WEDNESDAY MORNINQ. APRIL 8. 1UT. ORGANIZE FOR THE CONO SESSION AL ELECTIONS. Ia our last israe, we brought thk subject to the attestioa of oar political friend thro' oat the SUU. Sabseqaeat reflection on it has served to impress u jet nor tronglj with. Um absolute Moessitj of what we theu proposed. Plain talk, if it's honest, is the right sort of Ulk, and to look things in the fae, and moot the a a they are presented, is manly, and commons tnsical. ' This we pro pot to do, and, therefore, laj down now a proposition or two, which, we think, cannot be denied. First,' we say, that if an anti Democratic organisation is not kept up in the State, the anti-Democratic part will lose whatever influence it has retained, and will fade oat of existence. Second, we saj, lhat this, is the time, of all others, and for rea 10ns previous! stated, for a regular stad a; contest against the Democracy. The is mea are all on oar side in the contest, and all we want is men to take the stomp, and press them home apoa the corrupt rulers of the daj, :be Charlatans and demagogues who have rid ien down conservatism, trifled with national tad State interest, voted themselves whatev er they wanted ia the way of pay per diem, pay r nocttm, pay per annum, books, station- try, and every thing else, on which itching alms eoold be laid, ad libitum, tt infinitum. S'ever was there a better time for a wager of Mttle against the Democracy in the South ern States, and most particularly in this old forth State of oars. Mr. Buchanan's ad ministration is going to bo a dead failure torse, if possible, than that of Fierce and rill prove to be such, before the lapie of two Dontha. Already, bis own party friends in ha South, fair the result to bis health an 1 ift, from the inroads made upon him by the ride-moothed sharks in qae3t of ofEoe. He in a dangerous condition, and is subject to aore risk from the Decaooatio $ harks, than rota any other cause. Hell weather the 'rat sickness, the "hotel rckoesi," and all he disease, ordinary and extraordinary, to rhieh human and razsiDKXTlAL flesh is heir, a . i showing up at this moment, the gros inooo isteaey of Democracy in that department, to rhich the Democracy pay most especial at ration : ia that department in whioh aU their rineiplee are eeatred, and which, at every ratas, have been put down at the talismanie amber of Menen." Afraid to carry oat De i oc ratio professions and promises, in regard 9 rotation in office, be is striving to mince utters ; to do a little rotating here, and a ittle rotating there. At the North, he has y this timid policy, set his party by the ears, nd is getting roundly used ap for so doing, y some of the plain spoken journals of De iocracy in the Souths The battle of the Shells," we are told by a Democratic jour al of prominence, is growing hot and fierce, nd old Buck's character, we all know, i not raited to quell the clamorous and educe the refractory to good order, and roper discipline. - The question of a "suc eioa" ia already mooted, and the organi a lion of the Cabinet is the stand point from rhich observations are now made, and whence pe rations will b conducted. In Virginia be Southern Flag Ship of Democracy the rew are in something more than an embryo intiny. fFu and Hunter are at points, nd sharp points too. Floyd's seat in the labinct, was a Wist triumph and a Hunter itrmxtlemtnt, as both "Gixxard Foot" and Run-Mad Tom" are candidates Heaven ad th Democracy willing for 1860, and ve each other "as a eat loves soap.n As in 'irginia, so it is elsewhere, and "a war of be rose, stiaat the scent, has commenced, nd will go on. Gen. Caas got bis place, ot becaas he was fit for it, but because it ould be mjfordfi kirn, be not being prttuw blt in another presidential struggle. Cobb ot into bis berth, to be strangled in it, by is as of yes and no ; a Cabinet appoiat vent being the beat means of sinking a man i the days. Thus it is with the whole arty.- They are disunited, belligerent, dis odant. The Seven Principles- can't be lultiplied indefinitely or innumerably. lie great Democratic party, is split upon he reck of their sal ration heretofore- the ock of spoils no longer large enough to i a . ioia mem. This is the precise condition of the De mo ra tie party at this tim, and ahall our own, conservative, an honest and patriotic party, ail ia rrj legitimate way to expos it, by he press, on the stump, and by every boo table means of access to the real grit, and a-oSceraeeking people of the State, ia every onion thereof ? No, no- We ought not 9 forego this golden opportunity to do good- to terra our country. The best and strong est men In each Congressional District should be pat ia the fleld to expose Demooraey in its enormities, and maintain oar own faith in its beauty, virtue and conservatism. ' While familiar with the general politics of this State, it would be unoandij !n us to de ny that we lack the information ia Dittrict and County matters, which w bop to gain, and which we hare reason to believe wiU be furnished us. As to principles and policy, who have no doubt; but as to the men to repre sent those principles and earry oat that poli cy, we defer to those, who entertaining oar opinions, axe better able,' each ia bis own sphere, to say who ought to be the man or men, to bear our flag in the coming Congressional Elections, than we are. There can be no doubt that if the anti-Demooratio organisa tion in North Carolina is to be maintained, there should be an American or WMg candi date in every District this summer, and that each should meet his man on the stump, and try the issues before the people. Men may shriak, because of previous defeat, and the chagrin consequent upon it. But we beg them not to be weary of well doing. The three Districts held by our party, can be maintained, and therj is more than one, if the proper man is brought out and the right issues made, to be reclaimed. Disoord, dis sension, and a disgraoeful struggle for spoils, divide the Democracy. Shall not love of country, and an undying opposition to Dem ocratic tendencies animate the Americans and Whigs,in a oontest for a supremacy, which ' in the possession of the latter, will redound to the good of our common country ! DISTRIBUTION OK THE PUBLIC LANDS. We are truly glad to see that very gener ally in the old States of the South, the sub ject of making a fair distribution of the Public Lands is exciting the attention and interest which its vast importance so well merits. We have the highest Democratic authority in the Land, the authority of the Demos ratio President of the United States, for saying that some disposition most bo made of these Lands, because the? aregource of vast corruption, and the Government does'nt need them for revenue purposes. It being then conceded on all hands, in fact by every candid and thinking man, that something most be done with thes lan Is, the only qaes ii what that something shall be. Mr. Buch anan's proposition to give these lands away to ot uer are melancnoly reasons for think-, f Territories and States to be settled ag that b cannot weather, and, therefore, Bp bj foreigners and exiles is very not auat go sslur oath office-seeker's cape, ne.worlh. for tw0 re440n. lit. because it is most unjust to the old States, and 2nd, be cause Mr. Buchanan, by it. concedes the constitutionality of distribution, and the Edi tor of the Baleigh' Standard, who repudiates Mr. Buohanan on the important subject of the Pacific ri7 road, must also repudiate htm on the momentous question of the Public Lands, un'ess he too concedes the constitu tionality of Distribution, and the vast amount of corruption growing, and to grow out of these Lands, while they are retained by the Government. We are ooth sorry and sur prised that the Editor of the Standard does not even condescend to say yep, or nay, to oar proposition to discuss this question and to publish each others' editorials in our re spective papers. The proposition was meant in civility and coached in civil language, and the failure of tb Standard to notice it, after he had three day's time to consider it, war rants the belief that be has little, if any con fidence, in the strength of bis position on the land question. We call the attention of such of the Public as we bave access to, to this fact. Are we not warranted in the belief, that with all bis tact and dexterity, the Edi tor of the Standard feels that the land sub ject is too much for bim 1 We sincerely think so. But it may turn out after all, that the Editor of the Standard is preparing, is like Achilles, farming in his tent." Well ! If this should prove to be the faot we do cot wish to "hurry in the cskes," but will until tho Pemoerat'O Oracle does speak, give bim from time to time a "sweet remembrancer." 8uch fot instance as the following which we take from a late number of the National In telligencer : THE PUBLIC LANDS. Th immeoM douatioo of public land made of Itte veir by Coogresa to corporations within the new St-ls bare awaken od the attention of th- people of ull Suum to the subject and ol Vir)iui-4 especially, where tne burden of tixa tii for iu'ernal itnprjverosut hta been greatly increasfd. It 'tr.ke as, therefore, that a brief recu--reoc to the history and cooditious of the ten are of the public d miu may N of goeral ic.teret at this t iue. At tU ciomBacmot of the II troiutioa.iry war tl.ert beIougd t soma of f- .State hre Wets of wild aud unappropriated lands, whilst ia others noa uca eiistL Tue States p wses i:ig no ucli lands clain.e4 that, as the war was waed with U'lUed means and equal sacrifi s, the wat 1 tads wnicb might be conquered from the enemy should becoms coum--o property, and under the rec-xnmv-udali to of Congress 10th of OoioVr. 1780, -'tbat the unappropriated lands which might be cedd to the United States by any particular Suu pursuant to the reco nmen daXioa of Congrss of the Ctb.of September last, hail be dip-i ofV Ik common btmeU of the Uniud Ste" VirgiaU promptly mde a csioa of her vast d'uoaia aorta of the river O uo, oat of which six Sutss have snce been formed Tne condition of aer cemion (adopted substantia! by other Stat) waj, that all the la-ds conveyed "sba!l wmwow as a cimimos ju.ua ior in use ana braefit of such of the United States as have be- com or QU bcom members of the coefsdera ".J or federal alliance of the sa;d States, Virginia iocia ve, according to their usual respecrire pro portions in the general charge and txtmiditure and shall be faithfully and bona fids disposed of for that purpose, and for no otAer vu or vur poM whatever." Thus were the lands ceded, ac cept!, and held ta trust. Bow thev have si ice been disposed of In total disregard of the condi tions of tne trust, the history of the country tells in the annals of Congressional legislation. In diregard of the plain obligations of the trust. President Jackson, in the eirly days of his admiaistratioa, proposed to cede the lands thus acquired, and all subsequently purchased, to the States ia which they lie, gratuitously or for a nominal price. To counteract this movement, whk-h at that time met ao favor in Congress, but which has since been substantially adopted in the system ot partial grunts, Mr. Clay introduced his well- known distribution bill, which was passed by Congress on th 2nd day of March, 1833, by a vote I Z4 to in tne benate, and 96 to 40 in 'he House of Represents tives. This bill Presi dent Jackson refused to apprv and it did not become a law, the popular will, as indicated by the vote of the Hou, to the contrary notwithstand ing, some ot the eatern member did not hesitate to avow the purpose of eventually ap propriating to the States in which they lie all he public lands, and one of the most eminent of them declared that after the census of 1850 the power to do so would be irresistible. The fu' fit ment of this menace Js almost complete, and af ter the census of 1860 the old States will be ut terly powerless unless they unite cordially for their common protection. The whole amount of turner which would have gone into the Tre sury ol Virginia, under the provisions of Mr. Clay's land bill, t'rotn 1822 to 1339, a period of sevea years, would have been four million three hundred and tixtu-nine thousand one hundred and fix' y -nine do'Urs, or or eaen year seven ' hundred aud twenty-eih! thousaud one hundred and ninety-lour dollars. On September 4, 1811, an act was pissed to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the pub lic lands amoogst the several States. The rsi section provided that from and after the 3 1st De cember, 1841, thereashould"be allowed and paid t" each of the BUtos of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ala bama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiao, .Arkan sas, and Michigan, over and above what each ol the said Sttes is entitled to by the to "ins of the compacts entered into bet wee u them and the United States, upon their admission into th Union, the sum often per ceutntn upon the rieti proceeds of the sales of the public lands which, s'lbseuaat t the day aforesaid, shall be roaile within the limits of each of said States respec tively." Alter deducting the said per centum, the resi due of the nett proceeds was to be di vided amougst the then twenty-six States of the Uuion aud the District uf Columbia, aud the Territories of Wis consin, Iowa, and Florida, according to thsii respective fdral representative popid ition, a ascertained by the last census, 1840,) t be ap plied by the Legixlatures of the said States tu such purposes as the .aid Leiolatures wight di rect, provided that the distributive share t which the District of Coio-rbia shall be enti le, should be applied to free schools or d icat'ou if some other form, as Congress might direct. !. the sixth section of the act there was a pr vizo that if at any time them should beau imp'Hitix. of duties consistent with the act of Ma-ch 2 1833, beyond the rate of duty (twenty pv 'er tum,j fixed by that act, te dist'ibuti;n should be suspended until 'hiscause should be removed. line proceeds were thus divided for one year, and accepted by a'l the States, we believe, ex cept Virginia. The Legislature ol that State re fused to receive the f"rty thousand dollars for that year, (a much smaller sum than th average would have been had the law been continued,) on the ground that it was an attempt on the p .rt of Congress to corrupt the people of the . tte by gifts from tbe Federal Treasury. . Ky the operation of the act of August 4, 1842, to provide revenue from imports, &c, the distn b'lttou of the cett proceeds of the public lands . i ng the States was suspended. The proceeds ... i e lands up to and including the 1st of January, 1839, amounted to the sum of $57, 227,520. The following sums have since been received: In 1839 the sum of 1840 - - - 1841 - - - 1842 - - - 1843 ... 1344 --- 1845 - - - 1846 - - - 1847 ---1843 ... 1849 --. 1850 - - - 1851 - - - 1852 - - - 1853 - - -. 1864 - - - 1855 - - - 1856 - - - - $ 7,076,447 - 3,292683 - 1.365 627 - 1.335,797 897.818 - 2,059.939 - 2,077.022 - 2,694.452 - 2,498.855 - 3.328.642 - 1.688,959 - 1,859.894 - 2,852,305 - 2,048.239 - 1.667,084 - 8 470.798 - 11,497,049 - 8,917,644 Total to July 1, 1856 - $ 122,811,274 Of this grand total, if now distributed under Mr. Clat's land bi'l, the State of Virginia vuuM receive the handsome sum of nine jiaLMt.

TROUBLIE AMONG THE VUJGINIA DE MOCRACY. We are mightily grieved to see thst the Democraoy of the Petersburg Congressional District are threatened with a serious stew. in which, it is much to be apprehended, thit our old "friend and pitcher," Wm. O. Goodk, will be done to a browner color, nban he fan cies., A Dcmocratio meeting was held in Petersburg on !onday night la9t. for the pur pose of nominating a candidate for the House of Delegates, and when that business was depatched by the nomination of Mr. Per renneau Brown, a call for a speech was made on Wm. Cabell Flodbwoy, who an nonnced himself as a candidate far Congress ;o that District, and gave his Democratic friend GoODE some of the sauce that "Cabell" knows so well bov to serve out. He told the meeting that hi kaevr nothing tht GoODE had dooe in Congress, save and exoept tbe making of one motion to adjourn, whioh was lost,' and concluded by promising that if leot ed be would not do lets than had been o complisbed by Mr. Good E. If Cabell holds on, we wouldn't be in G ooos's breeches for his buttons. Qj?" Vert Active, Indeed. Our neigh bor of the Standard vry complacently speaks of the exceeding ease with which he oaa "jump the distribution ditch' Why, neigh bor, this is "Pipers' news,": precisely what everybody knew. The Standard man is as notorious for jumping, as was poor Sam Patch. He jursped from the Whig party, with all its principles of distribution, &c, right into the bosom of Democracy, with all its issues, liarelv has such a iump been made. . Well may our neighbor be compla cent about bis saltatory powers. He can not only jump, but be can cut the "doable shuffle," "swing corners," and "turn off his partners" witk great nimbleness. As an Irishman said of a very active horse we once had, "Houly .Mouses, but he's a craythur to joomp" NEW BAPTIST CHURCH IN RALEIGH. Our worthy friend thoRev. Mr.SKlNXEB, had the kindness tbe other day, to show and explain to us the design of tbe new Baptist Church, wh'ch is to be erected in this City fa the course of this summer and autumn. The edifice will be beautiful in its exterior, and the interior will be as convenient for all the purposes of tbe church, as could well be im agined. The design is fcy Mr. Percival, a well known architect of Richmond, Va. With the new Church and the new Pos. Office Building, the "City of Oaks," already in possession of a splendid Capitol, Insane Asylum, and Deaf, Dumb ami Blind Asylum, raav add to her name, and claim to be rec ognized as tha "City of Oaks, and splendid Publio Edifi-jes." We feel not a little curious to see how Mr. White will behave in the new Post Office We hope he won't give him self any airs, but condecen 1 occasionally to recoguixe by an ex tempore nod, "we common folks." ffy Something Wrojjo is Soke Post UFf ICE. The Wilmington Herald says that the Raleigh Rtgister reaches that city very irregularly, whnle the Standard is received I regularly. We can assare our Wilmington friend that tbe fault of irregularity does'nt lay at our door. The Register ia as regu larly mailed as it is published.

We are indebted to the non. L. O'B. Branch, for several papers of Patent Office Seed, for which h twU please accept oar thank. If he Patent Offiie could only cir culate a little genial weather along with the Seed, fair experiments might be tried. Thifj however, is beyond the constitutional power of Government, and we seriously apprehend, that but few of the experiments on garden seed, producing their crops in late spring, or early summer, can this vear be fairly tried In truth, we begin to think tat spring pop ped in in February, and has popped out again to be seen no more th's season. Las year, there was scarcely a. spring day, day "f "ethereal mildness," such as was once known and snng about, for the bitter cold of '56 whioh lasted until the latter part or March, was followed almost instantaneously by sum mer heat. Such, we apprehend, will be the case this season. Our climate his certainly undergone a great change. Winter runs in to summer, and the latter returns the visit by running into the former, and thus spring and autumn bave been deprived of thei sway. HON. ROBERT T. PA'NR.

The Superior Court of Liw for this county, Judge Saunders, presiding, was in session last week. The only case of any interest tried at this term wan that of the State va. an unfortunate fo male of good family, who gave birth to an illegitimate infant which she said came into the world not alivej and was by her secretly concealed, aid covered with fence rails, bark, and other rubbish. She was arrested on sus picion of having' oommitted infanticide ; wich was not proved, but was found guilty of "concealment," the penalty for whioh is fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the Court. Being poor, and of blasted repu tat;on, fbe Judge ordered the judgment sus pended and dismissed tbe delinquent, with an admonition, to "go and sin no mor." On Tuesday, Maurice Q.-Waddell, Esq., of. Chatham, delivered a brief address to the voti'-rs of Randolph, and annouieed himself a -candidate for Congress from that District in the place of the lion.

A Dangerous Counterfeit. -The Fsy etteville Observer notices tbe appearance in Ashe county and in tbe mountain country of this State genera'iy ot counterieu omis on tbe FarmeV Bnk of North Carolina. They are printed on paper whiter snd inferior to that of the genuine notes, the signatures are engraved instead of being written, and there is a manifest difference between tbe genuine and the counterfeit notes', on comparison, but in the absence of the former, the latter is well calculated to deceive.. The head of G-eneral Taylor in the corner of the note is said to be whit and coirse instead of dark and finely engraved, and thi laree words "Fanner's Bank" are similarly defective in coloring.. Persons having $6 notes on the Farmer's Bank offered them would do well to exauiine them carefully. Ms Die a l Graduates.- At the University of Pen-Hyvatiia,. from North Carolina: Jos. M Hviinni.O.
