THE HOMESTEAD BILL.

A correspondent writes to ns from Chemung,
Illinois, that the Hunkers the are trying to
raise u prejudice against Free Soilers by re
ferring to tho votes Of Messrs. Wade and
Smith in the House, against the Homestead
Bill, and to tho absence OF Mr. Giddings when
the vote was taken. Let the truth be fully
stated, and Land Relormers will acqut these
gentlemen of all hostility to the Homestead
policy.
They have uniformly acted in support of this
pelicy; and they supported the Homestead Bib
until, on motion Of negro-hating member, an
amendment was adopted, excluding colored
people, the most needy Of all classes, from its
benefits They resisted this amendment, but
when tho unjust discrimination it made was
incorporated in the Bill, they felt bound to vote
against that too. They did it with extreme
regret, but they felt as if they would be sane
tioning n wanton and wicked discrimination
had they done otherwise. Land Reiormers
may differ from them on this point, but they
will appreciate tho motive that dictated such
conduct.
We again would call attention to the fact
that the Bill not only excludes colored people
from its benefits, but all foreigners who may
arrive in the country after the date of its pas
sage, until the expiration Of five years from
tho time of their making oath Of their inten-
ton to become citizens. We hope to see these
mean, illiberal provisions Of the Bill stricken

REPESTAScE!-When Senator Badger, q few
days ago, presented petition from citizens Of
North Carolina against the Nebraska bill, he
intimated supposition that they had changed
their views since he had spoken for them in
the Senate! II is believed by not a few that
Mr.. Badger, Mr.. Pcarce Of Maryland, and
others, changed their opinions, or varied from
their intended course Of action, during the 20
riod Of its consideration in the Senate, and
probably from tho same causes that affected
tho vcrtcbrm Of Mcssrs Clayton and Everett.
When they seyerally next appear before the
People Of their respective States another
change may possibly come over the spirit Of
their dream,n such as is indicated in tho fol-
lowing extract;
IL is known that certain resolutions were
recently passed by a minority of the Illinois
Legislature, endorsing the Nebraska bill. Ex-
Governor Reynolds, Democrat Of influence,
and Speaker Of the House, was one of the
members who voted for them. Since the ad-
journment he has been among his constituents,
and has already learned the wisdom of repent
ance. A meeting was recently held in Belle
vile, in Southern illinois, his place of residence,
to consider the Pacific Railroad question. The
ADVOCATE says that the discussion branched off
TO Nebraska and in the course Of his speech
sour venerable townsman, Governor Reynolds,
denounced the bill OF Mr.. Douglas AZ wrong,
uncaled for, and contrary to the wishes Of the
American People He acknowledged his own
in voting for Instructions in its favor, and
tho error Of the Legislature in passing them, as
q misrepresentation Of the popular will This
frank avowal drew down the applause Of the
House - Dfillca,ikie Sentinel
