There was a member from New York, an intermeddling, intriguing, nischief making creature. , He .obtained eave of absence for the remainder of the tcssion, to the delight of everybody, some ais weeks or two months before the close About ten days, however, before the end of the session, this member of Congress re. yd to his seat in Congress, after hav- k'ng conlerred and communed with MAR TIN VAN RUREN, who was at that time a member of the New York Slate Sen ate; who was at that time maturing, fram ing and voting for resolutions instructing the New York Senators in Congress to vote against the admission of slavery into Mis souri, unless slavery should be excluded fr.m her borders.

So it appears that Judge Saunders buck led on the abolition armor at an early pe riod in his public career, having moved to emancipate a whole batch ot negroes at one sweep. The Difference. Every observing individual can see at half a glance, the diflVrence between the public meetings of the British Federal To ries and those of the Whigs. The Fede ral Tory meetings are as dull and as flat in their proceedings as stale beer or dead porter. The Whig meetings, on the con trary; atIiramiJy agrirftf,nr Ihusiasm and animation which is found no where else except in our public jubilees and national anniversaries. The Whig meetings are penerally attended by thous sands. The Federal Tory meetings are generally attended by dozens, and fifties, and at best by hundreds and this, too, after the office holders shall have issued their mandates and clapped every spur to the faithful which might be deemed effec tive. The "Whig meetings are universal ly composed of the people themselves, the true people, the whole people, of all pro fessions and callings, and more especially the Tanners. The Federal Tory meetings are composed of the office holders and of fice seekers, or the friends and connec tions of -the office seekers, The; Whigs are fighting for the people and the rights of the people. The Federal tones are contending for the office holders, against the people and their fights. The tTlorles of Vanburcnism. It is nnw reduced to a ceiiaintjtliere ia no room for mistake urt the subject. There will, at the ciose of the present fis cal vear. be a noaitive delicicncv in the lore tne Aummisuation hi tne egro wu ness candidate empires, Van Buivn will have run the Nation in debt FIFTY MILLIONS OF POLLARS. The peo ple ought to look wen to these alarming facts, and set accordingly. Two years ago, we had a surplus of fifty millions in the Treasury and one year hence, in debt to that amount. PUBLIC LANDS. This is a subject in which the people of North Carolina are deeply interested, and before they exercise their inestimable right of suffrage at the coming elections, it be hooves them seriously to enquire which party will maintain and defend their right in this vast domain this rich inheritance, purchased by the blood and treasure ol tne vvnigs 01 tne Kevoiutioni Let them remember that the Administration of Mr. Van Buren is openly and earnestly en deavoring to DEPRIVE THEM OF THIS RIGHT-that the Whigs are la boring to SECURE IT TO THEM.' Let them read and reflect upon the fol- lowinsiible and dispassionate article from the NcKJrlirk Express, which states that the interest of that State in the public lands is not less than from 70 to 100 mil lions of dollars. If this estimate be cor rect, the interest of North Carolina must be from FIFTY to SEVENTY MIL LIONS. Are the people of this State ,wm.'nS - sciuice ..tuia immense estate for the election of the negro witness can- diilalr ?;';'...'. . i..;.:;-..--; . It is a matter of great surprise, that the people ol tins fetate sit perfectly quiet, and apparently unconcerned, whilst the administration are carrying into effect the stupendous system of injustice, and it may with propriety be said, of fraud, by the operation of which. New York, and all th States in which there are no public lands, are to be robbed of their rights in that great national property, merely to propitiate a lew new States, and induce them to vote for Martin Van Buren as President of the United States. The in terest of this State in that vast national estate is truly immense not less proba bly, than from seventy to a hundred mil lions of dollars. Whatever (he-amount may be, it is of the highest importance to the future growth and prosperity of the State that it should not fie sacrificed or squandered. Whoever will take the trou ble to look over tc proceedings of Con gress will see, that there is a constant draft upon the lands. They are toted a way for a variety of purpose sometimes by pre-emption laws to lawless trespassers, sometimes for roads, and o(heipublic pur poses; and measures are constantly tak ing to dispose or them," as fast as may be, by peacemeal, until' the time shall 'arrive for a general sequestration of the whole, by -a cession of them to the - Slates in which they lie. The means fot this final dispokilion of lhetn ar Calhoan'a bill, now bi the first step. It proU re preparing. . Mr. before. Congiess, is n. It profiles lor the cession of the lands to the States in which thev m 14 1 Powerful in mora), in intellectual, and fn physical resources the land of our sires, and the RALEIGH, N. O lie, on certain conditions; one of which is, that the State shall pay 10 the United States, annuallr, fifty per cent, of the gross amount of the sales of such lands. We do not propose to go into a minute examination of (he various provisions of the bill. The one alluded tu is the most important; and it shews, that the people of the several states, lor .whose benefit alone the lands were relinquished by the States which were the original owners of tjtem to the United States, are not to have the least benefit from them. The fifty per cent., if ever paid back by the States to which they are to he reded, will go tu the United States, pats into their Treasury; and be disbursed by them lor any purpose to which they mry choose to apply it. But we consider this project of paying back any part of the proceeds, as mere flummery. Mr. Calhoun's bill has been rbefore the Committee on Public Lands during the present session, and a labored report on the. subject has been made by that o'mitiee?-' A of the different feelings and interests of the old and new States, and their tenden cy to conflicting measures, which will in crease in violence as their population ap proaches nearer to equality, and stating that it will run into Presidential elections; t savs that "There is. in fact, a -rowin tendency to conflict, and that its force has increased with the growth .ot the new States, will not be denied by any conver sant with the proceedings of Congress for the last ten or twelve years, and who have witnessed the increase, both in numbers and excitement, of questions growing nut of the public lands. The cause in which it originates will continue to act with in creased strength, just in proportion as the new-States become more capable of at strling with effect their view of tAepoi. cy u('cA ought to prevail in reference to the lunds, till they shall have attained an ascendency in the councils of the Union, when they trill demand at a right, much ! more than they would now readily accept1 1,8 S n examination of these a satitfactory adjustment.

H. Harrison is not worthy of your confidence as a candidate for the Presidency. Among other things no ticed in that sheet, you have the law nf the territory of Indiana, and the bill dis cussed in the Ohio Legislature; portray, ed to your view in all their horrid de formity, as they would have you believe. ofif their.b .rrowed plumes, (hat you may Ol MiniSlimcnt, Willie 1 ICIl IIIC PCOlle oft,.i9 ,aw w ... . mU,f o of the Legislature of Indiana at that time? No. Or was be there aidinir ape or manner, shame! Don t try to subserve narty purMses by such reckless means. Let truth have her nonunion over your tongues. The bearing that this law is intended to have on Gen. Harrison re minds me very much of a law in force a mnng savages. If you, an American, kill an Indian, the friends of the deceas ed require your blood; and if they can't get yours, they will sacrifice the life of the firsiw bite- man' llwyrtineeLAThi; savage Jaw js perfectly in keeping with tho Van Bureii party. Their puny arm cannot reach the people's representa tives, who passed the law fn question, and for w ant of power to execute judg ment upon (he guilty, they are willing to sacrifice Gen. Harrison, or Any body rfse7:;7::;::- Let us next take up the bill of the other Legislature wherein Gen. Harri S'ui is censured for votingfor its passage. This bill passed the House of Commons and was Jostin the Senate bya small majority. Gen.' Harrison voted in its favor, under the following circumstan ces: There was a penitentiary in the state of Ohio. In 1820 it became a tax to the state of gSO.OOO; previous to 1 820, the smallest penitentiary offence was glO; the Legislature raised it front 10 to 50 dollars. Tliis circumstance, re collect, gave rise to the bill that Gene ral Harrison is ho much censured for; the object of which was tn punish those who had, under the law previous to 18- 20, committed a penitentiary offence. The object of tho bill was to punish those who had been guilty of offences against the state. for a less amount than fifty dollars fine and costs. There were three propositions before the Legists. titrC 1st. Fine and Imprisonment, the payment nf fine and cost a part of the sentence. . 2nd. To compel the convict to work" on ihc public highway, under home of our affections S xo. yl an ovrrsecr. Sid. To sell or lkW-X offender out for the aliortesf length of time, to any ponton that would pay the Mine ninl cost. OT the three proposition 1 of the Legislature, which would vou jprrfeir If von are fined ant! imprison led, tho payment of which is a part of the sentence, you arr doomru to remain 111 jail tho balance of your days! If you arc required to work on tho public high ways, under a master or an overseer, you have no right to expect much leni ty shown you. If you are sold or hired, I think there is more probability of your being kindly treated; for we ilou't commonly find as, much severity exer cised in private families as is practised by overseers. Moreover, this is the course pointed out by the Conititution of Ohio. See article 8, section 2, where it says there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in this State, hrtwitftrabff ina rrilIu.s wi,cri.f tie ,)u, C0HVicted. ty shall have The enquiry very naturally arises. who was this law intended to punish? Is it the honest farmer? NO! Is it the honest merchant? NO! Is it the hon est mechanic, either millwright, car penter, blacksmith or Hlmcmakci? NO! Well, pray tell us who this Harrison law is to punish? Strang to tell, fel low citizens, it is the ROOUE, the be ing in human shape that would rob your smoke-house or corn-crib! This is the character that the Vaubureniti s have manifested so much sympathy fur; nor is it to be woudere I at. Is that all? No. Wbeti i-nguea ara disposed of in this war, honest men are not taxed to support them. Honest men try to pay their debts; and I think rogues ought to be made to pay theirs. Let us next turn our attention to the object, the meu and tire means used in this unholy warfare against thn charac ter of a man who has done more for his Countryman, William Henry Harrison, the fame of Martin Van Buren, who has forfeited all claim to your confi dence! by increasing the expenses of (be government, in time of peace, about double what they were under any other President who preceded him by oppo sing the right of suffrage to poor w hite men, in the convention of New York' (see reported proceedings pages 181 & 182) who voted to extend the right of suffrage to free, negroes with a small property. Here, fallow citizens, you have a striking evidence of Van Buren's principle. A free negro is preferred be- fore-yonr bee atte "forsooth lie happens to be worth a few more shillings than you are. woo has to light the Dailies of your country ? 7 Is it the rich man? Nol Is it tho' free negroes, with Mar tin Van Buren at their side? No. It is the poor men of the country, with Wm. Henry Harrison at their side. Such has been the ease, and such would be the case again, if the occasion requir ed it. Are these the only objections to Mir. tin Van Buren? No. He has decided most unequivocally that free negroes and slaves are competent witnesses a gainst white men in a alaveholding ter ritory, I w ili giveTyou the particulars of tho rase. In the mouth of May, 1839, Lieutenant llooo was tried on rertaitvxl against him. by Coiniuodore .Levy, of the ship Vandnlia. The trial took place on board the shiji Macedonia, then ly ing in Ponsarola Bay, within the limits of Florida. On tho trial, there were two coloured persons sworn and exam ined, one a free person, and the other the slave of t he aaid Commodore Levyr Their evidence was objected to by the accused. Notwithstanding tho objec tion, the court decided that they should be examined as evidence against Lieu tenant George M. Uooe. The Lieuten ant was found guilty and dismissed from the Navy. He appealed to the Presi dent, as a child would to a kind parent, conscious of having suffered a wrong and w hat do you think was the decision of the President? , With the fact of the negroes having been summoned, sworn, and examined against an honorable man, an officer of our Navy, the President endorsed on the bark of the proceedings of the Court Martial, that he saw ni.lh ing that required his interference ! ! ! !
