THE P Ly3 L I fJ L A N D 3 -In both Houses of Congress, tbere are now pending propositions fur excessive grants of Pub lic 'Lands to some of lite Norlh-Western States one to Iowa of 1,800,000 acres for, a rs il road there another of upwards of two millions for a road in Missouri ; besides various other projects, which will require eight or ten millions more. Ii will alio be recollected thii Senator Douglas w Loin the "Standard,'1 at the same time that it professes to be an uneoui promising advocate of Stale Rights, prefers above all others for the Pre sidency. obtained, last winter, the passage of a bill, which granted to llliuois the alternate sec tions upon the lines of its great Central Rail Road a rJad running from its South western limits to the ceutre, and there throwing off two branches, one to the Northwe t and the other to the Norih- .:4St, jo as to net over a large portion of the SUte. The number of acres thus granted was several millions, and as rich as any soil in the world. At the lowest calculation, it is computed that it could. uot be worth les than five dollars per acre, thus ui.ik tig a gift from the public treasury to the State ot Illinois, of some fifteen millions of dol l.us. To put a stop lo this fatal monopoly, aided and abetieu, as it has been, tor electioneering purpo ses, by a number of the Loco" Foco asp. rants for the Presidency, an amendment w'as borne time since proposed in the Senates by Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, to the Iowa Bill, granting to the old States, on tiie basis of their Federal representation,-such an amount ol'l md to each, as will bring them up to the maximum of the grants already made to the most favored States of the Went. .The 'Standard, wc say, professes to be a State Rights paper. Is it in favor of ibis proposition to put Noilb Carolina on a level with those of her sisters who have been so hugely favored ; or is it content to seeftc7 deprived of those rights which are so justly her due, and lo see other Slates ad vauccd at her expense ! We need not, however, ask ihe question; for we alre.tdy have it satisfactorily answered in the course of t tie L -co Foco majority in ibe Senate of i he last Legislature of this- State. Ou the 28th of January, 1351, the following engrossed Resolu tious, asking of Congress the equitable share of North Carolina in the Public Lands, were read : "Whereas, the Public Domain of: the United States is the common property of all the Slates, purchased and procured by the common efforts and common treasure of I hose Stales, and in which each auii all are fairly entitled lo participate ; and, any appropriation of ihe public lands to particular Slates lor special and particular purposes in those Slates, is create e of unequal, unjust and impro per d scnminaiions in the use of a common tund ; and, w (areas, the precedent has been made aud the practice recently obtained in the Congress of the United Slates, ol granting immense donations oi tne public lands to particular estates lor purpo es of improvement, and whereas, the Stale of iNorth Carolina in Ihe spirit of generous pal no is in and datemal fee;ing, ceded lo the General Gov ernment, a large and valuable portion of the pub lic territory aud is therefore upon every principle of justice, equality and sound policy, fairly and Ifgiiiuiutely entitled to her equal share of the Public lands. Therefore, Resolved, That our Senators and Representa tive in Conuress be requested to make spplica - lion to that body for an appropriation lo the State of North Carolina of a fair and eqaiubla portion of the public lauds, which when so appropriated, shall he applied to purposes of Internal Improve ment and public education, tn relief of live Treasury and public burdens, to that amount. A motion was made to lay said Resolutions oh tkt table, akd carried by the following (strictlt ?artt,) vote : Aires Messrs. Barrow, Berry, Bower, Banting, G. W. Caldwell, Clarke, Collins, Drake, Her ring, Hester, Hoke, Jones, Nixoii, Rogers, Sher rod, Speight, Thompson, Watson, Williamson and Watt 2o. Noes Messrs. Arendell, Bond, By num. T. R.

I Iu order, properly, to get at the merits of this ote, and to show in iu true colors the blind and suicidal policy that this Loco Foco majority would adopt, we propdle, briafly, (M we have done on a. former occasion,) to review ihe stte of parties. aa it has heretofore existed in this Country, with reference to this question. It is well known that as a Party, the Loco Foe is have ever been opposed to a fair and equitable division of the Public lands, or the proceeds aris jag from their sale, amongst all the States, ac cording to the intention and spirit of the deeds of .cessiou. The policy upon whieh they proposed iu plant themselves, was, that the land fund should be applied towards defraying the expeuses of the National Government. By the success of this . policy, millions of dollars were diverted from the. old States, which, in the end, contributed but lit tl towards the support of Government, but fell into the hands of dishonest public officers, or was appropriated to schemes of improvement wnich benefitted the new States, aud placed them in a situation, more effectually, to drain the eastern or Atlantic section of the Union of its population and wealth. Mr. Bennett stated, in a Speech nude ia Ihe HJlise of Representatives, some days since, that nearly as much of these lands have been given away as have been sold. E,giity-four uiillions of acres have been granted to twelve new Slates and territories, and only about one hun- ared, a,ud one' cpillipns have been sold! Now this policy the policy .which deieaed Mr. Clay's land bill, and which the Loco Foco party in the Senate of this State have virtually reaffirmed Volume LIII. had, at least, the appearance of justice and equal9 ity, and our People, the Democratic portion, if none others, were pleased with the argument, which was so deceptive, that, as the.proceeds ot the public lands went into the National Treasury, therefore :hey contributed to lessen our own taxes, and prevented, what was of so much horror to them, a protective Tariff. Under such reason ing, and under the drM of party, through a long course of years, the Atlantic States have been de prived of their just share of the proceeds of the Public lands Had Mr. Clay's land bill been per mined to become a law, and not bee (testified in the manner in which it was, had the Whig policy on this subject been adopted as the settled policy of the country, there are States which Would have received incalculable benefit from it, (and none more than North Carolina,) and there would have been no injustice done to any. . . Bat things bat patlj banged in fe y By the rapid increase, in political power; of the Western and Northwestern States, they have con ceived the idea and, if one is to judge from the course of their Representatives in Congress, have become fixed in the resolution, to appropriate the whole ot this vast public property to their own exclusive use. Judging from vhat has taken place in Congress within a - lew weeks past, we are forced to the -conclusion that the policy and determination of the "growing West" will be to appropriate the whole of these lands for their own benefit It makes, in the end, but little difference how this is done, whether by lorcing the proceeds into their Treasuries, or giving the lands awav to settlers, for, in either ease, their own wealth and political power will be increased. Any policy by which this vast sourceol wealth to the States may be appropriated to the use and advancement of one seciion of the Union, to the exclusion of another, trifl be the.grossesl iiijustice. And yet here was a simple proposiiion assert ing our riglns, in reference to this common pro perty, snd claiming the equitable share therein lo which we are entitled, by every consideration of justice and fa ir dealing, a proposition looking, too, to ihe reduction of our Slate taxes, and to the building np of those two greai pillars of State prosperity. Edhcatiok and Iktersal Improve- wests voted down in the Senate of North Car olina bv "Democrats"' by men ho so recently shoo ed forth on all occasions, What teas gained by Ike ecmnion blood and treasure, should go to the common v$e and benefit" They defeated this proposition, and, thereby, contributed to weaken the exertions of ihe Representatives from the old States in Congress, in behalf of our rights ! Has a single journal of that Party raised its voire against such a suicidal act ! Have we heard any of them shouting "common use and benefit should follow the expenditure of common blood and trea sure ?" On the contrary, ihey are preparea to justify as ar as 1'iey. can, this act fif injustice to our State, by which the efforts which arc going on to deprive us ol our property will be encouraged, and onf people wronged! W ia, put iatctni this subject shall rest. Had not the "Standard," instead of indulging its unmeaning and sillyVasts as to the' "effect the Administration of Gov. Reid has had upon the sale of State Bonds," die .better tura it? attention to the 'effect" the appropriation ot our legitimate share of the Public Lmds by theGenerul.Gov eminent would have iu "relieving our Treasury and public burdens V At nil events, we hope to hear that paper speak out in the matter. . GREAT WEBSTER MEETING IN NEW YORK. On a c.all signed by upwards often thousand citizens ot the city of New York, a meeting was held on the evening of ihe 5th, iq the great Me tropolitan Hail, for :he purpose of nominating the Hon. Daniel Webster for the Presidency of ihe unrtea oiaies. me - viuiuerciai Ameinsci of the following day says : Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, there was a larse and noble gathering of the Whigs of this cby last evening at the Metropolitan Hall, in response lo ihe public call, tor a parly aemoo- stration in lavor ot the Hon. UaHiEt. w ebster as the Whig nominee lor ihe Presidency. It lakes an army of men to fill that building wnen the settees are removed from the ground fl.xr ; yet at the commencement of ihe meeting ibe floor was two thirds occupied, and both galleries were completely full. - At eight o'clock crowds were still pouring into the hall, and daring the meeting three-fourths ol the vast area ol the grouna noor were occupied by closely-compacted ranks of men. while Ihe galleries and passages and the laroestao-e were densely crowded. We should put down lour thousand (lersous as a very lair and moderate calculation." 'yln'Address, urging Mr. Webste's great c im op-n the American People, was unanimously adopted, and its reading interrupted by spontane ous bursts of applause at every mention of Mr. Webster's name and at the eloquent allusions to hia transcendent greatness and patriotism The "Standard' asserts that "no .

CABKAtG4ZTfi; RALEIGH, N. C, MARCH 17, GEN.

Our city was thrown inlo great excitement tu's morning by the perpetration 0f one of the most wful tragedies we have ever been called upon as journalists to record. The facts, so flir as we could ascertain, are as follows: About half past five o'clock this morning fire was discovered issuing from ibe upper story of a smail brick house iu Maiden lane, one door from East ctreet, occupied for some time pas! by a man named James White, bootmaker. The firemen and police were promptly on the ground, and succeeded in confining ibe fire to the part of the house where 11 originated. No one appeanug in the house at the time" of the fire, and 11 being known that it was occupied, some uneasiness was felt as to the fate of the inmates, and after the names were subdued, some of the police ascended 10 ihe upper story, where a most awful and uornd spectacle met their sight. The body of White was found lying on the floor, wi h his head nearly severed from the body , bis throat being cut Irom ear to ear; and a few feet from linn, near the hearth, was found the body ot bis daughter, about fifteen years 01" age. The body of his little son, about two years old, was ly on the bed. The throats of the children wrre also cut, and their bodies blackened aud burnt almost to a crisp by the fire. The bodies were still warm and smoking from the effects of the fire, and, as soon as circumstances would admit, were remov ed to a stable adjoining. U was found, upon ex. animation, that ihe little boy, in addition to having bis th:oai cut, nau nis brains mowed out oy a pis- toL The whole affair seemed almost too dreadful for belief, and bad not the, evidences been lying before ihem, the spectators might well have doubt ed if any one could exist so hardened as to -per petrate a deed so borrioie. v , , , Coroner Hooper was called on to hold an, m- qust upon the bodies, and, from the evideucefli- cited, tne jury rendered a verqict. that tne deaths of th deceased were caused by having their throats cut by a sboe-knue in ihe hands of James White, while laboring under an atiacR ot del mum tre mens, he having previously, 11 is supposed, set tiro 10 the house. This appeared to be the only conclusion to winch lite jury coukl arrive. The knife was tound lying upon the floor, auu was showu to the jury. A pistol, was found after wards, which was used, it is supposed, on the boy, the back part of his head ieing jjreR'ly fractured. 1 his is a most horrible anair, and is another war ninjr against a too free indulgence in intoxicating drinks. White, it appears, had been what is call ed a "free drinker" lor maoy years, and while under the effects of liquor would abuse his wife and family in-a bad. manner, lo such an extent had this beencarried of late, that his wife, heing on the eve of confinement, was induced to leave him about two weeks age, and wen; to reside with her grand mother, where she now lies no", expec ted to live. The girl was lelt with htm 10 order to take care of the bouse and cook his meals. The mother, it is said, on leaving him, look with her ihe youugesi child, the boy, and yesterday White went ro see hia wife, and induced her to let tlte boy return home with him, protuuing. io Jake care ol him. . He was probably at the time aiediuting the deed which has filled everyone with, horror,: White was about 35 or 40 years okl. . : i Jiiltimf- Patriot, 6th mst. 1852.

The New York Evening Post, the leading organ of the Van Buren Democracy in the Nor hern States a journal conducted with great boldness and consummate a! il ty, declared that the 'attempt to induce the Democracy of New York to approve of the policy of the present Adminis traiion was voted down by a large majority." 1 ii resolution thus 'vnie.i down bv a larse ma. jority,'was simply a resolution of adherenci lo ! tne Compromise measures as a final settlement aimi'ar to that of Mr. Wheeler and to that of Ma- jor Polk Whywi l the UViion continue to distract its ! pany by adhering to the Compromise?

Republic. NEUSE NAVIGATION COMPANY. We have been permitted to take a ropy of the Report of W. Beverhout Thompson, Civil En- I gineer, upon the survey of Neuse River,' which we uir pleasure Oi laving oetore our reauera m day. The practicability of the work appears to be fully demonstrated, and we understand that our New Berne friends intend to begin operations ai an early day. The estimates of cost we learn are arge, and Ihe chief engineer is of opinion that the actual expense cannot exceed his estimates. The report is accompanied by a map f the river, plans of" Jocks, profiles, &c, making up a complete survey. It is a work of great importance not merely to New Berne, and the country lying on Neuse, but to the whole region of the Siate pen etrated by the Central Rail Road They proper ly form one work, and we hope to see the Rail Road and the River Improvement completed si multaneously.

Mr. Carter, of Ohio, took the same view of the subject, and was in favor of extending aid to rail road companies generally, and as opposed to ma kins invidious distinctions. Mr. Meade, of Va., explained the condiiion snd prospects of ihe company, which commenced un der disadvantageous einumstancea, owing to wnich the road had been assumed by the State, upon condition thai slock to the amount of&400, 000 should ba subscribe J.

On the question of the third reading, an effort was maoe to get the bill bjck into that state, in which it would be 'in order to move instructions to the coruinitiee of ways and means to report as to the expediency of abolishing the duty on rail road iron. " . Mr. Clingman, rif N. C., was in favor of abol ishing the duty on railroad iron, and said he was glad to find so many members iu favor of.the measure; und when the proper time arrived, would submit an amendment to the tariff to that effect. He concluded by moving that the motion to re consider the motion for a third reading be laid on he table, which was carried years 84, nays 43. Mr. Houston, of Ala., moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the State of the Union, on the special order, which" was carried; and the House resolved itself into committee, Mr Hibb;ud, of New- Hampshire, in the chair, who staled that the first business before the committee is the bill granting one hundred and sixty acres of land to every head of a family. By this time three o'clock had arrived, when Mr. Davis, of Mass., took the floor, and replied to the speech of Mr.. Ranioul, on a former day, ex culpatory of himself, and entering at much length into the consideration of ihe politics of the coun try generally, and of Massachusetts in particular, but which had no bearing np n the bill before the L-ommiit.-e.
