Diaribu,ioa Of The Proceeds Of me P',b
Tic Domaia.-The correspondent Of the
New York Commercial Advertiser, IN an
interesting letter giving an account OF the
State Agricultural Fairat Syracuse, says;
"The Hoe Micah Sterling, Of Jefferson, gave
Us a very glowing description OF the agricultural
state of nIaiteis IN Jefferson. lie made con-
itssion of having, while IN the Senate OF 'h's
State opposed ali appropriations for agriculture

desired in this public manner TO make his change

the Importance Of industry and agriculture in this

THANKED THE WINGS ~ CONGRESS
FOR THE LAND BILL, By WiltH HE
HOPED OUR SYSTEM OF INTERNAL
IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE CARRIED
THROUGH THE WHOLE STATE"
We rejoice to see ONE distinguished OPP
position man rising above the designs OF
party. Mr.. Sterling, in this ayowal, al
owed himself 10 be governed by the I'M
pulses or an honest heart. The Patriot in-
stead of the Politician moved him. The
+" Wings in Congress are richly entitled
10 the thanks Of the whole People for rcscu-
ing the proceeds { the public domain from
demagoeues and destruetycs. These pro-
ceeds will indeed "a carry the system Of IN
feraaI improvements through The Wh0't
state" The Land Distribution Law sup
plies Iusl what this State required to per-
feet lis public works. II gives Us an an-
nuaI income of from 100000 to 81 ,OOO,-
600. This, with the vast and increasing
tolls Of the Erie Canal, will enable New
York TO fulfil her destiny. With The first
instalmem of $500, GOO, which comes 10 us
in July, the State wit ne; only be enabled
to push forward the works now 10 pro-
gress, but to break ground al the North.
1t viii be recoilrcted that We have uni
formly urged the passage Of the Land Dis
iribuiion Law in connection With onr sys-
TEN Ni improvements II ihlHA7tlto AtN
means upon which We have relied to lnyi-
eoraie, extend, and complete that system.
We spent four weeks Of the summer at
Washington in humble but most intent and
jealous efforts IN favor Of this enlightened
and beuefceni measure measure which,
thanks to an indomitab'c Wing Congress,
was carried out.

supported by duties on imports, of which,
however, the necessaries Of life ore 10 be
free. These expenses, nilh the debt 81
