Mr.. CLAY AMI THE GLOBE. The Globe
says Mr.. Clay voted against the reduction Of
the price fpublic lands from ss@2 to sBI;q5
in 1929" This il untrue. The reduction
took place in July, 1920, and he did not
vote atall. .gs 4. "
Whatever difference of opinion there NAV
be as to the policy ofMr. Clays' plan in rela-,
tion to the public funds, it cannot be denied
that he acts in strict accordance with the let
ter and spirit Of the treaty stipulations and
deeds by which those lands were lceded to the
United States--This cannot be said Of those
who vote for reducing the price to mere no.
thing, and who cannot in doing SO have any
regard to the interests or wishes Of the old
States. MOI can those latter persons escape
the suspicion Of designing, BY their policy, to
bribe the new States into the support of their
peculiar party. The public lands are held in
trust by the federal government for the benefit
of the United People of the whole Union. This
was The express intention and language of
the instruments by which they were relin-
quished and conveyed by Virginia, New York,
Massachusetts, &C., to the federal Union. It
will be seen that Mr.. Taliaferro's resolutions
embody the language They cannot, there-
lore, be given away, nor ceded as the gradua-
tion bill virtually contempates, without the
consent of majority Of the States. If the
new States are TO be'solely benefited BY them,
it's a violation ofthe deed Of cession, andun-
justto the old States.- lfndisoaiaH.

Whatever. may be the condition of the press
in Canada, it enjoysliberty enough in the moth
er country. The following is from late En-
gllsh paper. Its severity is only equalled by
its justice.
The grateful and welcome intelligence is
sent abroad to the British public, that the
Marchioness Conyngham is progressing to-
wards convalescence! With such paragraphs
as these tho our press, who can deny that we
sre moral people! And with George Nv. of
blessed memory, who can gainsy the fact, that
our sovereigns are all most religious and gra-
ciousi Truly, itwould be the very front of
boldness. Yet, seriously where is justice
upon earth? Let guilt be poor, and without
pity we crush it into the deepest shame; bu.
give little to that which Desdemona would
not name, and she may make the state Of
her health public concern. Puta crown on
the head of sensual, selfish debauchee, man
without domestic affection, private worth, or
public virtue; man without conscience and
without heart man false to his friends
and cruel TO his wife-and we give him place
in the liturgy.-But retribution comes at
last, if venality and fattery follow them
willie living, when dead an execrable and
hateful memory, follows them forever. And
certain personages inherit the momory, whilst
there is written on the tomb and gra-
ven on myriads of hearts" Here lies Car
olne of Brunswick, the murdered Queen of
England" Surely creatures who have lost
all title to esteem, ought at least to have the
instinct to retire from contempt; but with the
loss of virtue, there is, and ever has been, j,
the loss of shame. s}is7 ,i3
