On the one hand all thi public State works, buildings and institution areerec-te and support ed by donations from the General Govern rort, while we are obliged to tax ourselves for the self, same objects or go without tbem; and even our very subject of taxation are drawn away to fill the prosperity of the "rVJeat, by the very cause which prodjew our decline). rat BaLTiMoax rLATroaw. Ever since ls40, the lWncratic party in its several Conventions wwei1 a resolution in sub stance, "That the public lands are the common property of all the States, that they are held by the Genera Government in trust, to lie sold and tbeir profits placed in the public treasury, and thus appropriated to the common benefit, by defraying the expenses of the Government.'. I have often roted for this resolution and approved it till I saw it deserted by d-m ruts from all s-i-tioii of the cnuntry; that indeed the merg UnAe rm would re turn direct from Baltimore to Washington, and vote for the largit donations to States and private corporation of this very land, in utter violation of the intent and meaning as well as the letter of the resolution. When in 1848 I supported Genl Cass bv speeches In near twenty counties of thi State, 1 advocated the casueof a democrat who had given his aid and support to every application for land donation, in the North WeL Mr. Doug Is, Inn" my favorite for Um Presidency, and the second cLoica of the Democratic party l this State ia 1852. had built up Illinois by the donations and voted for nearly all the rest. When the De mocratic party in Congress made Mr. B"jd Speaker of the Ilosise of Representative they voted for a man who had introduced and advocat ed a bill to give all the land to the State in which tbey lie, for a mere nominal price.

Mr. IVrLinsvof Lou isiana, a favorite of Genl Pierce, and to whom was committed by the State Department to re form the-Diplomatic and Consular system, intro duced a bill but little different from Mr. Boyd's, by which the whole of the land was to be absorb ed by the State in which they are sititated-4onIy he postp'med for ten years the completion of the iniquity. Mr. Andrew Johnson, just elected Sen ator by the Dem cratic larty of Tennessee, not only ha favored those gif a of land, but has even gone far beyond, by advocating a proposition to give away at one lunge, one hundred millions to individuals, native and foreigners, who choose to settle on them and call them theirs. , The Cincinnati Convention which nominated Mr. Buchanan, broke down the Baltimore Plat form on this question, and passed a resolution to build the Facido Kail Road out of the public land, by giving the necessary amount,' a hundred mil lion of acre or more, to corporations or one mammoth Company, and Mr. Buchanan acqui esce in the measure and supports it. - ORTHODOX T.

The people have no idea of the corruption of this system, or they would not be blinded by this delusion. But if it were true that these donations im prove the remaining land and indemnify the gov ernment, would not a donation to North Caro lina, in freeing fi r from debt, and enabling her to complete her works, tend to improve her prop erty, build up her population, and greatly In crease the revenue to be derived from her by the gneral government? The argument sustains distrilsitiou as well as the other system. CO.VSTITVTIOXALITT OF DIHTaiBCTIOX. The opponent of distribution say that it is un constitutional. ithout claumna to And the . tower to distribute in the clause authorizing Con-t gres to 'dikwe of land."' &c, I answer, the land ha been distributed from the earliest periods of the Government ; only it has been partially and unjivtly distributed. Bat I find the power to distribute, exactly where Mr. Jefferson found the power to acquire territory. Louisiana: yet lie derived the power from the ne- vity of the rase, and he was sustained by the Democratic party throughout the oaintry. A Hrce.uity equally as urgent and pressing demands litri bui ion. The land system has become by all authority a urce of the nvet iniquiUaie corrup tion, consuming much of the time of every Con- i greiw, prolonging its serious, increaing it ex- nUitures, producing log rolling, lobby canvass ing, bribery and all sort ofdisbonest combination. B.it the oecrjtotcering necessity is, that this valua ble domain, a common property, which all have contributed to juy for, and which belongs alike to all, is mltingaway,islicingditributedtoa fsirt, and the twlance of the owners left wholly without it benefit. Again, this land fund is now no longer needed for the expenses of the (Jovernment- It' is now ascertained, that the lower the tariff is reduced, 4 and the morechwcl v the revenue basis i approximat ed, without going below it, the larger will be the re venue produced, kach year, since 18 16, there has been an increasing surplus, and immense sums have been locked up in the public treasury to the great injury of commerce and manufactures. ThU evil, and the necessity of some policy to avert the un just distribution, has inaugurate a principle far worse than air distribution of the land itself.-- I mnn the drpmife system, for which all tho Dem ocratic memliers of Congress from this State felt compelled to vole. If thi xite be anything else than distribution, it is a policy the moet dan gerous to States rights ever entered on. By it, the (Jeneral Government becomes a money lender ; the States, borrowers of their own fun. Is ; and as a temptation to frequent and unnecessary loan, they are not to par interest, and only morally bound for the reimbursement of the loan. Suppose North Carolina were called upon to day t pay back the sum deposit.! under the act f ld.td that sum constitutes her school fund. She would be obliged to restore it, or repudiate. What von l,t become of her Common School sys tern in this event? And yet, according to the principle of depotite, the event is likely and pro bable. The system i at variance with State rights and State dignity. If, however, no intermt is charged, and the money is never to be called for and not to be refunded, then a dm.icratic pa per if this State, Vrid-ly circulated and highly rejm table, both fjr the ability with which it is conducted and the inbiiidence of its Editors, I mean the " Wilmington Journal." said truly, Deposit is the same thing as Distribution " and to pretend otherwise is a cover and dveit. But it is said d'udribut'um is impractimhle, that the measure is dead and cannot be revived. The same mav be said of all measures, if no effort be made. But let us see the facts. Mr. Bennett, of New York, ha twice introduced a distribution bill, not very fair in its details, into the House of KereenUUves. Once, if I am not mistaken, it passed that body. At another session it com manded a tie vote. At present, there is no doubt if the South unite, a bill will pass. The action of North Carolina.could produce it in the House and in the Senate. The non-landholding State have a majority, and tbey are vitally interested to pass this measure ; and, it is not to be supposed that the present Chief Magistrate of the nation, WW) niHVV iu: ihiiiuhik wi wio i kiui; luuirwi . ,l. l.:i.i: T. :l l (ut wf yh bHo UmU wollld interpose the execu. tive veto upon a bill fairly distributing among .,. . . , - tjii the several propnetar tneir common property. Thi Ls, at this time, a vital question to North Carolina. She has a debt and liabilities of near ten million of dollars. ' She has a system of Kail roads commenced but not finished, and which, in their incomplete condition will produce no revenue if they keep op and pay their debts, while the stork of some of them is selling for $25 to $30 on the hundred. The taxes upon the people amount Nov to more than five hundred thousand dollars, beside specific debt for which certain counties have N Mind themselves, and these taxes, must of neceMsity, be still further increased. The people cannot for a .long time bear this taxation with their limited resources. Within the next two yean provision must be made to pay a large amount of the principal of the debt ; and this must be done by additional taxation, or a renewed loan. The former is impossible. No Legislature would pass a tax law to draw in one or two years a million and a half of dollars ; and tho people could not support it if it were passed. - A new loan from Peter to pay Paul' is inevitable. The example h iving already been set, of borrowing' at mora than 6 per crntby a Corporation in the State ; she cannot hope to fasue her bonds at that interest and effect a sale, and if she issues them at a greater Interest, tho securities now out will be further de preciated. The people have then to look in the lace, a taxation within tho next two years of from six to seven hundred thousand dollars a year. How uit to be levied?. In thus times of panic and pressure it will be a burdensome draft upon the hard earnings of the people; and I greatly fear it will drive population., and property out of the Stale. . .. - ... .

I think about twen- ty-seven millions of acres were sold in two years of Mr. Pierce's administration ; at this rate, lit would not require ten years to sell the whole. Be- i sides, no State would be deposed to sacrifice its warrants, for if they could npt be sold at fair prices, they coulk be held as a land to meet the States indebtedness, and thus the credit of the State would be preserved and her bonds kept at par ; while at ltuut enough could be sold from year to year to make a valuable sinking fund. The Government will still bave left twelve hun dred millions of acres in the territories to meet any exigency, and long before this is exhausted v.ir t'i. v. .

This, sold at even a dollar an acre, will yield enough to pay her debt, to double her school j fund, and then allow for extension of Railroads ! three or four millions of dollars. II Now will our people longer hoitate; The question i U now more than ever alive. This is the accepted and the best time. There is no organized opposi tion to the Democratic party, indeel there is but one party at the South. No harm can come of a discussion of this question. If a candidate were to place himself before the people for Governor on this issue in the old fashioned way before caucuses were invented, what matters it? A democrat would be elected an v way. For my own part, 1 wish some practical farmer, a Democrat, would(take this issue in hand and appeal to the people upon it. I find leading Democrats in every county endors ing it; it only needs organization, a press, and a leader, to secure ita triumph in the democratic party. - There ia no better opening- for a yoaag man of talents than to take charge ofa paper at Raleigh ad-viK-ating this issue a sufficient fund ia already in hand to place such an enterprise beyond danger, and a commanding subscription list could soon be obtained for a Democratic Administration paper on in is aasn. - ; It is my solemn belief that a' more vital issue was never presented. Its success would convert our condition from thraldom to ease and indepen dence, it would be done' out of ourown property. Our children would be educated, free schools would multiply and flourish, our system of Rail Roads be completed. Then might sre see the tide of emigration stayed, our representation in Congress increase, our population and resources developed; and every son and daughter of North Carolina might point with pride and joy to her prosperous and happy conditiom I am my, dear Sir, very truly your friend and obd't serv'L I D.

Rich. Whig, Statesmen. A Missouri paper, a short time . a since, made itell supremely ridiculous oy eulogiz ing Messrs. Hunter and Wise as great statesmen ! They hardly knOw the meaning ot the term. Mr. Hunter u a gentlemanly man, who, after long preparation, can make a pretty fair speech, aihd ho is' very keen at keeping in office. He has, In deed, an instinctive knowledge of the popular side on all great questions. But it is a perversion of terms to call him a great statesman.' I Still more ridiculous is it to apply the term to our neighbor. Uf all tne men who nave played a conspicuous part in V lrginia he is the least En titled to that distinction. A statesman is a man of long views and far-reaching sagacity. Now, if "Gizzard-Foot" ever saw beyond the tip of h9 nose in any matter j except such as are connected with electioneering, we have vet to learn whett it happened. It is true, he understands the artsj of a canvass very well ; but we venture to suggest that these are distinctive of the demagogue, not the statesman. The true statesman, making up his opinions from reflection based upon facts, will pot surrender them even at the cost of his popularity. Wise will give up anything for the sake of popu larity h is opinions, his conviction, his everything. This" may arise from the fact that he has no fixed opinions upon any subject, as he certainly hasl'no clear views of anything, except what ia popular or the contrary. That he can see plainly enough;.

The election passed off in an unusually quiet manner. In the evening, however, the excite ment and enthusiasm in and around the head quarters of the politicians and newspaper offices was intense. Pending the announcements they were addressed by Gen. Follett, Coroner Conntry, a host of small lights, and, later in the evening, by Capt. Rvnders and John Cochrane.
