sion of the quantity of land that the bill awards
him, and draw on the treasury for the money
to pay for it at the land Office, would not the
proposition be hooted at in Congress and ridi-
culed Throughout the country? Would any
man, not demented, dare to offer such a
proposition? Yet how, and in what, does it
differ in principle from the proposition to give
away the public lands to individual settlers?
We understand, as the remarks already sub
mitted show, the reasoning of the veto message
as directly hostile to the homestead bill; and
we trust that we have not misinterpreted that
reasoning If we have done so, we have erred
in company with all with whom we have con-
yersed on the subject. We have heard it stated
that there are some persons who think that the
remarks which the President submits with. re-
gard to those donations which the government
may make as prudent proprietor indicate that
he would sanction a homestead BILL We will
not believe for a moment that the President
ever entertained such empty reasoning. The
donations which prudent proprietor makes
are such as enhance the value and facili-
tate the sale of the lands he retains; but
donations of the character proposed by the
homestead bill would have the contrary eff
feet 1t would always be in operation; and
if the settlement occasioned by the home
stead bill enhanced the value of the govern
ment lands, the aprudent proprietor" would
receive no benefit. Other settlers would take
them up under the homestead bill without pay,
ing one cent for their original or their en-
HANGED value; for it is ridiculous to suppose
that any man will pay for land, no matter how
valuable it may be, when the law gives it to
him for nothing. The idea is simply ridicu-
lous, and they who believe that the President
will sanction the homestead bill on such silly
reasoning do but insult his intelligence.

BARNUM AND THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
The Crystal Palace, as everybody knows,
was dead 1t had become but great and gor-
geous glass case, in which the blighted hopes
of its projectors were contained, as curious little
animals are preserved from decay by doctors in
transparent vessels. But Barnum, the great
magician, touched it with his magic wand, and
it at once sprang up into active vitality, aston
ishing all by its miraculous resurrection from
the dead.
The re eopening Of the palace took place on
Thursday, the 4th instant, with grand flourish
Of trumpets. Thousands Of people visited it
in the course of the day. The railroad cars
the omnibuses, and other vehicles were engaged
the whole day in carrying heavy loads of pas
sengers to and from it. The ceremonies are
represented by the New York papers as being
quite imposing. Many speeches were made by
prominent men. We have room for but one
Barnum's. It's brief, but sparkling.
Mr.. Phineas 7. Barnum, President of the
Crystal Palace Association, then spoke as fol,
lows:
"FELIow-CITIzEYs: This is or congress of
peace. This is our popular coronation of la
Dor. We leave it to others to erect their mon
uments to the sword. Let them blazon in the
pages of history the fossil poetry of names,
written only in human blood, and crown with
laurel only the genius Of destruction. We have
a prouder and holier mission. Be it ours to
dedicate this temple to human industry-to
celebrate the peaceful victories Of toll and
skill--to place among the imperishable records
Of the earth this living eulogy of wiser age
and a Christian people. Ny friends, this is
eminently Christian as well as Crystal
Palace; for God himself was the first artihcer
He ennobled labor by his own original exam
pie; and in setting up this altar to universal
production, we have but made finite copy of
bis infinite work, and done it up in glass and
iron as gifthymn for worshipping humanity
Instead Of smoking battle-helds, we have the
furnace with its breath Of fire, moulding the
stubborn iron to its work of peace. The merry
ring of the anvil is our substitute for the roll
ing drum The gigantic steamengine supplies
us with creative thunder; while Gods own
lightning, snatched from its sunpath in the
sky, and harnessed to the car of trade, tele.
graphs our thoughts from pole 70 pole, and
speaks in every tongue the eloquent language
of industry.
Every age has its hero. We must have
ours. The past points TO its Bonaparte and
Wellington. The public debt of nations lives
to plead their claims to Immortality as benefac-
tors Of mankind. The present whispers in tbs
ear of fame the names Of Morse, Of Hoe, of Col
Inns and thsir compeers, and it riW syllable yet

MEETING OF CINCINsATI TAx-PAYKRs.
"A vast coneourse of the people Of
Cincinnati met at the Merchants Ex-
change, on Saturday evening, to con-
slider the tax question. Speeches were
made by Judge Walker. Henry Stan
berry, w. S. Groesbeck, and Charles
Anderson. We have not time to-day,
to give even the substance of these
speeches, but they sustained the object
of the meeting.
James Lupton made a report, accom-
panies with preamble and resolutions.
The preamble recites the conduct of the
Auditor of State in repudiating the law,
and instructing county Auditors to tax
all credits without deduction. After
denying his power to do this, the reso-
lutions conclude the report as follows:
Resolued, That we will pay no taxes
on personal properly assessed under the
late instructions of the State Auditor,
unless the said instructions are affirmed
and sustained by the highest tribunals
known to our laws.
RESOLVED, That in no spirit of factious
opposition, but-as law-loving and law
abiding citizens-for the peaceful test
ing of a great fundamental principle,
we again bind ourselves to stand by
each other on all necessary occasions,
and in case of distraintby officers of the
law, that we will purchase no property
so destrained and offered for sale, repu-
dating all who, under such circum-
stances, shall purchase, as thereafter un-
worthy our association and confidence;
and that. with an abiding faith in just
and true issue, we hereby reaffirm, in
every particular our Tax PLEDGE.
The preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted. Several promi-
nent persons of all parties were actors
in this important movement.
