Bounty Land.

The allowance of bounty land TO the soldiers
Of the Mexican war, as part Of the considera-
ton for which they performed the service. has
been the occasion of numerous applications, of
almost every kind imaginable, to Congress for
land land for the soldiers of the war Of 1912,
who were not entitled 10 any under the terms
of their enlistment, the three-fourths of whom
have gone down to their graves, never once
having dreamed that they had any claim ON the
Government for land land for the soldiers Of the
Florida war, Black Hawk war, &c. &C., and as far
back as the Indian wars, in which General Anthony
Wayne acted conspicuous part; land, also.
for any body and every body who has no land.
With whom these movements originated, will not
pretend to say; but | presume Congress- will cor
rectly judge Of the proprcty Of granting any all
Of these applications. II is fair to presume, how
ever, that spectators the alert, and that
they will avail themselves Of every opportunity af
iordcd to enrich themselves and the prospect, no
doubt, Is regarded by them very fair indeed. In
view, however, Of the various impositions- 10
use harshcr tcrm-practiscd the soldiers of the
late war; Notwithstanding all the restrictions i'm
posed by Congress on the assignment Of their
claims, and the great trouble and perplexity which
these illegal proceedings have imposed on the de
partments Of the Government, should Congress, in
their wisdom, deem Il proper to grant lands TO the
soldiers Of the war Of 1914, any Others would il
not be just and wise 10 impose the restrictions
that were imposed by the fifth section Of the act Of
18th April, 1876" An act making further provi-
sons for military services during the late war.
and for other purposcs'-and which il follows
" And be II further enacted, that no transfer Of
land, granted in virtue Of this any other law
giving bounties Of land 10 the non commissioned
officers, musicians and privates enlisted during the
late war; shall be valid unless the contract or
agreement therefor, letter Of attorney giving
power TO sell or convey, shall have been executed
after the patents shall be isued and delivered 10 the
persons entitled thereto"
think the suggestion is good one, and ought
to receive favor from all who really intend TO bcne-
fl the persons for whom the grant is made, rather
than the interruptions speculator.
JUSTICE
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-05-10

ssthe aggregate profits of all the labor OF
the country, and not Of any particular
branch of industry, constitu the fund out
of which wages are paid; and If that general
fund is reduced by diminished profits,
wages throughout the whole country must
eventually fall" Agreeing with him en-
tirely in this view, we would now ask OF
him, or his friends, whether there is any
one "branch of industry" in which profits
have not fallen, except the exhausting
one Of exporting men and merchandise to
California, never to be paid for; whether
there is not reason to believe that with a
good cotton and wheat crop, 'the general
fund" will be diminished by lower prices
and smaller profits than we have yet seen;
and whether there is not fair prospect of
the speedy arrival of that period when
"wages" throughout the whole country
"must fall" putting total stop to i'm
migration, and thus throwing upon the
planter and farmer the whole burden of
the outward freight, internal and external!
Under such circumstances, how are we to
pay seventeen millions Of interest, and
have any thing left to apply to the pur-
chase of the "cheaper fabrics' of Europe9
This question must soon be answered, and
the sooner the Committees of Commerce
and of Ways and Means shall set them
selves to work to provide an answer, the
better it will be for them and their politi-
cal friends. The PRESIDENT has done his
duty; the country waits to see if they do
theirs.

This language is somewhat different from that Of
the Home Journal, which few days since sneered
al American ministers, because they are not skilled
in the etiquette Of foreign courts. Mr. Willis seems
10 think that the great duty Of minister is to en-
tertain company and do the honors Of bis house.
We have no doubt but the ministers Of other pow
ers usually surpass those Of the republic in style Of
living, and in polish Of manners; but we may look
with pride on the treaties which our uncourtfy and
rustic dipomatists have negotiated
