The abovewe clip from the late veto message OF
President Pierce to The bill appropriating public
lands for tie benefit OF The md gent insane. II IS
sound principle, and one we Should like 10 see
recognized always as to the public lands. But how
doesit accord with the practies or the Democratic
party and their leaders2 Do they act under il and
live up IT. or do they bend their prineip to suit

Il IS plain thai the resident here means that
donations OF lands for internal improvements
through the public domain, which will enhance
the value OF the residue, are constitutional and
proper Now suppose the same parry were asked

The President then hns proved conciusiyely that

cy any one can seethat the appropriation Of money
is preferable in view OF the ..proftable manage

of lands. Forsnppose alternate sections be sp-
pIoprated, then the value Of the remaining sec
tions must be doubled in order to leave the gov

money of these alternate sections be
