Resolved, That we the citizens Of Leesburgh
and vicinity, in the county of Carroll, and

IL prohibited forever therein.
Resolved, That each member Of Congress who
votes for or in any way gives conntenance to
the passage Of the bill for the organization OF
the Nebraska Territory, a. reported by Doug
las, OF Illinois, is traitor to his country, TO
Freedom, and 10 God, worthy only of everlast-
ing infamy.

ing be forwarded to Salmon p. Chase Of the
senate, and Joshua X. Giddings, OF the House
of Representatives, TO be by them presented to
the bodies Of which they are respectively men,

The greater the distance they run from the
fountain head !,
The territorial aristocracy, not content with
the property qualification OF members and the
Septennial act determined to have tho armed
force OF the country completely at their dis
nasal. they therefore in the reign OF George
withdrew the cognzance OF military offences
from the civil magistrate and vested 1t IN the
officers by martial law, because the officers be-
loneed to their own class, and as commissions
were not accorded to merit, but made an OBJ
jest Of purchase or patronage, plebeians were
ff,ctively excluded from command.
On motion made in the House OF Com
mons to reduce the army, Mr., Pulteney said
4 have always been sir, and always shall be,
against q standing army of any kind; TO me
|. il a terrible thing whether under that OF
parliamentary or any other designation;
standing army is still q standing army, what
over name il be called by; they are body of
men distinct from tho body of the people;
they ARE governed by different laws, and blind
obedience and m entire submission to the or
ders OF their commanding ,iiicer, is their only
principle The nations around us arc already
snslayed by those very means; by means OF
their standing armies, they have every one lost
their liberties. Ii IL, indeed, impossible that

he the sure consequence OF the least grum-
bling"
Onc other POINT must here be noticed. The
aristocracy were still unsatiefied with their
numerous and successful usnrpatons. They
had reduced the royal prerogativc almost to q
nero seal &C ctIice, and deprived the people Of
most Of their old political rights In fact, they
ruled absolutely, and determined on making
tho attempt to consolidate their privileged or
der, by preventing the King from adding to the
peerage. Their object was to create GOLDEN
BOOK, NJ ut Venice This scheme failed, as it
reused the jealousy Of all the landowners who
hoped to wear coronet; but the attempt
shows the graspng character Of their ambi-
ton. They had ceased to be patriots All
their acts were prompted by selfshness. They
nominated 10 all offices of emolument and
honor. The lowest appointments in the GUS
toms and excise were ut their disposal. They
nominated to church livings and created Bish-
ops They ruled the House OF Commons by
rotten boroughs. Their relatives were quar-
tered in the army and navy. In word Eng
land Mt this epoch was an Oligarchy. Bot
frcm this eliminating point it was descended

THE HOMESTEAD BILL AND THE SOUTH

Under the sway Of wild and rampant
Democracy, such as holds annually its frantic
and disgusting revels in the halls of Congress,
the public lands are disappearing like frost be-
fore the morning sunlight. In fact, Agrarian-
ism, in its foulest form, is beginning to rear its
hideous front and breathe its pestilent doc
trinca; and modern Democracy, ever prone to
pay it's worship to the false and the foolish, is
ready to take it to its warm embrace and hold
it up to its admiring followers, as a new and
beautiful addition to its political creed. Pro-
gress we know, is the order of the day. but
from such progress, good Lord deliver us.
"There is one proposition connected with the
disposition of the public lands which ought to
strike every patriotic mind with alarm and
horror, and which should make the policy Of
a general distribution among all the States a
cardinal tenet in the faith Of all parties actu-
ated by an honest desire to promote the pub
lie good and preserve the public morals. We
refer, of course, to that vile and iniqnitous
scheme of public plumber known as the Home
stead bill, which proposes to make one grand,
universal grab, and give away the whole Of the
public lands to idlers and Migrants at single
dash The gross injustice, the folly, the i'm
moral tendency Of this measure, is altogether
uneqnalled. There is nothing like it in the
whole history of American legislation IL finds
its parallel only among the Agrarian enorm-
ties Of ancient Rome. Just look at this scheme
in all its naked and hideous detormity. 1t pro-
poses to confer the whole of the public domain
grafuiiously, upon those who may think prop
er to settle upon and cultivate the land for the
space Of five years. '--Riehmend (Va) Wing.
Well, Virginia is one Of the last States to
take umbrage at such policy. Does tho
Wing know that the natives Of that State,
living in the new States and Territories in $780,
amounted to nearly one half of her entire
white population residing at homo? As vir-
ginia sends off so many Of her children, she
ought to be grateful for policy which pro-
poses to secure them comfortable and indie
pendent homes.
As for hgrdrianism, there is nothing very
terrible in it when properly understood. The
policy Of the Gracchi was to dispoesess the
large landholdcrs and shareholders Of the pub
lie domain Of Rome, which, in violation of law
they had nsurpcd, and to restore it to the Peo-
pie, 10 as TO encourage free labor, and multi
ply the number Of small and independent cul-
tiyators. That wise and noble policy was
agrarianism ! and il is recommendation to
the Homestead policy, that it is founded upon
the Same principle and pervaded by the same
regard for the rights and interests Of the
masses.

to legislate upon the subject which, under the
Constitution is left to the States themselves; and
everywhere throughout the section to which it
Is intended more particularly to apply, it is re-
garded with detestation, for its indecent, reck-

When Southern States repeal their laws
violating the rights Of Northern citizens, as
secured by the Federal Constitution, and when
public sentiment in them shall cease to uphold
poetmasters in refusing to deliver to subscribers
newspapers which they may deem obnoxious
or in surrendering such papers to the mob to
be burned. it will be time enough for the
Southern People to be shocked atthe want Of
loyalty manifested by Northern citizens in
their opposition to the enforcement OF a cruel,
tyrannical, and an unconstitutional act.
