Railroad 20 the Paciac-The Public Lnnds.
The following are the resolutions adopted by the
National Reformers last evening al the close OF Mr..
whitncy's Lecture. There is In them more truth than
there was fairness Justice in inienupng the proceed
inss Of Mr. Whitney and his friends and virtually driving
them out Of the building Tor the use Of which they alone
hall and meeting at the expense Of others does not
commend Itself either 20 Judgmentor conscience.
R,.olrcd That a National Railroad ought to be the
property Of the Nation the property OF the States
through which IL should rass-that the proper mesnE
iof constructing a Railroad Ia tax ON the People

md bat project Of this magnitude ought not to be en-
tired upon by Congress without hf submitting 10 the
trst tote OF the People.
fslred That while we are engaged in war, sup

any other purpose ought 10 be looked upon attempt
a, public plander OF the most glaring magnitude.
hselrod That the prominent truth Is now being ac-
kaowedged that every adult born upon the soil,
has right to demand Of the State the free use of land
upcn which 10 procure subsistence, and that II any
isrsher Obstacles be thrown in the way to the freedom
