GEN. HARRISON's REPLY.

North BEND, 10Th Dec. 1889.
Gentlemen--I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter from Harrisburg of the
9Th inst.
However Objectionable in the opinion of many
of our fellow citizens may be the mode of selecting
a candidate for the TWO highest Offices oil the Gov
eminent by GenG4 Convention, the peculiar
circumstances in which the party opposed TO the
present Administration were placed, seem to have
left them alternative to secure that unity of &C
ton so necessary to their success. The number
OF States represented, and the exalted characters
of the delegates to whom the delicate task of nom
mating candidate was committed, leaving no
room to doubt that their decision was in accor-
dance with the wishes of ma jorty of their con-
stuents accept with gratitude the nomination
which, in obedience to resolution ofthe Conven-
zion, you have done me, gentlemen, the honor 10
communicate
But however highly may value this evidence
ofthe attachment and confidence of so large por-
ton Of my fellow citizens | must beg you TO be-
lieve, gentlemen that no one is more thoroughly
convinced than am, that in selecting retired and
uDpretending individual to he their candidate the
convention were influenced by circumstances Of
len occurring in popular governments to set aside
the higher claims OF other citizens although foun
ded upon the possession of the most distinguished
talents and the performance OF the most eminent
services to their country, united to every other
quality necessary to the discharge Of the duties oil
! Chief Magistrate of this great Republic.
1t may perhaps be expected that l may embrace
this occasion to declare the principles upon which
the Administration will be conducted, if The efforts
ofmy friends to place me in the Presidential Chan
should prove successful. But having, in letter
to the Hon Harmer Denny, and in another to the
Hon. Sherrod Williams, both of which have been
made public, given my views at some length oftht
character and extent of the powers vested by the
Constitution in the President, consider it unne
cessary to repeat them here,
deem it, however, gentlemen, proper at th
time to renew the assurance heretofore frequently
made, that should be elected to the Presidency
i will, under no circumstances consent to be q
candidate for second term.
With highest consideration gentlemen, fol
yourselves and those you represent,
l am, your fellow citizen,
w. H. HARRISON.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.


Gov. Seward, of New York, thus alludes TO this
subject:
The rapdity with which the system OF Internal
Improvements shall be prosecuted, aud conse-
quently the period at which its full advantages
shall he realized, depend moi altogether upon the
Legislature. The Federal Government holds in
trust for the States almost thousand millions of
acres of land, the valde of which, at the lowest
government price, is one dollar and twenty five
cents per acre. This immense domain, the prop
erty of the States, coded by them to the Gen
era Government, as their trustee, for common in
terest and benefit. la 1870, Congress very prop
ery pledged the ayals Of the public lands for the
payment of the national debt That debt has
been discharged. The revenues which the Fed
eral Government derives from imposts should he
sufficient for all its expenses, and that Government
has no legitimate right to use the proceeds of the
public lands 1t neither constructs works Of in
iernal improvement nor establishes systems of ed
ucation. The State Governments are charged
with these responsibilities, and with the rcgula-
ton OF their own municipal affairs. The sum
which has been received into the Federal treasury
from the sales Of lands exceeds fifty millions OF
dollars. bill passed both houses Of Congress
making distribution of these proceeds hut was
lost for want of the Executive approval The
proportion of these avails which equably belongs
TO this State would relieve her from the necessity
OF delaying or poslponing the prosecution OF any
one of the public works already undertaken, and
would enable her to assume others in which her
citizens have engaged. Her interest in the immense
domain remaining unsold is u resource which
would enable her TO extend her improvements until
no dwelling within her borders shall be distant
more than fifteen miles from means OF rapid COM
miInicaon.

"The article of the Waterman on the message
reminds us of tho idea of small potatoes, a few
in hill, and the hills good ways part
". Patriot
Thank you for the flotering compliment. We
sometimes think that we must hunt cut the truth
by just reversing the assertions ofthe Patriot; and
in this particular instance, the column of hard Dig
ging, which is bestowed upon our potato field,
justifes us in this course, We are really sorry
that our neighbor could not make an honorable re-
ply to us. His attempt to make out an admission
on our part, of the prosperity Of the country at
the close of Jackson's term, is a mere bubble;
and his other attempt, to show that the President
does not admit the bad state of things now, is
worse than quibble. 1t is true, the President
speaks oil bountiul harvesls and the blessings of
agriculture but he admits, nevertheless, that the
country is in bad condition n fact which is rem
dered ,oorse from the very circumstance that this
is true, in spite of The liberal blessings of Provi-
dence.
| For the edfcalion Of the Patriot we will note
few Of the admissions Of Mr., Van Buren,. At the
outset lie declares that lie cannot say that the past
year has been one of unalloyed prosperity; in adj
dition to the caamites Of fire and disease he de
clares that serious embarrassments yet derange
the trade Of many of our cities" Again, lie COM
plains Of an enormous foreign debt admits the
continuance Of "indan embarrassments; J" and
warns us ofh probable deficiency in the treasury.
In another place he expressly declares that the
continued agitation of the question relative to the
best mode Of keeping and disbursng the public
money. still iJpiously affects the business of the
country Further on he speaks OF" unusual de-
rangements in The operations Of trade" OF disasters
attendant on the lnte financial changes of the
eriis suffered by the commerce and currency OF
the country and of the burdens which are rapid
" coming upon the people He admits all this
we find fault in that lie dsingenuously concealed
the fact that the government is responsible, >
and seized upon these very evils Of his own pro
ducing, to justify further persistence in his dan
gerous schemes. We hold the Patriot 10 The
message.
BY the way let the reader peruse Waddy
Ihompsons spe ch on the message. He is not d
Wing, and his strong anli-tariff notions creep out
occasionally but there are many things in the
speech worth reading.
