From the Detroit Free Press.

The n. Y. Tribune. leading wing paper, has
unwittingly confessed the true policy which gov
erncd the wings in passing the Distribution Bill.
Ii says;
I'VE believe IT essential that the Distribution
shall be secured NOW, since The rerg nerf Congress

the adoption of either of these measures would AT

the pursuits of industry to roaming IN search Of
choice tracts of lands, which 10 pOunce n NOM

lowed by arrangement, bankruptcy, and distress.
Here we see that the prominent object e the dis
tribution bill, was 10 stop the sale OF public lands
and prevent their occupation by Squatters, and
consequently retard the peoplng and settlement OF
the States. Every body knew this would be
the effect of the bill. though the wings dare not
avow il before. Let it be remembered that our
whig Senators and representatives voted for this
measure.
