FRUITS OF JACKSONISM =.

FRUITS OF JACkSONlSM.
There are those living who followed General
Jackson througi, all his crusades against the dis
tribution of public lands to whom the following
extracts from the Washington correspondence OF
the Baltimore Sun may be particularly interest
ing and we therefore commend them to their
serious consideration altogether worthy of
their deliberate reflection
THE great Central Illinois Railroad Company
appear to be in full tide of practical success The
grant of public land transferred to them will build
the road for the whole distance of 7lO miles,
and the stockholders will own the road without
paying cent for their stock. 1t is donation to
them from he Government of seventeen millions
of dollars-the estimated cost of the road-for
their personal benefit. The land is already esti-
mated to be worth that sum- and the loans for car
rying on the work are based upon the value of
those lands at that rate Loans to the amount of
some seven or eight millions have already been
effected, and new loan of three millions has
now been called for, aud will be readily filled.
The stockholders of the Southwestern branch
of the Missouri and Pacific Railroad Company
will never be obliged to pay one dollar for that
road of $40 miles in length. The lands granted
| to the State by the Government during the late
session were transferred by the State to the
company, and they will sell for enough to build
the road. A loan will be soon proposed for the
pu rpose of completing this road, and it will be
based in great measure on the value Of the
bonds. All these Western railroads will uu.
doubtedly give dividends of ten per cent. their
cost, and besides are made at the expense of the
public treasury"
1t was objected to the land distribution system
by General Jackson and his partisans that it would
corrupt the States and therefore they arrested it,
Now the lands are made by Democratic Con-
gress, which boasts its devotion to Jacksonism,
the fruitful source of profit to the railroad stock
holders and land SPECTATORS while the old States
to whom the territory originally belonged, are
entirely cut off from all participation in the pro.
ceeds of their sales.
The truth of history is therefore but develop
ing aud fulfllirg the prophecies of the iustrioua
Clay and his distinguished compatrots, who ad.
vocated the distribution among all the States
while yet the old States had the power to control
the matter. Their counsels were disregarded,
the system repudiated, and we are now
gathering the fruits of Jacksonsm. Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle.

~ The Richmond Fire Assocaton-one of
the most efficient and best managed institutions of
the kind in this country-receutly petitioned the
City Council for appropriation Of $500. to
enable the institution to provide new hose. The
petition was referred to the Finance Committee,
with the understanding that said committee
would enquire into the propriety of granting the
prayer of the petitioners. We are surprised to
learn that some doubt exists as to the disposition
of the committee. Indeed, it is fear ed that they
are if not nimical to the prayer of the petition.
at least indisposed to recomme end the propriety of
grating the whole amount asked for by the Asso-
citation. We presume. however, no doubt exists
rs to the disposition of the Council The city
grants the Association an annual appropri-
alton of $2500-it also undertakes to max al
nsedful repairs to tho engine houses but as
these rarely exceed 500 per annum. the
whole annual appropriation may be- safely put
down at S2600-an inconsiderable sum, when

FROM AFRICA-THE SLAVE TRADE.


The Salem Register has accounts, via ST. He
lena, from St. Paul de Sando and Benzuea, to
April 9th. There had been no recent captures
of slavers.
Capt. Wimot, of the British steamer Harle-
quin, had been at work endeavoring to persuade
the various African cniefs to make treaties for
the further suppression of the slave trade, and
bad induced the KinsSgof Kabenda, one of the
most obstinate, to sign treaty.
A letter from Zanzibar in the Register states
that several months ago, the American brig Ca
margo was reported as having sailed from the
Cape of Good Hope for Zanzibar. Up to the
5th March nosuch brig had been seen, but q
SLAYER of that name had succeeded in running
off with two cafgoes of slaves and the English
cruisers were on the look out for her.
The U. S. brig Perry. Capt Page, sailed
from St. Helena, for Monroyia, Africa on the
god of April. Henry Williams, one of the crew.
aged 20 years, died on the 10th. Three of the
sailors had attempted to make their escape, but
were recaptured.
