very wisely to that end, if yon keep out of tbe
receipt of the Treasury all money bat such pa

you depress the character of the local circulation.'
How irresistabte the conclusion 1 And how
astonishing, that southern men should be found

Congress, allowing Settlers on tbem tbe right of

their purchase. To enable you to understand
the foundation of tbe claicn which N. Carolina
has to a proportionate share of the proceeds ari
sing froa the sale of fbe public domain, it may
be necessary to give a htie history of the cessions
made by the several 'States to the General Gov
ernment At the time the articles of confedera
tion were recommended, several States objected
to them, because the waste and uncultivated
land within the territory of some of the States
was not surrendered as a common fund to defray
the expenses incurred during the war of the
Revolution. This war had brought on the Slates
a heavy jforeign debt -the Public credit was like

by ihe difficulties which appeared in the way of
establishing a more; permanent and settled Uov

THE PRESIDENCY.
tHow nioy votes think yoo Mr. Van Daren
would get in the contest, if he had to depend
on his own merits, unaided by the patrooageot his
office ? How many would he have received in
the first contest, if he had not been aided by the
patronage of Geo. Jackson and his overw helfjfe
ing popularity ? Is it not time to take tbe alarm
when we see the pablic. money laid out to buy
us a President ? Not only the public money,
but that sacred soil itself, for which our fathers
fought and bled, the public lands are thrown in
to the market for the same - purpose. Can - no
thing be done to prevent the means and influ
ence of the Government from thus being em
ployed against tbe free choice of ihe people ?
We answer that we know of only one effectual
mode, and that is, never elect a President for a
second termV Take a man who is not involved
in any way with the intrigues of party. Take
one of tbe people unpledged to any political fac
tion, and free to administer the Government fur
the best good of the tvbole above all, take an I
honest man. ' A i
It may be said that Mr. Van Buren will have
no temptation to manage for his party after the
second election. Indeed ! ! Has he no promises
to redeem? If we are not greatly mistaken al
ready has the succession been a matter of aspi
ration if not of positive arrangement. What
means the late strange and unnatural reconcilia
tion between Cataline and Grimalkin f Be
tween the Nullifier and Proclamationistf What
means the ill concealed jealousy of the great ex
pungcr ? what means, in a word, the softened
tone of Mr. Calhoun and his immediate follow-?
ers, towards the unclean birds, whom they so
lately denounced in such unsparing terms f No,
no, as the great fond of corruption, tbe public
strong box, has been getting empty, we may
well suppose that other promises to pay, besides
treasury notes, have been issued, to meet the
exigencies of the party. No doubt there are
many pledges made in advance of the next
term of offices and honors. If nothing of grat
itude could be expected from tbe cat-tike nature
of the Magician, tbey still have a gnaranUce in
his implacable hostility to fbe Whigsand in the
habits which a loog course of political stock
jobbing have fixed in his very nature. ' Let us
then go out of these hacneyed walks and' lake
a -man who has made no pledges. Who can
ask if the candidate for office is capable and
honest, and can act as he wishes when he is sat
isfactorily answered. ' ,
There is one other ground on which Gen. Har
rison is strongly commended to ' the people of
thb nation. It would have a gxd effect on the
industrious habits of a great many who are now
drones in the hive. Yoo cannot helpknow
ing that there are thousands of loungers about
our villages, who not having been brought op to
labor, think it a disgrace to work. ' If we shall
set the good example of electing a man to the
Presidency, who handles his own rake" spade,
and labors in his own cornfield, it will undoubt
edly have some good effect In removing this
false pride from the minds of many, and thus
add much to the productive Industry of the coon
try. It may be salotary in another respect. If
we have a hard-fisted man for our President, he
may feel some sympathy for the hard fisted part
of his fellow-citizens, and may! think it not amiss
to open the door of offices and honors to them as
well as to Court-houses and Tavern politicians.
A man who iides io an English hafriot, Vith
silk velvet cushions, and sports his six blooded
grays, under the long lash of a white driver,'
and takes yoo by the hand with a silk glove on
his own five digits, is not likely to find out the
evidence of laborious merit in the palm of his
feUow-citizen. It takes a free-mason of the same
order, to wit, of the order of the mattock and
plough to make this discovery. Let this ; pass
port Into office once be established, & we should
hardly hear of so manyj defalcations amonr the
money-holding officers. The people's work
would be better done by men who ba bem
breught up to working habits and cheaper. As
things now stand it takes two sets of officers to
do the public business, one to stay at Washing
ton, and another to ride about the country and
electioneer. ' Have you never seen ooe of the
latter class amongst us here? Have yon not
read of tbem in every part of the Union. Have
you not learned that members of Congress can
quit their stations abandon the trust confided
to them by the people, and goj about harranging
for the cause in which.tbey have enlisted. NayV
do we not know tbat the great head of the party
himself spent three months last Summer on an
electioneering tour to New Vulk.
