The Next President,

Nominations from various quarters are being made,
and it is more than likely that in due course Of time
upuards of several Candidates will be fairly out We
see it stated that the Democratic Convention Of Ken
lucky, has appointed Delegates to the Baltimore Con-
venton instructed to support the nomination of Gen.
CAss.
The Democratic State Convention Of Louisiana, have
also elected Delegates for the SAME purpose.
On the Wing side Mr. FILLMORE is decidedly most
prominent. The whole Kentucky Whg press with q
single exception, and that the Louisville Courier it is
stated urge the nomination Of Mr.. FILLMORE for the
next Presidency and the nomination Of Mr.. F. in the
Wing State Convention was unanimous.

held at Indianapolis expressed its preference for Gen.

Every one, be his situation what it may, has in
terest though he may not perceive it, in the moral i'm
provement of society. Could we remove the curt ain
that separates time from eternity and look into the
realities of that world from whence no traveller re-
turns" and could We be permitted to see what shall
be hereafter then might we know the full effects of
our words and the result Of the
smallest excrtions in the Of virtue and realize
the awful consequences of even word or look that
would deter from the path Of recttude.
Our conduct affects first ourselves and those mme
datey around u.s. then, through thcm others more re-
mote and still onward like the circle in the water
til the influence is lost to view in the distance all
our words and actions should be governed by regard
to this momentous truth. What sad retrospect to
look on life spent without usefulness, and what is
far worse the influence we exercised over our fellows
used to promote good cause to ncite to no benef
cia purpose perchancc employed to encourage others
in vice. or in turning tIcm from the path of virtue
This is sad thought of some it may be true; let each
one who reads consider for himself and see that Of
him may never be said that he turned any from the
path Of rcctitude. -

Money-North and South.

The present relative condition of the money
market South and North is anomalous. Money
is easily attainable in Northern cities at reasona-
bic rates of interest. In the Southern cities 1t
is comparatively scarce. There are no causes to
produce its scarcity in the latter that should not
operate in the former. In fact, there are clrcum-
stances to enhance the value of money at the
North which must have more limited influence
at the South. Schemes of railroad and manu-
featuring improvement, as we'll as commercial
adventure, absorb large amounts Of captalin the
Northern States, which are constantly pressing
on their resources. In the South We have much
fewer calls for money in any of the departments
Of enterprise, public and private. The South
possesses the largest means of payment. This
section contributes two-thirds in value of the na
tional exports. Its staples are equal to the pre-
scious metals as means of remittance.
What then should contract the accommoda-
ton that facilitates business, that is necessary
to prevent the stagnaton of enterprise! Are we
in the South so cXtravagant in our habits that
we constantly anticipate our annual revenues
Or do we contract debts for propcrty-tor land
and aves-disproportoned to the market value
of the products of which they are the instruments
Of production? Some part Of the pecuniary pres
sure which has been experienced recently in the
South may be traced to this last circumstance.
The price of negroes has been far beyond their
value, as compared with the value of the article
which principally regulates that price. There is
no due proportion between slaves at $500, and
cotton at cents per pound. This want of pro-
portonate value between our chief staple Of agri-
culture and the value of labor purchased to pro-
duce it, has no doubt caused serious cmbarrass-
ment. Payments from the country have con-
seouentlv been slack The resources of our banks

CALIFORNIA PUBLIC LANDs-The Committee
on Public Lands in the California Legislature
have presented a report, retcrating opinions in
regard to the propricty of donations of and by
Congress to settlers in this State, and submit
ting resolution very similar in character to that
originally proposed by Mr. Wood. The com
mittec say, in their report that the area of the
State of California embraces 93,922, 400 acres
OF this quantity 100000 acres are mineral
land and other lands unfit for cultivation g
$4,000 acres are tulc or swamp lands and 49,
5000 are lands which cannot be irrigated,
and are therefore unfit for cultivation, being val
liable only for grazing purposes. There remains,
then, only 20.000,000 acres susceptible of irri-
cation and cultivation. But portion of this
2O,OOO,O0o acres is covered by private claims,
Spanish grants. The committee are therefore of
opinion that the quantity Of agricultural land in
this State, belonging to the United States, does
not exceed l5,O00,000 acres. If, then, 800
acres were donated to each settler, a homestead
would enly be secured to 1854 persons while
if l6O acres Ss>the amount donated to each
settler, it would give homestead to 93,74S per-
sons. The committee, therefore, introduce a
resolution directing the California Senator, DC,
in Congress, to cndcavor to procure the passage
of law donating 100 acres to each settler

q primeval forest. The earthen road or turnout
should be from twelve to eighteen feet wide.
Formerly the plank roads were wider, say from
nine to twelve feet, but then one-third was lost.
Over single track in n. Y. 10000 wagons
passed in one year or 220 per diem; and it was
found sufficient The turnout is sloped to the
ditch and should be kept in good order. This is
not difficult, because It seldom occurs that two
wagons turn out in the same track, hence no ruts
are made. The sleepers upon which the planks
are laid should be six inches square to wide
roads. To eight feet roads two sleepers four
inches square are amply sufficient, but twelve
by three arc recommended.
4 road in Canada three miles long does we'll
without sleepes. They are used of different
lengths, Is, le or 20 feet. The road should not
be wider than necessary for the track of the
wheels. The width differs in different sections
of the country. The planks shoud be or 4
inches thick, but it is better to take from the
plank and add to the sleepcrs-3 inches thick
enough. Thicker will do, provided the travel IS
sufficient to wear it out above before it rots be-
low. 1t is disadvantage to spike down. 1t
should be covered one inch thick with gravel or
sand-saw-dllst and tan-bark are used also. The
timber, with the work, are the chief items of
cost. The following are estimates realized from
experience. If timber can be had at 70 cents,
it will make it still lower. These are quite high
enough to cover any probable outlay, even at
the minimum charge. The charge for gate
houses is altogether too high, even at the lowest
figures:
