We think that the different varieties of the gum tree have a decided taste for solitude.

We copy the foregoing statement from the "Stan dard," which derives it from the public records. It shows clearly that the States of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey thought then, what the people of North Carolina think now, that they were equally entitled with the western States, to a share of the public lands. Their complaint was reasonable. Their blood and treasure were expended iu acquiring the wes- i.pn trritrrtri from tha. common enemy, and tbey felt that it was unjust their share by Virginia, New score of having indefinite bbu Congress coincided with the little States in this opinion, and urged upon the States claiming the lands the justice of ceding them to the Federal Governuieut, as a confmon fund, for the pay ment of a common debt, which was then looked upon as almost irredeemable with the limited resources of the country. They did so, and the Standard" informs us that Cessions were accordingly made by.New York in 1781, by Virginia in 1784, by Massachusetts in 1785, by South Carolina in 1787, by North Hamlino. in 1789. bv Connecticut in 1800, and hr Gnorfria in 1802. The preamble ot the deed of cession of North Carolina is as follows: "Whereae, the United State in Congress as sembled have repeatedly and earnestly recom mended to the respective States in the Union claiming or owning vacant western territory, to mako cessions of part of tbe same as a lurtner mean?, as well of hastening the extinguishment of debts as of establishing the harmony of the United States ; and the inhabitants of tbe said western territory being also desirous that sucb cession should be made, in order to obtain a more nmnlo nmtection than thev have heretofore re MMvad : Now this State, beinz ever desirous of doing ample justice to the public creditors, lhnn.t ld North Carolina 11 as well as the es- tahlUhinr tlm harmonr if the United States, e - . .... . .. ,i patriotic and Cniou-lovingold ftortn Carolina ij and" complying with the reasonable desires of land, and New, jersey, are ngwneirt bff pracU S!j from ail prtfcintipn pro rwrtr.-h tha no lie r of the Uemocraiic pct , and, ij$'ty9:mQJ S&.-k Tjbo fro iimilarJy m HfTOcefsiorl'pfihe landortheiiproeeias.

As to the ceded lands being & pnmmon fund, the deed of cession says, "thai all the lands intended to be ceded by virtue- of this act to the United States of America, ana not appropriated as before mentioned, shall be connidHred as a common fund for the use and benefit of the United States, Worth uaroima in I'oJrJ. mJm Ut tJirir resoectiBC and u$uu proportion iu tie general charge and expenditure. and shall be laithtully disposed or tor tnat pur pose, and for no other tue or purpose whatever. The Editor of the "Standard" emphasises cer. tain expressions in the 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 tbe United States, Korlh Carolina included. These words were rather mal-apr'opo, and there fore passed over as unceremoniously as possi ble. Now, what we maintain, and what all Democrats who prefer country to party, main tain, is thaf North Carolina is not included in the approved locofoco method of dis posing of the publio lands. Though she ceded the whole State of Tennessee to the Federal Treasury, when funds were absolutely necessary to prevent national bankruptcy, she is now de nicd, practically, any share in the common fund, when it has ceased to bo essential to the public credit. The democratic party profess to be in favor of selling the public lauds and placing the proceeds of sale in the common treasury; but practically, as every one knows, three-fourths of them are from year to year given away to the new States for making Rail Roads, and other pur poses. It is known too, that a strong party, not confined to any section of tbe country exclusive lyis insisting upon the enactment of a general homestead law in other words, upon giving away the public lands to actual settlers ; this party had sufficient strength in the last Congress to pass the homestead bill through the House of Representatives, and it is constantly growing and spreading. Its foremost champion is the locofoco Governor elect of Tennessee, An drew Johnson ; and its friends are numerous and powerful all over the North, West and South West The eastern States must stand by each other on this question without reference to par ties, or they will be stripped of every vestige of the lands. . Such a bill as Bennett's is absolute ly nocessary to insure tbe participation sf North Carolina in the common property of the Nation The "Standard's" quibbles upon the Consti tutionality of sucb a measure as Bennett's Bill are scarcely worthy of serious consideration, the learning displayed by tbe editor to the con trary notwithstanding. The -Constitution de clares that "Congress snail have jnwer to dis pose of and make all needful rules and regula tions respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States.' This would be ample authority one would suppose, for ce ding the lands back to tbe States to whom they equitably belong. The Editor admits .that "dis pose" means to give a ajr, and alienate, as well aa to sell ; bnt he quibbles upon the fact that nothing is said about "distributing", the lands or their proceeds nmongthe. States, ' He insists that tbey were to be regarded as a "common fund' to be used for ths common -benefit Bat he himself shows, as we have quoted above, that tbey were thrown into the common Treasury to satisfy the smaller States, whiah were cut off by 'their boundaries from any participation in tbe western lands, though equitably entitled to a share ihd also as the only possible nreaos of paying the Revolutionary debt IJowi that debt will in a year or two become the law of the land, j top, to tbe Dompcratie party, and consider when there will be a general oat-pounngonii M ,j0 longer trust worthy. f - -great Northern -and 'European hives, .who will Now, we. wllf thank the "Standard' for an ex take up every acre of the pnbUci domain that is pijgjt anewer to this question t Do you to-day worth a farthing.

There is 8omethingkcapUvaung in the idea of being presented with a farm of eighty or one 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 tbe west, and of securing a legal title, would amount to the full value of a quarter -section of land ; yet these considerations would be lost sight of, and our State wouldbo depopulated by a general rush of our landless fellow citisena to the free homesteads in the valley of the5- Mississippi, or beyond the Rocky Mountains I, ' i, V ...
