"Long after," said he, shall coase to be agitated by it, (the Tar iff pong after our manufactures shall have ac- nuired a stability and perfection which will en- ible them successfully to cope with the manu factures of any other country, the public lands will remain a subject of deep and enduring in terest. Ia whatever view we contemplate them, there is ho question of such vast impor tirice." And Gen. Jackson, in his Annual Mes- ue toCongrcssin 1832, although he pocketed lit. Clay's bill, declared it to be ' the true policy, that the lands should cease, as soon as practi- calle, to be a source of Revenue!" The pre diction of Mr. Clay's has been literally verified. and ever since it was made, tho Whig party of ihe cuuntry have strenuously maintained the policy and justice of Distribution. Against tho injustice and oppression, which have pampered I one sectiuu of the Union, to the injury, and al most ruin, of the other, they have' uniformly protested! The time has now fully come, when the citizens of the old States, without dis tinction of party, should spent; out, and demand their rl)lUs ! The last number of the "Raleigh Standard," in reiterating the doctrine with regard to. this Ltt88tioa laid down by the Baltimore Conven tion, which nominated Gen. Pierce, involves lt lelf in a singular web of inconsistencies, with i decided prospect that if, as it promises, other articles on the same -subject are to succeed, it will wind itself up into a hard knot, which will defy every atteinptto unravel! For instance, after laying down the inflexible proposition that it is unconstitutional to distribute the pro- cedsJet declining to declare a division of the lantlt so, the Editor argues that the latter is re ally the same as the former! This is truly bright and beautiful reasoning. And .again, after thus declaring a distribution of the pro ceds the same thing as a division of the lands -and both, therefore, according to its opinion witb.regard to the first, unconstitutional, it in timates the'" opinion that it may sometimes be "advisable to make grants of lands" to whom ? Totheold States, who for years have been depri Tfdof their j ust rights and despoiled of their clear property? To North Carolina, who has languish ed for the want of her quota, and the possession of which would give immediate and stirring vi tality to her Educational system and the indus trial pursuits of her people ? No but to "Stales Iw irMch thoie lands lie" to the old States! "with, the vie& of enhancing the value of the I residue of the lands." Here is patriotism with , U vengeance! One might reasonably supoose, I that if the Editor of tho "Standard" were dis posed to violate the constitution, with regard to the1 lands, at all, ho'. would prefer that it should to so done as to secure the most direct, practical benefit to the State of North Carolina ! Onf thingis very certain," lctwhatmaybe said Itt to the abstract pointinvolved, and our people, Ive&'re rejoiced to perceive, in every indication of I the! times, are beginning to realize the fact : I If the principle avowed in the Resolutions of the National or State "Domocratic" Conventions I be adhered to, then is the door forever closed against any of the old States receiving a just lhare of the public lands or their proceeds. Tho rr . . . . . .... . . nest is rapidly crowinc in political power, and, Im a few years, will be able to control the dispo lition of these lands ; and we have every rea- - u J . Ikb to apprehend, jadging from the past legis- Ilafion of the members of Congress, from that "onpf the Union, at the head of whom are ghs, Cass and Bejjtox, that the old States Imay altimately be cut off entirely from all par- lUeipation or share in them. Jf we ever expect I to get our rights, if we are not resolved to sub- Hit tamely to this glaring injustice, now is the "Kb to make it known! We need not expect thit anvthinfr i to ha framed bv temnorizinir I 0 - - o -J I o lttguage. Let us march like men to the issue, rad sneak to Connrrnss in nlain. unenniuoe.n.1. direct terms, that we have a just claim to a I share of this public property, an J that it is notli-J legless than plunder, barefaced plunder, to pnve us of it, and appropriate it to the use 'l benefit of other sections.

Shaw, the locofo co nominee for Congress, in the First Congres sional District, cannot command the full strength of his own party ! The last number of the "Old North State," Elizabeth City, contains an "Ad dress of the Democracy of Pasquotank county to their brethren throughout the District," sign ed by thirty of their number, in which they a vow their determination not to support the smugglcd-in Serfttor from Camden and Curri tuck. The'"01d North State" says of these gen tlemen, that "their names are a guarantee not only of the earnestness of the signers, but, be ing the names of men who have ' for years bat tled in the cause of Democracy, men who have borne the heat and burden of the day, they spoak volumes to the would-be-rulers of the par ty, who have constituted themselves the especial guardians thereof ;" and the same paper also re marks, "that the movement is not merely con fined to them, but that the disatisfaction, which gave r ise to it, is wide -spead, and of such a char acter that it cannot be appeased." The particular reasons given by these gentle men for their unwillingness to support Dr Shaw are contained in the following extract: "We oppose Dr. Shaw on the ground, that we have reason to believo there is a "clique" in this ticinity, and that he is connected with it. We have reason to believe, that he has exerted his influence to secure the appointments of those, to whom, if we are correctly informed, the body of his party is bitterly and irreconcilably op posed. We regard this as sufficient to warrant a repudiation 'of the candidate. In the disposi tion of Executive patronage, the will of the ma jority of any party should be respected. In this case il has nut been. Wo also have objections to Col. Outlaw. As a gentleman of probity wc res pect him as a politician we differ with him. We then deem it proper, as both Conventions have disregarded our wishes, to reject their can didates. We must act for ourselves. A sepa rate organization, then, is indispensably neces sary we must hate un independent candidate. Shall we indignantly frown upon ill-collected Conventions, and reject .their nominee? We trust the response in every bosom will be yes. A lvsson must be taught ambitious partisans. The time for energetic action has arrived." The signers of the Address then proceed to declare their purpose to support the Hon. Asa Biggs as their candidate for Congress, and to support him, ichclher he consents or refuses to run; , , , ... . , , , throughout the District to "show their inde pendence" and respond to their action ! -f This throws a "deadly, chilling frost" upon Dr. Shaw's Congressional, aspirations. Poor Doctor Shaic ! Alas, Doctor Shaw ! THE SECOND DISTRICT. Thomas Rvffi.v, Esq. has been nominated by ii Convention, which lately assembled at New bern, as the locofoco candidate for Congress in the above District, W. C. Loftin, Esq. inde pendent democrat, having previously announced himself, regardless of the action of the Conten tion. This Mr. Ruffin is the same redoubtable " Missouri Colonel, " who had the honor of being beaten, two years ago, by the Hon. Ed ward Stanly. In consideration of, and sym pathy for, the numerous lambastings which he received in that memorable canvass, it is sup posed that the second district was arranged as at preseut for his special accommodation. CV;.'oiinU-FFiN is of the Craige and Clingman school of politicians an out-and-out Secession ist, besides being rampant, otherwise, gene rally: Among the resolutions adopted at the Con vention aforesaid, by the way, we perceive the following, which, for coolness and assurance, is worthy of preservation,, as a specimen : Resolved, That the triumph of the Democra tic party, in the election of Franklin Pierce, gives peace and security to tho Republic, is a set tlement of all sectional differences, &c. In one sense, in very truth, has it proven " a settlement of all sectional differences," and if ii be that to. which -the resolution alludes, we give up the point : It has brought together, in haimonious and loving embrace, and in the most fraternal and transporting enjoyment of the spoils, the fire-eaters of the South and the abolitionists of the North! It has banded these section al fanatics together in the common effort to exclude the Union democracy from office and power! There is no "difference" between them on these points! There certainly is a "settle ment .'" While, however, such is the case, we I , t i 1 l ... . j uouoi very mucn wnetner me existing state oi ; .. . ... . I t. . .. . . . . .1 I. .. .

But few, comparatively, of our people have as jet had an opportunity of contributing to it. "One dime to the memory of Washington," then, and another, and anoOier, until the glo rious structure shall be complete ! h SUPREME COURT, i Since our last notice, the following gentle men have been admitted to practice in tbe sev eral Superior Courts of the State, viz : M. J. McDuffie, FayetUville, ; Bartholomew Fuller, do. iu Railroad Convention. The citizens of Mil ton have appointed 35 delegates to the railroad convention to be held on the 6th of July at Clarksville, Ya., to adopt measures to extend the Roanoke and Valley railroad from Clarks ville to Milton. ; MEN AND THEIR DOINGS. NO. XII. Washington, June 14, 1853. It is quite natural, or at any rate, seems to be the practice, for one political party, succeed ing another, to endeavor to throw upon its pre decessors the odium of some great mistake, fault, neglect or criminal act; and with this view, it sometimes happens that acts, that are; right and proper in themselves, are ;misrepre sented into something very heinous and shock ingly corrupt. This has been attempted in re ference to an act of Mr. Corwin, as Secretary of tho Treasury. The practice was commenced, either by Mr. Walker or Mr. Woodbury, of transferring the funds of the government from 5 one placo to another, by what are now denomi nated " transfer drafts," instead of resorting to tho expensive and troublesome operation of carrying specie about the country, from one place to another, and then back again. The operation of " transfer drafts"" is simply this: The Secretary wishes to transfer half a million of dollars from New York to St. Louia, instead of transporting the specie in boxes, and sending a guard along with it and suppo-e this guard or agent should turn out to be untrustworthy ? instead of this, I say, he issues a transfer draft to Corcoran & Riggs, upon New York, who agree to placo the money in so many d;iy TT c 1 ; . : . t. T - ii .i i : to the L. h. credit in bt. Louis. How thev ;et ... the funds there is their own business. f j Soon after Mr. Corwir. came into the Trca- ; sury Departmeut, "following in the footsteps of ! his illustrious nre.lc-fwsors " he Usne.l fr;mt.

Suit was brought ' by Mr. Ewing, who has expressed the opinton i that the whole' can be recovered. It was placed ' in a Dank, but tlie bank, instead ol holding it self accountable to the U. S., claims the right to oBV.et debts due from Mr. Minor, or an insu rance company, which was broken by the great fire int. Louis, and through whose hands the bank received the money. Thus stands the case now. Mr. Corwin mentioned and explained the . 1 . ' . whole matter to his successor, jlr. Outline, be iJore he came into office, who, seeing .Mr. C. iclt very anxious in regard to it, said that it was not worth while to worry about it, that such things would happen sometimes. After this transaction, no " transfer drafts " were issued, except to Corcoran & Riggs, without ample se curity. Should tho amount due, $1.00.000, be a total loss, it will in uo way compare with the losses under Mr. Woodbury's management of the Treasury, wholoaned the whole Smithsonian fund, $700,L00, to the State of Arkansas, not one dollar of which has ever been paid and not a cent of interest is paid by that State, though the U. S. have to pay the interest, semi-annually, to the Smithsonian Institute. The resolutions censuring tho present admin istration, offered by Mr. Burke, in the Democra tic State Convention, are but one of the many signs of discontent and hostility in the demo cratic ranks, towards General Pierce and his Cabinet, on account of the policy they have pursued in awarding " all the honors " and emoluments of victory to those who, but a short time ago, were doing their utmost to overturn or dissever the Union,' w.iile the old line demo crats were exerting all their efforts to preserve it. These discontents are rife in every-section of the Union, and especially so in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio. The re.so lutioiis were not adopted, it is truv, but the mover was elected President of the Convention, subsequently to offering them, which does not look like censuring him very severely. It is very true that General Pierce has been able to reconcile a considerable number of those who were three years ago denouncing the Union, to a residence within it, or to a resi dence abroad as its representatives, by a skilful application of , an emollient plaister of parch ment laid upon the palms of their hands, upon which are certain cabalistic words, in print and manuscript, among which are those tal.ism.mic words, "having and reposing special confidence in you," fcc, "I hereby appoint you," itc, ic.

But how those may like to sec it used, who bore the heat and brunt of tho battle, how they may like to see thoir enemies beannr off with them all the fruits of victory, to see the fatted calf, nay, all the tatted calves, killed lor tnese prouigai sons, and themselves at the same time turned out of doors to eat husks or starve we snail soon tides of cession : in lavor of internal lmprove know. They must have a great deal of patience, ments and State aid thereto, when such aid will forbearance and philosophy, they must be j not involve the necessity of additional taxation ; either more or less than men, if they can bear it without an occasional murmur. Gen. Pierce has now found, what every Pre sident who succeeds him must find, upon expe rience, that to invoke the aid of the office seekers in a presidential election, is to call iu the Saxons to aid the Britons against Picts and Scots. They may be useful allies, but inappeasable af ter victory, and most exacting masters; demand ing more for their services than the treasury contains, and when their exorbitant demands ar unsatisfied, banding together and harrying their former allies, worse than they had done. i i, .nvaJ-lTYt 11 1 1Y' their enemies ; and, finally, taking possession e neaaoi me tame w puur uuu one uiquireu of the whole land. her guests "if they chose long sweetening or Such is the rush for office, consequent upon j short sweetening in their coliee.

Among other distingushed persons who have become dissatisfied with the administration, is Bishop Hughes, the head of the Catholic Church in the U. S. -a man who can probably control more vo'tes than any fifty Protestants in the Union. ' That the Bishop had much to do with making Gen.; Pierce president, I believe does not admit of a doubt. What has offended him is less certain. The Catholics now claim to hold the balance of power between the old par ties, and it is-said, byi sjme of them, that they intend, hereafter, to wield that power to pro mote tUir own ends. They certainly are a powerful body, but what would they be, were Cuba or Mexico annexed to the United States? The farcical examination of Clerks is still going on.

The copper ma nia speculation is raging in Georgia, and the last Palton Times says : In Murray county they have gone perfectly wild. The farmers, "many of them at least, have left their farmss to search for mines. The Co huttah Mountains arc almost alive with them. Lots in Murray and Whitfield counties, that have always been dull sale ;at' $5, (being mouutain lots,) icannot now be bought for scarce ly any price, owing to the copper mania. ' Operations arc about to be commenced on a mine two miles from Dalton, and it is said there is no doubt that copper, silver and lead abound in that vicinity: i Cows Holding up their Milk. A few years ago I bought a young cow, which proved to be very wild, and when I took away her first calf she would not give her milk. I heard it re marked, that patting a weight on the cow's back Would make hep give her milk down. I accord ingly drove her into a stable, got a bushel of grain and put it on her back. While kept in this position she had no power to hold up her niilk, for it came down freelyj After doing this a few times, and afterwards putting my hand on the back of the cow, it would give way and she would immediately give down her milk.

High ly recommended for Summer Complaint in Children. Colic, Cramps, &c, for sale by WILLIAMS & HAYWOOD: Beckwitli's Anti-dyspeptic Pills. rT HE price of these pills is now reduced to 2 I cents per boat. The object of the proprietor in making this large reduction is mainly to place them within the reach of a large class of our popu lation who are in the habit-of resorting to medicine in this form who have been, in a great measure precluded from the use of these pills by the high price at which they have hitherto been sold. The testimony of many distinguished Gentlemen in various sections of this country, who have used and been relieved by these pills, could be given, but it is thought the following wiU be sufficient to interest those who need similar benefits. m Extract, from the Hon. Beverly Tucker, late law professor at William and Mary, Ya : , "Jt ourteen years ago, I was left by a most malig nant fever, with a diseased Liver, a disordered di gestion, and a Constitution in ruins my physician permitted me to hope, that with care and, prudence I might have a few years of precarious existence, and assured mc that the least indiscretion would be fatal. 'I met with your anti-dyspeptic pills, and confiding in the accompanying certificates of res: ponsible gentlemea whom I happened to know, I took them according to direction. The result is, that I now eat what I please, do what I please, sleep soundly and enjoy life as much as any man living. For thia, -it gives me pleasure to say," you have my thanks,, and to dd the assurance of my high regard." ; .." Rxtract, from the Hon. George E. Badger, L.L. D. United States Senator, who has used these pills for more than 20 years: "I do not hesitate to recommend them as an agreeable, safe and efficacious remedy in. dyspep tic affections and believe them myself to be the beet antidyspeptie medicine ever offered to the public." Extract, from Thomas J. Johnson M. D. Nateh ez, Miss, ... . "I beg you to accept my thanks no formal, stinted thanks, but thanks from the bottom of my" soul, commensurate with the great benefits, con ferred, with the blessings of health restored by the hands of a benefactor, though a stranger, for I veniy oeueveyou nave endowed witn flesh ana blood a skinny skeleton, the flesh and blood are here, the appetite is rich, morbid eensatitns dissi pated, and I know of no assignable cause for the transformation than' the use of Beckwith's anti-dyspeptic piUs."
