RAILROADS IN IOWA.
q The Senate resumed the consideration Of the
bill granting to the State Of Iowa certain lands for
the benefit Of railroads through its Territory.
Mr. UNDERWOOD took the floor and spoke
in reply to Mr.. DoUcLAs, and against the bill in
it's present shape He argued that there was an
Inconsistency in the position Of Mr. D., inasmuch
rs he had opposed donations of public lands'to
States, but was in favor Of giving them to indi.
viduals. If considerations Of public policy would
not justify giving them in one case, IT certainly
could not in the other, as a State was communi-
ty of individuals. He also contended that, admit
ting the value of the lands to be increased by the
introduction of the railroads, as argued by the
Senator from illinois, their sale world be post
poned from the same cause, ten, twelve or per
baps fifteen years. Mr.. UNDFRwooD submitted
an amendment, giving the old States the benefit o.
the lands, as well as the new ones, and addressed
the Senate, upon this point also, until o'clock
when
The Senate adjourned, withouttalsing the ques.
ton.

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products of yolr orchards, and Of your gardens,
Don t presume that any animal, or product, you
nav own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, 1T is
only by comparison that the relative merits oiany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you nave
is ais good, il not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
,iled to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,,ireS and daughters 10 bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse
hold manufactures, The prOahcts Of The dairy and Of
The poultry yard, preserves, domestic pes, con5ec-
tiors and above all things, TO come themselves, as
.utLom lco,ldn, and The beautiful celebrations Of her
aste aud genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Mau,faetursrs Of .agricuits;rai Implements
md Tools, we would say, that interest anu Paui'
otism both combine TO enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, Us from our present advices
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here OF
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics cfthe United States,
make il a matter of pride TO display your machl-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, aud should be cherished by the
American heart.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. offhs
United States in Congress assembled: The memo.
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desireto reside on the
land thus granted; that IL patented TO them. the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent 70 act LOT themselves
whereas MANY of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
