THE VETO


President Piecrce vet, message in relation
the grant of the public lads, 10 the extent
Of ten million "f acres. for the bcnr6, of the
ins me, win be generally read, veto messages
usullly ar. But how Mr. Pierce can reconcile

tions. and forbid il u benevolent purposes, on
constitutional grounds, we, fnr one, cannot
Understand What We have read Of the mes
age is all very fine, good talk, and moreover,
we believe the true doctrine, but the fact appears
alto gether liable, that the Prrst will en-
courage distribution ofthe public lanes al On 9
rich individuals, and fnfbid them 10 the poor
and helpless, preferin to aggrund'e cnrp"ra-
tons who never had shadow Of r.. ht To tar
possession Of these lands, rather than rermi' a
portion Of them In revert TO the States, who
really own them -[iron City Pi''sburg. m
II is not within our knowledge that President
Pierce has ever approved Bill granting lands
~ rich indiriduais" or :. corporations" The
Iron City" no doubt intends to be understood
tina, President Pierce would sanction Bill !oi
q railroad grant, and contrasting this fact with
hlm OF inconsistency.
As 10 his views upon railroad grants the
country is left 10 conjecture, as no Bill Of this
nature has as yet been presented for his sigma
ture.
But, conceding that he would approve such a
Bill, where is the parallel between the two
cases? For our lives we cannot discover. The
one is for purely local object and the other fol
an object national in its character; the one con-
templates an exercise Of police power in the
states and the other provides for the settl menl
and sale of the public domain.
1t is mistaken notion that grants Of the pub
lie lands for the construction Of railroads, are
donations to the West Although the govern
n.ent gives every alternate section within speci-
fled boundaries, for The construction of railroads
itexacts double the price for the remaining sec
lions, which yields 10 the government precisely
the same amount of revenue, as though the
whole was sold at 81 .25 per acre. This mode
IF disposing of the public lands has been tested
aud proved to be preferable to the old plan Of
waiting for settlements at 81 IS per acre. The
Wholesome experience which we gather FROM
the grant TO illinois, proves beyond the shadow
Of doubt, that this plan for disposing of the
public lands is the best that the government car
adopt. II facilitates the sale and settlement Of
the public domain and developes The resources
of the country much mere rapidly than the old
policy and this is an object of the greatest ma
tional importance.
The two cases contrasted by the "lron City
are as widely different, as light and darkness.

our city, which has long been contemplated, but
hitherto without success. The City Guards for
