It was directly in eoadict witl, UuU of Mr. Ahe, and that was a reason ; both betcg IenocrU; sre exercised our preference against tbe Utter, and hi favour of th other candidate.

Let certificates or warrants therefor in alternate sections; be given her, as to other States, and they will bring even at the Government price merely, more than t-m-ugh to complete ad our public works sod for ever exempt the people of North Carolina from texation for tbe purposes. Is not this a matter of some importance to us 7 Are we U r driven f-otn this juU demand by an unintelligible clamour about plat'orms and parties?

We care not a fig for Bennet's Biil, or any other BiM. We approve tbe Legation, which has been hd upon this subject. . We find no fault with Mr. Cass or Mr. Douglas, who ha v succea-tully carried through similar measures for Michigan and Hindis. , o want Mr. Ashe, U elected, and the future Senators of North Ctrohna to do the same for cs as tb-eb leading Democrats have done fr their SUte.

But half a gtatc will prove that the Baltimore Resolution refers to the proceeds altogether, aud why? simple because the revenue from the lands already acrroed has not bn retained apart, bnt has bu, aud is disbursed like the revenue from the im ports ad has not ban distingniKbed from any utr nmney in the Treasury. We advocate ta measora ia vt4ving a departure from the platform, or from any recognise i principle. We promote uor favor, an t pjK.it policy. We want not the proceeds of the Un Js already sold, but a reasons tle hre with tbe other Mates, in the lands which remain to be sold for the common benefit.

The general average ratio "f the popular incres" iu the rst of the Union, being then, as now. abon 80 per cent, per annum. We wil' now look at Ohio. When in 1802 Tbomat JeSeioo approved the law giving that 8'ate t)i n-tweotieih part of all the public Ur.dviu bar limits, for Internal Improvement, her rypulton was but 45 865. Eight years af ter.

GLORIOUS NEWS FOR THE SOUTH 1 1 1 Our neighbor of the Standard in bis last number copies With approbation a Resolution of the Democracy of Tennessee. He says that "'a series of excellent resolutions were adopted,- and among them ons highly com plimentary to Gor. Andrew Johnson, and the following on the subjeot of the public lands." : This resolution is rather long, but closes thus "we see in it an admission of the wisdom of the policy proposed and advocated by oor wisest Demooratio ' statesmen, of set ting apart and reserving the public domain for the future homes of ourselves and chil dren. It is indeed time, in tbe language of President Jackson, that the public lands should oeasa to be looked : to as a source of revenue, or an object of plunder, and dedi cated to the encouragement of a hardy popu lotion, and tbe benefit of tkt actual settler" V If this is to be the true policy if this is the justice due to the old Thirteen, what is : to beooine of that other vaunted scheme, .... ; .. . . ... . about which the Standard has been eternally prating, "that the land proeeeds should co ftnus to go into the Federal Treasury where tbey properly belong V How then can it be-1 4ilike "property acquired by a firm or a part that these "lands should . be dedicated to the anAAnrnrrnnienl nfa rterirlo AAnnlafiAn an1 f ft A htn.161 at tfu aeiu.nl settler" hnenthiv enue totbe 6i of air the partners f mf f 14 Are the "aclul eettlers" ALL?.

State of Yankee growth, to tak their places iu 'he Senate to rote us down Upon, erery question affecting our vital interests," and finlly to control the government absolutely' and reduce us either to subjection or force us iota tbe horrors of general civil war." A pretty "hard population' truly !. "State after Sute of Yankee growth," having "the advantage of nine-tenths of the foreign popu lation," and this is to be tbe glorious consum mation of our prinoely domain! This ia to be the grand result of the splendid "partnership!' And this is wholesome Southern doctrine! So nourishing to our Democratic babes ! Do the high offioers of the grand Democratic army suppose that their "rank and file" are the most egregious simpletons living ? Do they look' on them as beasts of burden wear ing ears half a yard long ; with no patriotism, and not brains enough to find the way to mill i Verily, it would seem so. . MRf BRCH TrHrEirbF ACCEP TANCE. The last issue of tbe Standard contains Mr. Branch's letter accepting his nomination. The letter is manifestly intended as an elab orate defence of himself from the apprehend ed censure, of his party, npon his vote on the Deposit Bill. In other words, Mr. B. puts himself in the attitude of a seeker of pardon,' for doing right: There is good deal of the ett'er which oontain matters of fact not only; ostifyiug, but in t truth demanding impera tively, distribution of the surplus revenue. The overgrown wealth of the Federal .Gov- ernment, the notorious corruption in Con gress, &o., &o., all point to the necessity of disyribution, or'if you chose" to call it by a name which- falls more gingerly on Demo cratic ears, "Deposit," and every argument going to show tbe necesnty of distributing or "depositing tbe -surplus revenue, is an argument to "provef more unanswerably tb necessity 01 uisiriounug mo jtuouc jauaa, for r resident Jjuohanan says, and truly, tnat they are the source of, more corruption than all other tbing .couibiaod. .
