He had long been in fa- vor of an amendment in the Constitution, so as to permit the qualified voters fo. members of the Ilou-e of Commons to vote alflo for mrmhers of l ie Senate: nn . - amendment winch would not depr.ve the freeholders of any l i-la thev exercised at nresent. but would onlv elevate an enual- Iv meritorious classof our level with themselves.

"11 11 i tion and in their purposes: and he would j r i ? v.nt..w w.m. 'wu.ucuc. cause it was suggested in certain quarters that they might do wrong. Col. Reid also alluded to the injustice and inequality which prevail as the Con stitution now stands in this respect. . , A, for; instance, owned one acre of land worth 210,000and B fifty acres worth but 50; and . yet B could vote in the. Senate while A was deprived of that privilege! Was that just? Was it equal? No Other State in the Confederacy required fifty acres of land as a qualification for an elector of the Senate; and indeed,, almost every State made no distinction whatever be tween voters for the. Commons and the Senate., The qualification required in this State wasa remnant of aristocracy; it had been borrowed from England and it ought to be lopped off. He said, hp had oeen told, by his competitor, that if this freehold qualification .were abolished we i night as well dispense with the Senate and have but one House! Why so? Was the Senate' established for ; the sole pur- about seven, P. M.-r-Coh Reid .roscUasre pose of representing land? And besides, if ply, and was greeted 1 with: loud applause, this idea advanced by his competltorwas! In;ra met Of any vhto whalever, hovV did it happen Jr- Manly on all the-iropQrtant points that where this distinction between frec-rhe vwadea 'Completely anutriy'ri- holdcrs and tton-freeliolders ! had been abolished; the in all its force, :j VVe regret our inaoilitv to do it Col. Reid's remarks on this subject. ! That he convinced many of his hearers of the soundness and truth of his positions, we have no doubt; and we 'have good; reasons for believing that the effects will be - seen in his favor, even here, in' August next, He told Ml. Manl3 in 1 the most emphatic terms, that this; principle of. ,EfluaJ;jSuf- fragc was sure to triumph in . North .CariT lina; and that it would consign the man and the party who opposed it, to perpetu- al retirement. The Vhig. leaders had for I a long time been dcelaringlhat. they werd better Democrats thanx the Democrats themselves; but if they opposed this great reform, and attempted to make a party jllue!,uon 01 the. people wouiu see !ough their conduct and pronounce their doom. Col. Reid spoke at length, ihd with animation and eloquence, upon the sib jcclsoftheMexican War the annexation ofTexas the expenses of the War. so Constantly "harped on" by Mr. Manly; and he vindicated, in a masterly manner, the Administration of President' Polk and the principles and measures of the Demo cratic party ' Mr. Manly opened his reply handsome ly, but he scon began "to" repeat his old " sianR against iur. roiK and the democratic patty.
