DAILY NATIONAL ERA.
NORTH CAROLINA POLITICS.

President Pierce assigns as reason for as
senting to the Cape Fear appropriation, that
the obstruction was placed in the river by the
Government, and it hence became duty to
remove it at the expense of the Federal Treas
ury. We perceive that Southern papers sug-
gest, with good deal of plausibility, that the
approaching August Election in North Carroll
ma, upon which depends two Senatorial APP
pointments, may have had something to do
with the disposition Of the question.
Mr.. Badgers term expires on the 4th OF
March next, and the other place has been va
can't since March, 1853. Il is thought that
the contest will be very close. The principal
subjects of controversy are the public lands,
and free suffrage, including the White Basis
of Representation. The State is divided geo.
graphically on the latter point--the West, OF
course favoring representation based on the
white population alone. Under the existing
Constitution, ffty-acre freehold is necessary
to qualify citizen to vote for State Senator'S
The Wings particularly Of the east and GEN.
tire, are disposed to dodge the issue, and de-
mand an open Convention. The Democrats
wish to make certain amendments, by two
thirds vote Of the Legislature, which is one
mode provided by the Constitution. This Of
fort to limit the people as to the nature and
extent of the reforms they may demand,
shows anything but Democratic faith in the
masses, and, in turn, gives the Wings the ad-
vantage. So the fight seems to be on about
equal terms, and the result is regarded as
doubtful.
The Wings are strong on the Land Distri-
button question before the People, as that is
the only mode by which the State can come in
for q share Of the public domain. The Ne
braska bill seems not to be prominent topic.
The Wings are divided, and the Democrats in
different as to the value of the measure. Still,
on the whole, it is erring on the safe side to
90 for the bill, looking at it in demagogical
point Of view. Party feeling runs high, and
there is little probability Of fusion between
the parties The election takes place next
Thursday. y.
