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

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

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

by that gentleman. What that "Plat

Col.. Reid with. a copy, but promised ta
do so pn some future occasion; but w$,
may say that, as an epitome i tif Whig
