four important bills. The first, second and

that in this question, the concession is all the
part of the south. She has right to take slavery
just where she peases, and it is only from her good
ness of heart and desire for harmony thai she is
willing to give up to freedom part ofthis territory,
and We warned, if the north does not choose to
accept of these liberal OFFERS that we must take the
consequence in the determination of the south TO
occupy the whole territory. Comment is needless,

Vote yourself a FARM.

would certainly be better that YOU should vote your

crease the wealth of the country and add to your

less and burthen to society. Don't lie afraid Of
the idea that it will be wrong to get farm of GO

Cove nmcnt land is but another name for people

Besides you have paid--you have paid for the pur-
chase and survey Of this land and also for the sup
port of government whose business 1t is to guaram-
tee to YOU your share of the purchase and protect
you in it. Or if you have spongcd your eating and
wearing out of some else, have just come into
the country and have never paid farthing,so much
the more reason why you should have a farm. The
government wants Your assistance, and you want
the farm that you may be able TO bear your propor-
ton of the expenses Of government. You will de
fraud wrong one, by voting yourself farm
from the public lands. The question is only wheth-
or the people will sell the land the people fer ten
shlIings an acre or whether the people will disri-
butte it cquitably among the people without this tax
As a matter of right and good policy, you are en-
titled to a farm; then vote yourself one.

GREEDY on LAND REFoRM.-(irCeiv thinks that
all men have a natural God given right to the earth
bat then, he says he forget that the public
lands stand pledged in the most solemn manner for
the payment of the late war debt, and therefore lie
cannot go fer freedom of the public lands Let us
examine this position little. Man has a natural,
Godgvcn right to The land Yes. Wei, what
makes slaves? Why, depriving them of their natu-
raj, God-given rights. Wen then, if the govern
ment had pledged the persons of citizens and
their children forever, for the payment of this debt
would not the pledge have been equallv binding and
sacred We cannot perceive the difference; ard
the idea that one generation has right to perpc
trate an admitted fraud upon the succeeding one,
is certainly not worthy of Horace Greeley
The Milwaukee Sentinel as also some other pa
pers, affect TO believe that the same principle which
would lead to freedom orthe public lands. and their
equitable division to the human family would also
demand distribution of all other property. Now
we cannot believe that the editor of the Sentinel
or any other Editor viii entertain such an opinion
upon due reflection. Certainly there Is a vast diG
ference between the clements Of nature, which no
man created and those articles of property which
man has created. The air. the water, the earth,
elements Of nature, created b. God, and by him
alone; where then does man get an exclusive title
TO those elements? Has not the great Creator in
creating all men alike, in their necessities for
portion Of these elements. Enthusiastically declared
tnat all men have an equal night to them! But it
is different with the articles OF personal property
which man creates. Give nysell, and brother, our
quantity of Gods earth, 10 which by the deed,
signed, sealed and delivered in our constitutions,
we entitled and then if he, by superior skill or
superior industry, mobiles and works up his share
Of the raw material 10 better advantage than do,
it belongs 10 him against the world, There is the
distinction What create is nine; what God and
lie alone, creates, cannot claim exclusive title 10,
aud when the Sentinel, and other sheets make the
assertion, and indulge in the against freedom
OF the public lands they do it evidences that they
have bestowed very little thought on the subject.
