JObLn A.UMlsrj From the Raleigh Standard. No. 7. STATE AFFAIRS. MR. EUITOH, i j : 3d difference. The report of the Com mittee of 26 proposed to enlarge the Capital of the " Bank of Cape Fear" so ft toinake it equal! to that of rt the Bank 9f the State," and in 'doing this lo subscribe 400,000 dollars of its stock for the State of North Carolina. The resolutions of Mr. "rtoke also proposed this increase ot Ca p'tal. but they reduced artsubsetiption of the State to 300,000 dollar Tts ecornnitndation encountered Op- portion, bat it was nnalty passed, and lite subscription for stock on behalf of the State vvasput at 300,000 dollars as proposed b'v the Resolutions. This act periniud the State to pay for her; stock by equal instal ments in April, July arid October 1837, and in January and April 1838, and in case they vvere pa id before they fell due, the Bank was to allow interest at the rate of G per cent, a year All of the payments have been made 4 of ihem in advance, and consequently they'are now on interest. The result is that' the State receives in April next a premium on her subscription of 9000 dollars. Again, at the time this act was passed, -stock in this ;Bank was selling at a pre.nium'of 12 percent, and upwards. . Again, ithe managers of the Bank of Cape Fear applied for this in crea?eof iheir capital, arid it was therefore certain that they would twt refuse to accept the amended cha rter. . r Again, the act did not give them the power (o buy in their own stock, and it secured to the State a vote always proportionate to her subscrip- wai: 1 hereby avoiding some ot trie oD pjections which were saccesstullv urged aoainst the Bill concerning the " Bank of the State." These cirrumstances as they (formed reasons for passing this act, may also. secure! the approbation of others, land hence it becomes a: part f- my duly jto state them.- A majority of the Assem ble believed it was consistt-nt with the wishes and the interest! of the public to fenlarge our Banking Capital to the extent bf this law I did not-yet surely 'any just man cam perceive how easy it was to jbe honest and still entertain this opinion. Although I did not agree with theiiCl jqannot envy him who discovers in this act the slightest ground for distrusting the patriotism or; the integrity of a. majority bf.:ibe. ;Asembly.. i.--.ThvTWas not a far4y vote, for membera of both pa rties voted for it-members of both parties vo erj against it. In the Senate it passsed pithput a division, there being no opposi- 1o it. In the Commons there were 67 eu$-28 Nays. Twenty-four Van Bu ret) men voted for it, and 20 against and o it passed by a majority of both houses ind a majority oWjolh partite. j The subscription for the State was not a donation but only an investment of the .public money, as much so as when a man 4nds , money lo another, and takes his ootid for it, This law, is another of the 4 Acts of our Assem bly on the Surplus." I 4ih. I have now .reached the point jjvhere we are to consider the law on the Subject of Internal Improvement, and as ( discover that many men are . in .error about them, and knbw they. will ..mislead 4thers. (perhaps without! intending h) 1. tiiust crave the patience of the reader if 1 e to the subject. art extended discussion. 1 will not withhold .any.. fact connected with this important question) and I pledge myself not to misrepresent any . Jt heeds only that the 'Peoplk-Ml i anderstaffjd in order to approve the conduct of their re presentatives. They never can under stand it from a partial one sided statement of friends or foes. ! . ; f One thing; is certain. Theultimate success of these plans depends on the pub lic approbation, and it a candid appeal to their understandings does not prohibit their condemnation then they must fail. Let all the facts be puWished-rlet the iood sense of an intelligent community beJ appealed to let there be no deception, no senseless clamorj.no partial statements, rio party array ; and foi one, I am perfectly contented, .that the sense of the People shall determine the fate ot their Slmle. j li ofder to secure a fair hearing I must precede a fuller develoDemeht of this sub- hect; by removing false . impressions with .hich the minds of manyare prepccupiea. It seems fit to do so before 1 proceed to a detail o the laws, and the reasons for en acting them, and I doubt not-ere ry honest mind vvill renounce error as soon an i? is detected. . ! . .-' .'I ':...-. j-r. 1 First tfipn. it has. been 80000366!, that he" Acts of the Assembly on the Surplus &oney" were party measures. It is par ticularly charged " that they were. w whig party laws, and to defend them is to de fend that party," and I do not doubt that srirne and perhaps many! believe! the fact . ' i 1 ' -1 It so.

The Senate Bill con taining like provisions, was introduced and advocated in tbe Senate by Mr. Ed wards (of Warren,) and tne: its death in the Commons bv general consent yrt .Mr. Edwards and Mr. Hayicood were both friends of Mr. Van Buren. and both of them are supporters of his Adminisira lion. Does this seem like yarty spirit i The 2d Act for " irtcreasinj; ihf Capi tal of the Bank of Cape Fear." (explained in this essay,) was advocated in the House by men of bo'.h parties, and opposed by men of both parties & majority of theT de mocratic members present at the t itne.ro t"d for it.

The Van Buren party were again divided,' thus : 22 yeas and 17 nays, And who 'can discover any parly iii this?. True it is, the substitute of Mr. Byfd (already discussed) was voted for by 25 or 26 of the Van Buren party, but it ought to be renlenihered lmt 10 ofslh?fsam$ par, ty voted agaisl . it Moreover, it is not certain that all of those who voted for Mr. Byrd's motion were in favor of eh'acting his bill into a law. For this vqtefu?as la-? ken on Mr. Byrd's motion to amend ano ther Bill, then under discussion : and no thing is more common in legislative pro ceedings than for members to vote for amending a bill that they are opposed to, in any manner mat win dereat its passage, intending, at the same timet to vole against the final passage, of the amendment also, should it be engrafted on it. That this was the case on that oc casion may be reasonably inferred, not only because it is usual, but also because, on another day, when Mr. Byrd's Bill came directly before the Commons, on its passage, it was laid on the table without a division. 5But grant that all who voted for the amendment were iV fa vor of its final passage. Is it not as clear as light, that the question was nia party question, '.when we see the Van Buren patty divided 26;to 19 Beside?, what party principle was there in it 7 In what manner did ikconnect itself with the po litics of the Nation 1 !
