schemes invented 10 rob nation 0l its ahorS they
have no fear 0E b., Federalism almost gets into
Its at The blre mention Of a aw 10 ct poor man
buy the field he has cleared up or she house he has
built. Away with such hypocrisy. No party ought

They viii pretend, also, that iiFe vote TO reeonSd-
er after the bill had passed. was not intended 10 des
troy the bill that they only wanted 10 &c, II back
10 amend II, and other excuses Of that Kind and II
may be true that some ofthem, who gel orally sup
port pre-emplnns we've governed BY ieelngso this
kind hut these cases were very few.
The FedeTahSts, as a party, voted agains' The
settlers, because President Van Buren, had recon-
mCuded pre-Cmphon laws 10 be passed ~ their IA
vor; and the Democracy, as party, voted for them,
because It is congeRal with It's feelings and punci-
pies 10 protect the weak aud helpless, who mostly
need the projections Of Government ; and II IS hut
Just, that where men have cleared fields, bull hnu-
Ses, cut out paths through the woods, aud enabled
country 10 be settled, that they should have pref
erence over others in getting the beneht'l Their own
Iahor; and 1t is a cruel and unieehng Government
that will not grant it To them. And we now tell the
settlers on the public lands, and frontier people,
plainly, "that when you hear these Federalsis
talking oil pre- empton rights and what Harrison
has promised aud will do for them, ~ remember
the 80, cabin" promises made by the FederalSIs
in Baltimore on the Alb of Nav, and the votes Of
these same British Wings upon the bl intended 10
aid you in buying your own cabins.
We gave in our last Sem-weskly Globe the en-
tire vote ol both parties, by yeas and nays, on The
three test questions which decided the fate OF the
Presumption bill We shall now give the vote of
the Federal party alone on each OF these attempts to
Destroy it. The tenants Of log cabins will see AT
glance what would have been their fate if had de-
pended on the votes of that party which now pre-
tent1 10 such fellowship with them-such zeal Tor
their interests.
On Mr.. Llncoln's melton 10 strike oct the main
PARTS of the bill, the vote stood, for striking out,
eighty-siX; against it, ninety seven. So the bill
was saved, and by Democratic woes. What would
have been the result but for the Democratic votes,
will be seen by The following array OF the Federal

On the direct vote upon The passage of tie bill,
the FederaliSts were AFRAID To show themselves in
solid phaanx against the settlers. A few Of them
voted for the settler, WIN, on Mr.. Lincon's motion,
showed willingness 10 drive him from his ca bin.
Others of them deserted bur the Federal vote, as

their votes in Congress 10 elccti il.
