PEELED TO offer new bait 70 catch the

Notwithstanding our opponents have
agreed 10 present the land question as
the issue upon which to enter this springs
canvass in Virginia, there are so many
different opinions entertained by the vari,
Gus component parts Of that party as to
the manner of disposing of the lands,
that the heterogeneous mass can agree
upon nothing. The old Wings of the
party are in favor OF distributing the pro,
ceeds of the sales Of the lands, while Mr..
Garlic. and perhaps some other Demo.
cratic Know Nothings, think that would
be unconstitutional. and are in for dis
tributing the lands Themselves. But this
is measure so outrageous and impracti'
cable, that the committee TO whom the
question was referred in Congress. never
thought it worth while TO make q report
upon it.
A proposition was made before the
last Congress to distribute $40. ooo.,
900 of the surplus fund in the Uni
ted States treasury, but it was lost by &
large majority. Even Garlic himself ye
ted against it. How he reconcies The
inconsistency of opposing the distribution
of money, and fayoring the distribution o
the land bought with that money. we are
not informed. This new humbug OF oul
opponents is likely to prove more imprac
ticable than their dark lantern phantasy
The position Of the Democratic party
has ever been. that the public land
should be sscredly applied to the nationa
objects specified in the constitution. ant
that any distribution Of them among th,
States, is "alike inexpedient in polio,
aud repugnant to the Constitution
