"We have heard much from Mr McRae. and from the opposition who are sustaining him. of the na tional I oinocratic party having voted away the Mm hmds for ltailroad rjurooees. We now as- sert, ana will show by tne aaies 01 mc umtreui act.--, that no public lands have been granted to Railroads while the Democratic party has had con- : trol of the government. We quote from the offi- j oial statement made to Congress by the Secretary ! of the I titfrior at the commencement of the late session of Congress: The Illinois grant was made ' September 20,1850, 2,595,053 acres; the Missouri grant- June 10, 1852, and February 9, 1858, ! 1,815,435 acres, the Arkansas grant February 9, ' 1853, 1,405,297 acres; the Michigan grant June ; Ji, 1 -'. 3,096,000 aerca; the Wisconsin grant June 1856, 1,622,800 acres; the Iowa grant ' May 15, iv "', 3,456,000 acres; the Louisiana j grant June 3, and August 11,1850, 1,102,560 1 ... .i i: . : .: a 1 1 1 1 O'.ii i .1 T 4 .

See Annual 1 It jiort d' the Secretary of the Inte rior, 1-t pesnno 55th Congress, page 89. It will be observed that during the 31st Con gress, ending 4th March, 1?S51, the Illinois grant was made. Messrs. Badser and Mansrum, of this State, voted for it, and Mr Fillmore signed the bill. The House of Representatives was opposed to the Pemocratie party by twenty majority Mr Cohb having been elected Speaker under the "plurality rule." and receiving but 11-out of 222 Votes cast. The 3 2d Congress made grants to Missouri and Arkansas. Mr Fillmore was President and signed the bills, his te rm having expired 4th of March, 1853. Daring the 33d Congress, from March, 18ii3, to March, lf).", the Democrats had the President and both branches of Congress. The pressure for trrants was immense, but ihe above statement ; A bill making ; shows that not an acre was given. a grant to Minnesota got through in Feme way, but a fraud was discovered in it. and it was prompt ly repealed during the same session. The 34th Congress, from March, 1S55, to March, 1857, was the memorable body in which the Know Nothings controlled the House of Rep resentatives, Mr Hanks being the Speaker. This Congress grann d to States and Territories lor Rail roads, 18,371,550 acres ! Such facts as these, it seems ff us, should close the mouths of those who are cc itantly asserting that the Democratic party has squandered the public lands. Rut these facts will never be seen in Know Nothing newspapers. Mark that ! It does not suit the purpose of those journals to give their readers the "truth, the whole truth and no thing but the truth" on this question of the public lands. Rttleifjk Standard. STOCKHOLDERS MEETING. The stockholders of the N C. Railroad Com pany held their annual meeting at Ilillsboro', N. C., beginning n the 8th inst. We learn that the reports of the President and other offices gave sat isfaction; and that all the rumors which have spread abroad to the prcdjudiee of Mr Fisher, as the chief officer of the Company, were promptly met by him and proven to be false. It affords us pleasure to make this announcement; for it may be that the minds of some of his friends had been poisoned by the foul tongues of designing persons. Truth is often slow of foot, but when it does over take falsehood it never fails to send it into black ness shivering, and abashed. The following is the result of the election for four Directors. It will be seen that Mr Fisher was re-elected as one of them. At a subsequent meeting of ihe Board, he was unanimously re elected President the very best evidence a man could desire in vindication of his qualiGcations for, and fidelity to, a public trust of this nature. Vote for Directors. C. F. Fisher, R. M. Saunders, R. Gorrell, Gen. McRae, Mr. Mebane, 4,148 4,709 4,718 3,329 1,816 J. I. Shaver, 1,360 A. Hargrave, 1,261 D. A. Davis, 1,207 J. W.

Bragg to re present the State arc Messrs Bellamy, Dick, Har grave, Dortch, Cameron, Barringer, Giles Mebane and P. B. Hawkins; the two latter gentlemen in place of Graham and Poole, as heretofore stated. N. C. Mutual Life Insi ranc e Company. The ninth annual meeting of the members of ! this Company was held in Raleigh, on the oth in stant, T. AV. Dewey, of Charlotte, chosen Chair man, and Quinten Bnahee, of Raleigh, Secretary. The Board, of Directors exhibited their report, containing a .detailed account of the past year's operation:-, and the financial condition of the Com pany. At the election for a Board of Directors for the naming year, the following gentlemen were elected: Dr. Charles H Johnson, Wm. W. Holden, P. F. Peeeud, W. H. Jones, Wm. D. Cooke, Chas. B. Root, Dr. W. H. McKee, Dan'l G. Fowle, H. W. Hosted, Jno. O. WnfianW, K. P. Battle, Q. Bnahee and R. li. Battle. Immediately after the adjournment of the mem bers, the Board met, and proceeded to the election of offcera for the ensuing year, with the following result : Dr. Chas. K. Johnson, President; Wm. W. Holden, Vice President; R. H. Battle. Secretary: W. H. Jones, Treasurer; H. W neyjWra- D. McKee, M. P., Mc H listed. Atfeoi dical Examiner.

Douglas made a speech i in Chicago week before last in reply to Mr Lin- 1 coin, his black republican opponent tor tne oenaie. There were 20,000 persons present. -Mr Vc uglas ar firmed the Cincinnati platform and Mr Buchanan's Hp PTiollpd the Crittenden bill as IKIUUIUl- honest, and as the verv best proposition for the He practical illustration of popular sovereignty t .1 A. I . 1 . f , ,.---. i ti li W a C T i ir claimed tnat me craggm n "uf1"' the integrity of principle. That struggle was triumphant, and Lecomptonism was virtually aban- doned by its friends, and had been defeated for- ever. He had opposed the English bill, although practically it sent back the constitution to be ac- j cepted or rejected by the people, because the man- ner as well as the form of that submission was at j variance with every just principle of popular gov- . eminent. It was a submission of the constitution , to the people, with the threat that if they did not accept a slave constitution, its 35,000 inhabitants should not come in as a free State until it had 93,- 000. He could never countenance such a dis- crimination between free and slave States. Mr n ij ... at. t :nn'u rncQla iouf'ias rror-eeieu u answer .'ir umcuiu a vmctm. n , . . t 3 V n rnl en owniint or the I )red Scott decision. He could sanction no crusade, he said, against the highest judicial tribunal in the and, nor yet was he prepared to yield obedience to the law, as expounded by that Court. He did not a(rr0e with Mr Lincoln, that it was a great wrong to deprive a negro of the rights of citizenship. He did not believe they were ever intended to be citizens. Our government was founded on a white basis, and was created by white men. True humanity required that negroes and other inferior j races should be permitted to enjoy only such rights I and privileges as they were capable of exercising, ; consistent with the good of Society. Mr Douglas : averted to the necessity of maintaining the organ i 1 eation of the democratic party. While there might i be differences of opinion with respect to the true i construction of particular articles of the creed, i party toleration, he said must be indulged. There ; should be no proscription of sound democrats bc j cause of such differences. Government office ; holders and republicans working in unison for the i purpose of defeating the regular democratic nomi ; nations, would be like the Russians at Sebastopol, vno kept on fii ine, without caring which they hit, FrPiirh or Eno-lish.

Robert Wilson, who lived four miles above Chester, was killed by his step-son, John O. Darby. It is said that Wilson was essaying to hand-cuff his wife, Darby's mother, and take her upstairs for the purpose of cow-hiding her, when Darby, who is a young man of about nineteen years old, and lived in the family, interfered and was attacked by Wilson with a drawn Bowie knife. Darby retreated from the house and round it, Wil- son following him closely, with fell intent, when i ever been my opinion of your cheap, simple, labon Darby again entered the house, jerked up a loaded organization. Permit me, sir, to say to you and shot 'gun and discharged the contents into the i this arniJ of Christ's ambassadors' here, as he breast of Wilson, killing him instantly. Of course i cast nis piercing blue eyes over the Conference, liquor had a large share in this most deplorable the.Y caught the recognizing glance of the Rev. business. Darby surrendered himself to the au- i Cornelius Evans. The Speech was forgotten, thorities. Wilson has been the guardian of Darby ' Captain Evans rose trom his seat. Gen. Jackson up to the present term of the Court of Equity, when his letters of guardianship were revoked at the instance of the young man himself. This may have stimulated Wilson in his assault on Darby. Darby was released on bail. Health of Ex-President Pierce and Lady. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Boston says: "The friends of Ex-President Pierce will be glad to learn that by a late arrival by ship from Maderia tidings have been received from him. His own health was perfect. The health of his excellent wife had been improved by her sojourn in the island, but the causes of her sickness were not removed. They were to leave Maderia on the first of June, for Lisbon; thence avoiding the larger European cities, for Vevay, in Switzerland, where he will spend the summer. Mr Nathaniel Hawthorne and Mr John Howard March will be with him in Switzerland, I hear. The period of his stay in Europe will be controlled bv the health of Mrs. Pierce. A Lady One Hundred and Fourteen Years Old. There is an old lady now living in the town of Blooming Grove, Orange county, N Y., by the name of Diana Brooks. She is one hundred and fourteen years old, and yet is intelligent and active, and walks half a mile to church every Sabbath. She was thirty-two years of age when tho Declara tion oi Independence wa made. We believe that Mrs. Brooks is the oldest person now living in the United States. The Next President. The following gentle men have already been named in connection with the next Presidency: Howell Cobb, Senator Bright, Senator Hunter, of Virginia, Senator Cameron, of i Pennsylvania, Speaker Orr, John Slidell, Senator j Brown, of Mississippi, Postmaster General A.

I WESTEEN DEMOCRAT, C HAELOTTE, TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION. A correspondent of the Spirit of the Age gives a glowing description of the Temperance celebra- tion near Charlotte on the 3d inst. We extract the following There were at least three thousand people in at- ifi.ua.nce, a iari;e uiuiwi nun ui nuum nwie uic i,u. . 1 - 1 .1 e matrons and maidens of our eountv. Seven Divis ions of the Sons turned out in Regalja, attended by their Lady Visitors, and the Cadets of Temper ance of Charlotte. Col. W. M. Grier acted as Marshal, assisted by Col. B. W. Alexander and Silas Alexander, Esq. At half past 9 o'clock the procession was formed in the following order: Orators of the day. Lady Visitors of each Division. Charlotte Section Cadets of Temperance. Mecklenburg Division. Hopewell Division. Pleasant Hill Division. White Hall Division. Big Spring Division. Mallard Creek Division. The procession being formed, was marched to the stand, and the exercises commenced by singing , r. . ,.. , , ,. j j the Opening Ode of the toous, followed by a praver r Jr. from Rev. Mr. Rumple. Professor Sterling, our noble P. G. W. P., was then introduced to the immense audience, whom he addressed in a learned, entertaining and forci ble manner. I do not feel competent to give the merest synopsis of his excellent address, and shall not attempt it. Suffice it to say he well sustained his high reputation as being one of the ablest Champions of our Order. Prof. 8. was followed by Rev. Mr Rumple, who entertained the audience till dinner was announced. The dinner was a sumptuous and bountiful one, of which all present were invited to partake. Great as was the throng, there was ''enough for each enough for all." Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the getters up of this magnifi cent repast. After dinner, the Rev. Mr Nicholson addressed the people. He is a fine speaker, and his timely and cogent reasoning must have produced a lasting impression upon his hearers. The anniversary will long be remembered; one such everv year would greatly conduce to the ad vancement of our (riorums cause I noticed that nearlv everv Division had a hand- " ...... some Banner. The one carried bv old Mecklen burg Division was worn and dust-covered. On one side, the inscription was. ''We have come through tj)C war Qn the reverse '-Principles before Prosperity." GEN. JACKSON IN A METHODIST CONFERENCE. It was in the autumn of 1837, and after the . venerable man had returned from Washington to , the Hermitage. He had laid aside all the cares of life, and, devoting his thoughts to religious mat ters, was patiently awaiting the summons to rejoin his sainted Rachel in the better land. The Metho dist Conference was in Session at Nashville, and ! some hundred and fifty ministers were in atten I dance. Some of them were men of eminence, ability, and learning, and some of them of less pre j tensions; but the body was not only respectable, but it wielded a moral powor second to no other I body of men in the State. Jackson was personal ! ly acquainted with some of the members, and had always admired the zeal and usefulness of the itine : rant ministers in that church; but he had never I been present at the session of a Conference, and i desired much to attend one. Accordingly, a time was set for his visit, and the venerable sasre : and hero entered the Conference leaning upon the arm of the Hon. H. R. W. Hill, of Louisiana. I Mr Hill introduced the great man to the Bishop and the Conference, and the narrator remarks : "After such a bow of recognition as only Jack ! son could make, he turned to the Bishop in the ' chair, and said, Reverend and venerable sir, allow j me to say to you, I hail this as one of the most sublimely impressive and spirit-stirring occasions of my whole life. It has given me a more intensely affecting view of the wisdom, strength and adapt : edness of your noble self-sacrificing apostolic itine rancv, than I ever before conceived, high as lias pressed towards nun ; instantly tne old soldiers were in each other's embrace weeping for joy, and the whole Conference flooded with tears. "Evans was one of the bold and hardy moun taineers who came with Jackson to the wilds of Alabama, to fiht the Indians after the terrible slaughter at Fort Mims. He was Captain of a company from the 'War Trace' Fork of the Cum berland River: as brave a spirit as the General, and was wounded at the memorable battle of Tal ledega, and sent home, as it was believed, to die. Twenty-four years had passed away, during which the General supposed the intrepid Captain was dead. But he had lived in the mountains of Ten nessee, poor and unknown, till, late in life, having forsaken the path of sin, the Son of Mary had made him a Soldier of the Cross. "Twenty-four years had made a great change in the General as well as the Captain Both had ex- changed the delusive pleasures of sin for the reli gion of the people of God; and the General was now a staid and exemplary Presbyterian, and the Captain a useful and zealous itinerant Methodist preacher. Both of them had laid aside the follies j and ambitions of this life; had left the thing that ; were behind, and were pressing hard for a higher ! and brighter prize than earth can give. They who had successfully fought the enemies of their conn try, were now fighting the good fight of faith in j view of the crown of eternal life. "All were sorry to miss the glorious old hero's i well begun speech, but glad to see the meeting of the two war-worn soldiers, and hear their tearful and glad recognition after so long a separation. ! Jack son never forgot the features of one of his valiant soldiers, or failed to recognize the face of j an old friend. "At the close of the Conference. Evans went j from Nashville to the Hermitage, where lie spent ' several days; and from that time forward he rode upon a finer horse, and wore finer clothes than the ; soldier preacher from 'War Trace' had been aceus tomed previously to wear." A ho pan read this incident, Pro. F., fsavs Rev. J. G. Johnson, to whom we are indebted for this incident) without feeling a warmer attachment to the noble old hero, and a higher admiration for his virtues? The scene presented when those venora- j ble and true-hearted men rushed into each other's j arms, was one on which an angel might look with pleasure, and one we would have given much to ! witness. It was a scene well calculated to move their coronets above, where friendship shall mature in the light of a purer s-kv, and wars And discord? will Us Jinowii no more, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Italy, The Prince" Royal of Sicily had been married to the Dutchess Maria of Bavaria. Spain. Spain is much incensed against Eng land on the slave trade. A London letter to the New York Commercial mentions a report from France that the Emperor had notified Spain that although England h;is threatened to leave her to her fate on the Cuban question he will support her to the last. LATER FROM MEXICO. By an arrival at New Orleans, advices from Vera Cruz to the 26th nit. has been received. Mr Forsyth, the American minister, had not de manded his passports, as had been reported, but still remained at the capital awaiting instructions from Washington. The British and French merchants had resolved to pay the forced loan upon imports, as demanded ! by the government, but would only do so under I J o i protest. The dates from Yucatan are to the 80th. The government had imposed a duty of fifty cents on the barrel upon foreign and home flour, from the 18th of August. A terrible earthquake was experienced through out the country on the 18th, destroying a large amount of property and causing the loss of nearly fifty lives, besides a great many wounded. At the capital several buildings were thrown to the ground. The shock is represented in the pa- j pers to have been the most severe of any that has ! occurred for the past fifty years. The vomito had made its appearance among the ! troops at Vera Cruz, but with the exception of this, the country was generally heatthy. Charlotte Railroad. One of the editors of DeBow's Review has been recently travelling over this road, and pays it and its management the fol lowing well deserved compliment: "Having been a passenger myself on these roads, I can cheerfully state, that the roads are in the best order, and that their conductors are gen tlemanly and polite. With regard to the coaches, 1 found them handsomely furnished, of the newest style, comfortable, and commodious. Ibis line of road passes over an elevated and healthy country, free from swamps, mosquitoes, tressels, and is as expeditious as any other line, passing by Colum bia, the capitol of South Carolina, the most beauti ful city of America, with its elegant society and splendid gardens, and is, in the language of Gov ernor Brown, the Postmaster Gentr.d, 'the city of philosophy and flowers.' "It leads also by Charlotte the birth-place of American Independence; by Greensboro, where formerly stood the Guilford Court House, the sight of the hard battle between Lord Cornwallis and Gen. Greene the decisive conflict of the American Revolution; and by Raleigh, the capitol of North Carolina, known as the city of The Oaks, named after the graceful cavilier of Queen Eliza beth's Court At Sugar ( -reek, the dividing line of North and South Carolina, I was pointed to the birth-place of Ex-President Jas. K. Polk, and in formed that Gen. Andrew Jackson, the hero of the battle of New Orleans, was born in the Wax haw Settlement, thirteen miles east of that point." Sale of a great Public Work. A despatch from Philadelphia dated July 11, says : The Sandusky and Erie Railroad Company has just effected a sale of the Delaware division of the Pennsylvania canal, extending from the Delaware river at Bristol, to Easton, for the sum of one million seven hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, the payments to be seventy-five thousand dollars in cash, four hundred thousand dollars in ten equal monthly payments of forty thousand dollars in eight per cent preferred stock, and twelve hundred thousand in six per cent bonds. The purchasers are a company of private citizens. How to Preserve Beauty.
