Land Limitation Rcso,n,;o

Mr.. Murdoch introduced the following rose
lutions, which were read and on motion of Mr.
SPooner, ordered to be printed to wit:
RsSotred, by the Senate and Assembly of the
State of Wisconsin, That the toIefation and
protection by the government of the mononolv
OF the soil in this country. is greatly to be de-
piored And we believe it noxpedicnt and I'M
Just for our national government to dispose of
the public domain to any persons except actual
settlers.
ReSolred, That our Senators in CONGRESS- ba
and they are hereby instructed, and our repre-
sentatives requested, to use all their influence to
secure the passage of law transferring TO the
several States all public lands living within the
same, on condition that the said lands shall be
conveyed to actual settlers only, and in limited
quantities. for price not exceeding cost and
transfer, and for survey of lands lying in the
IerHtones into lots suitable for farming or Will
age purposes, and the CONVEYANCE of the same
to actual settlers only, and in limited quantities.
free of cost.
Resolred, That the Governor is hereby rcpues
led Immediately upon the passage of these res
olutons, to forward a copy TO each of our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress.
The above resolutions passed the House by a
majority of II, nearly all the Wings voting
against them. So a correspondent writes us

Gov. Dewey---OuFself---TiR statutes.
we intend neither to complain Of condemn,
or abuse any one. We design to make brief
statement of facts, and then, so far as mere talk
IS concerned, hold our peace.
Last winter the representatives of the people
passed an act providing for the publication of the
Revised Statutes, which act was deliberately
considered and deliberately signed by the Cover
nor, and became law Under it, we bad right
to apply for the work did apply for it, aud gotit
Our bond vas accepted and approved by the Go
vernon The copy of the laws was given us,
we went on, done the work and delivered 1t. 1t
was prououncedby the Governor to correspond
with the requirements of the law, was accepted
by him, and put at once to the use Of the state
So much for this part of the statement.
With reference to the law but one opinion was
entertained throughout the state, and that was
that the price was fixed at the maximum there
stated. Others applied for the WORK and we APP
piled for it under that impression, and the Cover
nor knew it, and he accerted our bond which
compelled MS to publish and deliver the work,
knowing such to be our impression. He nerer
inimated 10 as directly or Indirectly that he enter
tanned a different rietc. He permitted us to 90
on, to contract heavy obligations, to do the work,
to deliver it, and in his annual message, for the
first time, one month after the work has bee de-
livered to him and has been partially used, he
tells us and others that he conceived it his duty
nnder the law to fix the price, and he according
ly had fixed it at doiidr ami ffty cents vol
umc sum absolutely less than the work cost
us, indeed but trife more than the cost of the
material used in its construction. Is comment
required!
1t is bat justice to ma ;ority of the Legislature
to say that they would in all probability have
done us full justice, had it not been for the posi-
ton taken by the Governor, viz: that although
he had not said word TO US, yet when he accept
ed our bond he had made sort Of Il mental reser-
Walton with reference to the prce-that is, he
had fixed it in his own mind, and hence TO allow
us more would be to violate that clause of the
constitution which prohibits any extra compen-
saton to public contractor after the work has
been performed, thus leaving the inference that
he could not sanction such appropriation.
Doubtless the Governor had reasons for his
course satisfactory to himself We do not con-
denim his motives for we do not know what they
were. We wish only to ask, in view o: the facts
if he has properly represented in this matter, the
spirit of justice and magnanimity of the people of
Wisconsin, in their transactions with Il private
/ individual.
