'F.q. , Mr. Harris, f f Forcstville, wa, call ed to Um Chair. It being Keneralljr known that the objct of the call of lhe,mretirt; was for the purpose of hiring an a idrv-i fixm f.rth Carolina' moot dislinguieb- i son, the lit. Gvorge E. Badger, one of the OprUion Life tors (r the State at Urge, on the pea Jing qmviiori of the day, the Ourt House , w crowded with a large and inieiligent audi-nre. Mr H. W. Rusted made a few 'humorous re mark by way of introducing the diotinguith ed gentman to the audience, .stating that he bad seen it in print that Mr. Badger would not dare to n.eet bis cvmpelitor before the pl and that ' ' the Club bad aked Mr. II to appmr under their pruUvtion, to that it might beavrUintd whether c.Mi'd veturt to rUk hirmt-lf in public d"batf Mr. BaJgr ari, and 1ff thanking Mjr Id ted fur U flattering terms" in which he bad lu pleaded to call him up, and briefly referring in a humorous ir.-uiner to the remark of a Demo cratic journal that he wouli .in-t inoet Mr. Hav wid, one of the Detrmcratic ElcU'r' for the Slate at largo, on the turui, be prweded to fay that bearpea'ed befcrethat audience upon an inti mation that the Wake County Ad Valorem Club d-ird to brar him upon the pending qii'lion t.f the day. Even if be had felt at li!erty to do to, he wat rot disposed to decline the call. ' We have, said Mr. Ii., two important questions row before u, demandirg our earnest considera tion : One directly rring uptn the country: ' and the other of lie highest in.portanelto our Stale ar.d her people, viz: the subject of o alter ing our Constitution at to permit the Legislature to tax the property of the peotl of the Slate u on th8 Ad Valorem tys'em. r The pending question before the country i that of the election of President of the Unitil State. Th country is now in a situation in which it never be lore as placed. e tiave but two a tioiuu candidate before the country lor I bo ex - alted oJSce of President and Vice President. Xlnco.'k and the party that nominated him can Dot be called. National they are sectional. With regard to my Democratic fellow-citizens, said Mr. B , their rarty is shattered to pieces, and is, in my opinion, totally unable to re-unite. But the peo 7S pie of the United States have now before them the ' sanies of two men distinguished fr their states manship, conservatism amd patriotism I allude to John Bell, of Tennessee, and Edward Everett, of Massachusetts. (Applause.) He felt called I upon especially to say a word in reference to that nomination, because, as one of the Opposition ' Electors for the State at large, it bad been render ed peculiarly necessary that he should say sime thirsr, particularly in reference to Mr. Bell. He ; bad served, with him in the Senate of the United Slates, and knew him to he a true man there .was no truor maa to be found. (Applause.) He bad leJ no armies to victory, but be had been long known to the country in the civil walks of life in the administration -of National atTairs and net one bienih can be found upon John Bell, either as a foIilL'ian or a patriot. (Applause.) frind had askrd him (Mr. B ,) suorily after the n mi nations mere made at Baltimore, how he liked Mr. Bell ? He replied rrry veil. ( Ligh ter and a;plaue.) But, said his friend, he don't like you. What has that to d with it ? said Mr. Badjor. A man may make a very good Pres-ideil, and vet not like ni. tTboe who think thitf I, sil Mr. B., am Iruliff-rent to John Bell's "ixes. are in stmt en. He pos-esses states-:iian-h:;., pntriotism ainl a jmihittrative ability, ir.d-d. rrerxf qualidnation e'atii! to the oi- tt.-e of the thief M&isirateot tbi- IVpulic. (Ap- Mr. B. bad felt bound to say this. much on Na tional affairs. Our Democratic friends bad held their Convention at Charleston, but what was the resu't T They had disagreed upon a platform, a portion of the members bad seceded, and they had fi ally broken up, one portion to meet again at Baltimore and the other at Richmond. We can't tell what they will do. Mr. Randolph bad once made a very severe remark about the cohesive power of the -five loaves and two small fishes" with the Democrats ; but it was now doubtful whether that power even could have the effect of re-uniting them. He did'nt think they could get to gether again. But hs -matters now stand there are but two National candidates before the peo ple. i That is to say, while tbey deem it " premature, Impolitic, dangerous and unjust" "at this time," to have fair taxation, they regard it the duty of the .Legislature to tax equally, every species of property, except negroes. YVby exempt slaves T Is it reasonable to exempt (laves from taxation equally with other property, and to exempt noth ing else? I am a slaveholder myself, said Mr. B., though notja large one, and I don't see why I should not pay as much tax on my property, recording to its value, as any one else. - If a person owns a. large number of negroes, tbe natural increase, in the course of 20 years, will double the value of bis property, while land don't increase, but on the con tray,' will in 30 years become completely worn out. Two tracts of land don't beget a tmrd tract. We come now, said Mr. Badger, to something! Laughter and applause.) Wnaldoour opponents .;.., ...rtw-ni.rtr intprats im all. via : t fie auet- av m opposition to our piauorm 7 iney are in t lion which had led to the formation of this C lub, He begired the audience to excuse bim if, in the course of bis remarks, be should accidentally use two little Latin words. Tbe question referred to was whether there snail be equality in taxation As the Constitution now stands the Legislature has the ribt to tax everything according to value irvnl alavea. Slaves now are required only to ray -a poll tax, and that only when they are between the aces ot 12 and 50, By the present mode of imprt-ine taxes, the Legislature is bound to put t o much tax on some things and too little on some others. What are the positions occupied in reference to this matter by the two parties in this State ? Tbe following is the position occupied by the Opposition party WrfXRKA. Great inequality exists in the pres ent mde of taxation, and it is jurt and right that all property should contribute it proportion towards tbe burdens of Male Resolivd, That we recommend a Convention of the people of the State be called on tbe federal ba sis as earlv as practicable for the purpose of so modifying the Constitution that every species of rrorrtv mav be taxed according to its value, with power to discriminate only favor of the na tive products of our State and the industrial pnr suit of her citizens. Can anybody deny the justice of that position T If a negro slave valued at $1,000 is only taxed tin Ssf erit. or 8 cents on the $100 value, is it right to tax land 20 cent on the f 100 valuer in tne resolu tion just read there are two exceptions allowed to to the general rule of equal taxation, viz : 'to power to discriminate only in fav6r of the native, product cf our State and the industrial pursuits of her citizen. bat man canstand up in tne lace of the people of this State and deny the justice of these discriminations 7 11a roan owns IU.OUU in slaves, why not tax bis property equally with that of tbe man wbo owns 20,000 in land t We all know that before the Convention of 1835 was called, the West had been for a long series o years urging thecallingof a Convention, and some of tne estern people cad gone so lar as to tbrea tn to bold a Convention themselves and to change tbe Constitution, whether the East was willing or cot. In 1835, several causea operated to induce the r.ast to agree to the calling of a Convention. Ihe est could not have called the Convention without the consent of tbe East. The Convention as called for a specified purpose, and the mem bers were sworn not to disturb tbe Constitution in any other respect. One of the Constitutional compromise agreed upon by that Convention was the maintenance of freehold suffrage. Why was that insisted upon T It was the Idea of the Eatt that if the West got the power she would increase the taxes upon slave property and lesson it on land, while the West feared that the East might txirdcii kind with taxes, to the partial exemption cf slave property. And thus the compromi-e was cfft-cted-ihe landholder being proter ted by freehold suffry fronr7jT.r-sMve taxation. aWfr-Ttle'slavt ho. cur being protected by the ranitation ax from undue Uict on his property.

What is ; rea-on that one Treasury note is more valu i We than a dozn promissory notes? It is h- eaue the Treasury note can anywhere be conver 1 ed into gold in an instant. So with the negro. '. If a man wishes to sell his land it will take him I probably live years to get a purchaser, while a ' nettro can be sold in 4a hours. Nobody proposes to hurdt n the negro, but to tax him equally with other prop"rty. T i 'l at do our I, nncratic friends say in the 1 1th ' rt-tolu'.i' n of theii Platform: "iVWrer, That we aje opposed to disturbing any of ibe stctior el compromise of our Constitu . t ion S"te or Smtivnal:' S ho talks about disturb- ii g the yativnal Constitution? This is merely a , tub thn w n to the w haie. They are now dnvoally opposed to dis'.url ing the compromises of the Constitution, ll'-w were they a few years ago in ! regid to Free Suffrage? Mr. Badger continued to reau from the Democratic platform ' I and that we especially deprecate the introduction at this time by the Opposition IVrty of North Carolina into our State politics of a question ol Coiisiitutioiial amendment aff-ctinglhe basis upon ithi b our revenue is raised." I, prrcate at this time,' repeated Mr. B. What otner time wnuld I more suitable than the pre, er t? What particular objection have tbey t)Mu time T.ey goon to tell u "believing it to be premature.'' WLat do they mean by "premature? Tbi use 01 tne woru vt reniature ' m the Uemocralic n'at- troub'e because tbey profess to think we are going to tax the poor man's tin enps, and make an in road on his ben roost. They well know, however,. tbatnobody ever proposed or contemplated such a thing. So great is their affection for tbe work ing man that they really believe what they don't believe. (Laughter.) - Tbey ought to be asham ed of themselves. (Continued Laughter and Ap plause.) Our plan is simply to so alter the Con stitution that ail property may be taxed equally, according to value. But even if we were going to tax tin cups, let us see what such a tax would amount to, at 10 cents on the, $100 worth. He would altow 5 tin cups to each family, though he thought this all jwance was too liberal, for be bad too much respect for any man to suppose that he would prefer a tin cup to a gourd, unless fr was for the purpose of drinking whiskey, when perhaps the tin cup would be pre ferable. ! (Laughter.) ' Five tin cups valued at 5 cents a piece, would be 25 cents. The tax on 5. tin cups for ono year would amount to one -fortieth, part of one cent, or in other words one cent would pay the tax on the tin cups of one family for forty years. Now let s see what would be the tax on chickens; but by, th6 way, he would object to that, because he hail them to buy, and if they were taxed the country people would be sure to raise their prices on them. Suppose we allow; 100 to each family. At ten cents a piece they would be worth SI 0. Tbe tax on $10 worth forone year would be one cent. Tbe united tax ori the chickens and the tin cups of one family for one year would be one and one-fortieth of a cent. (Laughter and applause.) I will leave it to some better arithme tician than myself to calculate what per cent of this amount the collector would receive (Contin-. ued laughter and applause.) rist-ernfi. would pay the rnn-U-lhg chirken anti-twi cups of one famiIJ?owr years. Can anybody conceive of forin reminded him of a fellow at Chapel Hill, jo 1 r.e year ago, who on a certain occa.-ion was derirou of attending the races at Hillsboro, which were to oome off some days thereafter. He was not a very brigh'. youth, and upon applying to one of the Tutor fr permission ut that time to go, w as inarmed by the Tutor that bis application was pren.aiure ". Never having, heard the word , "premature" betore, he took it for granted that it implied permission to go; so off he went at once. On bis return be wa brought before the Tutor for disobedience. The Tutor asked him why he w M,tto HilUboio without his permission. "The by replied "You gave me rmision." I gave you pe-nii.-sion," said the Tutor, "what did I say?" 'Why, sir," responded the boy, "vou said it was , premature, and I thought by that that you meant to give n.e -ermission." Mr. B. thought when , w dcovered an evil then was the time to remedy ; it II slaves laid their full proportion of taxes, then mi"ht tbey with some propriety call it premature. .$,50,000 in land pays 20 cents on the $100 value, or one-fiith of one per cent.

As it is only the poor people who so much excite the compa-sion of our Democratic friends, we will suppose that out ot tbe 90,000 families there are 40,000 poor families. The whole tax for one year on the tin cups and chickens or tne whole 40.000 families would only amount to $10. There are (wd clever gentlemen on the Democratic ticket in this county, Messrs Mordecai aud Cox, each of w hom be supposed owned at least 100 negriies. If tbe principle ot Equal Taxation should be adopted, these gentlemen- would each have to pay on tbeir negroes about $100 taxes instead' of $40, as now. Of course, though. thejedon't object to the increased taxation on themselves, but tbey object to Ad valorem because it will tax the poor man's tin cups. iNobody supposed that tbe resolution in tbe Opposition Platform in regard to a Convention ever contemplated such a thing as the taxing of tin cups. When th rcsolutitm was before the Opposition Convention, Mr. Turner wanted to attend it so that it would. exempt tin cui. pewter plates, Ac, but knowing that tho Demo crats would misrepresent it anyhow, he (Mr. B ) opposed anv change in the weirding of it. The resolution, provides that we shall discriminate "in favor of the native products of oiir State." What dte that mean ? Why, that as between what is produced by our own people, and the productions of tbe people of other States, we, shall discriminate ini favor f the former. " A nd Xhe industrial pur suits of her citizens " What is the meaning of that? It means that the workingman's horse, furniture, tin fuj, if you please, and many other things, shall be exempt from taxation. It was never contemplated by tbe Opposition that these things should he taxed. If he were dis posed to criticise the Democratic platrm, he could show thai they go for taxing tin cups,' chairs, &c. They sav in their platform that the Legislature should ''so adjust taxation as to bear as equally as practicable within the limit of the Constitution upvn the vsriouiin terests and elasses of property in all sections of the State." He did not, however, attribute any such purree to them, but merely wished to call attention to the shine feature in their pla'f.rm that they com plain of in ours. The only thing that the Coiisti tulipn precludes us from taxing now according to value is the negroes. It is this feature in tbe Constitution that we wish to change. Our plat form provides for discrimimination in favor of the industry of our people theirs niakej no tuch provision.! Is there any reason why negro should not be taxed according to value? The only reason that he could see was they .are more valuable than other property. They can be trans ported and sold with ease, and for that reason .hey ought to be taxed at high as any other pro perty. I eaving out of view tbe paltry charge that we intend to tax tin cups and such things, is it not tbe policy of a Republican Goyernment to tax property according to value? '' Isn't it right and fairt? Our taxes are rot at the highest, high as they ere nw. We have to raise now some $600,000 or $700,000. A friend has prepared me th- fol lowing table, showing the present and prospective indebtedness of the State : - PRESENT DEBT or THE STATE, MAT, 1860.

These negroes work side by side with the white man, who earns $500 by his work, and though their master receives tbe same for bis negroes that the white man gets, yet he bas to pay a tax on the two of only $160, whilothe white man pays $5, be sides the 80 cents noli tax. . The condition ol things have changed since 1835.' Then,; no one complained of the taxes. Since then they have become enormous, on land and on nearly every thing except negroes. j I now wish to notice, said Mr. B. some of tbe objections urged against the calling of a Conven tion. Some say they are afraid that the western delegates will change tbe basis or representation What reason have they for this fear 7 Our wes tern friends deny tbatthev have any such purpose, Why should we doubt them? I presume tbey are as honest as we are. But. if they did desire such thing they couldn't do it, for that portion: of the State which may bn called middle western North Carolina would raise ber voiceagainst it. Soma have objected to a Convention because of the enormous cost of holding it. If slaves were taxed equally with land, the increased revenue on that kind of property in ten co'inties would pay the whole cost of a Convention.' Why, some of them say that the cost or holding a Convention will be $30Q,ooo I I wonder they had not said $3,000,000. j They are noted for their inclination ito misrepresent. These are not their real obiectiohs. The true cause of their opposition was, it was proposed by the Oppo sition party,- and be now made the prediction, and wished bis audience to take notice of the fact, that many of those who now denounce this question of .Equal Taxation as being at this time premature, dangerous and unjust, would, two year from this time, be its strongest friends. It will be amusing to hear the reasons they will give for their oppo sition to it at first. In tne meantime, we have but one course left. We believe it to be right and just.. Ibis is tbe most proper time to correct an evil Ibe only question is, is it right? If it is 'right let us press forward to blot out the inequality that now exists. (Applause.) -' He had intended to make 'a remark or two in reference to Gov. Ellis. He thought Gov. E. had no right to drag him out in bis speet hes. He had said nothing to him and wanted nothing of bim. He bad better keep all bis ammunition for John Poo), for it is my opinion that he will need all he can command and more betore be gets through this canvass. ( Applause.) He speaks of my hav ing pronounced, mv ipse dixit. What does be mean by calling toy opinion an tpse dixit? (Ap p'ause and laughter.) The Governor says "Mr. Bad-rer and Mr. Pool asks for ad valorem the peo ple do not," that is to say the people have not asked joy. lu. tor it ; but they mean to have it, neverth less. Now.it would not ccr.orrj Wne uariicularlv if the reople did not choose to Adopt ad valorem. It is truo, I have some negroes, and pay but little taxes on them ; but under the ad valorem system I should have to pay a great deal more. , What interest is it to me. then ? Though the Governor may not, I know a great many of the pet-pie who want Equal Taxation, and they mean to assert their rights at the ballot box. Gov. Ellis says "it is only a hobby" if so, Pool will ride it into the Governor's office. ' He says we want to make "cao- tal for a forlorn pary." So we are forlorn as far aa the Governor is concerned that is, we can't get office from bim. lie says that we want to "excite the jealousy of one class against another." That is as much as to say that if one portion of our Con stitution is unjust, it is wrong to alter it. If we want to prevent jealousy let every man come for ward and pay equally according to bis ability. (Applause.) Gov. E. says that Equal Taxation is "specioi s and delusive fair in appearance but tricky." Is it so? Whom will it delude? How is it specious ? "Discrimination," says the Gov ernor, "is the sole true policy." We have gof d;s crimination now with a vengeance.; We have now discrimination in favor of one class of pro perty. "Trie paper that I am reading irom says that Governor Ellis said, "the Opposition propose to take the' tax off of land and put it on negroes." This must be a misprint. Gov.

I : ; "-' : : . THE UNION CONSTITUTIONAL MOVE MENT IN MASSACHUSETTS HON. ED WARD EVERETT'S j ACCEPTANCE OJ? THE NOMINATION OF THE BALTI MORE CON VENTIO.' On Friday evening a grand ratification meet ing of the friends of Bell $nd Everett was held in Faneuil Hall, Boston. Speeches were made by J: Thomas Stevenson, George S. Hillard, Everett Saltonstall, Gen. George H. Deverenx, of Salemt and Major G. A. Henry, of Tennessee. iThe fol lowing letter irom Hon. Edward Everett, in re ply to Gov. Hunt's notice of his nomination for the Vice-Presidency by tie Baltimore Conven tion, was read : j Bostok, May 29, 1860. My Dear Sir : I have jluly received your let ter of the 11th, in which ou inform me official ly, that the National Union Convention, recently.; in session at Baltimore, had done me the honor to nominate me as its candidate for the office of Vice President of tho United States. I am deep ly impressed with this manifestation of the favor able opinion of the Cooveption, comprising as it did among its members so many persons distin guished for public serv'ce, patriotism, and intelli gence; and fairly representing' a considerable por tion of the conservative feeling of the country I ' For the great cordiality with which, as yon in form me, my name was proposed : and received. my warmest thanks are due. Tbe grateful accept tence of such a nomination would, under ordina ry circumstances, be a matter of. course; but it has unavoidably been with me the subject of long and anxious hesitation.; Tbe grounds of this hesitation I owe it to the Convention, which has honored me with this mark of its confidence, and to myself to explain ; loath as I am to dwell on . matters of personal interest of no importance to tbe public. It is generally known that I have, for some years past, retired from active participa tion in political life, not, sis I hope I have shown, . from indolence: or want of sympathy with my . fellow-citizens in the pursuit of the' great objects of social life. ! Tbe reasons of my retirement have been more than once publicly stated, and I beg to repeat tbem here from my speech at the Union meeting in faneuil Hall, last December: l did not suppose that anything could occur which would make me think it my duty to ap pear again on this platform, on any occasion of a political character; and, had this meeting been of a party nature or designed to promote any party purposes, 1 should not have been here When compelled by the prostration of my health five years . ago,' to resigu the distinguished place which 1 then 'filled in the public service, it was with no expectation, no wish, and no intention ot ever again mingling in the scenes of public lite. 1 have accordingly with the partial restoration m my health, abstained from all participation in political action of any kind ; partly because I have found a more congenial, and, as I venture to think, a more useful occupation in seeking to rally the affections of my countrymen, North and South, to that great name and precious memory, which are left almost alone of all the numerous and kindly associations, which once bound the differ ent sections of the country together ; and also be cause, between the extremes of opinion 'that have ong distracted and now threaten to convulse tho country I find no middle Iground of practical use fulness, on which a friend! of moderate counsels can stand." . It having been suggested to me, notwithstand- ng these avowals, that I might lie thought of, at tbe Union Convention, as a candidate for the Pres'dency, I requested by telegraphic, message and by letter, that my name, if brought forward, might be withdrawn. It is true that in these com munications I had only. int view a nomination to tho Presidency, none other havinc been sueest- ed to me : but: all the reasons above indicated. sions thus kindled have" already led to acta of vi olence and bloodshed, approaching to civil war in tbe Territories, and attempted servile insurrection in the States. The great religious and philan thropic associations of the country are' sundered, and the kindly social relations of North and South serjously impaired. Tbe national House ef Rep resentatives, hovering on the verge of anarchy, requires weeks to effect tbe organization, which ought to be the work of an hour, and it holds ; its secessions, (many of its members, I am told, armed with concealed weapons,) on the crust of a volcano. .The candidates for the Presidency rep resenting respectively tbe dominant sectionjal ideas will, at: the ensuing election, in all probability, be supported by a purely j geographieal vote. In other words, we are already brought to a pass, at which North and South cannot and will not co operate in the periodical reorganization of the government. , . ! ' ' ' , Can such a state of things long continue, espe cially with the ever-present risk of new causes of exasperation? I own that it seems to me impos sible, unless some healing course is adopted,, that tbe catastrophe, which the mass of good citizens so much deprecate, siould be much longer delay ed. A spirit of patriotic, moderation must be cal led into action throughout the Union, or it will assuredly- be broken up.j Unless the warfare of inflammatory speeches and incendiary publications is abandoned, and good citizens, as in 1776 and 1787, North and Southv wttl agree to deal with the same elements of discord (for fhey exuted then as now,) ad our futhers dealt with them, we shall but tor a very lew years longer oe even nominally brethren of one family. Tbe suggestion that the Union can be maintained, by ;tbe numerical pre dominarice and' military; prowess of one section, exerted to coerce tbe other inlo submission, is, in my judgment, as self-contradictor? as it is dan-! gerous. f It comes loaded with the death smell from fields wet with brothers' blood. If the vital principle of all republican goverment is "the con sent of the .governed," much more does a union of ....i c. s-. ii,. ii;cjuai uvvcingii umbos icijMiic na kuo unoia, bias harmony of its members, and their voluntary cb operatioo in its functions. Believing, for these reasons, (hat healing counsels must be listened to, if we are much longer to remain one people, 1 re . gard the late .National Union Convention as movement in the right direction. I could wish that it had been earlier assembled: with less ex elusive reference to official nominations, and with a more comprehensive representation, if possible, of j tne conflicting opinions of tbe country, un general principles and in; ordinary times I admit that third parties are objectionable, but in tbe ex isting state of affairs, if .there is to be any escape from the present . ill-omened conflict, it would seem that a commencement must be made with such a meeting as that of the 9th and 10th at Bal timore. It wasa fair representation of the conservar tive opinion of the country, and the calmness. gravity apdj good feeling fvith which its proceed ings were conducted, cacnDt be too highly prais edj' : '' In adopting- as its, platform the Constitution without note or comment, the convention, as it seems tome, pursued a wise and patriotic course No other course was thought of in the earlier days or the Kf public. Jilectioneering platforms are almost without exception Equivocal and delusive. Its is objected that men differ as to the meaning of the lundamental law : but! tbey-differ not less as any gloss pr commentary, ihe Constitution in its fair and na'ural interpretation, is the only ba sis on which good citizens in everv part of the country cn unite ; arid any attempt to go further wni usually nave no other enect than to cause those who, agree on great ' practical principles to .i: tr . -i.i-.i-.; ,. . i uiuoruu iin-iapuysicai suoueues,or lo oring logem- er, dv artitilly-constructed phrases and trom scl fi.h motives, those whohaye nothing else in com mon.

A thing may bfl"dangerous" to-day and highly safe to-morrow: but to say that it is "unjust" shows tbatthev never will agree that this spciesof propeity shall be taxed like other property. Perhaps they meant that it was a "dangnrous" proposition for them to oppose, and "unjust" because they believe they alone are entitled to the exclusive power and control over public affairs. After its being "premature, impolitic, dangerous and unjust" to alter the Constitution so that the Legislature may tax s'aves equally with other property, what do they propose-r "at the sam time we deem it the duty of the Legislature when pasing acts for the raising of revenue, so toadjun taxation, aa to bear as equally as practicable within the limits of the Constitution, upon tbe various interests and classes of property in all sections of he Stat l . may not oe entirely accurate. ugh they am doubtless as nearly so a en ), .ascertained at this tirtie Our present revenue is some 6 or $700 000. The interest on this debt will be about a m.ili .n of dollar. How is it to be met but by increased ' taxation?. Under tho Democratic platform you can increaserthetax on everything but the negro, but you can't increaso the tax on the negro with out raising it at the same tirrten the head of the white man. Taxes will certainly be considerably increased two or three years hence, and them is a very large proportion of the property in North Carolina which d-es not pay its proper share of the public burdens. Put politics out of the way and ask any man if it is not right that this property should be taxed equally with other property in ac cordance with its value? The present system is unjust and oppressive. The Legislature has been obliged to tax the salaries or wages of every man who receive $500 or more I per cent. This is a very serious tax on the mechanic or laboring man, but I doubt not that tbey would submit cheerfully to it if they bora an equal proportion DOUGLAS, A FALLEN STAR. Senator Benjamin, in bis late speech in tliejSen ate, thus "accuses" Douglas: 'I j We accuse him of this, to wit- that having bar gained with us upon a point upon; which we are at issue, the power of the people of the territbriea over the subject of slavery, j that it should bejeon sidered a judicial point; that he would tibide by the decision; that he would act Under the decision, and consider it a doctrine of the party; that having said that bare in the Senate, be went borne, and under the stress of a local election, h'is knees gave way; his whole person trembled. His adversary stood upon principle and was beat en) and lo, this is the candidate olia mighty party fo the Presideiicy of the United States. The Senator from 'Illinois faltered. Ho got the; prize for which he faltered; but lo, the grand prize of his ambition to-dty slips from his graspj because of his faltering in his former contort, ancj his suc cess in the canvass for tho Senate, purchased for an ignoble price, has cost him the loss of the -Presidency "of the United States. ,;- i iiere were iwp men struggling DIore the: peo ple oi a oiaie on two great sides ot a politl a con troversy that was dividing the Union, each for empire at home. One stood on principle was deleatod. To day, where stands he? The Other faltered received the prize; but to; day, where stands he? Not at tbe head of tho Democralid par ty of the United States. He is a fallen star. 1 We have Separated from him. He is right in saying we have separated from him We have separated from him, not because he held principles in . 1856 different from ours We have separated from him net because. We are intolerant of opposition from a iybody, fpr tbe Senator from Ohio jMr. PughJ is an honored member of our organization. We separated from him because hi. has 1 denied the bargain that he made when be went Ijiome; because, after telling us here in the Senate that he was willing that this whol i mat'er of slavery in the territories should be decided by the Su preme Court, in the face of bis people, he told them that he had got its by tbe bill; and ' that, whether the decision was for or against uk, ihe practical effect teas to be against vs; and because he shows us now. again that be is ready to make use of Republican arguments used against himself to home, and to put them forth againstthe Denlociat ic party in speeches here in the Senate ' I : . . ; A Famous Pistol. It is stated that the) pistol, which the friends of Mr. Fowler, late postmaster at New York, found under his pillow the night previous to his fight wa3 the same weapon which was presented to him by Hon: Robert J.

These teasons ojf course-still exist in nun pai red force, and.I cannot now take an ac- ive part In politics without abondoning a delib-' erately formed purpose, ind even exposing my self to the suspicion of insincerity in its persistent avowal. Wi'hout dwelling upon these consider ations, of which, however I am sure the weight will be admitted, I beg leave to advert fo a mo men t to my connection wilth tbe movement for the purchase of Mount "Virnon, to which your letter alludes rri such obliging terms. The favor which has attended my exertions in that cause, (if I may without indelicacy say anything on that subject.) has been mainly the result of my known and recognized disconnection from party politics. If is could have Ibeen even plausibly in sinuated that I was, or intended to become a can didate for high fiolitical honors, I should, in my , various excursions iirp-aid of that fund, have laid myself opertto the imputation of speaking one word for W4unt Vernon . and two for myself. As it is, (jhe people throughout the Union have generouslyj given me credit for having a single eye to that meritorious object. As far as the purchase of Mount Vernon is con- . cerned, that object bas beeri effected, under the judicious and efficient management of the Regent and Vice Regents of the Association, with the aid of theirintelligent and act've assistants throughout the Union. But a sum of money equal to that already raised is still wanting for the Mansion, the enclosureof the land purchased, the restoration of the house and grounds, as far as practicable, to their condition in 1800, anl the establishment of a permanent fund for theif conversation. I own that I am desirous still to ehjoy the privilege of co-ojierating in ibis noble work, which, however, ii wir oeimporsioie lor me lo do to any advantage, whatever may be the result of the present canvass, if I am now drawn into the vortex of a strenu ously contested election. There are many parts of the conntry which I have not yet visited. I had promised myself a rich harvest from the pa triotic liberality of the States oh the Gulf of Mex ico, and of those on the Mississippi river, (which I have not yet been able tovisit, with' the excep tion of Missouri, though often ' kindly invited,) and I confess chat it is very painful to me to withdraw from that broad field of , congenial labor, to tread the thorny and tuuikUss paths of politics. j Apart from the pecuniary aspects of the cass, which, however, are of considerable importance, I will candidly say, that in holding up to; the ad miring veneration of the American pefeple the peerless name of Washington, (almost ' the only bond of fraternal sentimenu which the bitterness of our sectional controversies has left us), I' feel as if I was doing more good, as far as I am able, to do any good, and contributing more to revive the kindly feeling which once existed between iNorth and South, and which is now, I grieve to say, nearly extinct, than I could possibly do by engaging in the, wretched scramble for office, which is one'great source of the dangers that threaten the country. These considerations, and others of a still more personal nature, have neces sarily occasioned me to reflect long and anxiously, beforle accepting the nomination with which the' Union Convention has honored me. " In yielding at length to" the earnest solicitations which , have been addressed tp mo, from the most respectable sources in almost every part of the Union, I make a painful sacrifice of inclination to what I am led to believe a public duty. It has been urged upon me, and I cannot deny that such is my own feel ing, that we have tallen upon t'mes ' which call iupon all goodcitizens, at whatever cost of person al convenience, to contribute their share, however humble, to the public service. I suppose it to be the almost universal impros sion it. is certainly mine, that the existing state of affairs is extremely critical. For political con troversies have substantially assumed an almost pure'y sectional character, thtjtof a fearful st ruc gle between the North and the outh. It would not be cyfHcult to show at length the perilous na ture and tendency of this struggle but I can only bbjt, vii iu occasion . mai, in my opionion, , it cannot be much longer kept tip, without rending the Union. :I do not mean I that either of the great parties in the country Idesires or aims at a separation of theStates as.afjnal object, although there are extremists in considerable numbers who have that object in view. While a potent and a baleful influence is exercised jby men of this class in both sections of the Union a portion of the conversative masses are insensibly and gradually goaded into concurrence with! opinions and senti ments with which, in the oiiteet, tbey had no sympathy. Meantime, almost wholly neglecting the main public interests, oub political controver sies turn more and more on questions, in reference to which, as abstract formulae, the great sections tions of the country differ irreconcilably, though there is nothing practically important at stake, which requires the discussion to be kept up. These controversies are carried on with steadily increasing bitterness and exasperation. Thepas- sonal knowledge and long association with him the public service. His! distinguished talent, large expedience in affairs, proved integrity and .sterling patriotism furnish the amplest pledge for sit booest and elnc-ent administration of the gov ernment at home and abroad. .
