While. for our part. we would like
to see the proceeds Of the public lands
remain as fund for the support Of go-
vernment, and thereby tighten the bur.
dens Of the people; yet as it seems to
be the settled policy of the Congress Of
the United States. 10 distribute them
among the new states, for the purposes
OF education, improving rivers, and
building rail roads. there is no reason
in the world why North Carolina, and
the other old states, should not have
their portion. Justice requires It.
We are in favor of the Democratic
platform it is much the safest place
TO stand ; but we must and will cons
tend for the rights Of NORTH Carolina.

The "Clique.',-When the Wing par.
~ had candidate for Governor, whose residence
happened to he in the city Of Raleigh. the Stand
ard very arifully. and perhaps very successfully,
labored TO excite prejudice agains, him by assoei
aiing his name with what il was pleased 10 de-
nominate +. shc Ralsish Clique" Il 10 happens
that the Standard itself has fallen into The pi,
which i dug for the Wing candidate. In ,be
late contest for Congress in this district, Mr.. Ven.
able. il seems, in eielling the attacks Of the
Standard very naturally concluded that the edi.
tor had some aidcrs and nbc,iors about Raleigh.
and accordingly gave them full share Of his
denunciaiion. This was reported to the Stand
ard. and that print sends out most dolnroas
complaint Hear how iselingb be speaks on the
subject:
Mr.. Venahle, we learn, INDUCED
during the late campaign in strong de-
nunciations Of what he was pleased to
style the Raleigh Clique This talk
about Raleigh clique is only for sc
feet. and is unworthy Of Those who wish
well to the Democratic cause"
You are fairly caught. Mr.. Standard Upon
the testimony Of Mr.. yenablc, there is Ra.
leigh Clique" hut il belongs 10 the Democratic
party; and your cry Of .CIique," Clique,
heretofore, may be accounted 70, on The princi-
pie set forlh in the couplcis
"Thicf, thief" do rascals cry,
70 hide thsir shame and infamy."
But there is sad to have been feature in the
late contest, which was known to but few--the
"Clique," and few eihers. It has been talked
about, VIC understand, in Democratic circles, and
we suppose. therefore, that there is truth in IT.
u Is thss that the opposition to Mr. venable by
The Raleigh Clique" was gotten up by dis
Lnsuislied aspirant to the Presidency, to pay Nh.
Y. f'r bis opposition to him in the Baltimore
Convention! IL this he true, the dc ,ocratlc
party ofthe District have acted wisely in rcfus-
ns TO submit 10 the control and dictation Of the
Clique" Though the Standard.
