r " t I ' !- t " A CAPITAL SPEECH. ' we and in pe fcptingaeid liepjiblican the following report of the humorous and appropri ate speech of Kit. F. D. Huntington at tho re cent eShibitiott 'of horses iu SprmgSeU, Mass.. It .will bo read with interest: . Mr.' President; It occurs to roe as just pos sible that some persons present here : may be asking what precise" relation my profession sus-' tains to fast Iij)Met.V(lAater,')''!,;.No'MrI.beg such peYSons ii remember that, with the pres ent ecclesiastical tendencies of the community, mmi of as wilt need the' Very fastest of your Morgans and jBlack JIawks to take us out "of one parish intu another. (Laughter. I think J have'seerrik somewhere suggested; that, in these days of iapid ministerial euangeit would be well if your preachers should inhabit some of tbaa1oc4motiTer daguerreotype establish-,, mentt which ke occalionally, see- in our country- towns, that they misfit move conveniently U;tbeir household chattejs, parlor kitchen, j and ay,, from . one ullage, to anotner tiQua laughter.) - As things go, however,, thesa would soon coiue to be " slow coaches," and I .confess that when my tarn came, I should rather, as a matter of discnity. find myeelf on , the back of one of-your f Bob Logics "or "Lady Digbys;"! and, tor tno tactics ana cnuaren, we couiu onng out soro q of the old pillions that no doubt hang up in most of the old stables of New England, and o migrate to another, field of labor. (Laughter and cheers ) ''' v. ; r ' Sir, a great many fine things hare been said about the horse; aud although-1 cannot hope to say at gjod things, yet I believtt I like him as well as any of those who hare praised him.; It hiw been stiid hers that America owes a great deal to the hfcrse ; but there was one thing that may not have occurred to any of you, and that is, that we jare all of us, as - members of the Anglo-Saxon; family, descendants of horses. (Laughter.) j The. two brothers who conducted the first expedition from the forests of Ger many to Great Britain, as allies of the Britons against the Romans, and afterwards betarae, a is their wont, the owners and occupants of the soil, these two brothers were both f them named The Horse Ilenghist and llorsa. Now, if the old idea is correct that " king are the fathers of the people," and we are "the people'? descended from those kings, then I suppose the case i made out. (Cheers.) : fv Mr. Presidentit is evident, from this display which you have spread before us, and which has so delighted us all, that you cannot crowd the horse out of the path of progressive civili xatiom Yoii may invent railroads and tele graphs, if ybu will, but you cannot push him into a corner.. lie stands a soldier, a philoso pher, a reformer, and if that will not disgrace bim inlhe eyes of our friend from New Hamp shire a politician, too, (laughter ;) and per haps a bit of a preacher : besides. (Renewed laughter.) jAye, sir, right here, here in the good city of Springfield, this exhibition-held at the four right angles of two great iron ducts of travel and transportation what & commen tary it is upjon the lugubrious croakings of the prophets who foretold that the horse would go out of fashion on., the establishment of : rail roads, and perhaps have to be shot as a super fluity. (Laughter aud cheers.) Now, sir, this is one of the illustrations of that great provi dential law! which binds together in one har monious whole the interests and occupations of the world, making each one, when well pursued and nobly practised, to aid every other. (Loud cheers.) - j . - - .' Personally, sir, .1 confess to a very tender lik ing for. any fespecimble horse. lie is proverbial ly, you. know, a good listener. (Laughter.) It has been said by phrenologists that the horse has a Teryl email brain. I do not know how this is, for I claim no skill in that science, but if he has a kinall brain, ho has something that is a remarkably eood substitute for it. You have ; seen bis teftder and high sensibility. Look at i ? that npblej Arabian stallion, taken in tlie de sert and trjinsported to England. When he fell sick in the harsher northern climate they wan ; ' tod to revive his drooping energies, and they called for instruments of music to play at his aide; and ;the moment the musicians struck 5 .V their notes; his whole frame was tremulous with t-$f the " fane phrenzy," and fearful that his deli ir ,iate'and highly-wrought organism would snap by, some iriolsnt convulsion, the instruments were involuntarily dropped to the earth. (Loud nesrs-) lSir;jwha,tever may be said of tha intide of the j horse'f'jiead, what do you think cftheotfaVfe.' I Have Ve t(oj all admired that' masttrly comb:- j nation of grace and nobleness in tlie horse's ! had which might decorate ths seleetest studio! of the artist And look at the generosity of his disposition,' at the magnanimity of his tern- i per the qualities of his heart overruling the j pram 1 1 remember, in a somewhat celebrated address of j a distinguished nobleman to Kin Charles the Second, it is mentioned that " a man is never 8cj much a man as whon he ison-horsa-back." (pplause.) There is some very inti inate connexion between the exhibition of the highest types of character' and the practice of that exhilarating exercise. It seems to ms that much of the generous .hospitality which char acterize the Southern community, may be at tributable,! as well as other natural causes, part ly to the iiifiuer.ee of the common indulgence in that noble practice. Sir, I am inclined to think riding as sovereign a cure for 'meanness as for dyspepsia.! (Laughter.) And I: think it . would be of great service to our young men and young women if jthey indulged more generally in this exereise, obtaining more muscle and less arith metic. (Applause.) , 4 hold it to be true, that no young tuan or young woman is properly educated until he or she knows how to sit firm ly and gra-cefully in the saddle I irould have every young woman who falues health und beauty accustom herself to this exercise. I do not knowjthat I should commend to woman, with her delicate nature, the first of the three rules given by tho French teacher of horseman ship, namtly: first, how and when to correct your norse ; second, how and when to help him; thifd, (and this I am sure I could recommend to them, confident that they would U erer ready to practiee it,) how and when to caress and make much of him. (Cheer.) Mr. President, there is one reflection which is iiownui, hi nuiiiriiuu mm inn splendid show, t is that J scattered tbrouzh our commnnlh there are such heedless instances of wretched, dismal-looking, starved horses. In all our streets, not only in omnibuses and coaches, but cnaises ana carriages, we see so wretched look )ng horses that they might answer for an incar nation of, tho "Anatomy of Molancholy." (Laughter and applause.) Now, I take it that u is not mucn more expensive to keep a srood hone than a bad one. The best goods are al ways ine eneapest ; and this truth must hold gooa wnn this best or all animals. There is another reflection which is painful. . I wish that an infltfence could go from this Convention, rebuking all those inhuman and detestable, creatures who abuse the horse. (Loud cheers.) Yes. those who. bv over.';,,. ing and oyer-driving him, by, the cruel nse of ine i.asn ana exposure to the weather, abuse their power over bim. ' I say they are beastlier than the hoble brute they torment. (Loud ap plause, j ado , wnenever i nave seen one of tnese men stamung over some animal, with his scourge in his hand, I have, always wished that the master and the animal might 'change posi tions, and the whip-handle and this lash be in verted. (Applause.) In such cases I would invoke the terrible punishment prescribed by the poet, and - i 1 ' J " Put whip in erery honest band, To lash the rascal naked through the world." Sir, let; us learn, from scenes like thy, to re spect each other's callings, remembering that it is enW in, this -way, that we can. as Christian men; be builders together of" Divine society ; and remembering, also, that whoever brings to' a higher -perfection; any branch of noble and productive- labor, does something to elevate, re fine, and perfect the whole.' (Loud cheers.) I girt you. sir, as a sentiment, in conclusion The City of Springfield : Her heart alw young, she has shown the wisdom of antiouitT -1 V. 1 r , . 1 J'l for. by her erand and successful ttiwrim,.! . j " playing horse," she has opened the modern !

Its closing moments are its br-ighiest, for then the light of a better world,, is reflected oa it, and aji its thodgbts and feel ings are full of iinmorth.1 radiance and glory. The be'auty of this e:irth is truly wonderful. Each hour of each day and each night is cloth ed with beauty as is the mane of the lion with Strength. wThere are tie constellatiens glitter ing in their unsounded depths forever and the moon in her majesty to make the night glori ous; and there are he mountains and the plains, old ocean and the running streams, birds and flowers withput number, to shed de light on the day. Lot'the anointed eyo turn where it will, and a, wirld full of Jhe forms of beauty awakens its raptures.

Ihe picture beiure you is one. which art ipay not hope to riTs.1. Art is, very striking and admirable in many of her teeming creations; but their beauty depends altogether on the closeness and fidelity with which she has copied' nature. But there are many things in nature which art can never portray. The flower by the way side, hut not the grand old forest tree clothed in its autum nal glory, may be accurately represented by art. - Then how shall art's darinsr baud portray yon'glorious hillside! in all its breadth and splendor, where ars twenty different v. arieties ' of trees, leach in its oWn peculiarly gay garni ture differing from all the rest, and cac!i secm mg to aspire to be most worthy of admiration, and the whole forming together one mighty massive picture abounding in points of beauty on which the eye would vainly dwell forever? Thero is a power and a majesty and a depth of harmony in such a picture which fills the Soul with the shadows of great thoughts and lights ! up tne eye with visions ot a beauty such as . may not be realized on this side heaven. We ' have often stood in the presence of such gor- j geous displays of tho'autumn time and gaxed ' upon the splendor spread before us until we ; were fully possessed with the elorv of the s.-eiie ! and felt that it was a privilege indeed to live in a world of such rare and exquisite beauty. It is at this season of the year also that the heavens grow brightest, as if in rivalry of the radiance of earth. The western sky, as the sun 1 1.

As to the ceded lands being a common fund, the deed of cession says, "that all tlie lands intended to be ceded bv virtue of this act to tlie United States of America! and not appropriated as before mentioned, shall, be considered a a c-mho fund fi r tiie usp and ! -ne!i: ol ih United States, North Carolina in cluded, according to tiieir respective and usual, proportion in the grnrral charge and expenditure, and shall be faiuifully disposed of for that pur pose, unit no other uc, or purpose whatever." The Editor of the "Standard" emphazises cer tain cxpres";im5 in tiie foregoing extracts from the North Carolina Act of Cession, but he fails to take the same method of drawing attention to that clause which declares that the lands are ceded "as a common fund for the use and benefit of the Unite;! States, Xordi Carolina included." These vvord. were rat!ier-waZ-n;-o;)0.j, and there fore passed over as unceremoniously as possi ble. Now. what we maintain, and what all democrats -n ho prefer country to party, main tain, is that North Carolina is not incivdtd j m toe approved locofoco method of dis- posing of ti e public lands.

According to our logical neighbor, the "need ful rules and regulations" are to follow thes final disposition of tlie lands, else the word and has none of the importance he attachs to it! lias Congress been in the habit of making such " needful rules and regulations, for lands alrea dy disposed of? When lands are granted to the western States, to corporations or sold to in dividuals, is "that portion of :the clause which authorises needful rules and regulations" ren dered "meaningless?'" or does the standard insist that Congress stili continues to make the needful regulations ? The editor must take one or the other form of the dilemma. The States have an equitable, not a legal claim tothe lands; and Congress having a right to " dispose of them" can give, grant, cede, or, if you choose, rctrocedo them, or equivalent lands, to the States. They are common property, and yet they are not enjoyed in common. The wes tern States and squatters have the almost exclu sive use of them, and when the " homestead" plan of donating them to actual settlers is adop ted, the old States, the original owners, may bid farewell to their equitable claim upon the jus tice of the Federal Government. There can be no doubt that Jthis popular agrarian principle will in a year or two become the law of the land, when there will be a general out-pouring of the great Northern and European hives, who will take up every acre of the public domain that is worth a farthing. It may be that our own peo ple will rush to these free farms; but is that a boon to be desired by patriotic North Caroli nians ? llavo we any pooplo to spare? Is it not better to keep our people here and look out for the means of giving them profitable employ ment, in manufactures and other industrial pur suits? No patriotic son of the State can want the people to leave it; yet it is certain, that if farms are offered to the people at a nominal price, it will induce thousands to leave our bor ders forever. Tliere is something captivating in the idea of being presented with a farm of eighty or on,e hundred and sixty acres of land : but situated as our people are, we are decidedly of opinion that they would do better to cling to their native soil, which insures them health and abundance, rather than "fly to ills they know not of" in the fertile but unhealthy regions of the West. The expense of travelling to the west, and of securing a legal title, wouldamount to the full value of a quarter section of land ; yet these considerations would be lost sight of, and our State would be depopulated by a genera rush of our landless fellow citizens to the free homesteads in the valley of the MsssUsippi, or beyond the Rocky Mountains ! Let the people of North Carolina determine whether they prefer the enjoyment of their rights to a fair share in the public lands, the proceeds of which could be employed in public improvc- i ments or public education, or this bomc-jtf,,! plan, which, while it puts nothing in the Trea sury, State, or National, will seduce away our j people.

The " Standard" quotes Mr. Calhoun ; "Yes Sir," said he " distribution and cession or ti,. ...v. v.. very reverse in character and effect; the tenden cy of one is to Union, the other to disunion." We have great respect for the character of Mr. Cal houn, but the- idea oi bis patriotic solicitude for the preservation of the Union is rather amu sing. If we desired a counselor unon the most approved expedients for dissolving the Union,, WO ill. All 1 A AOffnlnliT I. . i " " e great oracle of ! T C"h'm Pftrence t0 J t ' when v- e wo"14 know how to conserve the Union. Mr. Calhoun was in favor of ceding the lands to the States in which they lie he was advoca ting that policy in the speech quoted by the " Standard." Do we understand the Editor to take the same position? Is he for giving them all to the Western States, and would he allow not a stiver to his fellow citizens of North Car olina? Does he coincide with Mr. Calhoun, that the only way to preserve the Union is to rob North Carolina of her share in the " com mon fund," in order to enrich the new States of the West? ,f Mr, Clay's plan was to distribute the proceeds of the land sales equally among the States. He thought, and we think, that even-handed justice was better calculated to preserve the Union, than the preposterous scheme of robbing the old States to enrich the new. j But with the "homestead" scheme impend ing oyer us, the plan of Mr. Clay for distribut ing the net proceeds is no longer feasible, for' tha simple reason, that there will be no proceeds to distribute. We must have the lands, and our State must superintend theirsale. if necessary but the Federal Government might still sell them out for the benefit of the States, if a law should be adopted, reserving particular tracts to each State.

Now, we wish to put a few plain qMti our neighbor of the " Standard :" 1. Were the Barnburners honest in th free-soilism in 1848-'9 and '50? You thon J not. You then called them fanatics, traitors and whatever else your vocabulary of' epitheti would furnish ! Do you tako back these epithets ? Do now recognise them as honest gentlemen, th, were then misled by their philanthropic pulses? And do you own that you then did them injustice in galling them tra'itun, knar and what hot? You say not. Well, if the Barnburners were traitors fanatics in 1848, can they be safely trusud i. i?oo r You then fellowshipped with Dickinnou and his Hunker friends who supported Gen.

Yu noirdf. nounee them as disorganisers, faction aa(j traitors to the Democratic party, and consider them as no longer trust werthy. Now, we will thank the "Standard" Lr an ex plicit answer to this question : lj you t.j3j think the " Softs" as honest and patriotic u the " Hards?" Have you to-day as much con- naence in tine honest devotion of John Van Ba- 1 T- i . . . ren ana vix, ana their tnends, to the rights of the &outh, as you have in that of Pickinion, Bronson, and their political associates? You say you have not. Then, how can you fellow ship with the former, and repudiate all politi cal affiliation with the latter? Is n becaa you are commanded to do so bv tlnj Administr j uon at Washington 7 Or is it because think the safety and successVof the party de- j mand it of you ? It comes to this, then : that Southern Democratic editors and politician prefer the alliance of traitors and fanatics foi the sake of the party, to that of honest patrioti, for the sake of the South. In thus interrogating our neighbor, we of I l courso mean nothing personal, except in "i Pickwickian sense." We only use him as our . .. .
