arc the first who go TO visit that wild region in whose

make will induce others to emulate their daring enterprise
and thus hasten the period when that isolated portion

TO abandon country that does Mtsty all their hopss

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Hunter intro
duced a bill to graduate the price Of the public
lands and q bill to sell certain portions of the
public lands to the States in which they lie
for the purpose Of constructing railroads and
canals. A joint resolution, explanatory of the
law regulating the appointment Of cadets to
West Point, was debated and then referred.
A bill to regulate (increase) the pay and pro.
mote the efficiency of the army and for other
purposes, was debated and then postponed. A
greater portion of the day was spent in execu-
tive session.
In the House of Representatives, after re-
ports had been made from the Committee on
Public Lands, Mr.. Richardson moved that the
House resolve itself into Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, with view
of reaching the bill heretofore reported by him
organizing the territorial governments of Ne
braska and Kansas. This motion was dis
agreed to. The House then proceeded to dis.
pose of the business on the Speakers table.
The Senate Nebraska and Kansas bill having
been read by its title, Mr.. Richardson moved
that it be referred to the Committee on Terri
tories, bat, contrary to the wishes of many,
it was referred to the Committee of the Whole
on the state Of the Union--yeas Ito, nays 95.

usual acrimony. Infamed by opposition, and
ambitious to exert control, it at length, and
time after time, denounced those who differed
from its views, ms refractory destructives and dis
organizers. 1t accused all such, and We were
of the number, of disregarding party ties and
ieoparding the success of democratic princi
Piles. 1t laid down its test with great earnest
ness and impressive solemnity.
But now, when great measure involving
the dearest principles Of the democratic party
is presented to the country, when the executive
is deeply solicitous for its success, and when
the leading statesmen Of our party arc every
where in favor of it, instead of being steady,
raight-forward, and decided, it fiirts with it
in the most tormenting manner imaginable.
II makes It a 6 test of democratic orthodoxy .
one day, and unmakes it the next. 1t shuffles
and changes with Protean versatility. 1t most
sadly perplexes its readers. They do not know
how to interpret its uncertain utterings.
1t seems TO us that this subject is too serious
to be trifed with. 1t is also beneath the dig
nifty Of a grave and serious journal, like the
Washington Union, to coeuet SO cruelty with it.
We already see some of the melancholy re,
suits Of its unsteady and inconsistent course.
We much fear that such results viii greatly
multiply unless that course is changed.
