MR. HAYWOOD'S SPEECH.
From the Mecklenburg Jcjfcrsonian.
Sept. 4.
(Continued Jrom lust No.)
Mr. H. satd he should like to have the
ear of every Whig voter in western North
Carolina, to a calm review of this land- nrnn
ley question. The Whig ;,vv to diiribut,
it was not a law to elitribute according to
Federal population; but it was a law to giv
to nine new Stales about live millions ol
the lands, to be chosen by ihe States, and
then ta divide. It was not even o good
as that. 'These five millions of lands b'ing
picked out first, ihe new States (Noith
Carolina not being one of tem) were to

both new and old. The Whig politicians
Slid to the Whig people of N. Carolina.
Let us go for the land money alike to all
the Slates, old and neW; for all the lands
are the "common properly of all ihe
States. " The whig people endorsed this
draft upon ihem, and no other. And
what had they gained? A full share?
North Carolina's just share? No; nothing
like it. And even that diminished shate :

by the very men and the identical Congress l
Who promised to give us our whole share!
But i! wis still worse than this. 'The
law to distribute ihe land money, passed

Conditional. It has been plausibly insis
ted upon, that the 10 per cent, gilt to the
new States is also unconditional, and it mav
be so: yetthedistribution of the residue, it
u oeen snown, was upon a condition, and
uy virtue oi tnat condition nau been since,
nullified. Then, said Mr. H., these politi
cians had made a distribution law to give
to the old Slates less than right, then took it
back and added new burdens to the people;
whilst they gave the new States magnifi
cent donations which they cannot revoke,
nd to pre-emptioners they gave privileges
tvhich they oannot suspend, or have not
suspended.
So me person in the crowd remarked:
"Is it possible?" upon which Mr. H
responded: He knew that such revelations
must appear incredible; b it they weie
true, certain, and capable of proof by a ref
erence to the acts of the Ia9l Congress,
which he had procured that morning; and
though he had not time lo read them to the
people, he pledged his veracity that he had
stated the facts as he understood them and
he believed he understood the facts cor
rectly. The press, he hoped, would take
care to circulate them, and let the whig
people of the west read them, in their log
Cabins at home. This was the question
up ) i which the Hod. James Graham, and
ihe Hon. A Mitchell, and the Hon. A
Ucneh.'r, Whig members of the last Con

ates; aa I'lho' he ha J not hejrd anJ did not
know their reasons, it was certain that the
first mined g.-ntleman had been turned out

What had the Whig people of the west
gained by all thi?
I he politicians had done and undone,
oassod laws and repealed them, until thev

The pretext that Mr. Tyler proved trea
cherous to i hem cannot avail, if it had been

was nullified, for litis loo he sanctioned.

(if lime allowed) he would have something
to say. 'Then there was no excuse fur the
politicians to the people!

patience of his hearers, and consumed his

What had they gained by the political tri
umph of their p.wiy p-diticians in North
Cundinu? One or two short statements
should ullice to ansvver. Unfortunately
our people, and even our public men, had
been so engrossed by national politics that
it was no! easy to present an intelligible
natt.itive of facU on our home affairs, with

The Lcg:-hlure of North Carolina In
1S36 was Democratic the State at that
time devoted to the Literary Fund, to ac
cumulate for the benefit of Free Schools,
about two millions of Dollars, ihe income
of which was to be afterwards paid lo the
Counties according to the number of white
children in each. This rule of division

What, sod he, in a few words, was that
policy? To appropriate out of cash already
on hand, .a half million in stock to secure
the creation of one Nail Road across the
State from our chief sea port to the Virgin
ia line, and so to apply ihe residue as might

he was willing to try it. His policy yvjs,
and still is to Connect the East and West
together, and holding the means, without
any resort to Taxes, he staked himself,
and his popularity to preserve and lo ap
ply them to that object. He did not re
$ret it. He gloried in it. He even voted
against subscribing to the Hail Road which
runs from Raleigh to Gaston, though h
represented Wake county t because it vio

Hut what had become of the Internal Im
provement Fund which the policy of the
Democratic Legislature of '36 looked to
preserving for Western Improvement?
Have the West gained any thing by the
Whig majority of 1S38 becoming liable
for the tfaleigh and Gaston Rail Road
Company to the amount of 5500.000; and
in 1S40 for 5300,000 more? The payment
of thfse Debts will so far exhaust the
Stales' means as to postpone Western Im
provements a long while. He did not
complain of the 500,000 loan. Perhaps,
it could not hire been said to have subver

censure the Legislature for not being i'wi

overturn the policy of 1S36, S300.000, ln
giving it to the Hail Hoad Company with

Mr. II., il he had been in favor of all this?
How did that make up any part of the loss

though an Internal Improvement man, he
was not responsible for this altered policy.
Whilst he wis a ptivate citizen and noth
ing more, he had heard of charges against
him and the policy of 1S3G, but remained
silent: now that he was a public man, he
wished to be correctly understood, he
thought it quite fair to bear the burdens of
his own errors, but not be obliged to share
thoe of his political opponents. What

would Indeed be a "new fashioned Bank,"
one lor which all ihe people would vote.

with all his heart. But party deception
had spent its power on this subject, and the
political advocates of a Bank of the United
States deserve credit for their candor, in
admitting; that they are in favot of 'ofi old
0Vfashioned Rank." Th new fashioned
Bank that would pay off the debts of the
people, was given up as chimerical. Mr.
Tyler's '-new fashioned Bank" Had been
repudiated by his own trumpeters of 1840.
and the Hank parly are all for ''an old
fashioned National Bank"! Now, he did
not quarrel with his countrymen for being
Bank men, they thought for themselves,
and he was free to think for himself; yel

will never follow their politicians; for an

From the liaeigh Register.
Ji Tutor Slabbed. We mentioned in
our last, the death of Mr. Dwijht one of
the Tutors in Yale College, produced by
wounds inflicted by a Student, named
Fassett, who is now under arrest. Tlv-
circumstances of the case are as follows:
building. Eithei the smoke or the noise
j attracted the attention of some members of
ihe Faculty, & they entered to suppress it,
when those engaged in the process escaped
"by the windows, aitd being disguised, got
! off undetected. This affair had about fub-
: aided, when some of the Tutors, whose at
tention hod again been directed to the
j same room, hearing the breaking of glass,
rushed forward and seized such as did not
succeed in making their escape. Among
these was Lewis Fassett, of Philadelphia,
a youth about 10 years of age who was
caught by Mr. D wight. Fasset struggled
hard to liberate himself, and in ihe contest
the Tutor was stabbeel with a bowie knife
three times, when he relinquished his hold
and the yOUng man escaped. The weapon
enured the groin once, near the femoral
ariery, and although bldod was profusely
discharged) no danger was apprehended
from the Wounels, for they soon were neatly
healed. In fact, Dr. D wight walked a
little on the subscqeienl days, ahhough his
nervous system was greatly excited. Some
little lime had elapsed when an inflamma
lory fever set in, but, up to Thursday, his
Phvsician saw no alarming symptoms ex
hibiting themselves; on that evening, his
disorder suddenly assumed a new rbpect,
arid before morning -he expiied. Mr
Dwight had recendy been appointed Tutor
in Yale College, and was highly esteemed
by all the Students who had been under
his instructions. His father formerly resi
ded in Richmond, Va. but now lies in
New Haven anil his heart is deeply lacera
ted by this untimely death of a beloved
son. Mr. Dwight was 21 years of age, a
graduate of Yale in 1840, and a grandson
of Presielcnt Dwight, who presided so ma
uy years with such faithfulness over this
venerated institution. Young Fasseti's
parents reside in Philadelphia. Hi father
is an estimable man, and is deacon of Rev.
Albert Barnes' Church.
Something New. A man was tried
Jlately at ihe Court of Assizes, Canada West,
for stealing a trunk and its contents. Th8
theft Was committed on a boa' that plies be
llou.
All this is clear enough, but now tomes
; the pinch of the case. The owner of the
trunk applied to the Court that it might be
restored to him, but this the Court refused,
saying that ihe prisoner miM be first con
viciedt the prose. -utor must apply to th6
Governor of New Voi k for a requisition on
the Governor of Canada, to have ihe thief
surrendered for Irial in New York, and
then he must be prosecuted to conviction
in New York before the property could b6
restored.
The owner did not choose to take all thii
trouble, so the prisoner was discharged .
taking the trunk wilh him of course.
This seems to be rather a crooked course
for justice to run. AT V. Commercial.
