Mr.. BUCHANAN AND THE WESTERN PIONEERS.
In CHANGING eye the speeches made by Mr. Bu-
chansn in Congress- have been highly graed to fnd
that be has placed record just and truthful appre
citation Of the metoous character Of the western po-
lie delivered speech in 1880 in the Senate on
the proposition graduate the price Of the public lands
TO actual settlers in which he made the following re-
marks:
He could not help congraulatng the country and the
Senate that the Enstor from Kentucky had just expressed
bis concurrence opinion with tie ustrioes individual
the Hermitage ia regard to the propriety Of selling small
the public land actual settlers reduced prices
When two such high authorities united be supposed the
question might almost be considered settled. The en-
emes had met In favor Of this principle and In his opinion
WISER more just polite principle in regard TO the
disposition Of the public lands could not be established
vided confined within safe aud proper limits From
his very first into public life up TIL the present
he had entertained the opinion that the who
first into the wilderness and eled the forest ought to
be regarded with peculiar favor. Such Who by the
OF his brow had provided home for himself and his
family would up children endowed with the frank and
manly virtues which tho ERNEST support OF republican
institutions Whilst encouraging such actual settlers
acting in the best 70 proote interest dc
propretors of the public land Every Improvement made by
an actual settler added value to all the SURROUNDING lands and
enabled the sell them the speedily at the
standard price,
Peculiar reasons now existed why we should encourage
the settlement of the country the extreme western limits
Of the States and territory beyond the Mississippi had
been policy all the Indians from the States and
settle them Immediately beyond western frontier
There these wake restless and discontinued snyages
brought together in great numbers Now, what stronger
barrier could raise against their hostile ncursons than to
people this frontier with bold and hardy Of actual
settlers accustomed to the tolls and pers of the remote
wilderness? Such population might preyent war and II
war should come would the eson Of much human
blood and millions of money, in conducting it, The wisest
Of antiquity had always acted upon the prnc
pc 1t the policy Of the Romans to send military colo
their frontiers to be barrier against the ncuron of
