But the great and muni6cent Mr.. George Pea
body has made reparation to the great men Of
the revolution and the American people, for his
neglect, by contributing one thousand dollars
to old General Washington--that is, to his
monument. Mr.. George Peabody, like mostmer
who are indebted for their position to money
thinks that money can accomplish anything
He is mistaken. 1t cannot make man an
honest patriot.
Mr.. George Peabody has made good be
ginning. At his next fourth of July dinner he
will no doubt altogether omit g Hail Columbia,
and Hthe Star Spangled Banner, ignore the
Declaration of independence, and cut the ac.
quaintance of the heroes and sages Of the revo
luton,
Now, if Mr.. George Peabody has had sense
enough to make princely fortune, he ought to
have sense enough to know that if he pretends
to be an American at all, he ought to be an
American on the fourth day of July; and if he
gives dinner in commemoration of that day,
he ought not to outrage his guests, insult his
country, and degrade himself by surrendering
to England the honors Of the occasion. Mr..
George Peabody ought to be either an Ameri-
can or an Englishman. He cannot be both.
On the whole, we think that Mr.. George
Peabody is humbug, and rather incline to the
opinion that his fourth Of July dinners viii not
in future be crowded by Americans. American
snobs, toadies, and funkies may attend them,
but American patriots would rather drink a
glass of cold water, in an unfurnished garret,
to the honor of that occasion, than drink Mi.
George Peabody's richest wines and feel that
in so doing they were meanly un-Americaniz-
ing themselves. But enough of the great Mr..
George Peabody!

public mind seems to be fixed upon making
some discrimination in favor Of the actual
settler; what discrimination and what price are
matters Of expediency, but the constitutional
question is certainly saved.
To sum up this whole matter in few words,
this bill does not regard the money value as
the primary consideration in disposing Of the
lands 1t charges money enough to secure a
substantial pecuniary consideration, but still il
looks more to the great moral and political ad-
vantages which it will secure. If we relieve
Congress Of subject of legislation which is
disturbing, troublesome, and dangerous, if we
can transfer from it to the States such matters
of policy as more Immediately concern them
selves and thus render the new States more in
dependent Of the action and patronage of the
general government; and if we can bring the
old and the new States more closely together
by removing sore cause Of difference and di-
vision, we shall secure moral and political ad-
vantages which will be worth far more to us
than all the money which could be wrung from
the lands.
AS State rights measure, we regard this
bill as Of transcendent importance.
