The public lands under judicieus management,
might be 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 any other State.
But President Pierce and Mir: D0bbin opposed
all that vii! give her any share of them.
Hills. Recorder
The public lands hare been, whenever the Demo
Gratis have had the President, judicously managed.
The Illinois Railroad grant, and other grants so much
complained of by Gen. Dockery and the Wing pa
pers were made under Mr.. Fillmore's administration
were voted for by Messrs. Mangum and Badger,
and approved by MIR. Fillmore
We claim, with the Recorder, that ''North Carroll
has just and clear a title participation IN
the benefits to be derived from these lands as any
other State; and hold, Gen. Dockery admitted
in his speech in this place. that North Carolina will
get her share provided the lands sold by the
government and their proceeds put in the general
and Mr.. Dobbin and the Recorder will, therefore,
perceive that it has done them injustice.
But what has been Mr. Grahams course this
subject? He voted for the distribution act of 1s41
by which nine States got five 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repealed the distribution act cut off the old States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-
alize 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

ONE DAY. The Gubernatorial Chair of North
Carolina is emphatically of those positions which
hold out inducements in the way of profit to as
pirants. 1t is generally if not always, losing bus
mess, not only in the nadequacy of the compensa-
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 over an
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 Ia
mented Hoke, life itself being the forfeit.
While such are the tolls and sacrifices borne by
our candidate, we trust that no Democrat will think
it too much to devote day to the 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 who feels
such apathy as might prevent his going to the polls,
reflect upon the sacrifices made by Mr.: Bragg for
the party, Qor we repeat, 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 neglectng to vote
he voluntarily and of his accord DISTINGUISHES
himself We sincerely trust that none will be found
thus fathless to themselves to their own rights and
their own duties WiL Journal.

The Cape Fear Appropriate on.

The Cape Fear Appropriation.
We announced in our last that President Pierce
had approved the bill appropating $4,000 for the
Improvement of the mouth of the Cape Fear river.
The Union, in publishing the message of the Presi
dent on the subject, saysi
The bill recently passed by Congress- apprupri-
atng one hundred and forty thousand dollars for the
further Improvement of Cape Fear River in North
Carolina was signed yesterday by the President,
and returned to the Senate. 1t is well known that
this differs from the ordinary propositions
to make appropriations for the improvement of rivers
and harbours in fact that the obstruction in Cape
Fear river is the result of act of government.
This feature in the well understood in both
houses OF Congress- and contributed largely to the
passage of the BILL If the fact alluded had been
stated in the BILL its approval by the President would
have required no explanatory message; but, in con-
sequence of the omission, it incumbent on him,
to prevent msconstruction erroneous differences,
to accompany his approval with the statement of the
reason on which it was given. The reason assigned
by the President addressed itself so forcibly to the
common sense Of every man that it cannot fail to be
entirely satisfactory. This act cannot be regarded
as precedent, except in where the govern
ment, as in this case, has caused the obstruction.
In all such cases the proprety of the appropriation
will be readily conceded We need scarcely add
that the approval of the Cape Fear BILL under the
circumstances, cannot be construed into a recogni-
ton by the President of the power to make appre-
priations by Congress for rivers and harbours gen.
orally"
The following is the message of the President, &C
companied by the bill:
To the Senate Of the United States:
have this day given my signature to the act
making fur ther appropriation for the improvement
of the Cape Fear river, North Carolina.
The occasion seems to render it proper for me to
deviate from the ordinary of announcing the
approval of bills by oral statement only, and for
the purpose of preventing any misrepresentation
which might otherwise arise from the phraseology
of this act, to communicate in writing, that my ap-
proval is given to it the ground that the obstruc
tons, which the proposed appropriation is intended
to remove the result Of acts of the general gov
eminent. FRANKLIN PIERCE.
