Franklin Pierce on the Sd inst, senta mes

age sent 70 Congress BY George Wishing
ton, John Adams. Thomas Jefferson or
James Madison, ToRDIDDIK0 Congress TO
pass a law appropriating a portion Of the
public lands to the several States, for the
benefit of the INDECENT insane Inhabitants of
said States. The measure has occupied
the attention Of Congress for more than two
years past, and passed the House of Repre-
sentatives a year ago by a very decided
majority, and would doubtless have passed
the Senate likewise, could it have been
reached before the close Of Congress. 1t
wasagain broughtforward at the commence
ment of the present Congress, and passed
the House by a vote which would place
it beyond the reach of the royal veto, go
far as that house is concerned; it having
already passed the Senate. Andnow comes

eve confess to an utter inability to
comprehend the reason for such a veto, and
we do not give the Executive credit for
any regard for the landed property of the
country more than is felt by every intelli-
gent citizen who has advocated this appro-
p%riation of land. This land is thrown
away by millions of acres, sometimes upon
individuals, and sometimes upon corpora
tons, sometimes in whole townships and
sometimes in alternate sections. The con-
sti~tutionality of such grants were general
ly acquiesced in until Mr.. Polkunderstood
that it was not lawful to take the public
lands to pay a public debt, and until now,
Mr.. Pierce understands that it is against
the Constitution to make such grants, even
for giving shelter and a home to the unfor-
tunate insane. born or living in our midst.
Such appropriations are made from the fed
eral Treasury for the support of the insane
of the District of Columbia, and if we
should carry out the parallel in regard to
other expenditures, we could make it bear
directly upon this veto of the lost bill which
has met with the favorable consideration Of
the present Congress-"
