WHAT ARE THE FACTS ?

We hear great deal from opposition papers
about the tyranny of the democratic party in ap-
proprlatlng all the Offices to its own members and
requiring support to party nominations 1t strikes
Us that these complaints come with very bad
grace from wings, for every one knows how the
old wing party lorded it over the people when it
had power. During the Harrison and TAYLOR Ad-
mlnlstratlons, no democrat was allowed to hold an
Office of any value all We're turned out to make
room for wings And the same course was pur-
sued in North Carolina under Morehead Graham
and Manly-democrats were excluded from every
place of honor trust where it could be done, and
the wing party tyrannized over the democracy in
a manner that we would be ashamed to see our
party act. These old whgsarc the last that ought
to be heard m-plaining now.
Why, in this State two lucrative federal Offices
we're held by wings through all the democratic ad-
ministrations, until one voluntarily resigned and
the other died. One died during Mr. Folks adj
nlinistration, when an old and worthy democrat
was put in his place. but no sooner did General
Taylor get into office than the democrat was re-
moved to make way for the son of the former oc-
cupant, himself bitter whig; and he even held it
during Pierce's administration. We could men
ton other cases, but merely name these two
to show that the democratic party has not been as
proscriptive represented, and that the OPPOSE
ton have no right to complain.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1858-06-15

Ia We are willing to concede that some of
those who advocate a distribution Of the public
lands among the States, are honest in the belief
that it will benefit North Carolina and put money
into her Treasury. IHcy are acting from mistaken
notions, while others favor the scheme merely as
means Of popularity with the masses and as
afiording the best prospect of defeating the demo-
cratic party. We believe that the whole scheme
is a humbug from beginning to end without pos
sessing the least merit its friends claim for it; and
in so saying we do not wish to be understood as
expressing contempt for the advocates of the meas
ure, (bccause desire to treat opponents with
respect,) but say it is humbug because we be-
lieve it to be such upon its merits, and a
gull-trap because it is used to catch votes
If our opposition friends want to benefit North
Carolina, why do they not go for procuring few
thousand acres of the public lands for her alone,
without proposing to give all other States share
along with her? They say that the new States
have already got large portion OF land and if
this is thecase, why they willing to give those
States more? Have they not had enough already !?
according to the figuring of distributonists they
have already gotten too much. But if We adopt
Mr. Necklaces plan, those States will again be the
recipients of favor, and to a much greater extent
than North Carolina.
But what effect general distribution
will have. All the States would have land to
sell and anxious to realize the money for it, for
without a sale it will do no good to any one. Now
suppose all the farmers in Mecklcnburg, or of all
the counties in this section, were to offer their
land for sale at time, and stimulated to
make sales by the fact that they could derive bene-
fit from the land in no other way, would not the
market be glutted, and prices 60 down to almost
nothing? Every man Of common sense knows
that this would be the case. Well, precisely such
a state of affairs would exist if the lands now be-
longing to the General Government were distrib-
utcd among the States. Such would certainly be
the sequence of the passage of general distribu-
ton bill. North Carolina would not realize more
than ten cents an acre for her land, and her cti-
zens would have to pay heavy taxes by way of Il
high tariff to make up deficiency in the national
treasury caused by withdrawing and squandering
one of the sources Of revenue to the Government.

An AMERICAN LADY MARRIED IN PARIs-The
New York Herald gives the following account
Of the marriage of an American lady in Paris
on the Sth of April:
The only daug hter Of Mr.. John Ridgway, of
Philadelphia was married to the Marquis de
Gannay, a French nobeman. The bride has
only just turned her twentieth year, is very
handsome, and highly accomplished. In view
considered great prize, and all the young
bloods OF title have been engaged in hot pur-
suit of Ia belle A1aericaine for the last three or
four years.
Her parents have allowed her TO exercise her
own judgment and taste in This to her vital at.
fair, and the objrct OF her choice is OF affec
ton, though me adds to an. agreeable exterior
an old name and favorable antecedents. The
marriage came Oh in the Protestant pei, the
persuasion OF the bride, and the ceremony was
then repeated in the Catholic Church, TO which
the bridegroom belonged.
The bride looked very lovely, as any pretty
girl of twenty must do with . becoming wreath
Of orange blossoms on her head, and her eve
lit up with the animation of such thrilling mo-
ment The "happy man" was easy and grace
full, as all well bred Frenchmen are, and he
seemed wonder fully resigned to his luck in
AZ years OI age u young
dy possessing SO many charms, substantial and
otherwise, as the fascinating Emily Ridgway.
1t Is rumored that Mr.. Rdgway does not mean
to give his daus h;er any considerable dover at
present, and some say that he intends to bestow
the bulk of his vast fortune on his only son, a
youth Of some five or six years old. His father
before him, Jacob Ridgway, oil Philadelphia,
made the same preference for the male branch,
by bequeathing the most of his money to his
son John, and cutting off his two daughters
the late Mrs. Rush and Mrs. DR.. Barton--with
the miserable stipend Of S500,ou0 apiece. If,
therefore, Mr.. John Ridgway, now OF Paris,
serves his pretty daughter in the same way, he
will be under the unavoidable necessity of leav-
ing to his son, the aforesaid young gentleman
the pitiful sum Of three millions and upy ards
The fortune of Mr.. Ridgway must be hourly in
creasing, and If he lives twenty years longer,
there is no telling to what it will ultimately
amount. He is a careful man in money matters,
and never makes q bad investment.

the greatest height during the late rise. Reports
from above announce that the White and Ar

accounts from Napoleon state that there had
been a rise OF ten inches during the preceding
