proyemcni they may desire. Ii this land fund,
expressly given TO the General Government TO
supply its Treasury, be Withdrawn, ii follows that
new indirect taxes must be land by Congress to
supply the deficiency"
The Globes fears mislcad its Judgment
and bring it to untenable conclusions. Ii
does MT follow, that If this land fund be
distributed among all the States, 10 whom
it belongs, instead Of being given TO a few,
that indirect taxes must be laid by Con-
grcss 10 supply the deficiency. This might
and no doubt would be the case, If the PIE.
sent system of prodigality be continued by
the Federal Government Indeed, If 80
millions a year be expended, (the sum with
which Mr.. Van Buren, has set out, not on
ly the whole proceeds Of the public lands
will be exhausted, but We shah be driven
inevitably TO an increase of the Tariff, &c
escape national bankruptcy aud disgrace.
The Globes reasoning Is based on the
suppositon that the people Of this country
intend 10 tolerate the continuance OF tins
monstrous and corrupting extravaganza.
In this insists lis error. They see .and
feel tina. If the Government is brought
back 10 an expenditure of Is or even ! )
millions per annum, Gas in the ertrardgdn'
days of j. O. Adams) there will remain
the whole land fund for distribution among
the States, and room for large reduction
of the Tariff. And they have intelligence
enough 10 see, too, that TIE true issue In
yolycd is, whether the Government
shall continue to hold the land fund anC
squander forty millions year, or whether
the expenses of Government shall be re
duced to an economical scale, and the pub
lie domain the common inheritance Q
