The propeedingapf UieLt'fwlatore irebe
rinninjr to assume an interesting character,
Several important, matters will bo found ia
our rejrular 'abktract, which we have not
"toom to, notice specially; among which, are
resolutions asseriiag-Ahe right of the States to
the public lands according to Federal pops
lation, introduced in the Commons by Mr,
Hill; resolutions in favor of amending the
Constitution, so as to provide fur the animal
election of members of Assembly, introduced
In the Senate, by Mr. Kd wards; and resolu
tions in favor of chartering, by Congress,
three separate, distinct and Independent
banks, to be located in the three great sec
tions of the Union, North, South, and West,
introduced by Mr.-Shepard, of the Senate.
The proceedings of tbe'two Houses yes
terday were so elaborate that we ran only
gire the substance of the most important por
tions of tliem in to-day's paper.
In the Senate, the engrossed bill to extend
the time for registering grants, bills of sale,
mesne conveyances, powers of attorney, bills
of sale, and deeds of gift, passed its third and
last reading, and has therefore become a law;
the bill to compel poll-keepers, in elections
for members of Assembly, to open the pulls
at 10 and close them at 5 o'clock, was road
the third time, passed, and or.lercd to be en
grossed; and thd bill to amend an aet of 1821, ,
iucorporating the Roanoke Inlet Company,
was read the second tima and passed.
In the House of Commons, Resolutions
were introduced, and made the special order
of the day for Thursday next, which will
probably lead to a protracted discussion,
though there is no doubt of their ultimate
passage. . Theso Resolutions condemn the
course of our (Senators in Congress, in re
gard to the Expunging Resolution; they de
nounce the course of tlie Administration on
the subject of the Public Lands, and its
' wasteful prodigality, and they speak in em
phatic terms, the opinion of the Assembly
on tlie subject of the Sub-Treasury.' They
are couched in strong language, becoming
the dignity of tlie occasion and the circum
stances which have led to their presentation.
The bill to divide Orange County, after
considerable debate, passedits second and
third read ins. and was ordered to be en
grossed. .
Considerable discussion arose on the Abo
lition Resolutions from Vermont, and many
amendments were offered, but no definite and
final action was had upon the subject.

THE RALEIGH STANDARD.
This paper of inconsistencies calls the Govern
or'a Message a political fire-brand,' and talks
about the "vast importance" of conciliatory lan
guage! On the authority of the message itself,
we contradict the assertion; and we are convinc
ed that every unprejudiced reaJer of that docu
ment will sustain th contradiction.' Th Gov.
ernor had a financial proposition to make to th
Legislatures and it was proper te review the
pact that tba present might, profit by it. The
finance of tbs country, were sorely wounded-
it waa necessary to point te ; tbpse who had in
Minted that wound, and 14 probe it deeply that a
permanent cur might be effected. Ia doing '
this, he baa told the truth, and the Standsrd,
with all It inainusting, fault-finding disposition, I
willjind it difficult In prove otherwise. -
It ia easy to perceive tbe feelinga which insti
gated tht illiberal-and (weeping charge againat
the Governor. It had stuiost claimed tlie Gov
ernor as an ally, and was vain enough to chuckle
aver a powerful accession toots ranks No on
knows at any rate, neither tbe Governor nor
his friend know, ha motive lor so doing. Wss
it for effect! I'be bold, claim it haj laiJ to a
majority in the Legislature, with its expected
aid front the once execrated, but now flattered,
eoaxed, courted nulfificra, had been most signal
ly overthrown, This occasioned chagrin; and
the bold tone of the Message, coming just alter
wards, wss too much for his mortified feelings.
Hence the splenetic article which appeared in
its columns last week.
We have been more amused than otherwise,
to see the MtandsrdVlslk about-"conciliatory
language;" and arc disposed to ascribe it more
to tbe instinct of self-preservation than to any
tiling cle. He and his party are on their backs,
the leoking-up-preilieament now," as over,
seeming one thing, and doing another. And
who would'nt, thus circumstanced, recommend
the expediency of conciliatory" measures?
He will snsp, however, as he did when ho call
ed the Message a "fire-brand;" but then tbe Gov
ernor punched him and hi party with the re
membrance of their old sins. As the long, dark
catalogue of other times unrolled ominously be-
ri. .... . . , . ..

thottgltrhe tan " Jir'etrandfF' We opine the
Magician-pall is yet over him, ss he wss heard
to mutter that ha would " not flinch at a future
day." . '
fXj We advise tbe Standard, whenever it
may feel like accusing any party with "stirring
the bitter wsters of strife," to look to its own po
litical messmates. Wbst are the. mass of cut-
torn-house officers, the majority of postmasters,
whst are th trained bands df power now doing?
What have they been doing for yearst-Attending
to their huaine, like faithful Officer! They havs
thronged thick aa locusts at Ihs people's election
grounds they hsve bought voles imported vo
ters corrupted the elective franchise. What
are A mo Kendall and Andrew Jackson now
doing ' They are twin "stirring the bitter we
lers of strife" in Tennessee they bsv taken
the field in favor of James K. Polk! And such
a party and tbe organ of such" a party to talk
about other men's "stirring lbs bitter waters of
strife"!
General Jackson snd Amos Kendall ere
interfering with the elective franchise in Ten
n esses. Haa General Jackson so soon forgotten
this singular sentence in his celebrated Protest!
Gray hairs and a decaying frame, instead
of inviUns to toil and battle, cell me to the con
temptation of other worlds, where conqueror
eeaae to be honored, and usurpers expiate their
crime.
As to the Postmaster, we'wonder if be Is paid
Tor hi electioneering trip lo Tennessee! He
hsd better go horn 9t attend le the Post Office.

. Gen: larrittn. 'i'be Standard need not . be
uneasy about the nomination of this gentlemen
by .the Anli'Mssenie Convention, nor need he
sltempl to identify tkst faction with Ibe Whig
party. He ought to know that such s faction,

Mr Least In tbe last " Standard" there la
an attack open tbe Governor's Message, , in
which the author is denounced ss hsving throwa
a " political fire-brand wanttnly aiid gralvittuf
Jg" into "oca councils," end tar having given,
in hi Inaugural, pledges which he bss not ful
filled. If such article aa that, purperHg
be an edifrial, were alt Ihe benefit which th
freedom of Ihe pres guaranteed, it surely would
hsve been ibe greatest cur which could bsv
been bequesthed us. The position snd argu
ments of Ibe Message, are not canvassed or
questioned, nor Ihe conviction of their feasibil
ity and utility, in being submitted lo a delibera
tive body, denied; but a mere "wenton'' stuck
on th Governor for doing that which the con
stitution and laws require; and the obvious ten
dency of which is to forestall public opinion and
prevent Ihe messsge itself from being generally
read.
Let us examine but for a moment ths events
of lbs two past years, snd ace if the Standard a
grees with himself in charging the Governor
with heme? lh Governor ef a nan y, and not of
a State, Tbe few sppoiolmenU put at tbe dis
posal of the Governor I would request ibe
Standard to publish how they were disposed of.
Until the last unhappy article from his pen, ever
jnc the inaugural, be anii btawholcpvty have
uniformly agreed thst the Executive chair was
filled so impartially and ae free of the ah am hie
nf Party, that early last spring that paper an
nounced ita satiefaction with tbe present incum
bent and all his acta. Several lime did dec a ra
tion of th same purport appear in that paper
prior le the noaitftslien of Gov, Branch in Julv.
snd that nomination he editor, regretted; but it
mattered little whether that regret came onlv
from the month or th eonseisnee, b supported
him solely oeeaUeA7 party hsd taken him up;
and com of the leader (both nr Senators snd
Democratic Members of Uonsreca) (vide Stand-'
ard for July and August) thought k beat lo ral
ly under lb imposing title of a Cenetitutienal
Trewury.
I hi alone was the test question; and after is
suing an extra setting forth Gov. Dudley, with
out consulting him aa lo it veracity, and with
out consulting any means to ascertain its truth,
as tbe Henry Clay $30,000,000 bank candid
al; and then, after being defeated by a majority
of 17.000, tee'oim bins, are such discordant
links in the eenieosriesof events thst it deserve
to be dwell opon for a moment. Te make my
idea mora intelligible, I will here state that
sine bis Inaugural, the message ia (be first re
corded opinion of Gov. Dudley that I remember
lo have seen, or believe ia been published. Un
wnat ground, then, eould ibe staudard place him
before the people' a for Henry Clay and lb
$50,000,000 Bank! And after assuming it.
what ground had he to change! Did hi minori
ty of 17,000 entitl him lo pit, and through it
to eentdeneef Who eduld possibly suspect such
thing! Purely no man in his sense. On
wbst possible ground, , then, eould he tppete
Gov. Dudley before the election, a a Clay $0,
000,000 Bank. Federal Whigi andafisrwsrds,
without a single additional pledge, or word, or
ay liable fo justify it, to support him and claim
him aa a Democratic, State Rights, 8ub-TrrasU-ry
man!' He quarrelled with all th Editor who
denied hi statement! an I really appeared anx-
rous to ngnt lor mm ss a leader, waving from
on high the official banner of the 8ub-Tnaaury
The nomination of Gov. Branch I assure
you was solely and exclusively to compound tbe
State Rights psrty with the Administration
rally them under it banner and mustor them
into ha service. That hsving failed, the next
purpose was to propitiate favor and sua for par
don from the obsolete ranks. But my purpose
waa merely lo call notice lo these things not to
censure, for they era self-censursd. Let us but
examine for s moment the supposable ground on
which the Standard bandies the contemptuous
words, "wantonly and gratuitously," about .ths
hsad of the Chief Executive of the Stale.
Since tbe last Legislature waa in aeasion. a
commercial snd financial revolution ha passod
not only over in .state, but over the whole
country. Th Banks of the out, in which the
Stat i interested upward or a $ 1,000,000. bad
suspended their payment in specie for more
then IS months, snd ths whole face of conimer
eial enterprise and agricultural interest had un
dergone a serious snd disastrous change; yet if
the Governor did not happen lo agree with the
magnstes in Washington City as lo Ihs means
of curs and prevention in future, he must r
msm perfectly silent. If twenty constitutions, a
thousand statutes, snd his own conscience en
joined it on him to devise means of extricstion.
I call in time on my State Ktghu brethren to be.
ware how they aid and abet men playing auch a
desperate game. 'Such doctrines and implica
tions as that wa.-iiat the Urplieuse which
sung m Into in bavea of nullification. A
strong Stat Nights doctrine truly, which denie
to tbe Slats Executive te recommend an opinion
or us arguments contrary lo those recommend-
t ana Used k Ask Federal Eaoeutiv.l! Thi.
indeed would be a government consolidated not
only in power, but in opinion and argument, in
comparison te, which the despotism of Russia
would be mild and palsleable. '
The plan of a $10,000,000 Btfnk,, suggested
by the Messsge, from a. hasty reading of it, sp
peered to me to present an equitable comprom
ise to ultras of all parties. It struck me ss pre
senting to tbe uncompromising opponent of an
United Stales Bsnk a fair and moat plausible
scheme for settling thst question finally and for
everchartered by all the several States st dif
ferent limee and for different periods sincere se
lected by the government and individuels of the
States, each atimulated in their supervision of it
by the keen eye of self interest. It does not war
against Ihe constitutions! scruples of tbs fastid
ious, for tbe General de Slat Governments in
terchsnge Isws respecting the land on which
Light Houses are erected. To the advocates
of an' Pniled States Bsnk k present notes re
eetvsbls in the dues of the General Government,
bearing its cfedit on their face; and to tbe real
8late Kights men il presents the strongest clsims
for support; for in' the mere act of il creation it
places tlie 3tate upon art equality with the Gen
eral Government since il is to b created by
the law of lbs ststs and accepted by that of the
General Government. It is the mutual snd fos
ter child of boUi. and must psrtske of th credit
of ths one and the character of the othert a rare
combination of power and honesty. ' To the ex
clusively metallic advocates it otTers specie, or
note equivalent and always convertible.
These are but a few of the arguments which
presented themselves, and are submitted aolefy
lo call ths Standard within Ih reach of proprie-
ty snd decorum. These are but bints which
may require more explanation.
