Perhaps from some such apprehensions the
wise old veteran democrats Of the House ofRep-
resentatives refused, some days ago, to give
the ten million project even a decent hearing.
How they would jump at it if some kind friend
would whisper in their ears that Gen. Pierce
would feel his hands strengthened with such
a testimonial of confidence from Congress! But,
alas! they are left to grope in the Oakland ten

might save the necessity Of an extra session of
Congress; but then the prospective pickings,

BENEFITS LAND BuL.-The Land bill Of Mr.
Bennett, of New York, which proposes to dis
tribute some siXty-tive millions Of acres Of pub
lie lands among the several States. (the share
of New York being five millions of acres0 still
hangs fire in the Senate They may, perhaps,
get at it this or some time next week but
we doubt whether all the log-rolling that can
be brought to bear upon it will save it from
being finally laid upon the table, or disposed of
in some parliamentary way, at least till the first
Monday in December next. The Western States
desire, and modestly claim, the whole Of the
public lands, and would very much like to have
them for railroad and other speculations on
large scale but the Eastern States have block
ed that game. In return, however. the West
have retalated on the East, and are dead
against general distribution, excepting the
wings who stick to it as the last plank OF their
original platform. Under this state Of things,
it is quite likely that the public domain will
escape both sets Of the Congressional laudjob
bers. This would be good thing but if there
is to be distribution, New York and every
other State is entitled to her share. Honesty
among thieves" is good old maxim.

States Senate the other day, between General
Cass and Judge Douglas, throws q food Of light
on the Monroe doctrine. Old America thinks
the resolution holding the British to their
"existing rights in Central America is about
stifi, because such a resolution does not, by any
means, contemplate the recognition ofany "ev-
istiug wrongs" But Young America Goes not

opinion What we want is specific resolution,
or some specific action, touching these late colo
NAL usurpations Of the British The resolution
of General Cass is good enough as far rs it
goes; but we should very much like to see the
