The Editor of the "Lyncnburg Vircinian" misrepre-
SCENTS the resolution of 30. He s,aes that nothing is
said by writer in the Republican 10 "shake our (his)
well established conviction that, in the language of the
resolution unanimously adopted by the House Of Dele
gates of Virginia. in 1899, the Public Lands btiong TO
the Stat's."-The House of Delegates said no such
thing in 80 and the Lynchburg V'reinian msquolcs
the language of the Resolution. That FIRST resolution
(Which inadvertently overlooked in our lasD runs
in these words:
"Reso,red That The public lands held by Tie o. belong
all the Sta aud that each and all entitled TO
licipa,e in all the benz fills deriyabic lhercfro;n."
The Virginian suppresses the important words in
Ilacs-espcciay the words ''in common" That is to
say, in the words Of the Address of the Der
Convention &C March last: "The lands coded TO
be disposed Of for the Jen.ft Of the States
posing the Union; not separate &ntes Gut as Union
Yet Congress- by this Distribution law, undertakes 10
parcel the proceeds to the States, and make that
the separate property of each, vii CHI the deeds Of
sion make the common property Of the Union"
The Lynchhurg Virginan equivocntes upon another
point. 1t Denies that the Compromise act binds Con
grees down 10 90 per cent dues-and asks us, if the
Land Fund restored TO the Federal Treasury, and
If that fund.- added 10 the 90 per cent duties would not
meet the ordinary expenses of the Government, whe.
ther we thought the duties ought not to be raised be-
yond 90 per cent. We say certainly, provided the
Government be economically administered, AND the
land fund and the 90 per cent duties are not
not the question. The question is, whether under
the resolution cf 49, these duties be raised, COr'
the Distribution s done away. And we hold that "no
man in his senses, maintain srch proposition,
unless he means TO sopbistcate like citizen foer, and
is isposed to sacrifice TO H. Clay and his party his own
solemn vo,e that the General Assembly "doh not mean
in any event To disturb the Compromise Act. Give
back the Land Fund first Sir and then when you have
done this piece Of equity, you may claim equity at our
hands.
