MEssRs EDIroRs: see in a recent No. Of your
paper, an article signed Justice" dated at this
place. 1t seems to be the writer's object to do JUS
tice to Rev. Dr. Deems, and also to be useful to the
community in general by correcting the mistakes of
correspondent of yours, relative to the sectarian
character Of the school just opening here under the
auspices of the Dr. Now, the writer, in order to
make himself understood and to satisfy this section
of country that the DIS school is not sectarian in
the general acccptation of that term must give us
his definition of sectarian school for that is the
key to the whole thing If that definition is &C.
cording to the acknowledged Interpretation thereof
then citizens will be satisfied thus far, and will
only wait to the professions of non-sectariansm
carried out in good faith. hope "Justice" will
answer this inquiry, as doubt not he will do, if
there is anything in q name. Besides, let man
who processes to set community right of "misap-
prehensions," and who heads his article "Correc-
tions," give us the key to his remarks-and all will
be understood AS it is, his language conveys no
exact idea. will explain. There is scarcely
school in the State which acknowledges itself to be
sectarian, although known and proved to be such
peatcdly. They advertised and so vouched for
by their agents abroad That institutions of learn
ing-the boosted safeguards of all that next to
ed dispensers of truth andustce to the rising gen.
eraton-should cndeavor to palm off upon the pub
lie such sheer imposition, is regarded with just in
dsnation by persons of all classes in every part of
the State. These persons willing tina: sectarian
schools shall exist las majority of our schools
practically arc,) and have no anathemas to hurl
against their patrons for they have TO right what
ever to do so. But on the other hand they in turn
wish to patronise school in which no denomina-
tional crceds dogmas instilled into the minds
of the young. They are guided by principle in this
matter Hence, whenever public institution asks
for patronage the public have right to know its
real and exact character. Hence this inquiry. 1t
is made in justice to DR.. Deems, as well as to the
community, and by one who always joins in the &C.
cord Of eulogy rendered to SO distinguished man.
hope, Messrs. Editors, you will publish this ar
ticle, and as corrections have begun, hope you
will give space for their completion by "Justice, !"
otherwise he will have failed of his purpose, and no
corrections will be made.

GENTLEMEN: As we have all quit fighting over the
woolly heads &C., going to Pixies Peak Gold Mines
to get our fortune, there is not shadow OF doubt
that Pixies Peak is the richest gold mine that has
ever been discovered east of the Rocky Mountains
As it is likely some of my friends from the Old
North State will go to Pixies Peak, I'll give you the
nearest point on the Missouri river, and the best
place to get an outfit would recommend Kansas
City. The distance from this point is $50 miles.
The best time of starting from this point is the LIST
of April as the grass will be long enough for stock
to live without feed would also recommend oxen
instead of mules and horses, they will stand work

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.


At called meeting Of Columbus Lodge, No 102,
held in the lodge ROOM in Pittsboro on the 4th Of
February, A. D. 1859, and A. L., $3.50, the follow
ing resolutions were introduced by brother L. j.
Merritt and adopted with the unanimous approval of
the Lodge: aa - 9r'"74 ~ 's
Whereas, the death of DR.. Spencer McClenahan,
long a faithful, true and devoted member of this
Lodge, has this day occurred in our midst; and
whereas, it is fitting, though sad duty, in recor
ding the death of worthy brother, to express our
sense of the loss to the Lodge and our common bro
therhood and also our appreciation of the character
of our deceased brother, not only as Mason, but
a man; therefore, - ~ r. sslf ,-.'
Rssolred That in the death of DR.. McClenahan
the State has lost public spirited and useful citl
zen, who, whether as member of the General As
sembly orn the private walks of life, devoted his
time, energy, talents and means to every scheme
which an honest and fixed energy of purpose, and
jealous spirit for public improvement convinced him
would advance her interest promote her welfare and
elevate her character-that the community in which
he lived has lost bright example Of honesty truth
funess sincerity and libcraty, which all should i'm
tate-but few equal-tried in the furnace of misfor
tune, his principles, like gold from the refners cru
chile, came out the brighter and purer-that the
profession of which he was a member, and to whose
arduous and active labors he fell VICTIM has lost
one of whom they may well be proud-ever kind
and attentive to patients skilled in the treatment of
disease true and liberal to his professional brethren
friend to the ftherless and the widow, his ever
open to the cry Of distress and his skill at the SER
vice of the poor that his numerous friends have lost
cherished and valued companion, and his family q
kind and loving protector; that as lodge and bro
therhood of masons feel deeply the loss of such
man and of so worthy a mason, illustrating and
adjoining in his life many of the true and proved
principles of the fraternity.
Resolred, That to the family of our deceased bro
ther, we tender deep-felt sympathes in their be-
reavement-tha the secretary be directed to deliver
to them copy Of these resolutions, after having du
ly entered them upon the minutes of the Lodge.
Resolred, That we will wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days, and on tomorrow will at
tend in our Lodge capacity and bury our deceased
brother with sad hearts in obedience to his last
quest.
Resolred, That copy of these resolutions be sent
for publication to the Raleigh Standard with re-
quest that the Raleigh Register and Oxford Leisure
Hour publish them Also

REMARKS OF MR.. BRYAN.
OF CRAVEN,

OF CRAVEN,
On the second reading Of tile Bill to charter the
Bank Of Commerce, Neubern.
Mr.. Bryan said, at this late hour of the session,
he did not wish to trespass upon the time of the
House: but his duty to his constituents required
that he should make plain statement of the facts
upon which this charter is claimed. No more push
ing or energetic people existed than the citizens of
Newborn, and it was the interest, as well as the
duty of the State to foster and encourage them in
their exertions to extend the commerce of that
cient town. 1t would be needless to discuss the alb
solutc necessity of banking accommodations to fac
tate commercial enterprise,-that is an acknowl
edged fact, and to shew that the people Of Newbern
laborcd under great disadvantage in this respect,
he submitted the following statement Of the Bank
Capital at present in Newborn:
The Merchants Bank, S225,000
The Branch of the State Bank, 100000

As it was probable that the State Bank would not
be re.chartcred the only accommodation would be the
limited capital of the Merchants Bank. lie felt
convinced the House would agree with him that that
was insufficient when he stated that the exports
from Newborn for the last year amounted to 81 $780,,
600 and the imports during the same period, were:
Merchandise $9S4, 900, which with the capital EN-.
plOycd in manufacturing amount to $l64, 900, to-
gether making an aggregate Of ST. 14S 900, an amount
which proved the energy and commercial enterprise
of his constituents. He asked the House to remem-
Der that this return for year of more than or
binary depression of trade, and commended that if
to trade and manufactures and raise Newben TO be,
what her advantageous situation and public spirit
entitled her, second to none other in the State.
Mr.. Bryan then entered into statements to prove
that the business of the town had been steadily and
constantly increasing since the completion Of the
railroad The great advantage Of the last public
improvement would be lost to the people if they did
not receive increased facilities to meet the increasing
trade NcMbern would become the depot for the pro-
duce of the surrounding counties, if it had the
capital necessary to make the usual advances This
capital would be supplied by the proposed bank, and
the profit arising from the increased trade would not
be confined to Newbern but would extend through
out the entire Section and eventually benefit the
State by the increased value of property and pro-
ducts in the entire section, of which Newbern was
the commercial capital Other sections were receiv
ing Bank charters of this he did not complain, but
cheerfully supported them, and only remarked the
circumstance to shew that his people only claimed
what was granted to others, and what was actually
necessary to enable them to take advantage of the
many favorable circumstances which offered to ad-
vance their own local, well as the general inter-
ests Of the State. After some other remarks, Mr.
B. asked the House to excuse him for trespassing
on their time and attention. If time permitted he
could say much in favor of the bill before the
House, but the duty he owed to his people would
not let him say less He seldom troubled the House
except the Immediate business of his county, and
this most likely, would be the last time he would
have occasion to address them, it being the only
measure in which he was interested, he hoped the
House would pass the charter without delay as it
was time to send it to the Senate the session rapid
| ly approaching its termination.

to carry into effect any other measure of their do
mestic policy This would be to confer upon Con-
gross vast and irresponsible authority, utterly at
war with the well known jealousy of federal power
which prevailed at the formation of the constitution.
The natural intendment would be that, as the con-
stitution confined Congress to wel-defned specific
powers, the fund placed at their command, whether
in land or money, should be appropriated to the
performance of the duties corresponding with these
powers. If not government has been created
with all its other powers carefully limited, but with
out any limitation in respect to the public lands
But cannot so read the words dispose of" as
to make them embrace the idea of "giving away"
Ihetrue meaning Of words always to be ascertancd
by the subject to which they are applied, and the
known general intent of the lawgiver. Congress is
trustee under the constitution for the people of
the United States to dispose of their public lands
and think may venture to assert with confidence,
that no case can be found in which trustee in the
position of Congress has been authorized to "dispose
Of" property by its owner, where it has. ever been
held that these words authorized such trustee to give
away the fund entrusted to his care No trustee,
when called upon to account for the disposition of
the property placed under his management before
any Judicial tribunal would venture to present such
plea in his defence. The true meaning of these
words is clearly stated by Chief Justice Taney in
delivering the opinion Of the court, (19 Howard
p. 1861 He says, in reference to this clause of the
constitution, 1t begins its enumeration of powers
by that of disposing; in other words, making sale
Of the lands, or raising money from them, which, as
we have already said, was the main object of the
cession, from the States) ard which is the first
thing provided for IN the article" 1t is unnecessary
to refer to the history of the times to establish the
known fact that this statement of the Chief Justice
is perfectly well founded That it never was in
tended by the trainers of the constitution that these
lands should be given away by Congress is manifest
from the concluding portion Of the same clause By

The following "Brovn" paragraph is
from the Lansing State Republican: n.
1.-THE abolitionists we're formerly lsugh-
ed at as 'the one idea party" Locofo-
coism has turned the tables upon them.
"BRowN" is the one idea, aud in order
not to be bothered with any, they propose
to hang BRowN. Open locofoco sheet.
and the first word that meets you, is
"BRowN"-read on a piece, and mora
"BRowN'' is found-persevere, and Il is
found to be all "BROwS.", --.f .srf.;f
Gov. Wise, who used to have many
ideas, mot one of which, however, were
quite lucid, has concentrated them all in
to BRowS. He stopped at BRoWS's Ho- I
tel, on his return from hearing BRowN
say his Harper's Ferry catechism, the
other day, and at the dinner table, being
asked by the Steward Of the Hotel. what
soup he would have, replied sternly and
abstraete,lly-'BRowN" How would
he have his beef? 'BRowS." What wine
he would like? ."Sherry BRows." He
demanded BRowN bread, for the irss time
in his life. He sent his bottle to perfect
stranger whom he heard addressed As
BRowS, and inquired how many bullet
holes he had in his head. He gaEsda
pertinaciously and admiringly at q lady
opposite. whose hair was BRowS. He
took when he left the coat-room BRoWE
Raglan which did not belong to him.
He smoked in rapid succession three
BRowx Havanas. he called for BRoWx
horse, and left the Hotel in BRoWS
study, having done the landlord BRowT.
by forgetting his bill.
When he RECEIVERS from the trance into
which BRowN has thrown him, he will
doubtless be "WIsE beyond the things
which are written" unless he concludes
to remain "BRowN." ..t.a .s.E
