Homestead bill.
Mr.. WARD, of Kentucky, replied to an attack
made upon General Scott by Mr.. CABELL, or
Florida, on former day. He eulogized the char
acter of that officer at considerable length, ara
went on to define the position of the Wing party,
the interests Of which he considered as being
sacrificed in a contest for men. The nominees by
the Democratic party-who, he said, nothwith-
standing their minor differences, would vote as
one man--were all in favor of the compromise
measures, which all hands admitted General Scott
was instrumental in connecting, and whose SYM
pAthies are with the South, where he was edu-
Gated.
Mr.. AvERETT, of Virginia, said he did not
come to Congress TO wage war with reference to
President making, which was too much the prac-
tice of members of the committee nor did ne
rise to defend his position or the compromise
question, but to speak to the disposal OF the
public lands, and as the representative of rural
district, possessing right in the public domain,
enter his protest against any measure calculated
exclusively to benefit particular class of persons,
to the exclusion of the Northumberland to oppose
the BILL the passing of which, he commended,
the Constitution did not permit. He considered
its proposed enactments as offering an insult to
the widows and families of those who fell in the
service of their country, when 10 purported to
give one hundred and sixty acres OF land to any
foreign pauper who might settle in the country. lie
deemed any act by Congress authorizing cessicn
as out of order; but insisted that the OLD States
retained all those rights which they possessed IN
this respect, when they entered the coufederacy.
He denied the right in Congress, under the Con-
stituton, to dispose of the public lands in the
manner proposed. During an arduous life, he
said, he had been extensively brought into con-
tact with the poor among whom there Is a grow
ing feeling that labor is taxed for the benefit OF
the weather. classes and he was satisfied that
the advocates of the bill had mistaken their course
when they intended it for the benefit Of the poor,
who would be much better satisfied if the legisa-
ture would keep its hands out of their pockets.
Mr.. BOCOCK, Of Virginia, here rose, and
stated that as his colleague, Mr.. A., was indis-
posed, he moved that the committee rise
The committee then rose, and the Chairman re-
ported progress.
Mr.. COBB, of Alabama, moved that the House
take up the business on the Speakers table, under
a suspension Of the rules; which being objected
to, the House adjourned at a quarter past three
clock.

hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at The city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your stock
The products of your orchards, and of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you TO calamity enter the list Of
ompetition if defeated honorably, and the high
Character of the judges is a guarantee that you
Can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
cae luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied 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
Dipes and daughters TO bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures The proatcts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic rines, cOEte-
hons and, above all things, to come themselves, as
utihoui ,oonlan and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine TO enjoin upon you the pro
priely Of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery Of all kinds, 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 or
elsewhere. We therefore say TO the agricultural
implement makers and Mechanics Of the United Sfaes,
make il a matter Of pride 10 display your machi-
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, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
