course, the exploded measure advocated in former
days by Mr.. Clay, under the form of distribution
of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, is
now revived in different guise-that of dstribu
ton of the lands themselves. Mr.. Clay wanted the
interest the distrbutionists of the present time want

The Compromise of 1850 is endorsed by the 3rd
Resolution but not word is said, reference made

necessary to give permanent and practical value to
that settlement. The 4th and 5th Resolutions are

in name and such will be found to be, should the
Wing party gain the ascendancy. Such is the pro-

ocas will be called upon to put their best leg fore
most. The coming election is very important one,
the most for years. Our opponents are as we'll
aware of this as we can be- and will leave stone
unturned that may assist them to regain their supre-
