N. G. SrArEsxAS. We have received prospec-
tus of paper bearing the above name, to be pub
lished Weekly and Semi weekly in Raleigh from and
after the lst of January next, by Edward CantWelI
& w. Whitaker. This is the new distribution or
gan, 81 that has been so much talked about. When
the paper appears we judge it by its face but
must be permitted to say that fear it will not
be calculated to promote the harmony or advance
the interests of the Democratic party the gem
temen at the head of it have the highest personal
regard and shall exceedingly regret to see them take
any position circulated to distract the party to which
they profess their attachment. Any departure from
the old and well established principles of the party
cannot be productive of harmony or organization,
matter what may be the professions of the editors

'NoRTH CAROLINA STATESMAN" We have res
ceived the prospectus of new paper, to be pub
lished in Raleigh, under the above title by Edward
Cantwell and W. Whitaker, Esq.,-the first No. to
be issued on the first day of January next
The editors informs US that the principles which
the Statesman" will advocate are purely Demo
cratic according to the stratest requirements of that
party - that they believe the platform adopted by
the late Baltimore Convention contains the Demo-
cratic creed, &C., and yet, strangely enough, avow
themselves advocates of the Distribution of the Pub
lie Landsl Indeed it is generally understood, that
the Statesman is started for the purpose of adyo-
eating the Distribution policy as its main object.
How such policy can be deduced from the Balti-
more platform, are unable to divine, and it is
equally difficult to conceive how Democratic paper
of the stratest sect advocate that policy. For
ourseif we eschew all such Democracy. Distribu-
ton is not Democratic mcasure-but the contrary.
We have ever held that the policy of Distribution
was corrupting-in fact that the Distribution fund
would constitute corruption fund to buy up State
politicians with Hence, desire to keep aloof
from ito let it pursue the ordinary channel of
funds belongiug to the Federal Treasury, viz: the
payment of the national debts and defraying the
rent expenses of the Government.
We have limited acquaintance with Mr.. Can't
well; and we admire the frankness of his manners
and the energy of his mind. But we cannot SUBJ
scribe to the Distribution article which he seeks
interpolate in the Democratic creed. We are pretty
well acquainted with the Democracy of this District
at least, and are proud to say that we do not
know single Distributonist among them.
