f despotic Governments Of the Old World muci
e OF the liberal and restrictive policy of former
e times isdiscarded. Yet here there seems in
some quarters to be disposition to retain
with an iron grasp, the power which the title
to the domain bestows.
In respect to this ownership of the unceded
land within their borders, the condition of the
new States is precisely the reverse of that of
the old States in this Union. Upon the sepera.
ton OF the Colonies from Great Britain, the
right to all the territory within their respective
limits was fully recognized in the States. Iii
in the new States only that the right does not
exist. 1T was never denied to Massachusetts.
Virginia, or Connecticut. The State author.
! Ines succeeded to the right Of eminent domain
held by the Crown and have always retained it
All the lands within their limits not owned bv
individuals, became the property of the state, by
virtue OF this right to which | have referred
Inc title OF Virginia, Of North Carolina, of
georgia Connecticut, and of South Carolina, to |
the new territories in the west, We're held by |
thus right, and by no other. 1t was simply /
right derived from the fact that the lands fell
within their limits, and therefore the Govern.
ment was the owner. The reversed condition
OF the new States in this particular finds no par.
allel in any of the older States Of the Union.
On the contrary, the principle which was recog
nized IN regard to all the original States is de
1ied to all the States, and the title bv
Which the land Of The old States, ,held y virtue
u this right, was transferred to the General
government, is the title under which the pub. !
&c DOMAIN in the new Suites is now possessed ,.
y the latter The territory of the new States
the land States they are called, twelve in
umber-was ceded to the Unit d States at diff. !.

J 1857, South Carolina, and in 1902 Georgia.
'ded the territory which now constitutes the
tates of Mississippi and Alabama Other
tates made simiir cessions. By these ces. a,
ons the United States became the owner of g,
lmense territory. About the time of the for IN

The Mail Bag from Dubuque to this city, due
"Wednesday, arrived yesterday noon. The Elk
press which came in that bag, of Wednesday
morning complains that there is likelihood
that Galena will be selected as a DISTRIBUTING
Post Office, and that this city is already made
the terminus Of Daily River Mail from St.
Louis. We are glad to have such an excellent
opportunity to point out to the Express, one rea-
son why Galena is to be preferred to Dubuque
for Distributing Office, and that is the Miss
issippi at Dubuque cannot always be crossed,
and for weeks in the year never with safeiy.-
Ga. .7dr.
If the pretended distractions in the Mississip
pi formed any valid bjection to Dubuque as
point for distribution, the same objection would
apply with ten fold effect TO Galena. because
the country to be benefited by such change,
is principally on the West side of the river.
An other reason why Dubuque is preferable,
is because it is located on the Mississippi, while
Galena is located on Fever river and the ice
invariably leaves the former week or more,
before it leaves the latter, making Dubuque
accessible for boats, When Galena is not.
