With the view of assisting in the formation of correct opinions as to the Justice of the ir I i rswe. wC into our column the reasons on which they have been advocated and opposed by statesmen of great ability, without stating' our own conclusions on the question. We are free to admit that the ex- aminauon we have given to the subject has result ed in a conviction in opposition to the impressions with which we commenced the investigation. The stateness of the claims had raised in our mind the presumption that they must be of doubtful justice otherwise, it seemed strange that they should have remained unsettled for more than fifty years. The facts on which the claims are based were so difficuft Of access, and were contained in such a mas of documents which belong to the transactions of an ether century, that we chose rather to reject the Claims npon the presumption.

arising from lapse of time than to encounter the labor of a investigation. Such was the inclination of our mind on the question when it became necessary for us, as the conductor of the to investigate the" subject for tbe purpose of forming a definite opinion. Thst investigation has removed all doubt as to the justice of the claims, and we now propose to state in a few word, the views on which our opinion is founded. There is no controversy as to the spoliations committed on American commerce by the French during the war between England and France in 1793. Nor is there any controversy a to the original liability of the French government to our injured merchant for these spoliations; they were fully and constantly admitted by the French That Franca is no longer liable is alo free of controversy.

But as the injured citizens- have never received reparation, the controversy ariiMjs between them and their own government as to whether their government has assumed the liability incurred by A careful examination of the case presents us with the following Our government was bound to France by treaty stipulations entered into in 1778, and 1788, fur the failure to comply with which in 1793," when France and England ffero at war, France set up large claims against our government On the other hand, our citizens had largo claims- against France for injuries done to them as Individual merchants daring that war. ur government undertook to; prosecute these ln-ividiial claims against France. French eov- rnment admitted their but insisted she ad claims of a larger amount against our gov ernment much negotiation, the dipuU was settled by a convention in which tho respective claims were mutually released her part, released her claim, and gave up the stipulations under which they originated in con-: sideration that our government would release hee from the claims of our citizens for injuries iuflictr ed on their commerce. The convention was concluded on. these terms, and the question arise-whether our government thereby became liable to its own citizens for the claims thus released to It is singular that a difference of opinion should exist on such a state of facta.

Nor do we believe that any difference did exist amongst the men who were personally cognizant pfthe transactions. The turns were not paid not because they were not regarded as justly due, but because the amount was large; and our government was poorly able to make payment As the claims, however, grew' dale, controversy as to the liability of the sprung up. the only point or objection ver made which has much qf froe in it is one which, it seems to us, it little becomes our government to rely upon. It has been said that there was an actual state of war between our government and that of Franco when the injuries were inflicted, and therefore that the individuals injured could have noclainvs. That this is an after-thought is clear from the fact that France admitted the claims to be valid, and both France and the United States settled upon the agreement that their relations of peace had not been How it could ever afterwards be alleged by our government that the claims were not valid because the injuries took place in a state of war between the two governments we cannot comprehend.

France never disputed the claims upon any such grounds, although she was primarily liable, and admitted ber liability. Our government sent commissioners to France to insist upon tbe payment of the claims, and in 1800 actually obtained satisfaction from France. what reason or justice could our government afterwards repudiate its liability upon the allegation that there never were any valid claims We treated them as valid claims, and as such obtained from Franco a release of heavy liabilities to her. Surely, then, our government is forever estopped from contro-. verting the validity of the cla ims.

In the great argument of Silas Wright against these -claims, which whs based mainly on tile objection we have just noticed, he fell into the error of supposing that theW claims were provided in our treaty of 1803 with France. lie afterwards admitted Ms error, boweverj and rested opposition chiefly upon the point liefore. Indicated. We conclude, therefore, that" the French tioa claims constitute a valid and sabiLling debt' sTMfcrt oar trovernment'1 and. without knowine the amount or who Willi be benefited, we trust that'the debt will be paid.

21st The conditioa of affairs in. Mexico was still dis. turbed. The downfall of Comonfort had only produced a momentary pause, and already opposition bad been, manifested in various quarters Co tbe Government of ZuloagoJ The State of Vera Crua Yucatan and Oajaca were in decided boatUity, and each bad raised a considerable force, tot the purpose of warring against and patting dowa bis administration -Alas I for poor atexicoi- She seems destined to be a football, and ber best interests are trifled with by the very men who should dedicate their lives to her service. Comonfcrt, in bis Farewell Address, held this language: rt I view with profound sorrow the ravages of civil war, since, the Republic having been weakened by a strife of so many years, the necessity for peace becomes every day more imperious.

The good aaea of every party, relinquishing their resentments, may contribute to its restoration. In this conviction, I have been strengthened by the experience acquired during the day of rav administration. It may be said that it is im- EraotK-anie, ana wis time, impossible ut it is the desire of a. maa of heart who aspires only to the rood of bis country. Tbe next arrival will probably bring accounts of additional troubles and fresh pronunclamentoe.

Mexico, it is clear, is not in a condition to manage ber own affairs, and hence she presnta the strongest temptations to the bold, the' unscrupulous and the ambitious among her neighbors. Men will say at oncetheir good -sense will compel them to say at once, "what has this question of the distribution of the public lands g.t to do with the office of Governor of North Carolina? Ws dip the above extract from an editorial in the Journal of yesterday, and while that paper has those men on tbe floor those men of pood sense we should like to ask a simple question, and we trust, oar neighbor will see that we are answered it ia this, What MaduFrte Suffrage" to da with the office of Governor of North Qtroli-naf" Come now neighbor, out with it, you know you blowed the Keid loud and long for that prince of humbugs, and ia the end your party did succeed ia gulling tbe people of the old State with it then, Free Suffrage bad a deal to do with the office of Governor mow Distribution Is not to be mentioned in connection with the office how is this neighbor we will be extremely obligedJf you will enlighten us upon the subject come unravel.

From the "Weldon Patriot WALTER P. LIAKE, ESQ. This gentleman has withdrawn from the contest as a candidate for the offleeof Governor of N. Carolina. We have not thus far expressed any opinion upon the propriety of bringing out a candidate of the American party, for the office of Governor, because we have thought tbat there was sufficient time to do so.

A celebrated French diplomatist once Said that a politician should never dd to-day what may be aa well done to-morrow'. Without endorsing this sentiment as a proper rule of practice, either political or otherwise, we may be permitted to say that the observance of this may under some circumstances be proper and we are not prepared to say the present Is not one of the instances in which it is so. But as it appears be the wish of the Raleigh Register and other Whig papers of the State tbat the feelings of each section should be ex pressed, we will simply say that we do not see the propriety ot running a candidate of tbe American party, with the inevitable certainty of defeat staring us in the face. Again, if Mr. MeRea or some other distribution Democrat who could unite any considerable portion of the Democratic party should be a candidate, we might possibly succeed in electing him.

This would be a very important point gained, important we mean not in a party- point of. view but important in view of the fact that our Railroad system is not completed, that the publio necessity 3uires that prelected scheme shall be eotnpls-. and some others undertaken. 'And in conxid-erstioit of the further fact that these additional works are absolutely necessary to the proper development of the industrial resources of the State. It should be borne in mind tbat but for a similar act of distribution, some of the most useful, and most important public improvements in our State, would not now be in existence.

Under all the circumstances we do hope that a generous regard for the publio interest may triumph over the merealavLsh devotion, to party. We do think, If the people could be brought to shake off the party shackles that seem to. bold them as with the energy of desperation if her would elevate their ideas above the consequences of a party triumph, or defeat, and look to the true interest of the country, they would not hesitate, but would give tbeir suffrages to a distribution whether he be Whig, American or Democrat Belying upon the good sense and eon eervative disposition of tbe people," we shall await with perfect confidence the decision' at the polls in Auiruat next.14 eJ iH.j-H vitattost to deliver bis orauoo Petersburg.

No North Carolina or Virginia anti-Dutribationists will dare to attriba'e the condition of the two States to the institution of slavery, for tbej contend, as we do, that this institution is beneficial to tbe masters and tbe slaves. This, then, not being the eaaee, where else are we to laok for it Tbe climate and soil of both Su'ea are good, beyond dispute, and capable of sappljing nearly every human want, Not finding the, eause here, we must continue the search to ooe point farther, and if we do aot find the why and wherefore there, we mat give it up.

Is it to be found in the intellectual oc physical structure ef tbe men and women of tbe two States Are we a race by feeble intellect, a sort of a hybrid race, standing between the highest order of brute, and the lowest order of human intelligence 1 No one can say that the cause can be found bere. Lastly, are we not in'phyaloal endowments upon a par with our fellow men in other States bay we not the same thews sod sinews, and bones and nerves that they have, and axe we not, therefore, as capable as they are ef labor and rnd attry To this, every body will ay ye; and yet they go ahead of. us where, then, can we find a reason for their so-doing, but in tbe Let that we allow them to take our property, and enrich themselves at eur expense This is the reason, and the sole reason of the dipirity in progress. Every effect has its eause, and we have seen that neither s'ave labor, nor soil, nor climate, nor intellectual, nor physical condition (beyond these we can look farther) hts put tu down, and is keeping us down, and we must, therefore, con 1 ale that the reason ii the one we have aasgoed, and that the remedy is in oar own hands and would be applied but for the malign influence of as hungry a set of demagogues as ever earsed any people that the sun ah'tves upon. CO.HISTEXCY.- We bear that some of those who for tie take of principle are unwilling to vote for a IHstributioa Democrat for the office of Governor of this State, will, ia the evsat they ctonot get a Whig and American candidate to consent to submit bi naelf to an aaful defeat, as the reward for a a troublesome and expensive canvass, vote for an anti-Distribn-tioo candidate of the pure Democratic stripe, and holding no principle in common iritA them.
