before him the great commanding men of Amer
lea. Every State exhibits to him two repre-
sentatiyes. Men whose names are as familiar
as household words, he now sees for the g t
time. Men whose speeches he has often read,
he now listens to for the first time. Each
speech forms an epoch in his life, and gives
theme for pleasant conversation in after times.
He sees before him the grave and dignihed
body which supplies the country with Presidents,
foreign ministers, and supreme judges. Some
of them are old, gray-haired, and feeble. They
were the contemporaries and peers of the giants
who have been gathered to their fathers. Some,
though they have outlived the period allotted
to the mass of mankind, are yet robust, healthy,
and active. Others are at the meridian of life,
enjoying alike their honors and their strength
with dignifed ease. There is also class that
one is almost surprised to see. 1t is composed
of young men, who by the force of extraordi-
nary genius, or merit ofsome sort, have accom-
plished in a few years what is SO rarely accom-
plished by many long years of patient study
and persevering effort.
His next visit is to the House of Represen-
tatiyes. He finds himself in one of the gal
leries, and before him are seated the two hun
dred and thirty-four popular representatives
from the thirty-one States, and the delegates
from all the Territories. Every district, almost
every neighborhood Of this vast republic has
here its chosen representative. The north, the
south, the east, tho west, all have their depu-
ties. Every class, every political school, every
interest, every pursuit has its representative.
Utah 1.-THE Mormon Territory and New Mexico
have their delegates. The first is represented
by a Mormon gentleman; the last by Mexican
gentleman, who is unacquainted with our Ian
guage. There is more of youth, and more Of
popular impulse here, than in the other branch
of Congress. This is a sort of preparatory
school for the Senate. Most of the senators
have at some period of life occupied seats in
the House Of Representatives, and many now
in that House are destined to fill honored places
in the Senate. Indeed, one well-known states
man, after thirty years service in the Sem
ate, has returned to fill seat in the popular
branch Of Congress.
tits here that the rising talent of the nation
is brought out and made known. He who makes
his mark here may look with confidence to any
success and advancement 1t is gratifying to
the lover Of liberty and of republican institu-
tons to think, as he surveys the many public
men to whom the people have entrusted the
powers of government, that none of them, not
one, was born to his position. They have all
been spontaneously chosen by the people.
The places they fill are open to ALTO the
poor as well as to the wealthy, to the humble
as well as to the exalted

doubt as TO whether the same principles stand
in the way bill which, whilst it dminishes the
aggregate quantity of the public LANDS, yet does
not diminish their aggregate value. 1t may be
contended, at least plausibly, that, whilst the
grant IN one case iswithout consideration, and is
therefore necessarily diminution of the COM
mon fund, in the other there's valuable consid-
erationforthe grant, and hence that the common
fund remains undiminished. How the Presi-
dent would decide such question we have no
knowledge, nor do we believe any one is au-
thorized to deduce from his message that he
had formed, or intended to express, any conclu
sion thereon. We repeat, that it is not just to
the President to strain his language for the
purpose of making deductions that may beused
outside of the particular measure on which it
was used. The measures pending before Con-
gress ought to be deliberated upon by Congress
with as much prudence as if no such message
had been sent to the Senate and when such
measures pass Congress, the President ought
to be as free to investigate and determine upon
them as if no insane bill had been vetoed by
him.
