STATE PRINTING.-We have not received al
copy of Mr.. Colby's State printing bill, but
from what we can gather from our exchane es
in regard to it, we are inclined to the belief
that it is better calculated to pay off some
of the Broderick Journals, than to effect any
particular reform in this branch of the States
expenditures. Between two or more demo-
cratic papers, located at or near the Capital,
under ordinary circumstances, we should not
interfere; but when we see the friends of Mr..
Broderick in the Legislature, urging the cleo
ton of Mr.. Redding as State Printer, and
Mr.. Redding's paper vehemently urging the
election of Mr. Broderick to the u S, Senate,
it certainly develops motive stronger than
mere "party policy" on the part of the Jour
nal. Had it been only question of ''party
policy they were urging they would not have
refused to publish the views of those opposing
the elevation of Mr. Broderick They would
probably have pursued the very natural
course of giving both sides of the question,
and leaving it to the party to determine. But
they have bigger stake at issue than the ap-
proval of the Democratic party, and hence
the popular voice of the party must be over
borne. The Journal must have the State
printing, and in order that it may have it,
Mr.. Broderick must go to the U. S. Senate.
The liberties of the people must be usurped,
and our republican institutions trampled un-
der the feet of ambition, as Louis Napoleon
trampeled upon the republicanism of France,
before the time for the action Of the people
had arrived. 1t is to be regretted that per-
sons whose grovelling nature permits them to
enter into such combinations, have the means
to effect the disgrace which they have already
attached to State of California The usurpa-
tions of Louis Napoleon and Santa Anna,
do not exceed this in magnitude, and are
honorable in comparison with it, for it was
not long established usage they usurped--
it was not nation Of intellig gent freemen that
either insulted by the assumption of powers
belonging to the people; but weak, vascilla-
ting governments, that seven years perma-
nency under any system would benefit.
Thus far the legislature have been employed
on the work laid out for them by King David,
and his Kingship will not prorougc them until
they have completed his bidding.

The constitutional right to make these

their expediency depends upon the argument

Vas TO IT'S BEING TRUST PROPERTY
Again: it is objected to making this grant
that Government holds these lands in trust
and that it would impair the value of the
property, and therefore be in violation Of the
trust It would seem that this argument
might be we'll applied to grants for the ben
eft of mere railroad companies, or similar
grants, but not to this because, if Government
holds these lands in trust, it is for the benefit
OF all the States, ~ their common property,
and to be used and applied for their common
benefit. 1t is held for this purpose, and no
other and 30 far as il is thus applied, it is not
IN violation, but in the faithful execution, OF the
trust
Hcrc it IL asked to be applied for the benefit
OF the people of the United States--the real
oicaers-for public purpose, in which all are
interested, according to their Wishes and in .
just and equal manner.
II is submitted that the public lands can be
granted for the benefit Of all the States with
at least ms much propriety as they can be to a
part Of them-and that, too, to the exclusion
of the other States; or with as much proprie.y
for this purpose as it can be granted for the
benefit Of corporations, whether to build rail-
roads or for any other object.
Approving the object for which this grant is
asked, and the manner in which it is proposed
to be made--ior the equal benefit Of all the
States-the undersigned is in favor Of it, and
recommends the passage of the bill herewith
presented. HENRY BENNETT.
The undersigned, members Of the Committee
on Pablo Lands, are in favor of the bill for
the benefit Of the INDECENT insane, and consent
to have the same reported to the House, with
q recommendation that it do pass.

One additional feature in these railroad
grants should be noticed-that Of doubling
the price Of about one third rs much land as
is granted to the road, THAT ia, for six miles
each side Of the road, and granting fifteen
miles each side) Of which not ono-third, it is
believed, is ever sold at the increased price
This is wrong in principle, opposed to all
tho present course Of legislation, which is to
reduce the price Of the lands, and even 10 give
them away to actual settlers II was never
anything but an artful device to furnish an
argument and excuse for the grants, has been
Of little use, and cannot now be Of any. IL
should be abandoned altogether. II is tax
upon the settlers on the public lands for tho
benefit Of private companies and unwise and
unjust az a matter Of public policy.
Granite to roads may induce settlers to locate
near where they run but they do not appear
to have increased the aggregate amount Of
sales or settlements. II is immaterial whore
the purchases are made, If the amount is no
greater than before. Ii would seem to be
poor policy to give away nearly 1000 900
acres, to induce settlers to purchase 100000
