The Old and Young Democracy, is dis
tincion which appears TO be forming in the
dc mccratc party of the country. The
former are those men whose early life and
habits were formed in times when banks and
kindred measures, were cons dered as esscE-
tials Of Government, and they find it vastly
difficult to divcst themselves of their old
habits and ideas. sand there are many fthom
who have been interested in such institutions
have made money out of them, and think
that "wcIl regulated" banking institutions
arc good things. The "Young Domocracy"
know nothing of this kind. They come on
the stage, deriving their thoughts and prin-
ciplcs of action fiom the Developments of
tho pas, unwarped and uncontamiuated by
vicious associations. They arc pure and
honest, and as they labor for the right with
a clear and approving conscience, their arm
is not paralyzcd, but they go into tho con-
test with yigor and cn,hus asm,and il is they
WHO bring victory TO the Democracy. They
are the authors of Reform. Whilst the old
heads arc doubling or clinging,in opposition
frequently to thor better judgment, 10 OK

vigorously at work, and the reform is had

THE PUBLIC LAxDs.-According TO a
statistical table which appears in the tn'o"
the public lands subject to S lie at III S time
are included in the following States and
Territories, 10 wit:-Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou .siana,
Michigan. Arkansas, Florida, and the Ter
ritcres of Iowa and Wisconsin. The
whole amount Of public lands sold in lS44,
was i,l20. The largest amount Of
sales was made in Illinois, beng 40, 4lO
acres showing the rapid growth of that
young state. The smallest quantity was
sold in Florida, being l4,7l IA acres, owing,
doubtless, to The recent difficulties with
the Indians in that Territory. Missouri
ranks next TO Illinois in the amount OF
sales, being l49, $50 acres. From The lst
of January until the 3lst Of August, l84o,
being eight months, the sales IN all the
States and Territories specified, amounted
to l,CS3, 466 acres, the proceeds OF which
amounted 10 1882, 90. Here, again,
the largest amount Of sales has been made
in Illinois; the next in Wisconsin Territory
and the smallest in Florida. The whole
amount OF sales for 1915, ii proportonate,
will abou' equal the sales Of lS41.
