THE SOIL FREE.

We are happy in being able to announce to our
readers that the most important bill which has
claimed the attention of Congress the present
session, bas passed the House The Bill max
ing the public lands free 10 citizens and actual
settlers, passed the house by vote of nearly two
to one. The action of the Senate on this ques.
ton Is somewhat doubtful but if the friends of
the bill push it to a vote before the nomination.
OF president are made, we are confident that it
will pass. Buff action upon the question is de-
layed until after the result Of those conventions
become known We fear that the conservative old
fogyism of that pto-slavery body will defeat
the bill. There is progress even at Washing
ton. Tho democratic principles will triumph
among men. WAR SLAVERY AND LAND No
roFoLY MUST DIE, and their aids and abettors
will sink into ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The sooner the
better.
The following are the provisions of the bill ns
it passed the House:
LIST. That any person who is the head Of
family and q citizen of the United States, or any
person who has become c citizen prior to the
first day of January, 1852, as required by the

to enter, free of cost, one quarter section Of va
cant unappropriated public lands or a quantity
equal thereto, to DO located in body, in con-
formity with the legal subdivision of the public
lands, and after the same shall have been sur
veyed.
I'd The person applying for the benefit Of
the act 10 make an affidavit that he or she is the

tate in land at the time of such application, and

Sd Section refers to the duties of the land

4th. The land acquired under provision Of the

Business Rowling.

Kenosha has gone through with her share of
the hard tmes-we are confident. The faces
of our merchants grow wider, and fcourse are
not so ''long" 1t is no trouble for them to smile
Their wallets increase in thickness-and they
walk faster as they go to and from their meals.
The wheat teams are thicker, and they drive
down to the Steam Mill, the most OF them do,
where they get cash and good price too, for
their wheat; and, they can carry home some
flour if they have q mind to. The mechanics
arc busy at work all day, and just before SUM-
down you will see some of them-and others
who have "fas," horses, on the planks. Jehu !
how they go! look out there boy, or you'll get
you neck broke!
Everything moves, but the conservative old
hunkers of this world, and the ceases in chance
ry." That puts US in mind ofthst case in court
which has been on trial eleven days, and
has cost the county nearly thousand dollars.
Things amt so fast though, as we thought they
were.
