Good policy, therefore, dictates that such indulgence should be extended to these debtors as will eventually secure the pay ment of the debt, 'and 'induce 'them to re gain among us as useful citizens. 4rii"te CAPITOL. 1 deem it scarcely necesary to call your attention to the Public Square and the ;ap itol.

THE SWAMP LANDS. No sale of the Swamp Land drained by 'the State have been vet made. An at 'temht waVmade'to'cfl'ect a sale In 1$4I, shortly after he drainage of a portion of the lands but the general pecuniary em barrasment W.c'h then prevailed, caused but little attention to be paid to the sales; '& the few bids made were so low, that the Board did not deem Ht prdpe'r to accept fthm No attemnt to sell has been since made, because the iWrd deemed the rimes unpropitious, and believed the lands to dc "daily increasing in value by the decomposi tion of the vegetable matter, gieatly hasten ed by the drainage. PUBLIC LANtfS. To make such improvements and to 'erect "such charitable insiitutions as we need, the S,fate mut have money. To Vaife funds for such use by taxation, would be bJ:-;:emoirfc to he citizens. It seems o me o fu'hd'can more appropriately belong vto .ho States than that arising from the safes 'of the public lands, &. that that lund can be ho way applied more advantageously than la-ihe im'pr6vernents of the social and natu ral condition oYthe Stated. There can be no further use for with holds the fund from the States, under torete: that it is needed for the use of the Genc-rd Government. The present tariff will !;-;se an amount amply suHinent to Wet all the exigencies of the General Government, economically administered: and we now hav'e borne assuYance that the Tariff wtn'co'ntrnue uninterrupted, and the protective '&ncy become firmly establish ed. Indeed, so thoroughly convinced have the people become, that the doctrine of Free Trade, whalever it may be in theory, is in practice a mere humbug, that in the late contest for the Presidency, no candi date appeared advbeating that doctrine both the rival candidates advocating the principle of protection. Now is the time to I ftrWi for a distribution ol this lunU. In deed,its distribution should at all limes sjon jn tlie wcrcs and ideas. be pressed.

We conclude in our paper to-dfty the ; Governor's message, lie alludes to mahv topics of great public interest lo our State, kt has not furnished ai much information ' as we expected. The difficulties in which the State is involved by her connection With the Rail Roads is worthy of every consideration, and we expected a full and ample account of it from the Governor; but he says little more 'than to 'recapitulate vvh t has already been published. The Governor closes his message with a sort of valedictory, lamenting that during his term the Legislature had not made it his duiy to accomplish fconie a;reat work of improvement, to have shown ls smartness and handed down his name in connexion with some great work to "posterity. Alasv, for human ambition and vanity. He has had just such a task to steer the vessel of Stale safe thrdiigh all the Rail Road di-fh cullies and financial embarrassments, and he has been found wanting in his duty or his ability ; for during his administration history will record the commencement of ihe difficulties which will for a long time thout wiser and better councils than his prevail. Tarbbro Male Academy. The examination, of the students of this institution, took place on Thursday last, in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen, who attended throughout the daV. The exercises were mainly con ducted by Mr. Brooks -the Principal who examined the several classes on the usual branches of in English education the Classics, and Mathematics. The promptness and facility of the students, in responding to the various questions pro pounded, Won the applause of the audience and to the infinite delight of many ujnx Scus mothers," who knew their boys were 'out." The whole was wound up in the evening by Declamation and Dialogue, on which last theatre, the students acuuitted themselves with great credit. Success to the TaVboro Male Academy. ;fhe Popular Vole. The coon press have unblushingly avert ed, that Polk will succeed by a mino- Tiiy of the popular voie. v ny i'oik s popular majority in Souih Carolina alone, will about balance the Clay majorities in every whig State. Mr. Clay has gained a greatly decreased majority in his own and Mr. Polk's State, yet they boast over his waning fortunes. The fading glimmer of the setting sun is claimed as the rushing radiance of the morning beam. Mr. Clay has gained a respectable mi nority in the United States, that they now call a maturity. There is a similar confu- opponents.

Rut the reign of abuse and misrepresentation, and 'vandal vio lence" on 'every gentlemanly feeling, is ful ly established. We hoped, with common consent, the late election would terminate this rabid warfare; but to all appearance it has increased. The good sense and good feeling of our people will surely mike them tu themselves of such plagues. General visscihblt. The Standard of last Wednesday says: The Legislature has done little thu'5 fr, besides carving out business and putting the different Committees to woik." The following officers have, however been elec ted: Maurice Q. Waddell, John I). Came ron and Joseph Holderby, were chosen Engrossing Clerks by joint ballot alter se veral trials. David Outlaw", of ftertie, Solicitor for the 1st Judicial Circuit, without opposition. In the Sikth Judicial Circuit Hamilton C. Jones, of itowin', has beeri re-elected Solicitor, over three federal competitors. William Hill was re-elected Secretary of Stale, without opposition. HUrgess S. Gaither, ihe Speaker of the Senate, was elected Solicitor for the Sev enth Judicial Circuit. ()ri Monday last the Hon. Frederick Nash wis elected a judge bf the Supreme Court to occupy the place bf William tias ton, deceased; and oil the same day the Hon. David F. Caldwell was elected a Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity. The 11th inst. is the day designated for' an election for Senator in Pitt 'county, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Foreman. Election of Speaker of the Sen ale. We submitted some remarks in our last on this subject. The following is extract ed from the proceedings, as published by the Standard. On Thursday, after an inef fectual ballot for Speaker The result of the vote having been an nounced, Mr. Wilson rose and said that no gentleman could more deeply regret than he did, the embarrassed "position of the Senate, and that as an evidence of his sin cere desire to do what would best conduce to harmony of action, he had .discarded, and would discard, all personal feelings, and go as far as any Senator to heal exit ing difficulties and embarrassments. As a public man, he was always influenced by such considerations as seemed best calcu lated to advance the general welfare, and as an earnest of his desire to terminate this unpleasant contest, he had, the day before, addressed a communication fo a political friend, expressing the desire that his name might not be permitted to impede the due organization of the Senaie. He called up on his friends to withdraw his name. Mr. Edwards, the Senator from War ren, rose arid said, Having presented to Senators the name of the Senator from Edgecombe, I talie pleasure in complying with his request by asking leave to with draw it a pleasure, however, not without some mixture of regret, that a state ol things should exist to render necessary such a course. He fore taking my .-cat I desire, as an act of justice to the Senator to state, that I persoally know ihe embarrass ments under which lie labors, and the deep and just sense he entertains of the delicacy of his position. 1 can bear testimony, said Air. E., to his extreme solicitude', that "ev ery oDsiacie lo a speedy organization should be removed, and his earnest de.-iie that no considerations personal to himself should influence the acticn of hi Iricnds The Senator from Edgecombe hs referred lo a letter addressed to a political inend. I hat letter was addressed lo me; and knotting the purport to brs thai it should he shown to hrs other associates on this fljor, I handed it to a friend with the re quest that it should be So used. 1 hope, if it be present, that it mav be re.id to Sena tors, tiiat his high bearing on this occasion may be made apparent in his own language. Permit me to add, gentlemen, that prompted by a proper spirit, and guided alone by convictions of public duty, 1 am not without hope that some plan may be j speedily chalked out by which we may be relieved from our truly embarrassing posi tion. Mr. Higgs, the Senator from Martin, rose and said: The Senator from Warren alludes to a communication made to him by the Senator from Edgecombe, and which was intended for Senators of the democrat ic pai'ly. That CQ::ia:unica'.ijn was hand-. ed to me yesterday morning by the Seha-j tor from Warren, before ihe meeting 6lj the Senate; and while 1 can also testify to the anxious desiie of the Senator from Edgecombe lo relieve us from our precnt embarrassments by urging a withdrawal of his name, if by so doing there was ihe least probability of ah organization ol ihe Senate, justice to him requiics that the communication alluded to should be made public, and as it is how in my possession 1 send it to the Clerk's desk, with a request that it be read. The Clerk then read the letter from Mr. 1 Wilson, a copy of which follows: Wednesday morning, Nov 20, Dear Sir: The present painful stale of things in the Senate should exist nolnnger The question is, what h to be done? and that question must be decided and should be decided at once. The Senate, when full, is lied. Consequently, concession is necessary to the organization of .ihe body I and the despatch of business. Hut in t he h abeuce olf one of the Whig Senators, I he democrats have a majority. The ques ion J is, should the democrats, with an equal number when all the members are present, yield, when they have a majority, although that majority may be produced by the ac cidental absence of a whig member? In all fairness I think not; for to carry out that principle, if, in the dispensation of Provi dence not only one but a dozen whig Sen ators should be absent, yet the present de mocratic majority must yield to a present whig minority, because they may have a majority if all were present Yet some thing must be done, and sacrifices submit ted to rather than the public interest xand welfare of the State should sufjfer. As 1 may be thought to have some peisonal feel ing in the contest for Speaker, and lest the action of some of my friends may be em barrassed from personal considerations to wards me, 1 have thought it right that 1 should express the desire which 1 feel, that they should look alone to the interests of the Slate in the course which should gov ern them. Kespectfullyj your ob't servant, LOUIS D. WILSON. Hon: WjcLdon N. Edvvakds. from the Rateigh Standard. 'By immediate and active adoption of these means alone, can we insure the State for the whig cause. True, we hafe a ma- iorify or six .thousand in the State; but, if "two or three thousand whig voters stay away, and Edgecombe votes a thousand beyond her real strength, and other strong democratic counties resort to similar means, what avails our real majority? 1 he appa rent majority will thus, hv - our neglect and their fraud, Eeon their side, and when once this happens the result, however false and fraudulent, cannot be corrected.
