WASTI>GTON. July II, 1852.
Mr., H0LDEN-Dear Sir: Observed from com.
munication published in the last number of your
paper, that Mr.. Kerr. the Wing gubernatoriaI can
ddate. has endeavorcd to produce the impression on
the public mind that was favorable to the passage
OF the Homestead Bill. cannot conceive what bear
ing this TACT. il true. stated have on the pend
ing contest between Gov Reid and himself | had
supposed that great and important questions of State
policy were the proper and legitimate issues in q
State election but this appears TO be the case
and as my views have been mlsreprcsentcl in order
to sustain false position, consider it bat an act of
justice to myself to say that was much opposed to
the passage Of the Homestead Bill. and if had been
in the City Of Washington the time wculi have
most certainly voted against it. The bill is wrong
both in principle and in its details 1t has alwaV,
been my opinion that Congress held the public lands
as trustee. and. holding them in that capacity that
possesses no right to dispose of them excepting for
the purpose of executing the intentions of the trust
The bill in question, far from being intended for
any such purpose. was in direct conflict with it. But
am not disposed to enter into an argument on the
subject With respect. W S. ASHE.
