VIM. II. RICHARDSON,


We arc not surprised that Gov. Gilmers course
in this matter meets with the appreciation Of our
venerable nsighJor, who is at his wits end to get
capital for his party operations. We do not think
however that we eIaggregate in saying that il is
regretted by nearly the whole community besides,
eomprehending both parties. 10 a very extensive
communication we have not met with the first man
that did express his regret at the course Of the
Governor Of Yngnil, and that 100 without any
reference TO party.

New York under the Constitution Of the United

THE LAND BILL SIGNED.

From the National Intelligencer we learn that the
bill distributing the proceeds Of the sales of the public
lands among the States has become a law. UndouUt.
edly II Is generally known that the pacific amendment,
providing for a suspension Of this distribution in case
duties on imports should be increased beyond 90 per
cent their invoiced value, is a part Of the bill.---
We have never seen a definite reason given for intio-
ducing this amendment, for the good reason, perhaps,
that we DO not make il a point to read The interniins.
ole debates occurring in Congress. But the reaso
evidently is 10 coax the anti-t5rif south TO support This
measure by giving assurance that a high tariff cannot
be eKacied by the north without forieiting its portion
OF the public money, which will probably he an efec-
,usl security to the wishes of the south. Ii certainly
was a piece OF good management in so framing these
two bills Hand aud tariff tina, they have a mutual de-
pendence each upon The other, compromising The Sec
tionsl interests of south and north SO that 10th NAV be
partially met. II the distribution bill did not contain
this clause the south, united with northern locoism,
would have defeated il, and II defeated, the revenue
bill was hopeless. So the south gives up II objections
to the lsnd question in consideration Of the beneh, !,
would receive through i, on the isrif question, and the
north gives up It's objection 10 a compromise iarih for
the benefit i, would receive from the land bill.
Yet, after all, The south has got tie best end Of the
bargain, for while i, has gained its poin, by the suap
II shares the money equally with The north. However
I IL batter TO be thus Than 10 adopt the abominable loco
plan Of girins auay the public lands and supporting
government by a DIRECT TAX Upon THE PEG.
