,nlv answer that we are extremely DESTROYS Of iv-

Express. we are every few days put on the deiens
I'VE. We care nothing ofihis for our own sake, but
we know our readers dislike it, and on their account
we would gladly be excused With Loco-Foco
papers and politicians. we are always ready Tor
tilt. and we care no, how roughly they choose to
ride il We meet Wings when ne must
The Express spins hall column OF sophistry on
our question Is it r,ght to cede away the Wild
lands Of nation in enormous quantities 10 few IN
dividuss not to be improved or cultivated by them
out 10 be sold ont or leased 10 actual cultivaors.
We certainly think that course is not righthat il
i inpol,c, pernicous and opposed to human well
being and gave this j. one Of oar reasons for dis
king the Annexation Of Texas where this bad En-
p-esario or PATRON system has fastened itself on
yearly all the good lands In saying this system
vas wrong. we only asserted that our own PooHc
Land system was an infinitely better one. But
-ays the Express, # you say one generation na' ~
right 10 cede away all the wild land OF the nation u
a few individuals, then you maintain that snch ceS

very questionable morality.-And when the TX
,,css arones that because we think some things
sbjcb have been done are not right therefore one
generation can IN no case bind succeeding genera
tons. it il guilty of gross uniairness. Even the tx
press would probably admit that there are some
things to which one generation could not bind ITS
successors-for instance ii could not morally bind
them TO live in Slavery nor any thing like IT. But
AL we have ever suggested with regard to unoccu-
pied public lands s greater caution in allowing them
10 become private property than has been practlced
in Texas and some other instances.
But the Express will have it that we intend some
kind of Agrarianism or division Of lands already
become private property and profoundly suggests
II monopoly Of the land be wrong monopoly o.
the neoessares the Injuries and the comforts oil lie s
wrong
If the Express means by necessaries, &c water
air sunshine, &c then its logic is good, otherwise
il is not Whatever is produced by human labor
and 80 is capable Of indefinite increase, is the prop
cr,v of the producer or whoever has employed ana
paid the Labor which produced it but Land IS the
oroduct of the Creator and can be increased IN
quantity but TO a very limited extent. If one man
own whole State there must be the less for all men
beside but one man may own an immensely OF
Grain. or Woo or Cloth without at all restricting
save transenilv, the amount be shared by others
If capitalist ihould undertake to buy up all the
Grain and hold i, ont of market, he must enrich the
sellers, temporarily embarrass consumers, and uli'-
matey ruin himself; but if he were TO procure
grant of all the unoccupied land in the world and
hold i, out of market the effect would be very Sc
rious 1t does seem tina, the difference in these
'wo cases is not beyond the reach of the perspica
city of the Express.
The Express repels the mputation OF base
ness in the motive and manner of its attack upon
rs, but proceeds to justify ii by skulking and das
'ardly impuations upon us Thus,

Now our readers cannot but be aware that all this
wrctched slang about bran bread, give up meat.
&c appears not at all in The Tribune but in the
columns of the enemies of The Tribune. We are
confident have rarely if ever alluded TO the sub
icct save casually in reply 10 some malignant, block
head who could find nothing worse TO say Of us than
that we ate bran bread On the question of Re
peal il is Just as natural that should be on the
side of Liberty that the Express should stand on
tina, OF Tyranny, and we quite willing that the
course of both should be remarked upon But
neither this subject, that of Fourierism or no hang
ing for murder have ever mingled in any way
with Politics much less attempted TO saddle our
views on the Wings as their creed, las the EX
press. with equal mcanncss and falsehood, insinu-
atcs We have never counicnanced any attempt 10
change the creed of the Wing party by inierpo-
la,ins any notions of our own Had the Express
and other journals acted with equal forbesrancc.
and kept out of Nativism. we firmly believe that
