capital upon which to trade.
Since the payment of the national debt.
the public lands have been, more or less,
the subject of Congressional Legislation.
and schemes for its disposition have often
been consummated, and in manner which
has not much advanced the public good
But latterl y projects have been started, and
have found friends in the halls of Congress,
which, for the magnitude of the schemes,
have no parallel in previous legislation, and
which should at once excite Just solicitude
among the people and the States, as TO their

The public domain is an inheritance be-

QFsThe following is worth thinking about
The safest speculation a man can 60 into now is
TO ran his debts not to make debts.
DASGERs AHEAD Every man of ordinary
observation must have noticed the alarming iu-
crease Of new banks all over this broad Union
Of States within the past year. There IS danger
ahead. And 1t becomes wise men to look the
evil full in the face Under the general bank
ing law of the State of New-York, any person
who is in possession of state stocks or bonds and
mortgages on real estate, can open bank and
issue bills. Many of the other States Of the u
Mon allow the issue of bills on basis less Sc
cure ihan this. Not only state stocks, bonds
and mortgages on real estate, but railroad stocks,
the stocks Of various incorporated companies.
etc. are taken as a basis for banking. The CON
sequence of this is TO enhance the price Of these
kinds Of security far beyond their actual value
simply because they can be used a basis Tor
banking purposes. Now, it requires no extra
ordinary foresight 20 see what will be the event.
ual result of this state of things. A genera
crash must come sooner or later, that will IN
vove the whole country in the general disaster
Prices of real estate imaginary village lots, a.
pocrypal stocks, and all sorts o! Specializing unc
tons, are now up to the highest point. But the
whole rests on fictitious basis that is liable to
explode at any moment. Another evil effect o
this unhealthy increase Of prices, Is 10 dram the
country OF is precious metals TO pay for the goods
we bav from abroad leaving our banks worse
and worse of every year. These facts should
warn the people of this country 10 pause in then
mad career Of speculation that r~lw Threatens tC
