course taken by the friends of Land Re-
form as set forth in the resolutions just
adopted. 1t was the only way to inhu-
ence the Senate, which was largely Dem
ocratic, and as great share Of the Land
Reformers were Democratic, their de-
lection from Pierce and King would turn
the scale in New York. The Reformers
wanted something more than promises
now, and they were determined to have
it, let the result be what it may-they
could support Scott and secure triumph
of their principles under different aus
pices.
M. Devyr inquired who excluded Mr..
Walker of Wisconsin from the Land
Committee. Was it not the Democratic
members of the Senate, for his friendship
for Land Reform, rights of Workingmen
and the settlers of the West? As a
Democrat, he was disguised with the an
tiquated platform laid down by his party.
1t SO closely resembled the Wing plat
form that he was sorely puzzled in de-
termining the difference. Not word
was said for Land Reform in either. The
Wings and Gen. Scott, however, occupied
the best position. The present was ia
vorable opportunity for the passage of the
Homestead bill, if the Felches and Bor-
lands would report on it. But these wor-
thies were for sitting the nations voice,
for disregarding the numerously signed
petitions of the people. Felch owned
10000 acres, Cass 100000, which &C.
counted for their non action and opposi-
'ion to Land Reform:
Mr.. Sharrot said there were 10000
Land Reform votes in this State, exclu-
sive of Anti-Renters. Many of these
were workiIgmen, who had but little
leisure to attend meetings, but whose
votes would all be felt in the general re-
suit. The Reformers should support the
Wing presidential candidate at this cleo
ton. Scott was better Land Reformer
than Pierce. The Wing party must push
through Land Reform. If Land Reform
ers say so, Gen. Scott will be our next
President.
After some unimportant remarks from
several speakers, Mr.. Commerford, the
President, referred to the great power
which the Land Reformers welded in the
political scale. They could throw the
vote of the State of New York where they
pleased. If Gen. Pierce was in favor Of
our principles, he would have come out
for them long ago.
