18th Of April, 1874.
Come all ye bold lads of old 40, 3s
Who rallied round Tippecanoe.
And give us your hearts and your voices,
For Harry the noble and true.
Come show the whole world that our spirit
Is up again, I" steady and sure
And push right ahead for our Harry,
Great Harry-the honest and pure. l
Come forth, one and all, to the battle,
Determined the country to save,
And strike for the Farmer of Ashland,
For Harry-the good and the brave
A leader he is who near failed us,
4 Come let us now give him our best,
Then shout for the FRIEND HOME LABOR,
The Patriot Hal of the West.
For our Protection he struggled,
His coat you will find is home made; .G
He's no friend to the dreadful starvation
That comes from one-sided Free Trade.
Then for home and homes friend let's Huzza,
And never give over the fight,
Though the Dorrites, Free Traders, ana Locos,
Combine to resist with their might.
We're engaged for the war and we'll $50 it."
No fear that Wing will back out, al
For the flag of our country is flying,
And Harry and Home I'VE will shout
Through the air let it echo and soar,
Ger mountain and plain let 1t flow,
Till the heart of each Wing swells with rapture,
And the Locos yield up to the blow.

fee has just been published From this report
we learn, that the quantity of land surveyed du-
ring the past ear, has been four million five hun
drcd thousand acres, exclusive Of private land
claims. These surveys are to form the basis OF
the sales for 1874. Some Of the lands surveyed
IN Louisiana, were found on the settlement OF
the boundary line between that State and Texas,
TO be within the territory Of the latter, and con
segusntly correction of the survey was found
necessary.
The sales Of land for The year ending Dec. Ia.
were ,63o,674 acres--bciug an increase over
last year, of 5l0,i57 acres. The sales have en-
greatest in Missouri, Alabama aud Illinois. II
santcra,cd that the heavy foreign emigration
TO the western States and territories would have
greatly increased the sales Of public lands. Bot
this has not been perceptibly the case, owing to
the fact that capitalists who made large pur-
cbases in tines OF speculation, were comp~lled
