Thus il will be noticed that the old Safes,
with nearly two-thirds more population than the
land States, get the proceeds Of 20 250 900
OF public lands, while the States get 81 9lS,-
600 acres. The disparity Of the grant il based
upon the time that II Will take TO absorb and settle
the lands granted, and that the new States will in
crease much faster in the ratio Of population than
the old States, whereby they should have condi-
tons in the advance that should approximate as
near terms Of fairness and equality as can be ar
rived at. The grants TO the land States are based
upon donations already received by the several

These new States jealous of their rights
they look upon the proprietorshlp OF the Govern
ment 10 the domain within their limits as oppres-
siye, and are constantly striving for It's alienation
The care and protection Of the Government should
be Of character to foster the growth and settle
ment OF these new States, whereby their resources
may be developed, and the benefits OF social aad
intellectual advancement secured to the people. l
contend, this general BILL while IL protects the IN
teres,s OF the old States 10 the new States
all such advantages Sir, am in favor OF grant
ing all the privileges 10 these new States that are
consistent, taking into view the rights oil the old
States and the terms OF the Constitution OF the
Federal compact. | think ii is due TO the Govern
ment and the land States that they should have
donated lands TO be sold by them, and the pro-
ceeds applied to aid in the construction OF great
lines of railroads. Ii will facilitate the sale and
settlement of the lands and augment the growth
and power of the Government But if should DO

Of equality to all the States. The policy OF spe-

EQUALIZATION OF LAND TO THE STATES.

following donations Of land;

Who has paid this money for the cost and
management Of the landsi The people, in shape
Of custom-honse reyenues--the old States paving
more than ihree-fourths Of the amount. Have
they not large interest in these lands yet, far
as they are a charge on the Government
II is contended that the cost and charges of the
purchase of Louisiana and Florida should not be
charged to the lands obtained that the benefits
derived by the Government in controlling the
mouth Of the Mississippi river was an equivalent.
In answer, would say, the money WINS paid for
the territory. IL is also contended that large
amount paid to the Indians, is no, directly charge
able to the lands. The Indians were found here
occupying the soil, and by title of high and un-
questioned authority and all annu,es, expenses
ofremovnl, treaties &c., direct charge to the

BY which Il viii be noticed that the hberality Of
the Government is not to be questioned, the Gov
ernment having sold ooly one hundred and one
million acres showing that almost as much he's
been donated as has been sold. The proceeds Of
the sale Of the warrants granted to the old States
can be applied 10 schools other public purposes.
To what more high or holy purpose ran the lands

The new States have had every sixteenth section

purpose. IL IL not constitutional to exercise the

RICHARD U. SHERMAN, CLERK

These, sir, are the opinions of the people Of
New York, declared almost without distinction of
party, almost unanimously through the legislative
action of her representatives in the Legislature
opinions which feel bound 10 respect and defend
here, as one of her Representatives upon this floor
acting not only for the interest of New York, but
our common country. .8
These resolutions recognise the right and power
of the Government to make these grants, and that
they shall be made on terms of equality to all the
States. While they approve the policy of the
lberalty already extended TO the land States, they
Indicate that in view Of the increase Of the num-
Der and demands of the new States, the time has
come when some general plan should be adopted,
which shall settle the conflicting opinions existing
between the old and new States Sir, am in
favor of these grants of land the land States for
railroads. with conditions that shall be safe to the
applications of the fund granted, and beneficial to
the settlement and early development Of such
States. Railroads are the great highways Of the
people, and the strong arms of public defence,
binding together the several States of this great
CoDfederacy in one common brotherhood, and
equalizipg the rights and conditions of society,"
Although yet in their infancy, railroads have
revoutonized the old-estabshed laws Of trade,
transit, and commerce; changed, improved, and
elevated the social condition of the peopIe-bring-
ing together the extreme portions Of the country,
with speed and power hitherto unknown, and
not anticipated by the widest dreams Of prophecy.
AS means of public defence Of the country, they
will take the place of forts and barracks by their
power in giving ubiquity to troops and munitions
of war, and in furnishing the cheapest communi-
cation in the world. think il is due to the great
interests of this country that these donations of
land should be made 10 the different States for
such purposes, and trust the time is not far distant
when the golden sands of the Pacific will be united
with the great commercial interest Of this country
by these lines of nter-communication.
herewith submit statement of the progress
Of railroads in this country, which will be found
interesting, containing facts in relation to them up

aCatchEng n Tartnr.D

The origin OF this expression, as
nearly as we can remember, is some>
what as follows:-1n the days when
the soldiers of Christendom were
doing battle against the Tartar
hordes, who were enlisted on the
side of the Turks, a Dutchman, fight
ing valienily on the side OF the Cross
against the Crescent, and more
distinguished for honesty than for
cunning, espied Tartar mounted
on a horse, whom he thought if
would be a valuable trophy TO
capture and bring into camp. To
this end the Du:chman seizing a
favorable opportunity, sprang up
on the horse behind the Tartar,
and clasped him tightly about the
waist. The Tarter, as may be
clapped spurs 10 his horse,
and made off TO join bis troop,
and the last that was known of the
Dutchman by his comrades, he was
going at furious pace towards the
Turkish army behind his intended
and singing at the top of his
voice-"fUe caught a Tartar"

A REAL CuRrosrrr.-we have

A REAL CURIosITY.-We have
had, says the Baltimore Patriot, ma
ny natural curiosities of late-men
and beasts-but here is one that must
wake up new interest:
A correspondent Of the New York
Post vouches as fact, that living
horse, which is now on exhibition in
that city, contains in his eye living
animal,some three inches long, which
moves with as rapid and tortuous a
motion as an eel or water snake.
How did the snake get into the
eye of the horsel Who will answer
that question: Whilst some spiritual
knocker is working out the problem,
let the following statement, from a
New York paper, suffice:
A LUsUs NATURe.-Some years
ago an optician OF this city made a
glass eye Of the proper size, and fill.
ing it with distilled water, put there
in a small eel. A gentleman OF SUBJ
tie wit saw the bauble, was struck
with an idea, purchased the glass
eye, and departed. Shortly after
wards the public were running in
crowds somewhere down Park Row,
TO see ga horse with a living snake
in his eye"--the greatest curiosity oI
the age, &c, &c. The dimes came
plentifully TO the showman's pocket,
and the show went on bravely, until
the optician having been led 10 see
the sight, Immediately recognised the
glass eye made by himself, and inad-
vertantly mentioned it, when the
whole affair collapsed.

FROM SANTA FE.-Later advices
from Santa Fe have been received in
St. Louis. The dates reach to the
29th February. We extract from
letters in the Republican:
The Southern Apaches, where the
weather is never too cold to fight
comfortably, are doing their best to
exierminaIe the race Of Mexicans
and Americans. They have recently
utterly exterminated the mail party
from San Antonio to Ell Paso, near
the latter place. The particulars are
not known.
Major Richardson was attacked
by another party in the neighbor>
hood of the copper mines, and made
a narrow escape with his lie. Two
Of his sergeants were killed.
The mail from Ell Paso arrived
last night. The party, accompanied
by some ten or twelve soldiers, were
attacked in the Jornada. By the
fire of the Indians one soldier was
Immediately killed and two others
wounded. The escort returned the
fire Of the Indians, and killed and
wounded several.
A painful report is, that the Janu-
airy mail, between San Antonio and
El Passo, which failed to arrive, has
been cut of. 1t is not doubted that
the mail has been intercepted by In
dians; and all who were with it Ell
lher killed or captured.
About the first, the former vicario
Of the diocese, Padre Ortiz, on his
return from Durango, whittier he had
accompanied the Bishop, had stolen
from him on the Jornada del Muerto,
nineteen mules and four horses
leaving the reverend father nearly
afoot.
On the 30.h ultimo, all the stock
belonging to the town OF Parida,
were driven of.
On the lst a great sweep was
made in the neighborhood OF La Joya
and Las Padillas. About four hun.
1red mules and cattle were taken off
rom near the latter place and twen-
y from the former.

ship if her husband was living. "No,
poor man." she exclaimed, ''he was
killed in the war with Mexico, fighting
the battles of Ameriky, and here am
left poor widow with six children lean
ing on me for bread" This was spoken
with sigh. We had compassion. The
image Of that infant in her arms, only
three or four months old-the woman a

could resist the appeal? We dismissed
