THE PUBLIC LANDS.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
This most important of all other ques-
tons is now under discussion at the Ma
tlonal seat of Government. The propo-
sitions Of Messrs Benton, Calhoun and
Clay have been for some time before the
country. This momentous question should
be looked at, scrutinized and decided not
in reference to any claims of mere policy,
but the paramount claims of stern and UNI
yielding justice. Viewed in this light,
however advantageous either may seem
to any one portion ofthe country, the pro-
jects Of Messrs Benton and Calhoun
must be abandoned in preference to the
one introduced by Mr. Clay. According
to the compact entered into in the cession
of the public lands to the United States
by the purchases which have from time
to time been made and paid for by the re-
representatives. of the whole people out of
the common treasury Of the country-it
is very evident that all are alike interested,
and every section of the Union should
share in any benefits that may accrue from
whatever disposition may be made of
them.
MIR Clay's project was SO equitable-its
benefits were SO equally and righteously
distributed, that large majority in both
branches of Congress voted for it, and
nothing prevented the people from real
izing the good of it, but the unwarranta-
bic means resorted to by Gen. Jackson to
secure its defeat. If he had returned the
bill with his objections, he was aware
that it would pass by a majority Of two
thirds, Notwithstanding those objections;
he therefore put it in his pocket, and
thus frustrated the will and wishes of the
Representatives Of the People.
Whatever may be the wishes of the
Western people, they are too magnani-
nous, we believe, to insist upon being
the exclusive owners of these lands ex-
cept those portions which they have ac-
tually purchased. However policy may
dictate to political demagogues to advo-
cate such view of the subject, and how
ever beneficial it might appear. the peo-
pie themselves would be averse to it,
when once they perceived that it is COM
mon stock property and belonged equal
ly to all. There has been SO much So
phistry mixed up with the public land
acknowledgements have mounted so
many hobbies while descanting upon it.
that the people have become somewhat
bewildered and have nearly lost sight of
the real merits of the main question.
Our hope is that the political atmosphere
will soon become more healthy-and that
patriotism and pure democracy will take
the place OF loco loco demagoguelsm.
Every obstacle has been thrown in the
way of the people to prevent them from
understanding the true issue between the
contending parties, and every question
has been so enveloped by the mere robe
of Democracy that nothing but the cover
] ing could be perceptible. But all these
questions, stripped of every garb, will
soon be presented, we hope, on their own
naked merits. The question of the dis.
position of the public domain must be
among that number, and when it docs
come up in this way all, and especially
those most interested-we allude to the
jewellers in log cabins-will understand
| it fully.

October.

The following beautiful description of the
month of October, we cut from an exchange pa
per some time since, and have no recollection
TO which Of them the credit belongs:
OCTOBER has come, the sweetest, saddest
month Of all the year. Its sunsets and It's gor-
geous forests, how beaul(ul-and brief as beau
ulul their gorgeous dyes.
There is pensive beauty in October days;
autumn is now clothed in her loveliest drape-
ry; the forest leaves are not yet dry and crisp;
nature has not yet put on her frigid aspect, but
the signing of the breeze and the falling leaf, is
natures knel for her autumn gories; soon all
these beautiful things will have lost their beau
ly all these bright things their Brightness
These changeful. though lovely scenery, lend
a touching interest to autumn days. Go into
the deep thick wood; listen TO the hushed, deep
murmur of the evening breeze, as it gently un-
dulates she glorious and richly colored foliage;
look away into yOnder vault Of heaven, in this
sunset hour; how the resplendent bues of topaz,
and amethyst and gold, beautifully blend in
each other, and stream in living Light across
the ether sky. 1t is the very gate Of heaven
and that lone star, seems beacon light hung
out from his golden portals, to guide US, erring
wanderers home We can also hear their
blesl voices, as they mingle around the throne
Of the Most High Whose soul viii not kin
die within him, and whose spirit will not thrill
with ecsiacy on contemplating scenes like
these? Who does not feel that he is holding
converse with pure beings that he is
"Just on the boundary of the spirit land.
Close to the realm where angels have their birth!
How eloquent is naiure-who is not purer
and better when he listens TO her voice! How
mpressively does God speak TO us, at this
sweet, sad season. How he lets his goodness
and his glory pass before us. He makes all
nature beautiful, and gives US faculties to en-
Joy It's beauties. Sweet flowers, We too, in
your ever varying hues and delicious odors,
whisper the name of your Creator. Ye wear
the richest dyes, and send forth the sweetest
fragrance, as We are about to fade and dye
Apt emblems of life.
The autumn Of our days is coming, but if we
are ready, like the glorious forests and beanti-
ful flowers, we may wrap our garments around
US, and wait in holy peace, till we are called
to bloom in ''beaury immortal" in the gardens
of God

POETRY.
TIE a Lovely Girl.

Thou art not beautiful, yet thy young face
Makes up in sweetness what it needs in grace;
Thou art not beautiful, yet thy blue eyes
Steal DER the heart like sunshine DER the skies
Theirs is the mild and intellectual ray,
That to the inmost spirit wins its way:
Theirs are the beams that full upon you roll,
Surprising all the senses and the soul;
For oh! when pure as Heavens Sefenest skies,
Thy timid soul sits pleading in thine eyes,
The humid beams that meath thine eyelids steal,
Can softly teach the coolest heart to feel
For Heaven, that gives to thee each mental grace,
Hath stamped the angel on thy sweet young face,
OH while the pearl of peace securely dweAs
Deep in thy tender hearts ambrosial cells,
While Virtue sheds around thy virgin name
A light more lovely than the light of fame,
Thy sweet simplicity, thy graceful ease
Shall please even more than Beauty e'er can please;
Thy heart of softness and thy soul refined
Shall charm and win the most fastidious mind;
And, as for me- where'er my footsteps wend;
My heart, brim full of thee, my happy friend!
Shall pine, when musng on thy sweet young face,
Thine airy footstep, and thy breezy grace,
To lay soft hand mid thy trembling curlS,
And bless thee as the loveliest Of girls.

ga cara't spare Time"

The four words with which we head this ar
ticle, in the effects which they have produced,
have been the cause of great deal of mischief
and have kept many from embarking maniully
IN the work of storing intellectual measures
When young man is urged TO commence the
work of study, he turns and lets fall the four
simple words, 81 can't spare time," and thinks
he has given sufficient excuse from further
attention on the subject.
There are many mechanics, too, who instead
of doing their part towards the cultivation Of
their own minds, and throwing their influence
and talent into the general stock for the i'm
provement of an association, satisfy themselves
with the observation, and perhaps really think
they cent spare time The excuse is very
handy one, and has passed current too long,
for i'll majority of cases there is neither sense
nor truth in it. In the first place it need not oc-
cupy great portion of time for by proper man
agement, large share of invaluable informa-
tion may be obtained in short time; of this
any man may be convinced by trying the exper-
iment.
There is time enough lost and wasted in the
pursuit of what men cali pleasure, which if
properly appropriated, would place them in a
high state of cultivation. Time can be found TO
ride and dance, and Sing-time can be found 10
lounge and talk nonsense; but, alas! how many
think they can't spare time TO attend TO the no.
blest and best part of their nature; that which
alone elevates and causes them TO feel the 'di-
vinity within"
