The Great I:epubIic.

Mr.. Donald Mckay, who built the two celebrate /
clipper ships the Flying Cloud and the Sovereign OF
the Seas, has now added the Great Republic to our
mercantile marine, the largest ship that floats Mr.
Mckay is not only her builder. but her owner. We
went to see her yesterday. Her length is the SIX
teenth of mile. AS she is from the wharf,
the beauty of her proportions is such, that her ex
IRENE length can scarcely he truly estimated. 1t is
only by comparing her with the largest ships within
her neighborhood that her size becomes apparent
The Constellation one of our largest packet ships,
lies her she carries seventeen thousand barrels,
but appears quite small in comparison with the Great
Republic. The Great Republic is of five thousand
ons burhen, and can carry forty thousand barrels OF
flour, which at the present rate of freight to Liver
pool, would give aggregate OF $4,000 gross for a
single voyage out. Twenty-,hree thousand barrels
of -four already engaged. She is loaded and un-
loaded by OF steam engine stationed upon the
deck, which can be removed into a huge long boat,
constructed TO be used propeller in the Tropics,
by which the Great Republic will be towed in Gains.
The engine is also expected to be used in hosting
sails This is new step in the industry of the world
On land we have steam engine that digs and loads

ker with spade, (the rishman,) a Steam Paddy"

Although notice has been given of many bills to
be brought in during the session, and although, also,
an apparent disposition exists 10 devote more than
Il ual attention to business, still nothing OF mpor-
lance has yet ranSpired, of sufficient interest to
repay the room required for regulr synopsis OF
the savings and doings of the National Legislature.
The leading measures of the session will undoubt-
edlv be the reduction of the Tarifthe Pacific Rail
Road and the increase and re organization of the
Navy The first will we think, be done. The Sc
cond will not-at least not Government
work No doubt Congress will authorize the
increases and changes suggested bv Secretary Dob
bin The public land system will not be iEterfered
with, hut the practice of granting lands for public
works will be brought strictly within the limits ct.
and in strict agreement with the principle of only
granting them in cases where prudent proprietor,
similarly situated would do the same, for the benefit
of his estate The opposition to the admnstra-
ton will amount to nothing if its friends make no
petty issues, but make its principles and measures
the only test and let all side-moves and squabbes
about Office alone. The President is man of toe
much good sense to allow himself to be mixed ur
with such.

The Land Question.

The question of Distribution of the Public
Lands or of their proceeds seems to be settled
one in all of the States except North Carolina
With many others of the measures of policy advo
Gated in the days of high Whiggery by Mr. Clay, it
has become an obsolete idea so much so, indeed
that a Wing member from Kentucky-Mr. Ewing
we believe--recent declared in the House, that
the question of building q Pacific Railroad by the
General Government was now the only open issue
between the parties and it would seem that even
that has been set at rest for the present by the de-
cisive votes by which the resolutions Of Mr. Yates
and others, declaring it's expedency and constitu-
tionality were laid on the table. In Virginia, Land
Distribution was brought to diroct test, and its
strength exhibited in an increased majority for it's
opponents--the Democratic party 1t still retains
some vitality in North Carolina mainly owing to
the fact that few Democrats OF former standing
in the party combined with others whose aspirations
might impose upon Themselves while their assump-
ton might deceive the public, have. to very con-
siderable extent been lending aid and comfort to
the enemy, whose hopes have thus been revived by
the prospects of dssenSOns in the Democratic ranks
In this we feel confident that they will be deceived
The number of those who would designedy con-
tribute to such result is small and their Influence
inoonsiderabe Many have been, ant. even are now,
honestly led astray, we think, upon this question,
unon whose support the Democratic party conf
IDENTIFY calculates Nay, we candidIy think that
sufficiently strong considerations can be exhibited
in the course of calm discussion, to convince the
cooler Judgment of sensible Wings even, that this
issue is demagogueical, impracticabe and des'rnc-
tive in It's tendencies.
But we do not intend now to go into this matter-
We will have time enough in the coming canvass
next summer TO give it thorough and searching re-
view upon It's own merits, supporting our posi-
tons simply by the official statements OF the Land
Office, the Secretary of the Interior, and the other
necessary documents On this question: also, we can
quote to Democrats the authority of sound and some

County OrganIzati zion.

The time of holding Democratic meetings in this
County for the purpose of sending delegates TO the
State Convention, we'll for the purposes of To-
cal organization has been, for many years, the
Tuesday of March County Court. We presume the
same time will be chosen preparatory to the canvass
of next summer
We do not like either to revive or perpetuate d.
visions or dsagreements or bad feelings, either in
or out Of the party, nd if we now allude to
the existence of such things, it is simply for the
purpose of calling the attention of Democrats, in
town and country, to the duty incumbent upon them
to devise such measures may prevent any recur-
renee of such unpleasant events. Let the question
be fairly considered in full and open County meet
ings, whether or not we are to have County Con-
vention for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the Legislature and if we are to have Con-
vention, low it shall be constituted, and how the
delegates shall be chos n if we not to have a
Convention, what other IAN shall be adopted that
will serve its purposes well. In fact, let the
matter be openly settled and honestly ahded by.
Knowing that public sentiment has fixed upon
Tuesday Of March Court, the time of holding the
primary meeting in this county, we shall, on the
first week after New Years publish at the request
of several infuenta al Democrats, call for Demo
cratic Meeting at that time, stating distinctly, all
the subjects that can properly come before such
meeting; and shall also, at least often as once a
week from that time forward, until the day of the
meeting call attention to the matter; so that all
our readers aud they either subscribers or Dor
rowers comprise nearly all who take any interest
in public matters, may be fully apprised of the NEE
ting and it's objects We want the people to settle
things SO as to leave little responsibility pos
sible upon u.s.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WRITE YOUR NAMES.

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU WRITE YOUR NAMEs,--A
gentleman, member OF a wholesale house down town,
recently called of Banks TO pay note of
50 900, as due that day Having money on deposit
TO pay it, he stepped up TO the desk and filled check
for the amount. But finding his signature a little
imperfect, he pushed aside the check and filled anoh-
er for the amount presented it, received his
note of $4,000, and retired to his counting house
Presently of the officials at the Bank stepped in
ard inquired. {" MIR. -, how many checks for
1000 have you drawn to day 2" One is the
ready response. & took up note OF $4,000, with
" check" . Well, sir, there have been two checks
for 1000, drawn by you, presented al the Bank ~
As if flash Of lightning had shed light on his mind,
he remembered his check, rejected in consequence of
slight defect, which he had neglected to tear up
and had left the desk. Some person, it seems,
found the check there and procured boy to present
il. The paying teller, suspicious that all was not
right, either from the fact of having Just paid one
for that amount or the imperfecton in the signature
which led The drawer to reject il and write another
showed il TO the officers. who also did not like the
looks of things The teller then turned to the boy
and cycling him pretty sharply, asked him where he
got the check when the boy instantly fed and has
not since been seen.--k Y Tribune.
