They declare that any act by which the public land (hall be given to the new States, would greatly injure the old States.

We invite the reader to refer to Mr. Waugh's resolutions, published in our last, and mark the art with- which they are drawn:" Pretending to mean a great deal, they mean nothing, except to screen their introducer, and other similarly situated, from the indignation of a betrayed people. We- ask - him to- mark -the vague and unmeaning generalities, in which they abound, and then compare them with the plain dealing and directness of the resolutions passed by theHoue- of Commons; and then judge, for himself, who were "the true friend of the people." But, y the Standard, the opposition made a party hobby of.thcse resolutions. Where is the evidence of such a fact? It is known that' the party had a majority in the House; yet Mr. C's resolutions passed by a considera ble majority. " Does this furnish evidence that it was a party hobby? "Thou hypocrite! first cast out the beam out of thine - own eye; and then shnlt thou see clearly to cast the motedul of thy brother eye." The" piuty screw were applied by the other side. They tried to play the same game in the House last winter; but their leader were left in a pitiful minority. But the Editor, when he has leisure, i go ing to expose the plot of the opposition, ahd to snow that all the acts of tho Van Buren party prove "they are the true friends of the people, and faithful advocates of their rights." Very well; "we will moot him again at Philippic - - THE VICE PRESIDE It is time the attention of the friend of Judge WHITE, in this State, should be drawn to tin subject. It is known that in case of the death, resignation or removal from office of the President, the Vice President, will be called upon to exercise the duties of the station. It is highly important, therefore, that the individ ual selected, should be a man of ability, integ rity and sound principles. Wc,wa,nt no such man a the nominee of the Baltimore Conven tion, selected without regard to his fitness or principles, because it was supposed he would elates. In a late number, we pubhslied cuuinmniration on thia subject, recommending the Hon. Jonw Triaa, of Virginia, a a suits ble person. " We entirely concur in the .pro priety ot his nomination.

' He is opposed to the Bank, to Internal rmpfoycmeiits by the Federal Government, to the Tariff, and to the fanatical attempt to interfere with our domestic institution. His experience, as statesman, l very great. WedoubToTThnT tne supporters of Judge White elsewhere will readily unite upon him. We would respectfully Qggest to ear friends, whita holding meeting to nominate a Governor, that they nominate also aeandidate.ior the . Vice Presidency. . We again urge the importance of ofieeih action and organization, l-ct a central committee be appointed in each county, and aub-enmmittee in each Captain district. The cause in w hich we are engaged merits an effort. Jt is a contest by the people themselves against dictation and patronage.

It ia difficult for the conductor of a weekly paper to keep pace with public events, so rap idly do they crowd upon each other.
