Taxation upon the ' ground that the East has contributed largely to Western Railroads, and that tbe West is already largely indebted to, $em. Such is nqt the fact. The East is rather indebted to the Veat for a large proportion of the Railroads of the State. I have had an investigation made of this subject which I believe to be accurate, and I do not j believe .that my competitor or any one else will deny its accuracy. Of the 684 miles of railroads completed in the State 480 miles are East of Raleigh, afid only 204 miles West of Raleigh. The East has more than twice as much railroad as the Westj and two dollars have been expended for Eastern Rail roads where one has been expended fjr Western roads. If this then, is a cjuestion of sectional indebtedness we of the East are already largely indebt ed to our Western friends. Rut there is another matter in this connection to which I desire to calt the attention of slave dwners. Railroads are espe cially for their benefit, for by increas ing the facility of getting the products of slave labor to market they increase th value of that labor and add large ly to the profits of slave property. xnc iftiuuftusvi w.c uiatc lull imyuu L . 7- J rL,;(, T.l, VJ,..; A7,.. many of the largest slave holding Coun-sundd Bay.

' He and j his party .were now proposing so to amend the consti tflt,ion. as to. disconnect the tax.on white j)0lls from the tax on slave .property ; and in that way place it in the power of the legislature to relieve white men from the poll tax whenever it may be decmod. expedient tcj do so. The on ly .proposition that we imake is to gkve the legislature .the ,power to reflect the w ill of the people onj this subject. .' SENATE pASIS.

Mr. Pool's Position in the East and in the West Last week we published "the discussion which took place between Mr. Pool and Gov. ElHs, at Morgan ton, the first western speech which the candidates had made. Gov. Ellis, as a)l well fcnow that heard him, completely changed his 'ground, and made a speech for Western ears, as he had spoken for Eastern ears, while in the East. ilr. Pool maintained the same ground at Morganton that he oc cupied in theEat, which his reported speeches will show, and which those who have heard him in both sections, will verify. To estab lish this fact, beyond dispute) we to-day re publish the speeches which were made' by Mr. Pool, at Goklslioro' and Newbern, and invite the earnest attention of the reader to their perusal. The Case Stated. It is well known to those, who read the proceedings of thelat Baltimore Democratic Convention, that the bitterest feelings pre dominated among the delegate, that it was characterized by quarrels, fights, and almost duels. The Convention divided and each faction, has nominated candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Fresulency. The free soil wing has put forth a ticket with the names of Stephen A. Douglas and II. V. Johnson, and the seceders have nominated Breckinridge and Joe Lane. Each of these ' ' should contribute itsiNational. and that we Showiilg thtee fifths of the black proportion towards (he jespecially deprecate polls in the State in the, counties burdens of State : the introduction at tli is through which these Railroads run. lv That we re-,time by the Opposition TP i 1 1 . i" ,i commend a Conven-Partv of ?orih Caro- If we Should count also . the counties tion ol- the people ofllina into our State pol- adjoining these, this proportion would the State to be? called jitics of a question of present mode of taxa-ling any of the section tion. and it isiust andlal compromises of our right that all property Constitution, State or factions claim to te the himon-pure .Demo cracy, and each bitterly denounces the other as a bogus conceri-that is, the politicians are doing so, and we believe them.

BU It is surprising how some papers ana given to down-right lying, even in small mat ters, that can avail their case nothing. When Mr. Pool reached Salisbury, a week or so ago, at nigJd by the Express train from the East; he was waited upon by a number ef his friends at the Boyden House to extend to him a welcome, and he was treated to a serenade by the Salisbury Brass Band. - Mr. Pool in making acknowledgements, said that when he last visited Salisbury, 6onle years ago, the place was then "quite a village," and he was pleased to learn that it's growth had since been great. He arrived in the night had not been over the town to view the. extent of Salisbury and above all, made no such re mark about Salisbury at present, as a lying looofoco sheet has ascribed to him. We have ourstaiement from gentlemen, who were present, and heard what Sir. Tool did say. ; Sectional Mags.

The true policy of the South would be to ignore Breckinridge, Douglas, and Lin coln and vote n masse for Bell ami Everett. In no other .way can the Union be preserved.

I am an Eastern man and am speaking to Eastern men and I tell them that if I am elected Gov ernor, I shall be no Governor of the East, no Governor of the West, but a Governor of N orth Carolina.

We have said that inasmuch as the Dem ocratic party was dissolved at Baltimore, so likewise has it been dissolved in each of the States in North Carolina. Gov. Ellis, there fore, is not the nominee of the Democratic paHy he is the nominee of no party ; and Democrats would do themselves a wrong to give him their votes at the August election. What was known as the Democratic party in North Carolina, has been split into two other par&ea-x-one of which supports Stephen A. Douglas, the other John C. Breckinridge, for President. Now, which of those men will Gov. Ellis support ? He cannot go for both. . We know that he denounced the sece ders, Breckinridge's friends', in unqualified terms. Gov. Ellis, we consider, is running npon his own hook against Equal Taxation. The Solomon Hall Will Case.

It is their tall peaks heaven-ward, dividing the not our present purpose to report the case, clouds that flit through the azure above. but to offer some reflections upon its merits To the EJ'dtyrs of the "Iredell Ej:prens" : I have been informed that Gov. Ellis, at Wilkesboro', in the discussion between him self any Mr. Pool, stated that I had said, in a speech that I made in the town of Taylors ville, Alexander county, that the whigs and the whig platform were for taxing tin cup, goose-eggs, family Bible," &c, &c. So for from that being true, I stated precisely to the contrary : that no body thought of such a thing, and went on to show that the only .effeet'of tho alteration proposed, would be to allow the Legislature to tax negroes as it now has the power to tax every other spe cies of property, accoi-ding to value; and that s the members of the Legislature had to be elected by the people, the voters could tell at the ballot box what property they wanted taxed. ; I then proccedei.' to show, that if that were the case, the tax on all the poor man's tin enps, goose-eggs, ami housenolu and KKciien furniture would not amount to more than five cents, because all such property would not amount to more than $50. . Ten cents on the hundred dollars worth of property under the alteration proposed, would raise as much or more revenue than the unjust and unfair revenue bill that property holders now have to pay taxes under. It may be that Gov. Ellis, and his friends who misrepresented my speech to him? will find enough to do to attend to their own busi ness before this canvass is over. If the west ern "lior.scleeches,'" and ''karse.jockiex," don't take some of the democracy out of the Govern or, I am greatly deceived I expect to meet the voters of this district against, myself, .in a eliort time.

I have reason to believe that Gov. El lis is using all the Democratic officials of the State toauvanrre hia election Census takers Rail Road officers, Post Masters, anil everv other hanger on of place and power. Let our friends watch these characters every man of them; point them out, and denounce them Tfrbm the stump if necessary ) These fellows have a right to vote, and mav; full v express their opinions, but it is improper to lntertere in elections, and it is base and corrupt in them to use their power ant positron to eon trol votes. As a general rule, Whigs, both from manners and impral&. abstain from in terfering in election while holding bfRce. On the contrary, Locofocos alwavs do it. r Though the U. S. Marshal has the appoint ment of the Census rakers, it is Well known that Gov. Kills controls the whole of them and casting aside all recommendations and qualifications, the man is selected who will but promote his own election, and 1 regret to add, in some instances, these Census .takers are engaged in circulating the most snameful slanders and ponitions. i repeat, let our friends mark these men. ' 2d, Let us have candidates in every1 coun ty. If there be no chance of success let them canvass for Bell aad Eyerett, Pool and equal taxation. If there be no Whig candidate in the field, vote for no Democrat who is not Ad Valorem. Let this be understood throughout the State. It will encourage Ad Valorem Democrats io take a bold stand, and to come out as candidates. 3d. Let the Whig Candidates, Electors and Sub-Electors, thoroughly canvass the strong Whig counties for Mr. Pool. He must trust more or less to his friends for, this work. It is all important that he should continue with Gov. Ellis, at least through ths West He may then be able to visit a few of the Whig Counties indeed I . think it. necessary he should do so.

Washington (2V. C.) I)ispatch. ''Drowning Men Catch at Straws." And this saying is verified ati this time by the Democratic party in this State. The champion of ad valorem. is so completely using up the opponent of Equal Taxation, that every thing is' brought to bear that will in the least give the party some hope of withstand ing the change that is now taking place -in the minds of the people of this State. The last thing out is a letter from J. Parker Jordan, of Per quimons county, in answer to one from ' Elisha G. Johnson, of .Waynesville, Haywood county, N. C. - Mr John son, in writing to Mr. Jordan, says : "We have understood that Mr. John Pool, when a candidate for a seat in the State Senate, ih opposition to you, argued before the people of your dis trict that you were unioort 'Jig of East ern support, because you had 'voted, whilst a member of the House of Com mons, for the Western Extension of the N. C. Railroad," &c. . Presuming this to be true, the ques tion will arise why did Mr. Pool make the charge against Mr.. Jor.Ian that he was "un worthy of Eastern support" The-truth, of the matter h this : Jor dan, when canvassing the. county of Perquimons took very strong ground, as Ave are jnfofmed,-against appropri ations for internal improvements. ' When he went to the Legislature he forgot his pledges to his constituents and voted more widely than any mem- ber. and manyof his votes were most outrageous, thus falsifying pledges made to his.constituents. It was al so charged at; the time, that he was induced to take this- step by the pros pect ot obtaining a Judgeship, and ho was suspected of being the writer of a letter recommending himself for that position, which was published in the Standard. When Mr. Pool ran against Jordan he contrasted his professions two years before with his votes m tho Legislature, bringing up at the same time the matter of the Judgeship and the letter, and no wonder, with these things before him, that Mr. Pool said he was "unworthy of Eastern sup- port. Mr. Pool was not against him lor voting for the Western Extension,; hut for voting for appropriations for internal improvements when he had pledged himself to his constituents to go against them, not that he was con- vinoed that he was "Wrong, but because there was a prQspcct,'"if he falsified his ipledges, he might obtain a Judge ship. ' We put the question to the peo ple of this county, and ask them if a, candidate was to come before them for a seat in the Legislature and make certain pledges and then falsify themf would they consider him again worthy of their support t. We think they would not. M r. Jordan, in answering the above query, says among other things, "He (that i3 Mr. Pool) declared time; and again on the stump that he would not 8upport,if elected, any measures which in its mature would benefit the moun tain region of this State, which re quire'd an appropriation of the public money." It must be recollected that Mr. Jordan is a ,willing witness and still smarting under - the castigation which Mr. Pool gave him on the-stump, relative to his falsifying the pledges for a Judgeship in prospect, and the writing of a letter recommending him self to that position, must have stretch ed his memory and gone beyond what Was said, or else Mr. Pool is guilty of inconsistency, which is not charged a gainst him, for in the very teeth of Mr. Jordan's assertion, Mr. Pool voted in the Senate in 1856-7 for the Wilming ton Charlotte and Rutherford Rail Road, Western Extension and the Greenville andx French 1 Broad Rail Road, all to benefit the mountain re gion, and twfc at least requiring ap propriations. ' We think the reliability of this wit ness may be inferred from his conduct above stated. The evidence of a man who1 could act as Mr. Jordan has done, ought to be. received with many de grees of allowance, especially at this time, when his letter is intended to operate against Mr. Pool in the moun tain region. We are certain that in his own county ho attention would be paid to anything he "would say, for his previous course in falsifying his pledges has satisfied the people of that section that he is not reliable ; and ihisjs the man that is asked if John Pool, in the event of his eUctiony ''would be HJceTu to co-operate in good faith in developing the resources oj il . 7 A' T 1..

If his past life is an index to what he will do, the West need have no fears as to her in terests, he will favor them as he has done before-and give the lib "to all suchmaligners as the one abore has proved himself to. be.
