toe ieeiing oi insecurity s.im exibteii, uuu j-the immense war preparations continued with un abated activity. The funds in both tbe Jngusa and French markets had fluctuated considerably, but closed abaut the same as by previous advices. Lord Cowleyhad left Vienna for London. The success of hisjmission was extremely doubtful. A dispatch in the . London Times states that he was the bearer of a counter proposition from Aus tria, which it; was ; hoped would prove acceptable. An article published in the Paris Constitutionnel states that the nurnber ot Austrian troops in Italy have been increased from 50,000 to 180,000, and that a large quantity of artillery is being hurried forward, evidently for ths preparation of a fo"mi dable siege train. Matters look very warlike in Sardinia, and itis believed that she will commence a war with . Austria single-handed. The intelli gence from other European States is also interest- rg. Later advices from China state tnat tnere is prospect oi a renewal of hostilities. j '- i If- y v- - Murderers to bk Executed. Peter Corrie, J Harion Cropps, Henry Gambrili and John H.
