publshed at Wilmington. The Free Press, during
the last canvass warmly advocated the election of
Messrs Leak and Fenable and the policy of dstrib-
utlng hepQblic lands. The North Carolina States
man. we taket is to be established to advocate tho
same doctrine. Mr.. Cantwel is writer of eonside-
rable research and ability, and win continue in the
columns of the Statesman" to lend his talents to
the propagation of the views held by the faction to

n. c. STATESMAN. We have received prospec-
tus OF paper bearing the above name, to be pub
lished Weekiy and Semi-weekly in Raleigh, from and
after the lst of January next, by Edward Cantwcll
w. Whitaker. This is the new distribution or
gan, that has been so much talked about. When
the paper appears we can judge it by its face; but
we must be permitted to say that we fear it will not
be calculated to promote the harmony or advance
the interests of the Democratic party. For the gen.
tlemen at the head of it have the highest personal
regard and shall exceedingly regret to 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 organization no
matter what may be the professions of the editors.

NORTH CAROLINA STATESMAN" We have re-
celved the prospectus of a new paper, to be pub
llshed in Raleigh under the above title by Edward
Saitwen Sa sSad and w W. Whitaker Esq-the first EO
Sihe editors informs us that the principles which
the Statesman" will advocate are "purely Demo-
cratic according to the straes 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
llc Lands! Indeed it is generally understood, that
the statesman is started for the purpose of advo-
eating the Distriauton policy as its main object -
How such policy be deduced from the Balti-
more platform, unable to divine, and it is
equally difficult to conceive how Democratic paper
OF the stratest sect can advocate that policy For
ourself, we eschew all such Democracy. Distribu-
ton Is not Democratic measure-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
polltlcans with. Hence, desire to keep aloof
from ito let it pursue the ordinary channel of
funds belonging to the Federal Treasury, viz: the
payment of the national debts and dcfayng the cur
rent expenses of the Government
We nave a limited acquaintance with Mr. Can't
well and we admire the frankncss of his manners
and the epergy of his mind. But We cannot sub
scribe to the Distribution article which he seeks to
nterpolate In the Democratic creed. We pretty
well acquainted with the Democracy of this District
at least, and we proud to say that we do not
know single DiStributionist among them

| Messrs. Cantwel and Whitaker have much

If we understand its political complexion correctly,
\ though it processes Democracy, it is to advocate
| Whiggcry. Then it is to pull down Democracy and
not put it up. We advise Democratic friends
not to have any thing to do with this paper its aim
will be to disturb the harmony Of the party. We
| view it Wing concern.
We have had confidence in Mr.. Venable's Democ-

establishment of Printing Press in the City of Raj
eigh, to inure it throughout the State. This paper,
like MIR. Nenabe, is to profess to be Democratic, but
at the time, is to advocate the distribution of
I the public lands-a Whig measure. -
with such Democracy we do not care to have any
fellowship, and we would advise all good meaning
