hold myselfbound to give strict attention
to this matter; not only because of its ntrin-
sic Importance, but because much interest is
felt in regard to it, throughout our District.
The most numerously signed Memorial |
have yet received from thence, is one in ia
vor of the armed occupation of Oregon.
II have received numerously signed Me-
MORALS, which have been presented and re-
ferred, asking for an appropriation of lands,
to be applied as some of the memorialists
ask, to the completion of the Central Canal,
and as others demand, for the improvement
of the Wabash. This subject shall receive
my most strict attention. The proper refer
ence of the memorials is not, as some may
suppose, to the Committee of which, some
what unexpectedly, find myself Chairman,
that of Roads and Canals; but, as it involves
a grant of Public Lands, to the Committee
on Public lands, to which my colleague, DR..
Davis, presides. A day or two ago, DR.. Davis
submitted to the House resolution which
was adopted and sent to his Committee, d.
recting them to enquire into the expediency
of appropriating the vacant lands in the
Shawneetown and Palestine districts, in Hi
nois, and also those in the counties of Knox
and Sullivan, to the improvement of the rioer;
and of appropriating the land in the Vincen-
mes land district, with the exception of Knox
and Sullivan, (Vigo has hardly any vacant
lands in that district to the completion Of the
Canal
off the committee on Public Lands de-
eide upon this compromise, | shall consider
it my duty to support it, (unless receive an
intimation adverse to it from large number
of my constituents on tWo conditions; first,
that in thus appropriating these vacant
lands, the rights of the actual settlers upon
them, presumption, Sc, shall be secured;
and secondly, that the lands thus appropri-
ated shall never be sold higher to the farmer
or other first purchaser, than if they had re-
manned Government lands; in other words,
that they shall always remain subject to en-
try at Government prices. cannot consent
that the Improvements should be made at the
expense of those who may desire to purchase
our vacant lands, and open farms among us.
One of the circumstances now acting the
most injuriously to the State of Illinois, is
the buying up of her land, in immense tracts,
as in 1886 and 1887, by nonresident spec
ulators, who now hold it at five dollars an
acre, or higher; and thus either impose an
enormous tax on the settler, or retard all
settlement of the country.
"What the Government price will be,
know not. In the old land districts, where
the refuse lands have been long in market,
! it will probably be reduced from dollar and
quarter. There is bill to that effect now
effect now pending in our House, which shall
receive my support "

lorty OF my constiiu ents instruct ME to the con-
trary, because it has the merit of favoring both
parties,& will save me from the dilemma Of join
ing either side, but shall do on tco conditions
first, that in thus appropriating these vacant
lands the rights Of Tie actual settlers upon them
(pre-emption, 6Sc.,) shall be sec.ned and second
~, that the lands thus appropriated shall never
be sold higher to the farmer, Other afust pur-
chasers than if they had remained government
lands, in other words, that they, shall always re-
main subject to entry at Government prices
These provisos are happy thought of n1y o1on,
and do not think any one else would ever have
suggested them, | trust therefore that the
dear squatters for whose benefit they are intend
ed will see how deep an interest feel in their
welfare, and will requit the favor at the next
election. Ii is true there is a bill before the
House to reduce the price OF Public. Lands in
the old land districts, which shall receive my
hearty support, and which if it become law,
of which their is every probability, will so COM
pletely diminish The price OF lands even if coded
as to render the proceeds of sales altogether
inadequate to the purpose of the grant, but
be protected, and l shall be certain of their
support hereafter which is Of tar more conse-
quence to me than dozen such canals The
| interests of the dear people always near
est my heart, and shall cease to look
after them while | expect to need their votes

ever before been prepared on the subject Our
private advices from Washington represent him

commensurate with his genius and that the

0rJ-MR. CHANDLER:- be good enough to
insert the following pretty lines from the Even
ing Post and please little girl
THE CHILD AND THE SNOW BIRD.
The ground was all covered with snow one day,
Where tive little sisters busy at play;
When Snow bird was sitting close by on a tree,
And merily singing his chick dee dee
His chick dee dee,
And meriy singing his chick dee dee.
He had not been singing that tune very long
Ere Emily heard him, so loud was his song;
Oh sister look out of the window, said she,
Here's dear little bird singing chick dee dee,
Singing chick dee dee, &C.
Poor fellow he walks in the snow and the sleet,
pity him so-how cold he must be.
And yet he keeps singing his chick dee dee,
His chick dee dee.
If | were beautiful snow bird know
would not stay out in the cold and the snow;
wonder what make him SO full of his glee
He is all he time singing his chick dee dee,
His chick dee dee.
Oh! mother, do get him some stockings and shoes
A frock and a cloak and hat if he chooses
wish he would come to the parlor and see
How warm we could make him poor chick dee
Poor chick dee dee. [dee.
The bird now flew down for some soft crumbs OF
bread,
And heard every word little Emily said;
What figure I'd cut in that dress thought he,
And he laughed as he warbled his chick dee
His chick dee dee Tdee
Pm am grateful said he for the wish you express
But have no occasion for such fine dress;
had rather remain with my limbs all free
Than to hobble about singing chick dee dee
Singing chick dee dee
There is ONE, my dear child, but cannot tell
who.
That has clothed me already, and warm enough
Good merning oh who are so happy as we,
And away he few singing his chick dee dee,
His chick dee dee,
And away he few singing his chick dee dee

Owen, and commented thereon with some Sc
verify. Ihave since found that the letter from
New Harmony Statesman, is considered for
gerry; and as the best means of making the
amsende honorable you will now please to give
in ertensO, the real SIMON PURE, which has just
re ached me by private express. Your readers
may rely upon its correctness.
