The public lands under judicious management
might be a mine of great wealth to all the States
North Carolina included. North Carolina has as
jus and clear title to participation in the benefits
to be derived from these lands as any other State.
But President Pierce and Mr. Do6bin are opposed
to all acts that will give her any share of them.
Hills. Recorder
The public lands hare been, whenever the Demo
Gratis have had the President, judicousy managed.
The Illinois Railroad grant, and other grants so much
complained of by Gen. Dockery and the Whig pa
psrs, were made under Mr.. Fillmores administration
were voted for by Messrs Mangum and Badger,
and approved by Mr.. Fillmore.
We claim, with the Recorder that "North Carroll
has as just and clear title to participation in
the benefits to be derived from these lands as any
other State" and we hold, as Gen. Dockery admitted
in his speech in this place. that North Carolina will
get her share provided the lands are sold by the
government and their proceeds put in the general
treasury This is the position of President Pierce
and Mr.. Dobbin and the Recorder will, therefore,
perceive that it has done them injustice.
But what has been Mr.. Graham's course this
subject? He voted for the distribution act of 1871
by which nine new States gotfv hundred thousand
each of the best lands and ten per cent upon
the amount of sales and then, in 1912, his party
repealed the distribution act cut off the old States
from the proceeds which they were beginning to re-
alze and at the same time raised the Tariff for the
benefit of the free States, from twenty to forty and
fifty per cent! That is the way in which Federalists
redeem their pledges to the people of North Carolina
on the subject of the public lands.

The Dark Corner called thus in derision by
our adversaries-is true now as of old. From With

ddates will be more than sustained; what say the
other precincts? Where is the Democrat who, from
personal considerations or on account of past dis
appointments, would sacrifice the well-earned and
continued triumphs of fourteen years?

ONE DAY. The Gubernatorial Chair of North
Carolina is emphatcally of those positions which
hold out no inducements in the way of profit to
pirants. 1t is generally, if not always, losing bus
mess, not only in the inadequacy of the csmpensa-
ton, but in the sacrifices which candidate has to
make in giving up his business profession to enter
the field and the long and arduous canvass over an
area of some six hundred miles in length by over
two hundred in breadth, undertaken in the very heat
of summer, in instance at least that of the la
mented Hoke, life itself being the forfeit.
While such are the tolls and sacrifices borne by
our candidate, trust that Democrat will think
it too much to devote day to the success of the
party to which he belongs, and in whose triumph he
would rejoice In going to the polls he makes no
sacrifices, but simply exercises right which is dear
to him. and discharges duty which is incumbent
upon every free citizen. Let every one who feels
such apathy might prevent his going to the polls,
reflect upon the sacrifices made by Mr. Bragg for
the party (for we repeat no feeling of self could
induce any man to make the sacrifices he has made
and he will be ashamed of such apathy, while he
must feel at the time that by negectns to vote
he voluntarily and of his accord disfranchises
himself We sincerely trust that none will be found
thus faithless to themselves to their rights and
their own duties VA. Journal
