This is about as miserable an4 fiimsey a subterfuge as was ever propounded to the mnl of reasoning man. Politicians must really thinkhe people are fools, and willing to accept any sort of humbug from the leaders of party. ' -: - It is admitted on all hands that the hwls be long to the Slates, but that they were :e!yn in trust to pay off the Revolutionary Debt ; and Some civ n rtcfrav the exDenses of Government. W have already noticed this latter point, and endea-rjr4mt vored tosiiow the folly of looking to that source : fnr nnkoldinff the revenue, when it must sooner or later cease altogether, and give rise to a new and heavy burden upon the people. The mighty stream of revenue that would flow from actual settlement, will transcend any other scheme that can be devised there is no question about that and all the States demand is, that the proceeds shall be paid to them, the rightful owners of the soil, of in failure thereof, that they receive the lands ad dispose of their own property in the ! way that suits themselves. And why is this demanded 1 Decause Longress has repeatedly and continuously falsified the trust, and instead of executing it according to its terms: have used the property of all the States to benefit a few, and to build up the power of party and to make Presidents. The new States are en riched because they have many votes to give, with the prospect of giving many more, and of crea ting a Western ascendancy that will soon put North Carolina out of the reach of her rightful possess ions forever. As to the debt of the Revolution ; that has been doubly paid already, from the receipts of the sale of the public lands. So that matter may be laid on the shelf. As to paying the expenses of the Government, if such were the understanding that point is settled. They have not been thus appro priated and never will. Why 1 Because they are ; - .... . . - i , . ! irenawayinpoiiucai uounucs, ;um eamn7i, iiie.t fore, be made the subject of revenue. You can not pay Jack's expenses out of property that you have already given to Bill. But politicians not only insist that this thing can be clone, but that it is the roost natural thing in the world to do it and that man is a " traitor to his party " who does not believe in and admire this political philos ophy. Although the doctrine of ,: grab and keep " is advocated by the democratic presses, because they dare not encounter the loss of Federal favor and patronage, the people of that party are far from being unanimous in sustaining this system of plunder. And as we have heretofore hinted, the administration will take a small slide down hill by adhering to it, and by requiring their scrviles to support it. But that is their look out, not ours. We would take great pleasure in applaud ing the President and his Cabinet, with our feeble voice, in any act promotive of the general welfare, and have done so in relation to their apparent conservatism. But we wonlJ oppose tho present system, if Fillmore were President, as readily as we do under the present incumbent. That these abnses have been allowed nnder Whig as well as democratic administrations, is not ' did not sit, but seemed to sit) k down, anil, throw to the point nor the pnrpose.

It appears to us to be a very . plain matter, and that all who will may understand that the present system of land-plonder, with all its pretences, comprises one of the most palpable political cheats, ever jnflicted on an insulted and deluded people.

We need not tell this to certain politicians for their consciences make them abundantly aware of it. A CONSIDERABLE VERDICT. The coroner's inquest into the deaths caused by the fire of the military, in Montreal, during the Gavazz! riot, have returned a verdict in which they disclaim intending any reproach npon.the military, but recommend that in the next rfot where their services may be needed that the in terval between the order to fire and the discharge of guns shall be long enough to allow all per sona exposed to the fire to get safely ont of reach."

The cortege was long and brilliant, .which marched fi-om CasHe Garden at one extremity of the City, to the Crystal Palace five miles off at the other extreme. There was the ransic of bands, thehouts of the multitude, u,0 waving of handkerchiu thrnnds nnnn w-illnries and ho' fs from windows, throngs upon galleries and housetops, and all the other accompaniments of a processional celebra tion such as only largo cities can get up and car ry throngh. Unfortunately, when the head of the column reached Chamber street, a dense black cloud began to hover over it from the East, and in a few moments, large drops of rain commenced dessending. which was soon followed by a copi ous deluge of rain such as is witnessed in tropi cal latitudes. The crowd in the streets took ref uge in shops and stores and beneath awnings, and many of the city soldiers broke line and deserted the President bote it all bravely, and never flinched, an umbrella was handed him, he took it, soon dispensed with it, as it was of no use in suSka cataract as that. The rain continued to poBiown unmercifully for about twenty or thir lty minutes, but was confined entirely to the lower portion of the city, there being scarcely any at alabove tenth or twelfth street, and only an oc casional drop or two at the Crystal Palace. The jleighborhood of the Palace presented a very gay and animated scene flags were waving in all di rections, and an immense throng of spectators col lected together as far as the eye could reach. Groggeries, shops, show-rooms, and places of re freshment were all set off with profuse decora tioiujf signs and emblems. Conspicuous among these jwere the Grej hound Hotel; the Rocky Mountain Ox with five legs and two heads; the Comnxrc Rogers Saloon; the Crystal Cottage; the Washington Circus; Concert Hall; the Living Crocodile the Bearded Lady; Pistol Galleries; Mass &..Vwino's Mammoth Restaraunt; tho Krem lin, togetftt'r with innumerable booths, banners, and tempetiry shops. When thi procession, all draggled with rain and mud, reached the Palace, the President was con ducted to aciniagc and driven to a private man sion, several Squares off, where he doffed his wet garments anifVlonned a new suit of black, borrow cd from a friend, which was superior to his own. except that tholcoat was a trillle too small. Upon his return, theiiy guards and light guards mar ched in and forded a line, and the President fol lowed, accompanied by the Chief of the Police and a few otheefoffkials. lie was conducted to the North Naveand took his seat in a handsome green and figured damask arm chair provided for him, in front of te platform. On his left, in :i red damask arm chair, was Theodore Scdgnich Esq , President 'of the exhibition, and next to him, Mr. Whette8tho Secretary, close by was Col. J. C. Hamilton an eminent citizen, and lead ing director and cb-prnprielor of the Crystal Pal ace. Upon plain antfjnaked settees in the rear were distinguished perivnages, Mr. Guthrie, Gen. Davis, Gen. dishing, Gem. Scott, Gov Georgia, Gov. Seymour,' ot New York Cobb, of Meniber.s of the Assembly, Commissioners, famous nu n. and official characters. Eshop Waiuwright, in h'u pontificals, was seatej , very near the Tresi dent, in an honorable armchair also, or chair of State. All the others on toe north platform, in cluding his lordship, ArchBishop Hughes, and Bishop WLitehouso of Imjianna, occupied hard seats on the aforementioned settees, which were of deal board, and paintedlpreain color. The President was the ofiserved of all observ ers. Ho was arrayed m black, and had black silk gloves on. When conducted to his pi e, he arose, and in a strain of refined eloquence, and with great graee end emphasis of manner, ad dressed the Chief Magistrate for half an hour or more. When he hadnished, President Pierce rose and replied. .Dicing the prayer, his attitude was most devout, hifliible, and reverential, and while speaking, his jnanner was graceful, and his . : 1 . . : r I graiituuiiiuia ueu, ami easy. ins address was brief, but delivered:! popular style. His line person, his gracioraifj demeanor, his noble air and maniy uigniiy, joibm to a practiced fluency of speech, were all tohfs advantage, and won theap- p;iuse ot ine listening senate around.

Six loud cheers were given when he concluded, and given with entire accord. This was the first impression, the popular approbation but when the sober se cond thought intervened, the after conclusion was less favorable. The exuberance of manner, the profuse gesticulation, advancing and retreating and laying it down first on this side and then on that, seemed scholastic and polemic ; some said it was ranting, and others said ti':at it resembled stump oratory and political speechifying it look ed indeed s if the President were declaiming aloBdjT BMy name is Norval on the grampion billi ;' It was somewhat theatrical and fantastic, but cap tivating and electrifying. It appears to mc that the general Impression was, that Mr. Sedgwick surpassed the President in appropriateness of manner and in intellectual force and power; and that the head of a great nation should have re lied more upon the dignified reserve of official rank, and that he should not have been betrayed into any ad captandum efforts of popular oratory. fgAt this point of the proceedings, a most chcer tngeflect was produced by a choral anthem from the Harmonic Society in the East Gallery, where .a White Organ was located' .' The choir was kn- raensej-two hundred females, and more than two band red male voices. The ladies were all draped in white and looked like a phalanx of vestals. This swelling flood of loud and deep toned har mony was followed by patriotic airs from Dods worth's ind the National Band, which completed the angust cremonies of the inauguration.

FLETCHER. linEIDfUL STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT. Collision on the Sorlfi Hirer behecen, (he Steamer Empire and a Slo"p Ssvcrol JLivc Lost 'Jv or Twelve Scalded. About two o'clock on Saturday morning the steamer Empire, when five miles below Pough- kcepsie, N. Y., on her down passage, was i un into j by a sloop with such force as to knock one of her boilers and some parts of her machinery over- I board. This caused the steamer almost inimedi- atcly to take lire, spreading tho utmost Conster nation among h-jr passengers, who were roused I from their slumbers by the force of the sloop run , ning into thetn. They were, however, all rescued j safely anil brought to Ponglikeepsie by a schoon- i er, except some ten or twelve, who were badly j scalded, and three or four killed. It is feared that some of the passengers leaped overboard du- j ring the consternation, and were drowned. The I fire on the boat was extinguished as speedily as possible, but she is greatly injured. A dispatch from Ponglikeepsie (.ays: The steam pipe t hat connects the two boih rs was, by this collision, twisted from its place, and the steam from tho pipe rushed across the deck : earning away some fifteen of the state rooms. ! The steamer immediately careened over on her ! side, about three rods from the shore, in which ! position she remained at last accounts, heading ; up the river. Two persons were killed outright, j and three died of injuries received soon after, one of whom was Mr, Satl'ord. j Among tire scalded is A. S. Bullitt, of Wash- ington, D. C. Several bodies have been taken I from the liver. It is feared that the loss of life ; is greater than it was at first anticipated. I Many of the passengers state that they saw no I appearance of any sloop that could have run into tho boat. And they are of the opinion that the accident resulted from a defect in the boiler. j The boat drifted ashore, anil now lies stranded, head up stream, on the flats about seven miles be- ' i .T ii . r - . .i - jjii i ! low i ougnixcepsie, u perieci wrecK, pauuie uoxes blown off, pipes shattered to pieces, and decks crushed in. The liver, for about two miles, was dotted all over with fragments of the wreck. FROM HAVANA. A lamentable accident occured at Havana on tho 10th instant. A horse-race was to come off on the ,; Military Parade Ground," just outside the city wall?. For tho accommodation of the spectator: temporary seats were erected, some of them twenty feet liigiY. Just as the Captain-General entered, and the sports were about to com mence, a portion of the seats gave way, precipita ting some five hundred persons below. Two or three persons were kHIed, and about forty or fif ty wounded, comprising all ages and sexes. Three American sailors belonging to the barque Jaspar (whieh vessel recently landed a cargo of slaves on. the Island of Cuba) have been impris oned in the Moro. They say they shipped in New York, and when the nature of the trade the vessel was to bo engaged in was made known to them which was after leaving NeW York they endeavored to get away from her, bot were pre vented by the other part of the crew, consisting of Spanish and Portuguese, who threatened to take their lives, and they were compelled to make the voyage. The ship Lady Suffolk was before reported as having, after landing a large cargo of slaves, been scuttled and sunk. This, it now appears, was not the case, as she went to one of the small ports on tho south side of the island, where she was taken possession of by the British man-of-war brig Dar ing:. Opening of the First Railroad In Africa. Accounts froui Alexandria. Egypt, of June 21, state that the Cairo and Alexandria railway had been partially opened. A letter, dated the 21st, says : " The first railway ever constructed in Africa has been for twenty-fiTe miles from Alexandria, traversed this day by locomotives, and in the land of the Pyramids one more monument has been added to the abiding splendor of the past. There is to be a more formal opening in a few months, when the first section to the Nile is completed." LATER FROM MEXICO. New Orleans, July 13.

Mr. Twist to Governor Marcy, on behalf of a gentleman who is ready at any moment to die for his country and a fat office: , ... The bearer Martin Van Buren Phips, is an applicant for some easy office, and, J am happy to say, is an out-and-out Democrat. He voted for Van Buren in '40, for Polk in '44, and in '48, be ing somewhat puf.Jtled with the claims of the con tending factions, polled two votes, one for Van Buren-and one for Mr. Ca3, evincing a spirit of conciliation and high-toned principle which puts to the blush all otbtr compromise measures. Mr. Phips, I can truly say, is an active, energetic, and industrious Democrat, but is unable to discharge very many out-door duties, as he is suffering un der a physical dh-abilitj', having, some two years since, sprained his ankle badly. The circum stances attending this'physical disability may not be uninteresting, as illustrative of the sterling Democracy inherent in the man. They afe these: He was engaged with some young Democrats rais ing a hickory pole. They had accomplished their object, and young Phips determined to place the stars and f tripes uon the top of the pole. For this purpose he commencttitqbing ; but, alas! having arrived at the disdlw 1 of ten feet, the pole gave way, and he was lhw Vaiseyriblypon the earth, with a severe contosiwrnpoiw fleshy j part of the leg and with Ills left'foot sprained tor-! ribly. Apparently not realizing the extent of the i injury, he waved the tattered ensign over his con tused frame, and gave three hearty cheers for James K. Polk. Such Democracy ought not to j go unrewarded ; and I hope you will be able to place our unfortunate friend in some easy posi tion where his physical disability will not bo an tagonistic to his progressive Democracy." ' AN APPEAL TO THE YOUNG. A young man has lately been convicted in Vir ginia of robbing the mail, and has been sentenced to the pentenithiry. There is an affecting and melancholy incident connected with the young man's criminal history, which goes to exhibit the strength of parental affection. When the father heard that his son had been arrested on the charge of robbing the mail, he exclaimed, 'Have my gray hairs been brought to see this?'' and then fell. He was taken to his bed, and died in a few days of a broken heart. If the young would not bring the gray hairs of their parents to the grave, iu sorrow, let them avoid the first enticements of sin. Once in the downward path, they know not where they will stop LET THE BLOOMERS ALONE, WILL YE 1 A young lady, a Bloomer, recently married at Oriskciiy, N.

This they did the next night, and chal lenged the irl to shoot again, ca'llns her a liar, &c. On this, the young woman fired once more above them ; but they laughed her to scorn, and at lat, goaded to indignation, she sent a charge of shot rattling about their brainless pates and. wounded and limping;, howling and cursing, they retreated in confusioti. MELANCHOLY RESULT OF FALSIFICATION. Among the obituary announcements of to-day tin; reader will find one of Mrs. Rebecca M. Smith wife of John L. Smith, Esq , a magistrate of this city, and residing on the Island. We fear it too probable that this sad ci: cumstunce most distres sing "ri itself, and bringing such painful bereave ment to her husband ami a large and interesting family f children greatly needing a mother's care is to be traced to the false and malign ru mor sprung respecting the loss of the steamboat Baltimore on the 4th of July. Mr. Smith and son were on board, and Mrs. Smith became so much the victim of the wicked report as to bo unable to believe in their safety until their actual return the following day. Many other families were greatly disquieted by the same means. We do not envy the feelings of the originator of the vile story, if he has a heart to feel; and if l.-e has none, the moro yet the pity.
