nave few remarks 10 make in re.
gard to the distribution OF the proceeds Of
the public lands.
That suggestion originated in Marylan1
IN 1920. A distribution OF the public
lands, with view to promote education
in the several States, was recommended
by resolutions Of our Legislature passed
in 1920 and transmitted TO Congress. II
was advocated IN this State by both pc.
lItical parties, as matter Of right, with
equal zeal and favot for more than ten
years. No man was so recresn, to the
rights and interests ofour State as to rai,e
his voice against the cleim we had made,
in ell that interval. When Henry Clay
however reported bill for the accom-
pllshmen, Of this purpose, and it was pass
ed by large majofities, cons sting Il both
pariies,-in Congress, and the author of
the bill began TO reap honors Throughout,
the land for bis devotion to this good pur-
pose, IT was instantly brought with n the
Remuneration of party--and. all at once,
they who had always sustained II before,
became its bitter opponents. Attire first
note Of The eaemy's bugle they deserted,
and have abused the measure ever since,
even to the denial of its Constitutional
uy.
A measure SO just so wise, founded so
deeply in our once universally United
right to this fund, and now so greatly
needed to relieve our State from taxation
and afford her the means Of paying her
just debts, one would suppose would not
be abandoned wi,hou, some revolt against

1.-THE PRESENT WING EXECUTIVE"
Thus is President Tyler designated by the
Globe, which has been again taken with rabd
fit of Jacobinism. But we think the time has
gone by to use this old clap-trap system of assault
successfully-it has grown stale in the musty
columns Of The Globe.
From the vetoes TO The last act of the Admin
isiration, (and they have been Unprecedented in
numbers aud unusually importantly an honest
Republican can see nothing to condemn.
jealous preiender to Democracy may condemn
very naturally, and we are prepared to expect it,.

the recent events will put to shame Mr.. Tyler's
reviiers and satisfy all candid readers that he is
at the same time the most abused and the most
deserving Republican candidate before the P,o-
pie.
The Globe and MIR. Benton offended al
the recent Democratic appointments, and at the
effort. Of the Administration to re-anuex Texas
10 the United States. YET, the appointments
alluded to, and particularly that Of the Hon. j.
c. CALHOUN, were hailed with unqualified ap-
probation and Joy by the entire Democratic
party. Mr.. Calhoun's appointment and accept
ancc were made the subjects Of universal con-
graduation by the Democratic press, without an
exception-saving a single journal devoted TO
his interests in this city-by every member Of
the party throughout the country, and by the
United States Senate, which body confirmed
his nomination unanimously. Now, the Globe
and Mr.. Benton, the entire Democratic press,
the People, and finally The Senate, knew that
The appointment Of Mr.. Calhoun uonid neither

Benton, and the Democratic party, knew this,
and apprOred the appointment. Hence the
party was in favor Of annexation. The Senate
knew it, and in confirming Mr.. Cahoun's nom
nation they committed themselves in favor oil
annexation.
But Messrs Clay and Van Buren, have come
out in opposition to the measure, and the Globe
and Mr.. Benton have turned their coats, de-
pounced the treaty, and now sheer atthe 'Whis

Such men as GENERAL Jackson, JoHs G.
