The Pnblic Domain.

Few persons realize the enormous extent
of territory, comprehended under this term,
belonging to the United States. Its area
has not been precisely ascertained, but as
nearly as it can be estimated from the Off
cial data it comprises 442,2l1l97, or one
thousand four hundred and lorty-two mil
ion two hundred and seventeen thousand
one hundred and ninety seven acres. Much
Of this land is unfit for cultivation by reason
of its being under water, rocky, mountain
Gus, or incurably sterile; but as whole it
is better fitted for the use and subsistence
of man than any equal amount that can be
found in one mass in the world. After
making every allowance for worthless tracts,
the Public Domain of the United States,
now unoccupied and lying waste, would
suffice to give every man, woman and child
now living on the face of the earth, an acre
of good ground each. All of this land, it
should be remembered, lies within the tenn
perate zone, and is more prodgally favored
by nature with. facilities for traverse by
means of lakes and long sweeping rivers, or
the case with which artificial means Of CONF
munication can be made, than any country
of the world With such scope for expan-
sion and with cur natural disposition to i'm
prove such advantages to the utmost, who
can set bounds to the Ultimate greatness and
power of the American people

As WE ExPECTED.--Since Mr. Fillmore wrote
his celebrated letter commcndatory of those
noble fellows" the southern Wings, we have
been satisfied that it was the intention Of that
branch Of the wing party in this state, Of which
he is the recognized leader, to 60 with the south
on the slavery question, with view Of obtaining
the patronage Of the next administration. The
following from the Rochester american, one of
the Fillmore papers, acknowledges the coin"
The chief objection to sending Gov. Seward
to the Senate at this time consists in the fact,
that his abolition position would render him use
less if not worse than useless to his party, when
the free soil question comes up for settlement.
He has, as is well known, aspirations for the
Presidency, and his opinions are such that he
must look for his support wholly from one Sec
ton of the Union. 1t will, therefore, be his in
terest 10 keep the free soil question open for ag-
itation as the ground for a new organization of
parties in 1852. This project was foreshadowed
in his Cleveland speech, and is plainly discov-
cred in all his movements. Under this state of
facts, there can be no doubt that the prosperity
of the wing party requires some unobjectionabe
| mana man WllOm all lHe WHY'S vi tIle sldle
could cordially support-to be sent to the Sen
ate"
Because Gov. SEWARD is opposed to the OK
tension of slavery, he can be of no service ic
the wing party. Truly, it is a candid confession
and is more commendable for its simplicity than
for its wisdom. If we are not mistaken, howev-
CIR, the objection here brought against Gov ST.
WARD, by the american, will, in the eyes of the
legislature, be the strongest reason IN favor o
his electlon.-Bufalo Republic.

GOLD DoLLARs.--The New York Mirror, in
closing an article on gold dollars, uses the fol-
lowing language:
I" We have forgotten the name of the gentle
man who brought this bill forward in the House,
but we would respectfully suggest the following
amendment: Let all the coin issued from the
United Suites mint, from this time henceforth,
and forever, bear the image and subscription
of the President of The Republic"
This at once stamps the Jeffersonan Demo
Graf. -four memory serves us Alright in the
earlier days of our Republic, the same thing
which is recommended in the amendment Of the
Mirror man was proposed and voted down by
Thomas Jefferson and the friends of Democracy.
And are we, at this late day, in these times OF
progressive Democracy, to take up this deiunct
notion OF Federalism, this appendage OF king
craft, and make it law of the land! Such a
thing cannot be. Perhaps this writer would like
to see the image and subscription OF his idol up
on our coin; but we would not. The images OF
the Goddess Of Liberty and our proud American
Eagle are beautiful enough for us. We wan!
no man. worship; we have no desire to go back
we want to go forward: let our motto be " On
ward and upward" But the gold dollars-we
want them. The presses have spoken on the
subject, and we have not heard dissenting
voice. The people are speaking on the subject
and agree with the press. We hope that Con-
gress will open its ears to the voice of its SOW
ereigns, and give US gold dollars.-Bdltimort

men in the late Presidential contest, and
declared for Free Soil principles. Not
withstanding the favorable position OF the
paper, and its circulation in country
which abhors slavery in all its parts, the
party to which it was attached have failed
to render it a proper support, and the Ad

fad be il further resolved, That if such paper
is in the Department of State, the President be
requested to inform this House whether said
Commissioners, or Plenipotentlares, were en-
powered to make said explanations and give
said guarantees and by what authority they were
so empowered; and whether the said protocol
has been submitted to the consideration of the
Senate of the United States, and been sanction
ed by constitutional majority Of that body.
find be II further resolved, That the President
be requested to inform this House whether he
was aware of the existence of such protocol at
the time of his proclamation of the final ex-
change of notifications of said treaty on the 4th
day Of July, 1918.
1t appears from the reading of the Protocol,
that the Mexican Minister objected to the a.
amendments made to the Treaty by the Senate
of the United States, and insisted On having
these provisions of the Treaty stricken out by
the Senate, restored, before he would consent to
the exchange of notifications of the Treaty.
The ninth article of the Treaty made at Gau-
dalupe Hidalgo by Mr.. Trist and the Mexican
Authorities and by the Senate, was in the fol-
lowing words:
"The Mexicans who, in the territories afore-
said, shall not preserve the character of citizens
of the Mexican Republic, conformaby with
what is stipulated i'll the preceding article, shall
be incorporated into the Union of the United
States and admitted as soon as possible, accor-
ding to the principles of the Federal Consttu-
ton, to the enjoyment of all the rights of citi
zens of the United States. In the mean time
they shall be maintained and protected in the
enjoyment of their liberty, their property, ant
the civil rights now vested in them according t.
the Mexican laws. With respect to politica
rights, their condition shall be an equality witt
that of the inhabitants of the other Territories
Of the United States, and at least equally goot
as that of the inhabitants of Louisiana and thu
Floridos, when these provinces, by transfer from
