JVerth ''Carolina Election. The fol
lowing is iven by the Raleigh Standard
as the official vote for Governor, at the Te
ceatelection in fthis State.
Reid.
t. '; Gen. Taylor.
Gen. Taylor in his recent letter explai
ning his -position and consistency in ac
cepting air nominations, faHs into the
palpable blunder of regarding a nomina
tion and a vote as one and the same thing.
A vote given him is the act of another
person, the acceptance of a nomination
his, own act. A person giving a -vote
gives no reasons and assumes no responsi
bility; the candidate cannot enquire into
the reason or ohjeot of the voter, cannot
refuse it if objectionable, can exercise no
control over the acts or motives -of the
voter. But it is far different withanomi
nalVon 4hat is presented to him for "his ac
ceptance, his deliberation and approval;
the political characters of those offering
the nomination and. their resolutions, pro
claim their objects and wishes in making
the nomination. The opportunity is of
fered for reflection and deliberation,
and. the nominee in accepting it,
binds himself morally to aid and carry
cut the views and .objects of the nomina
tors. Indeed, nominations are invariably
male from an ascertained or supposed co
incidence of views between the candidate
- and the convention, and the silence under
such circumstances of the candidate, is a
fairjpresumption of his committal to their
views. It would be guilt and treachery
to act differently.
John Tyler's is a case in point. He
accepted of a Whig nomination, was elec
ted by tvhig votes;1 yet although his ad
ministration was in accordance with the
principles of his previous public life, yet
for , failing to carry oat the views and
wishes of those who elected him, he has
been condemned as a political traitor and
consigned to oblivion.
Gen. Taylor has accepted a whig nomi
nation, a democratic nomination, a Native
American nomination. The parties mak
ing these separate nominations, ali. have
their particular principles and purposes in
view, and Gen. Taylor could not he so
grossly blind or ignorant as not to know
it; and his acceptance of either nomination
-without a declaration or explanation of
his views is an implied and moral assent
or committal to their purposes. His sim
ple declaration that he is "a whig but not
an ultra one,'- is a mere india-rubber ex
pression that can be stretched and expand
ed to any dimension or pattern
He who seeks all nominations and all
votes, shows very prominently one princi
ple, that is thirst for office. The great
characteristic of the demagogue is to se
cure his own promotion by adapting him
self to every man's taste, to array himself
in the color of every voter and every nom
ination. The thirst for office is too strong
to "be curbed by principles of his own or
any one else.

from Buncombe and editor of Uhe High
land Messehgseems to be running wild
on the subject.- ".S ., -fi ff h C ,
The struggle; between parties in this
State, and in the United States,' is for
political power; not for sectional power.
Yet, Mr, Atkin either has not discrimina
tion enough to distinguish the difference,or
else he is guilty of the odious attempt of
seizing a proposition to extend the poli
tical rights of the people as a pretext for
proposing other measures affecting the
sectional interests of the State.
; We democrats say, let every tax payer
vote for members of both Houses of the
Assembly; and if the result is, (hat the
proportion of vhigs is greater, be it so; we
submit; we want the political opinions of
every man represented in both Houses,
and we are willing to take the chances
of its operating for or against ns. We want
the Assembly to be a fair exponent of the
political voice the people of Nordi
Carolina, whether that voice be wkigish or
democratic.
This is what the democratic party of
North Carolina means by equal suffrage, if
we understand Mr. Ueid.
But the Legislature exercises other
powers than those of a mere party nature.
One of its important duties is, to frame
laws for levying taxes for the support of
