annlics with as u,uch t,,rr in one instance - the
oiher What is the General Government but
the agent of the States Of The Union! With
whose money has territory been purchased, if
not with the money of the States! BY whom
has the conquest of territory been made, If not
by the brave hearts and sturdy arms Of the cili-
zcns of all the States! Why, then, 4 difference
of tenure. or Il more unlimited power by the
General Government over territory bought or
conquered! Where can you better repair for
instructions as to the powers of Congress over
the public lands, acquired in any manner, tlran
to the deeds of ccssion, made at or about the
time of the adoption of the Constitution, or 10
him who, above all others, VIC may regard rs its
father? Now, sir, the only plausible argument
j say plausible, because it is more spccious
tban correct. which has ever been addnccd in
support CT the consti,uionay of the acts Of
Cnnrrrcss. whereby 4 part of the common terri
tory which this Government as a trustee. holds,
/" for the common benefit of all the States" has
been Given TO individual States, or 10 incorpo-
rated companions, is, that the reserved actions,
at the price 81 30 per acre, VIII bring rs much
money into the common Treasury, AMI at an
earlier day, under the impulse of enterprise thus

fostcrcd rs if the whole were sold at s. % per
acre. Even if this was the fact, cannot per-

The argument is based on the assumption that
the General Government is the proprietor Of the
public lands and That in the character of Il prIl-
dent proprietor, has the right and ilIat it is its
duv Ia adopt any measure in regard ia its
donmin which will Facilitate the sale "l ITS sur

Total for twelve years. .:;:......:.l9, $500


The habit OF donating alternate sections OF
land for railroad purposes was contracted,
believe, in 1916 yet there WAS less land sold in
twelve years, from 1871 to 1852 inclusive, than
under the old conservative labit in lie single
Year 1856. When alternative sections of land
are donated, it is the stereetypcd language Of
the bills that the reserved sections shall be held
at double price, which leaves the impression on
the public mind that with the difference of the
odd section, there is an-e1ua number OF sections
reserved and grated, aud that, the half being
sold at the price Of the whole, nothing is lost TO
the Treasury. Such, however. is not always
the fact; for private entries arc informally re-
sncclcd and when they fall within the line TO
which the rights fihe donees in the first i'll
stance extend ::thcn authority is given 10 the
donccs to 90 still further, 10 the right OF left,
and take another amount OF land equal TO the
amount taken by private entries, though such
private entries were made ut the Government
price, Of $l.25 per acre. | quote from the act
10 apply certain alternate sections of the public
domailrNtdwards thei completion Of works Of
tcrraFimprovementin the State Of Michigan,
the following clause
"And as some of tic sections, and parts of
sections, within the limits aforesaid, have been
heretofore sold or otherwise disposed of or
cncumbcred, so that they cannot be so applied,
il is furthermore enacted that quantity of land
equal to that sold, or otherwise disposed Of or
encountered, shall be selected by said agent,
under the direction Of the Secretary OF the Trea-
<ury, from The public lands, near the site Of said
rai.r.rld, on either side thereof"
This fact explains why it is that, willie the
Illinois Central Railroad received 3,75l.7ll acres
there was reserved at double price but ,6I9,4Gl
acres, which is 223.9Sl acres less than half the
number donated by the Government. The re-
served sections were Offered for sale in July,
1852, and on the 3Ottgof September, 1853, there
had been sold in GlliLois, at tho double price,
(4.5O.) but 2S4,050 acres.
The practice of donating alternate sections
of land, particularly in the States, is not only
unequal and unjust, and therefore unwise, but
is generally injurious TO the Treasury. The
recipients Of the donated sections are thrown

We are eratifed to learn from friend, who was
present that the best feeling seemed to animate all
interested in this great work. and that the general
desire seemed to be, to have the most suitable
place selected for the Eastern terminus. Many OF
the Stockholders had decided preferences az to the
terminus, but these they were willing to waive to
secure the most direct route the safest harbor and
the deepest water With such feelings it seems to
the work must progress harmoniously, when aselec-
ton of the terminus shall have been made; and that
all that portion of Virginia heretofore entirely cut
off from Richmond, will reap advantages by this
important public improvement. Where the public
good is the general aim of all, it will be difficult
indeed to destroy the blessings which this work Is
to confer.
