Tho statement that AViishington was a Republican whose theory that of a balanced Republic," whilst Jeffereon was a radical Democrnt, cloes not at all militate against our former position. Each ook a different method to attain the same end. Each was in favcr of popular suffrage.

Each acknowledged the right of the people to direct the affairs of the government. Each was in favor of the abolition of human slavery. Each, in his own way, was a true patriot and true friend, to the people. Each would have resisted to the last any attempt to disrupt the Republic. These are the principles of the Republican party of to-day.

Thus we were right in saying that the principles of the Republican party are the same as professed by' Washington and Jefferson. The Worth State further says, drawing its deduction from its pre-assumed position, that the Standard has at length informed the old Whigs that they can not join the Republican party without sacrificing their principles. The Standard has made no', such assertion. If the old Whigs'- are true to the government of their fathers -if they believe in the right of the people to rule if they are opposed to any aud all attempts to disrupt the Republic if they endorse the fundamental principle of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created free and they will have to sacrifice no principle to join the Republican party, for these are Republican principles. All men.

whatever their color, social condi- tion, who support these principles, the Republican party invites to co-operate with it in its efforts to defend government and to benefit the people. Raleigh Co-Operative Land and Building Association. The homes of the people are the centres of their affections, the promoters of peace and good government, and the foundation of their patriotism. The State cannot exist without the family, nor the family without home. Volumes have been written upon the virtues springing from happy homes, but the half has not been and cannot be said.

Any means which will aid the poorer people of the country to secure comfortable homes becomes a matter ot immense importance to the community. Crime will be lessened thereby, the family will be protected, population will more rapidly increase, and protecting tbe dear spot every man is a citizen soldier, and it becomes the citadel of nation's liberties. The Raleigh Co operative Land and Building Association was organized for tbe purpose of loaning money to aid men to buy houses and lots who could not obtain them by their own unaided efforts. The Legisla ture granted a charter at its last session, and the association organized under it in March last. The par value of the shares of the cap ital stock is $200 each, and payment for the shares is in monthly assessments of one dollar per month per share.

This brings the stock within the reach of the poorest labor The association is to run until lhfr shares, by the accumulation of monthly payments, and interest upon money loaned, makes the shares actually worth $200 each. The owner of each sharers entitled to borrow $200 from the association at six percent interest, payable monthly. The capital is derived from the monthly dues; and the custom is to loan the money received at each monthly meeting to the highest bidder in sums of $200. When the share has reached par value ot $200, it is exchangeable for borrowed it will be taken for its true value at any time the maker wishes to pay his note. The person who borrows money, first se lects tbe property he desires to purchase, and submits that to the inspection of the directors; anJ if they think it advisable for Association to loan money upon it, they submit the title to legal counsel, and if the title is found good, the Association purchases the property and takes a deed in trust for the member who borrowed the money, guaranteeing that when he has paid principal and interest of his note he shall receive the title to the property in fee simple.

"J5r Though th0 company has been organized two months and held three monthly meetings, about 500 shares have already been sold, and $1400 have been loaned at per cent. With this money houses are provided for three poor men, who probably would never have been able to pay for them without this assistance. One man owning shares has borrowed $400 and bought a house. His monthly dues will be on his shares $2, and interest on the borrowed money $2, making $4 a month, a less sum than he would pay rent for a place like the he now occupies and in a few years stock will pay the principal of the note, the house will become his own. Thus member of the Association, by paying a monthly, equal to his usual house rent, have immediate possession of the house live in, and at the end of a few years will a house of bis own.

The limits of this article will not allow a extended outline of this co-operative system. The plan has been for years in successful operation in many cities in the North and in Europe. Another similar company has commenced business in Raleigh one in Newbern; and we hope steps ere long be taken to secure the benefits co-operation to the pooi every wrn in the. State. Let intelligent men hold of the subject, and by a little effort thousands, of families can be provided homes in a few years.

The gratitude the people will be awarded to those who jlead in the movement a of; to in be of in to its let the the too for tle the his will Our be be will ever and to the but a hence While ihe JDemipere in this State are matins: themselves ibarsa with eroakipg PBpellinS immignrtioi, demwrncing dustry nd cdactioi wpjen-r. needs, find forestalling p8perjtyiUhere, comes us from Souttf CarTrfiBiCa voiceW wisdom nd counsel, which shows: that reason fms nr. fnr.iken itirelv the minds of some1 of our leading men, and that pru Col. W. L.

Trenholm, President of the Charleston Rnnrri nV Trade, on retiring from hrs position, made a mosksignificant and in-. tercstltfg speech, in which reviewea feange alone could we have been saved from decay by change alone" could we havebeeri brought to the threshold of the destiny now opening before us a'nd that it Tsh soWce of; congratulation that we' have escaped decay, and that we," even in our own time, are able to see that our past has not been in vain." Col. T. holds that slavery has effected a healthy conservatism at the South, but now that it is removed there is no reasonable, inseparable barrier, to the harmonizing of the national character. Before the war we stood tdo widely opposed in" all the relations of life for all our various qualities to now the quick intellect and the fertile invention of the East, the largo aims and broad culture of the North, the restless spirit and.

boundless ambition of the West, the conservative tenacity and intrepid courage of the South, will all become inter woven, and form one substantial rand well defined American national character." With: regard to the future individual interests of the South apprehension is expressed. He says, however, apart from reason and intellect, many of us are held back by' a sentiment which all must respect, but to which none ought to yield our destiny is not our own to make or mar as we like, but we must conform to the requirements of our times and move to the cadence of the great march of the world." The institutions, ttie laws, the manners of the past, have subserved their purpose and fulfilled their destinyi, God inspired them, God has changed them. What is man that he should icontend with the Almighty The present task of the South is declared to be, to explore our new circumstances, to discover their resources, and to appro priate the benefits." To this task we must bring courage and patience, minds unfettered by prejudice, and eyes nndazzled by authority; we must be intrepid enough to give offence to igno rance, wc must forget to defer to servility, wc must learn to respect energy and make use of jour youth. Let the young men and the brave lead our van let the true and tbe wise direct our counsels let the infirm and the timid follow in safety in the rear. Thus and thus only we advance, thus and thus only can we achieve.

Want of space forbids extended extracts from this remarkable speech. The follow ing paragraphs however, must not be over looked. The speaker has been noting the obstacles to immigration which have heretofore ex-isted and says With the extinction of slavery the South presents to immigrants an entirely different aspect; Our native population, no longer migratory, is already beginning to find the country too large, and to conjecture how immigration can be reconciled with conser vatism. Our foreign-born citizens, few in number, but intelligent and prosperous, are earnestly and actively engaged in inviting their countrymen to try their fortunes here, while the attitude towards immigration assumed by our newly enfranchised classes reflects infinite credit alike upon their good sense and their patriotism, and entitles them participants, throughout the future, in the benefits of a broad and liberal public policy Let us everywhere in the South yield to this impulse of the times. The great popular mind has fastened upon immigration as the foremost measure of thedav, and its ul timate triumph admits of no question but many a private circle, in many an ancient coterie, doubts and apprehensions are still entertained.

Many an empty privilege many a useless custom the lumbering rubbish which collects in old communities-may be borne away upon this vigorous flood. Some venerable and worthy relics, may lost but it is better to lose the relics antiquity than to make no bequests to posterity. Tbe past did its duty and is dead; but we live upon its works. Let us likewise do our duty that our children may turn live upon ours. "Fling wide your doors to immigration and compel them to come in not barbarians be ibtasts of burden, but intelligent, thrifty, liberty-loving men, and healthy, industrious and virtuous women.

Welcome all alike, whether they be laborers or capitalists, artizans or merchants. Establish just laws and watch jealously over their impartial administration see that labor is assured of earnings that property is made sacred; that wealth is effectually guarded against public and private assault. Let the inviolability of the person and the sancitity of human life receive the most impressive sanction of our courts let the public peace be maintained with the truncheon of the policeman, and" 'not? the bayonet of the soldier; the public expenditures be directed to ends of good government and not to nourishment of party.

Our soil is too accessible and too fertile, and our climate pleasant and healthful to be passed by the distant and' inhospitable which alone now offer public lands to the immigrant.

The inducements South holds out to this class are sufficient to bring them without other invitation, the people of the South owe it to hem-selves meet the comers in a manly spirit. It would be unworthy of ris to take mercenary view of such a question, and I say nothing of expediency but it I luvi una rwvii hu 1 our ist our for bad as We got is John from 19th witr Den come tofttfosemWaros personally woftby itL whether they with us or nst vanauisnea aiiae wno nave so conspicuous iuihm.u courage of our ancestors, neednot be asham- cd of emulating their generosity."

We Kail this as a brighf omen of better days.

Reventje Decisioks r-David AI' Jenkins; Esol. Public Treasurer, has made the follow ing Decisions on the Revenue act passed Icomnh ut ita litj fioasinn, UVUCIUI ft.X7V1JU,(7 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. Treasury Department, Maleigh May 5, 1869. Wm. M.

Assessor, Whiteville, n. Yours of April 29th received and I reply to your question seriatim. 1. The proviso of of, paragraph 5, Sec, 14, of the Act to collect Revenue, is ex press that no more than $200 in behalf of any tax' payer shall be exempted. Iwo Hundred Dollars worth of "arms for muster, meaning apparel for the use of the owner and his family, household and kitchen fur niture, mechanical and agricultural implements of mechanics and farmers, libraries and scientific instruments" are exempt and under tins plainly: -arms ior mus ter and wearing apparel" are a part of tbe $200 2.

Merchants pay cax in two ways Jnrst, they pay an ad valorem tax on their proper ty, no matter whether invested in merchandise or not, on hand 1st April. Secondly, they pay for the privilege ofcarrying on bu siness as merchant, a license tax, equal to one-fifth of one per cent on the estimated amount of purchases. The merchant must list his property to the Assessor. He must pay his license tax directly to the i Sheriff and ac count with hnu. The mode of doing the atter is pointed out in sec.

15, Schedule B. No merchant ought to complain of this ouble mode of taxation. The tax on pur chases is only one-fifth of one per which is far less than it was in 1860, when it was one-half of one per cent. It would be unconstitutional to exempt the merchant from the property tax. He does not pay on his net income derived from merchandizing, as the property from which it is derived is taxed.

So keepers of billiard tables, pay a property tax on the tables, and a license tax for using them. 3. Under clanse 7, section 12, all other personal property is taxed, which is not specially mentioned in the preceding paragraph. For example, billiard tables, playing cards, pistols, pleasure carriages, turpentine and whiskey stills, not affixed to the soil, So merchandise of all kinds must be taxed ad valorem under this section, as it would be unconstitutional exempt merchandize from the property tax. The tax on "pur chases" schedule is a license tax, and is for the privilege of carrying on the busi ness.

4. In estimating income, that derived from property otherwise taxed cannot be estimated. Hence, farmers pay no income tax, unless they have income from other sources than their farms. Yon desire some illustration of paragraph 4, sec. 1, class 2, of schedule A.

Take the case of a physician. He might deduct the expense of keeping his horse, repairs ot his DUggy or oiuer veuicic useu in aiienuing his patient, rent of his office, if he does not own it, hire of a servant, if necessary, to take care of his horse, the average wear and tear of his vehicle and team. He could not deduct the cost ot his own food, or the hypothetical value of his own time and labor. He is allowed $1000 for family expenses, if he expends tbatmucb, but uo more. From the net income thus derived must be de ducted $500 (See sec.

8, page 21.) 5. Lawyers are taxed on net income de rived from their profession. Those commencing practice for the first time pay $15 for tbe privilege. They pay no other li cense tax. 6.

I find no authority for Assessors re- quiring a list of credits, when the debts exceed the credits. 'If an Assessor suspects that a tax paver isundcr estimating his cred its, I think he has a right to cross examine him in order to get at the truth, and thus make hint mention what credits he has. But you will notice that the taxpayer, in para graph 5, section 12 of the act to collect Revenue, is only tiound to list the amount of his credits1 not each credit in detail. That would, in many cases, be an interminable job. Very ICespecttnlly, D.

A. JENKINS, Public Treasurer. The Standard says a reward has been of fered for the two best looking editors in the United States, and modestly suggests that Bernard of the Star and the Standard man, whoever be is, are tbe boys. Now, centlemen of the Standard and Star, you cau't com-ct over the Messenger in that way, you Know, ine aamiring irienas oi senior, in ins absence, win assert his claims, for you must remember that the Messenger man is "the handsomest journal of the Carolinas."

Vogeil, Superintendent of Education for this State has received a new appointment from the Secretary of War, and remain in charge of the Educational utment of the Freedmen'a Ttnrwn vith' headquarters at Raleigh. MY ymm sis "After tho Revolution, tne iraxnciaai sionsv which had arrayed vvmg against TprYabanished from the heroic nreasis or victors ancr wo hA by in xl in is of at his of on the paper has responded to our wish that newspapers unq Dime wiuui ws-f litical discussions in a fair and candid man-neo We think nearly every paper in State will agree with us that "the bitterness and acrimony which has characterized the tone of the North Carolina papers has not only operated against the interests or ine State, but has been far from adding to the good character oJ the press. How this spirit came to pervade tbe press and people it is unnecessary to state in detail. Suthceitto say that it was one of the results of the war. That it has too long influenced -the press and society, every thinking man will admit.

It then is the duty ot the press to use its utmost endeavors tod away with that which is known to lie oiwrating against every nterest of our State. We do not expect to find the whole of the Democratic press ready to adopt this mode of action, and know that some of them will sneer at the idea, but we think that many of the leading journals will be willing to do that which thejiknow will ereatlv add to the prosperity of the State, and promote a better state of political ana social feeling. The article below is from the Goldsboro' Messenger, and if it foreshadows the course of that paper under its new management, we think it has set an example to the press ol its party of which it may well oe proud. It is in answer to the following ex tract from the Standard 'Let all wranglings and senseless resentments be done away with, and every man and woman clo all in their power to build up the South, and to conduce to the general good. The labor of love once commenced, the bitter leelings engendered by the war will disappear like magic.

The strife of party will be only to prove which can do the uist to build up North Carolina, and to place her in the proud position which she should occupy. Let the efforts of little one- idead malignant partisans to produce strife be overcome by the disapprobation ot a people whose only thought is the common good. Then will the true prosperity ot the Old North State be refrained, and the hap piness of the people Standard. Coming from the leading and most influ ential Republican paper of the State, the ithovc words are refreshing, and in endorsing them, as we most heartily do, we wel come such expressions of cool judgment and good taste, with pleasure we cannot con vey in words. Upon the newspaper press of North Cam lina, religious and secular, without respect to sect or party, depends the prosperity and greatness ot the Mate, and nothing can re tard that prosperity more than the senseless wrangling ol a partisan press; nothing ail vance such prosperity better than the com bined efforts of our presses to encourage and instruct the people in the industrial arts an the development ot the natural resources which have been lavished on our State with 60 munificent a hand.

Let us discuss the politics of the country, and the policy of Government, State und Nation, in a fair, candid and dignifie 6pirit. Let our different opinions be ex pressed in language and tor.e becoming men, and "dismiss as unworthy of discus sion every subject that will not bear logi cal discussion." The press of this country has descended to low personal abuse, until its influence at home is materially weakened, while it but excites the pity and contempt of strangers abroad. Cannot the press ot North Carol na teach American journalism lesson here as wholesome to the profession as it must prove profitable to the people? We know it can, and for the Democratic press wc undertake to say it will, if the opposition win meet us nan way." We now say that wc will meet any or all of the Democratic papers in a spmt of fair ness and good will. We will discuss polit ical issues, State or National, in a fair and candid manner. If we indulge in personal ities it will be in a sportive manner, without one particle of malice.

If we get a chance to give a fair hit we shall give it. If any other paper gives us a fair hit we will take it in all possible good humor, and will do our "level best" to pay them back. If this platform suits, let those who wish to con duct discussions accordingly specify their intentions, and we will meet them half way. The Standard is willing to do all in its power to give a better tone to public feel ing, and, if its overtures are rejected, will at least have the consciousness that it has acted in the manner most for the benefit of tbe State and the dignity of tbe press. As tbe 8tattdard claims to be on the side of the people, and tells us that all the negroes are on ono side, and that five-sixths of the whites on tbe other, will it tell ns which race now com prise the people of the South, the white or the negro Which do you belong: to.

Mr. Stakh. ard, me white or the nigger people WiruUm Sentinel. We recognize no distinction of color when we say "the people." By tbe laws of the land every man is a ci.izen of the United States. without regard to color.

We do not belong to the white or colored people. We belong to t.he trhnlA nennla rinlo.n to the tc hole people, regardless ot race or color. while we defend the people against the attacks of blood sucking aristo crats you will find that the people are with us. We appreciate your efforts to create a I division among the people, for yon feel that your mongrel party is being broken up but we tell you that your efforts will fall, and the people, the' whole people, will redeem North Carolina from the ruin Democrats have wrought, by supporting the Republi can party. The better men of the mongrel Democracy are leaving it by thousands, and it will soon be a thing of the past.

Perhaps by that time some of these ancient barnacles will find out who and what the people are. The editors of the Wilmington papers were given, by Col. Davis of tbe Purcell House, the first "square meal" they have had for several, months. Their joy thereat is extremely comical.
