We observe, that in the case of Elizabeth E. Potter's Ex'r vs. Samuel R. Potter and ul., in error, from tho Circuit Court of the District of North Carolina, which was argued at the present term of the Supreme Court of the United States, by Mr. Badger, lor the plaintiff, and Gov. Graham and Mr. W. S. Bryan, for the de fendant, Mr. Justice Daniel has delivered the opinion of the Court, affirming the judgment of the Court below, by which the bill was dismissed. " N. C. STATESMAN." It will be seen, by the subjoined Card, that the publication of the "Statesman" has been discoiitiiiu.jd, f ;r the want of a proper support. This is an unanticipated denouement. We hope, however, that the fact is no index of a deter mination upon tire part of the "Democratic" party to adhere to the tuiciial policy they have al! along been pursuing with regard to North Carolina's rights in the Public Domain : A CARD. The publishers of the " North Carolina BENNETT'S BILL. The Editor of the "Standard," from a .sense of what is "due to the President," is eontent and even anxious to acqaiesce in all the robbery and injustice -which have been perpetrated upon the common property of the nation by demagogues, in order to flatter and please the West. The public lands originally belonged to the old States, but by the strangest perversion of jus tice which ever took: place in the open face of day, the new States, formed out of territories whish belonged to ; the "old thirteen," now monopolise the whole of the lands within their borders. But stranger still, the citizens of the old States, from the ..force of party discipline, are brought to approve of the injustice, from a sense of "duty to the President." In a recent number of tho "Standard" we ob serve the following remarks on some proceed ings in the House of Representatives rolative to Bennett's Land Bill : ; We trust that all bills to divide the lands or to sauander'them on particular States will be defeated. What the people of the old States exnect is a "prudent nroprietorship" over the lands by the general: government ; and conse ouentlv no irrant to the new States, except in cases where the reserved sections will, sell (as the result of improvements) for as much as the granted and reserved sections together." This paragraph is based on the acknowledged fact that for years it has been the practice to grant away the public lands by millions of acres to' Western States and Western Rail : Road cor porations lands which virere the common pro perty of the nation at large, and which should have ben sold for the common purposes of the treasury, ordivided equitably among all the other States. Common justice therefore clearly de mands that before returning to a system of sale for common purposes, the Government, of the United States should first do justice to the old States, by granting to them a proportion ot trie lands equal to that which has been given to the new States. This is what is cloariy required by the demands of simple justice. This is what we demand in the name of the peoplo of North Carolina ; and if the whole people, and all par tie, were united in making it, we cannot doubt that it would le acceded to- But it is not the interest of politicians" of the locofoco school to maintain the rights of the people on this ques tion. A regard for party is superior to their duty a citizens. A sense of what is "due to the President" is superior to a sense of what is due to the people. We arc therefore compelled to rely solely upon the energies of the Whigs, as a means of securing the rights of the people oi North Carolina; and wo are constrained to put up with the best terms we can make, on the nrincinln that "half a loaf is better than no I r , bread." But the "Standard" is for managing the pub lie lands on the principles which would govern a "nrn.lnt nn.nriptor" The origin of this l . r- -t v phrase is simply this; It was used by Piesi dent Pierce as an apology for the system of granting away alternate sections of tbc lands to Western Rail Road Corporations. It is con tended that the alternate sections are worth more after the Rail Road is constructed than the whole b idy of the lands were worth befui o. This may be true, but it only goes to sustain the system of building up the prosperity -of tin West and Western Corporations out of the eom- of the nation. Jsone ot theso al- i, THE TORY PRINCIPLE, AGAIN. The "Standard" re-iterates its doctrine of the divine right of the President. The Editor of thai paper appears to have lost all respect for the rights pnd feelings of repabliean freemen, ad boldly talks of government as a matter in which the people have no other concern than that of obedience. la bis paper of the 11th, we .find the following f-epetition, in another form, of his principle of duty to the President : "We have the fnllost confidence that the Pre sident will inflexibly maintain the doctrine on this subject advanced in his late annual mes sage." 'This remark is made in reference to the pos-' sible action of the Congress of the nation. The deliberations of that body are a matter of secon dary consequence, and the Editor of the "Stan dard" hopes that the President will "inflexibly maintain" the doctrine advnaeed in hia Message, for which doctrine he, can find no better argu uienf than that which asserts the "divine right of kings," the principle of "duty to the Presi dent." MISSISSIPPI SENATOR. Ex Governor Albert G. Brown has been elec ted a Senator in Congress, by the Legislature of Mssi$sippi, fr the term of six years from the fourth of March last, lhe election toolc placelon he 7th instant. The vote was, for A. G. Blown 7G votes, II. S. Foote 22, W. L. Shar key T, and 10 scattering. Mr. Brown had, of course, previously received the nomination of a caucus of the Democratic members of the Le gislature. OTm WASHINGTON COBBESPQNDEHCE. ' " i - CONGRESS. jUgS The "Evening Star," a penny paper at Washington, says that " at no previous session have so many applications been made to Con gress for giants of lauds in aid of Rail Roads through United States lands in the old and new land States." The same paper remarks : "We are glad to learn that the Committees on Public Lands of the respective Houses, on as certaining that nearly every one of the many different applicants have proposed their own buu. drafted diliercntiy anil liable to he Uitier-imtlv-interpreted, and that, therefore, the adop tion qt some general uniiorm system was auvis- ablo, have delegated a joint sub-committee to draft a "model bill" to all cases." Among the principles laid down by the Com mittee for the construction of a "model bill" for giving the public lands to the Railroad Corpor ationsi is the following : "4. In making such grants of alternate sec tions, the sole principle upon which they ought to be. made should be that conceded by thcPic siderlt in his Message, at lhe opening of the pre sent iession, the Secretary of the Interior in his Report, and the Commissioner ot the Oenera. Land Office in his report, viz : the enhancement f the value and promotion of ihe sales of the U. lands in the vicinity of such road." Here it will be seen is a general system of wholesale robbery .of the common domain of the people to enrich wealthy corporations in other words, the moneyed aristocracy of the West. On the sham principle of "prudent proprietor ship," the same game is to go on, and the older States' are to lose all direct and indirect share in the public lands. i Statesman regre t to announce that with the or 5 i hv ea . t. . . - HIRING AND SALE OF, NEGROES, Ac. ?e close of one ve.4r and the beeinninc of I "other are great sources' of 'annoyances , to toe and gratification to others in these parts.

Tarboro' Southernr single exception of the subscribers in the town of Wilmington, a genera"ldisregard of the terms of the Prospectus, and tho notice Jn the first number of. the paper, has caused the withdrawal of Mr. Castwkm., the editor, and the suspension of the paper until the pleasure of the other sub scribers is known. Prorosine nothing less than the vindication of the policy declared by the entire Democratic i party in the last Legislature, upon the passage of the Byoum resolutions, and therefore obliged to oppose a "settled policy" on the part of tho Federal Government, it would be folly in two individuals to expect successfully to prosecute that purpose without ample means and a very general support. The list with which they have been honored, and for which they return their sincere thanks, is, it is true, unusually large and respectable, yet is that aid wanting, and they are therefore constrained to believe either that the public mind in N. Carolina is indifferent to such a discussion, or that the parties whom they, atone time, sup posed to be interested in maintaining it, lack a very necessary confidence in their own ability f .niiii. it to a nuccessful issue, "Lake as the k;irlrn nf Enhraiin. who. beinz harnessed and carrvine bows, turned themselves back, in the day of battle." Therefore, self resaect. and the dictates of an Tinnnrftbln imnulse alike imDOse upon them, in the absence of other and sarly assurances, to dis- Thi8 determination will involve no one but the Publishers in pecuniary loss ; tor in tne mesnwhile they will return to subscribers every dollar of the partial payments they have receiv ed, without deduction, for any expense of the publication. - ! Raleigh, Jan'y 1854. f mon property teruate sections have ever been, or will ever be, -'ranted to North Carolina ; and the "Standard" does not even insist on our right to them. In this State, and in all the old States, Rail Road Corporations have to pay for the ground over which the Roads arc; built; in the Western States, they. not only demand the right of way, but, with it, alternate sections of the public lands for some miles on eacH side. Is it not enough to grant them the right of way, and let the enhanced valde of the lands go into tho common Treasury? On what principle of jus tice is it that Western Rail Road Corporations are pampered at this rate, at the expense of the nation and to the detriment of the people 7 1 lie alternate sections in the possession of corpora tions constitute a monopoly highly injurious to the public interests of the community and to the equal rights of the masses ot the peopie. in Illinois, for instance, on the route oi ui vcuua.

New York, Jan. 10 The steamer Europa arrived here to-day with of the-Country. The interests of Corporations a.large amount of freight, and a goodly number of passengers. She was out 17 days, having left Liverpool on the 31st of December. Strong efforts were being made to induce de sertion, of Poles in the Russian army. The gratification of a treaty between Russia and Persia had occurred. It took place at St. Petershurgh, December 18, The Russians were daily expected to attack Bagdad- Turkey had formally accepted the Persian declaration ot war J : Washington, Jan. 17, 1854. The melancholy fato of the San Francisco, and its unfortunate passengers and creWi have absorbed public sympathy. Until her fate was knows, the most anxious interest was felt, and the wirst that could befal her and them ap prehended. These apprehensions were, how ever, omewbatVrmtigated by the confidence expressed by one or two old commodores, that she wduld ride out any gale in safety, and that little fear need be entertained for those on board. Notwithstanding this confidence in those more capable by far than I was of judg ing, I must confess the disaster was not as la mentable as I had apprehended it would turn out to be, for the melancholy fate of the Steam er President was fresh in my recollection. Lieult. Davis, of the Navy, died last night from an injury received oa Tuesday evening, in being thrown from bis carriage. Being well known!and much esteemed here, his situation has excited much sympathy, and bis death sin fprp regret amone our citizens. The Iiouse ot nepresentatives, on paiuruay, i rejected the Senate bill changing the mode of iinnoiniinsr the Assistant Secretary of the Trea sury, thus giving another proof of their devoted loyalty and unqualified submission to the powers of the White House. The Individual who holds that office, and was aimed at by the Senate bill, ia. decidedly the most obnoxious to his own party here that 1 have ever known. In speaking of him, there is no language nor terms too strong to express their feelings towards him : and I have good reason for saying that such and so numerous had been the complaints and representations to the President in regard to him, and the estima tion in 'ivhich he was held ia this community, by his iown party, that his removal had been frequently urged upon Mr. Guthrie. But the attempt; to legislate him out of office was con strued Ento an attack upon the Administration ; or at least, members of the House were induced so to consider it, and therefore, obnoxious as he mifht lie to his own party here, the administra- . " , . . i . i .. : i tion muist no nrotecteu auu sustameu. The history of favorites, whether those of weak monarctis, or tickle multitudes, wouiu, n written, be as instructive as it would be inter esting. But the present Assistant Secretary has no reason to suppose himself at all a favor ite at tho White House, though he has contriv ed to imterpose the administration as a shield between! himself and his enemies ; at least I iud'e so from the very free and not very flatter ing remarks which fall from the hps ot such as are intimate at tho Presidential mansion. As , to the individual himscir, 1 owe him no person al ill-will ; 1 oiily feel as a Whig the persecut ing spirit he has exhibited towards Whigs ; and am so far an admirer of the silcer rule in poli tics, as not to indulge in unreasonable grief when I sec "the poisoned chalice commended to his own lips," who has so often forced others to drink; from it. if I harbored any ill-feeling towards the democratic subordinates in the Treasury Department, 1 certainly tdiould not desire a change brought about so earnestly de- 1 hv them. , We have the important news from New Orleans, of the arrival of Mr. Gadsden there', with a treaty he has concluded with Mexico, o which we acquire o0.000.000 acres of land, the Mesilla Valley, and a confii mation of the Ga rav grant of a route for a railroad by the way of the Tehuantepcc. The large amount of land acquired, is supposed to be S-mora, rich in gold and silver mines. The consideration to be paid is $20,000,000 a very reasonable sum, and one we can serj easily pay, cash down. If Sunora has been purchased, there is another rich and tempting field of enterprize and speculation impnr-rl tii our restless spirits who consider gold wealth tho onlv thing worth;toiling for, and wish to. obtain that even without toiler frmlhlff Mr. fllkivton will proceed with his remarks upon the Clavton Bulwer treaty to-day. It was kneeled, when this debate was opened by Gen. Cass, tlust several Senators would take part in it upon the same side ; but sincThursday, the day on wtaich Mr. Clayton commenced his re ply, it is understood that no other Senator will expose himself to the range of his artillery, and that tho veteran General, who led off so gal lantly in this attack, will be left to fight the battle en-.irely alone, and to wear all the laurels he may win, unclaimed by his less daring al lies. The speech of Mr. Clayton, on Thursday.was a fine specimen of Senatorial eloquence, and has done him much honor. He was severe up on Gen'l Cass, but that severity had been pro voked, and consisted, not in the use of harsh i.,r,,T,.ntrfi for not an offensive word e-r epithet A I f was used but in the lucid statement of the tacts of the case, and its presentation in strong an lively colors, so far as Mr. C. went, in its various The proceeding of the Senate veeterdav were more than usually interesting. 4-The prelimi-1 nary measures so promptly adopted .to evince tne gratetul sense ef the , National : JLegislature for the humanity and persevering bravery of the Commanders who so nobly stood by the, wreck of the San Francisco, and at great hazard sue-, ceeded in saving the .sorvivoira.of -her passen gers and crew, were honorable to. the .Senators whp moved in them, and -to -the whole body which so heartily and unanimously sustained the movement.' : --f '-r": Among other business ot the ; dayV three im-- Eortant bills were introduced froiz the"Military bmmittee ' by Gen.
