BLUSH OF THE ROSE

Ask why blush o'erspreads the rose
Its velvet leaves In crimson dyed
why round the busy zephyr blows,
And waves the flower In stately pride
Ask why the lilies, dropping, shed
The dewdrop from each pallid Leaf
Why each reclinesits beauteous head,
AS weighed to earth with bitter grief:
Emma vouchssfed the rose kiss;
The lovely lily she disdained;
Who would not weep such Joy to miss,
Who would not blush, such joy obtained

RI ON the Nsrth Cdrolina Standard I

We publish below the letter of Mr.. Buchanan in
favor OF the Pacific Railroad.
We were at one time under the impression, and
SO stated that no resolution on the subject was sd.
opted by the Cincinnati Convention. We were
misled by the proceedings IS published in the
Weekly Washington Union in which it was stated
that the resolution was voted down. and no further
notice, in those proceedings, was taken of it But
we find, in the oficisl proceedings in pamphlet
form-lor q copy of which we are indebted to Hon.
Thomas Rufin-that the following resolution tcas
adopted Just before the Convention adjourned BY
3 vote OF 205 to 81, North Cerolina voting unsn-
imously against it
"ResOlVed, That the Democratic Party recog.
nize the great importance in Q political and Gem
mercia point of view, of safe and speedy com.
municaton through our own territory between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of this Union; and
that it is the duty of the Federal Government to
exercise promptly, all its constitutional powers for
the attainment of that object, thereby binding the
union of the States in indissouble bonds, and
opening to the rich commerce of Asia, an overland
transit from the Pacific to the Mississippi river
and the great lakes of the North"
The Richmond Enquirer OF Wednesday last con-
tains the following remarks on the subject, which
have our entire approval With the Enquirer, we
intend to stand by our principles, without regard
to men, and with that paper we are resolved to
adhere to our deliberate convictions, and to the
timebonored principles of the Staterghts strict
construction Democracy OF Virgins of North
Carolina, and, we may add, Of the country gener.
ally. We propose to add nothing to what the
EaqUirer has said nor shall we, at this time, enter
upon any discussion of the Pacific Railroad pro-
Iect. Thet paper, while dissenting from Mr.. Bu-
cuanah we" S on the question, has done him en-.
with it. - y -

REPORT OF The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
The Secretary of the Interior 3 report states that
the quantity of land surveyed since the last report
and up to the 18th of September last, was l6 S73,.
500 acres, exclusive of sections. gsi
The execution of the graduation oct has raised
many grave questions which call for the ntsrposi-
ton of Congress. The Secretary says it is an i'm.
portant matter, and should be promptly disposed
Of either by sanction ing and affirming the action Of
the Land Office, or directing the patents to be is
sued without further requirement.
The quantity of lands sold for cash during the
fiscal year, was over nine and quarter millions
acres and the receipts, therefor, $8,821 Ala.
The total amount of lands disposed of was over
SO, 100000 acres. s-4.lt
The Secretary suggests the necessity of further
power being granted to the Commissioner Of PEN
sions to suspend, diminish and discontinue PEN
sons when the reason for granting them has
wholly or partially ceased.
The number of patents issued within the year
will probably reach $500. -.
The report says that during the present admins
trstion fity-two Indian treaties have been nego-
tiated, twenty of which remain to be acted upon
by the Senate. @ Ess
By these treaties the Indian title has been ex-
tnguished to nearly 175, 900 acres. The sg
gregate money consideration therefor is 81, 1s4, ;
202 50. .ss
The indians within our borders are supposed to
number about 100000. The colonization of the
Indians has already been attended with the hap.
pest results and gives promise of steady progress
in the sme!ioTstiou Of their physical and mora
condition.
