mitted against the laws, are founded on the same
agrarian principles us those which pervade the
Homestead bill in Congress. This bill is nothing
more nor less than entering wedge for the great
doctrine of the community of property among the
whole population Of the Union. Some of the Load
ing men, such as Webster, Cass, and others, have
given their adhesion to this bill, in its inception,
and may we'll go the whole length of the princi-
pie and acknowledge the conduct of the anti
renters in this State, and the division of the whole
property of the Union to be correct, and valid, and
moral
Where is demagoguism to stop in this wonderful
country Of universal liberty, universal right, and
universal thought, when We sec the great spirits Of
the day, such ms Daniel Webster, Lewis Cass, and
many others of the same stamp, sanctioning and
supporting the principle Of the community Of
property-the principles Of anti-rcntism- which
identical with those of the Homestead bill !? We
suppose the time will come when the whole property
Of the country will be thrown into one vast mass,
and divided equally, by act Of Congress, every Mon
day morning, to be re-dvided again every Satur-
day night. The moral principle which leads the
thief, the pckpockct, and the robber, to the State
prison, is precisely of the Same quality as that
which guides the demagogue in introducing, advo-
caing and supporting the agrarian measures Of the
day. The appropriate atmosphere Of demagogues
and burglars will be found in prisons and State
pcnitentiaries, but nowhere else.
A SToCK-JoBBlNG EDITOR" When rogues fall
out. honest men generally get their own" When
humbugs quarrel, they tell tales out Of school.
When charaans get by the ears, the truth generally
comes out. The two precious Seward anti-slavery
ntimated very broadly that the editor of the Ift-
organs, the Times and the Tribune, are begin
ming to tell tales Of each other. The Times has
bnne is mixed up in number Of stock, jobbing
companies. Here is the paragraph
Suppose further to assert that the editor Of the
Tribune Is large stakeholder in New Jersey Zinc Min
ing Company; and that his earnest and oft-repeated
to convince the public through his paper that all
other paints except zinc paints are injurious and
poisonous in the highest degree, mpellcd by de-
sire to put large dividends into his private purse Sup
Of one and stakeholder In two Of the gold
mining companies in California, which constantly
mended to public favor in the columns Of his disinte
rested public journal Perhaps too, might assert
fact that the editor Of the Tribune has been stock
holder in sundry copper mines Lake Superior and
that the letters and editorials OF the Tribune designed to
promote the sale increase the value of the stock would
afford good index to the names Of the particular
companies with which his private interests most
directly connected.
What a precious revelation this is Here is the
philosopher with his white coat dirty boots old hat,
and short pants, pretending to be Of the purest
men in the world-a second Messiah in politics,
finance, wisdom, and love Of the poor. Yet here is
the testimony of unimpeachable witness, that no
is a stock jobber in all sorts Of bubble companies
that have been got up round about the country for
the last few years and that he has been using the
columns Of his newspaper puff these companies,
deceive the public, and humbug the country, merely
to help the sale of the stocks thereof All this too is
acknowledged by the person implicated. Is not
this precious revelation I! What avarice What
humbug! What deception!
Busy PoIITIcIANs.-Thc partsans Of the nu-
merous candidates for the presidency, attached to
both parties, rs busy bees in cndcavorng to
advance the interests of their respective fav,rtes.
We are crowded every day with letters and docu-
mcnts, and manicsos and pronunciamcntos, and
correspondence, recommending this candidate and
denouncing that-inding fault with another, or
pointing out the great merits, or the great weak
ncsses, of some of the proposed candidates. The
greater portion of such communications is absolute
trash, and two thirds of the facts given in them are
probably, coined lies. The public are beginning to
get sick OF these personal efforts for particular
diates, and look more for great principles and lead
ing measures, calculated for the and for the day.
The recent independent Union movement at Wash
ngon, set on foot by some of the Southern wings,
commands more attention. and is worthy of more,
than all the intrgues for candidates either sds,
from " Dan to Beersheba."
