Soldiers land warrants have become articles OF consi-
de1able traffic in Wall street. since the close of the
Mexican war; and the sale of them to actual settlers
will reduce very much the revenue Of the government
from public lands 1t is estimated that there will be
issued about 90 eco warrants which, at the market
price, will represent a value of more than ten millions
of dollars. These warrants are worth-taking as a
basis valuation the price for land-two
hundred dollars each making the aggregate value about
eighteen millions of dollars The present price OF
there warrants ranges from $40 to Sll6 which re-
the cost Of tbs land per acre. to about seventy
cents Nearly onethrd of the quantity to be issued
have already been issued, many of which have been
sold and located The official valuation Of these land
is eighteen millions of dollarsequal to the
public sales Of lands in six years and it ii
very probable that actual setters-and all Others
wishing to purchase public lands-will buy these
rants at the depreciation instead of purchasing Of thu
land Offices the government will suffer reduction in
its annual revenue for that PERIOD OF about three mil
lions of dollars.

.aitesi, or ,eiiness,

BY acknowledging this act before notary public it
becomes legal and there is likely to be considerable
litigation and difficulty in relation to these warrants
IN consequence Of the humorous counterfets in the
market purchaers and holders cann5t be too careful
The only safe way is to purchase of some responsible
broker in Wall strt ct who will guarantee all the war;
rants sold by him. that in the event of their not
being legally issued, any thing being wrong about
them, they have recourse to good house for redress

The WARD MEETINGs.-WHAT's IN NAME =
AS the election approaches, we shall have the
walls, posts, and pillars, everywhere about the
civ. mastered over with calls of meetings, with
the names of patches of honorables, as speak
ers, who, perhaps, are not even invited TO ad-
dress either of the parties who assemble. This
fraud has latterly been carried to such excess, as
10 arouse the Indignation of some OF the gued
who are interested in these meetings; but if a
crowd are thus brought together, the cheat sue
ceeds, and the political thimbleriggers are salts
fed. The party that are reduced to the necessity
of playing off such trick must be sadly below
zero, IN these exciting times; and yet we do not
find single political meeting in which some such
gambling is not resorted to. This trick is not
even confined to our city, for the politicians in
our neIghborlng cities, also, play of the same
humbug.
The most amusing part of the proceedings at these
ward meetings, however, is the large parade Of
names for officers, vice presidents, and secrea-
Ties, who scarcely ever appear on the spot but the
eulhbles at distance swallow the humbue, and, of
course, when in print, this will be taken for
"glorous demonstration" In no part of the Union
is this trickery carried to such excess at election
times, and what is the object To show the
powers that be, at distance, how the d,amatis
persona stand with their party in 'these dlggins,"
and canvass for office in advance. To person
attending these meetings, the calling out of list
of names of men, some of whom may be canvass
iLg 1T distance, in some county, at the time,
appears ludlcrous enough, and forms theme for
many Joke.
Now we would recommend the politicians to
deal honestly with the great public in these cleo
ton times, and put an end to this system of impo
slt,on and fraud, as many feel annoyed and disap-
pointed at not hearing or seeing the Honorable
Mr. Gullable, from Pennsylvania, or the Homo
rable Mr.. Shocks, from Ohio, or some other homo
rable whom they parade IN their bills. But we
mus. 60 with the times, as this appears now to be
the order of the day.

treasure trove to the gold CATERERS For,
like the famous Midas of old, as as they touch
the gold, every thing around them Immediately Is
converted, IL not into gold, yet into the price OF
gold aud il Is said they have 10 pay ihiriy-hve
dollars tor barrel Of flour, and ten dollars day
TO negro to cook their vIctuals
What a iorcbe illustration is here gwen OF
some of the first principles OF political eco
nomy, Here we see that where there is
plenty of money, the price of every thing
rises in proportion, and that the market value
of commodities of all kinds depends more upon
the means and power of the purchasers, and the
abundance Of money, than upon the intrinsic value
of the articles themselves. Here again we see
plainly illustrated another great principle - one
which il kut TOO little needed by political econo-
mists-and that is, that, in order TO create good
make ct for all commodities, you must make a rch
people. Impoverished nations afford but poor
market Hence we see that mercantile prosperity
d-lends mainly, nay, entirely, upon prosperous
and well employed population.
Now, il may be said, If in California barrel OF
flour costs thirty five dollars, and IN New fork the
same flour costs but SIX dollars, then our SIX dollars
here are worth as much as thirty-five there; and
we here in New York are every whit as rich
with our little money, as they are there with
so much gold. There is much truth In this, yet
the discovery Of this gold will undoubtedly be
benefit TO commerce The gold paid for this flour,
and other articles, will all find Its way to New
York, where the of the articles reside; they
will spend and distribute it among us, and thus 1t
will be dlffused over the whole country. No doubt
the golden tales of these golden streams Will ex-
cite the imaginations OF many ardent and sangulne
minds, and lead them to think of packing up and
moving off to regions where they may hope to be-
come rich thus rapidly. To all such we would
say, beware of the mania of hasy money making;
beware of seeking to become rich by sudden and
extraordinary means; be assured that all the gold
IN the world will not make you happy pursue, quiz
city and steadily the sober path OF regular indus
try; be thankful contented, and act with honor and
honesty, and then you will be happier in the en-
ioyme MT of peaceful conscience, and a peaceful
life, than all the gold of California can make its
possessors.
