Cariile,s Land Bill.

The late american party" as the
Know Nothings falsely called them
selves. having proved a failure by the re.
fusal of larger number Of conscientious
Wings to go into it, than there were OF
Democrats who yielded to its embrace.
that party has now revived one Of the
old doctrines OF the Wing pnrty-the dis
tribution Of the public lands-for the pur
pose OF winning to its support all its old
adherents, in the hope that with this ad
dition TO to it's present strength. it will be
enabled to triumph over the Democratic
party. And 10 order TO win over the old
friends Of the measure, and at the same
time retain its recruits from the DemocrA
tic party, the present " opposition party
has been compelled to somewhat modify
the proposition. Henry Clay exhausted
his brilliant intellect upon the question
and advocated the distribution Of the
proceeds of the sales Of the public lands as
the best means Of attaining the Object
aimed at. AS might have been expected
from the limited capacity of the leaders
Of the present opposition party. their
amendment to Clay's project has been
any thing but an improve ment. They have
adopted the wors. position in which the
question could be presented-the " mon
ssrous proposition" Of dividing the lands
| themselves.
They hold out tie seductive induce.
ment Of placing $4,000 600 in our State
Treasury. which they say the reception o.
Virgiuia's SHARE" will accomplish. and
endeavOr 10 create the iden that this large
amount Of money is ready, and waiting tc
fall into the pocket of our State. the min
ute she will consent to receive it. Those
who know anything at all about the mat
ter. known this to be utterly and eEIir- j.
false. In the first place the distribution
Of the lands would produce no such sum
and the small amount that would be re
allied from them would be absorb By
! VIC ca PCHS0o ohNSbuAS AHcII SAFE uuu II
the next place the proposition is so rid
culous that it would not be entertained
one moment by either house Of Congress
The committee never even report Mr.
Carlile's bill in the last Congress, bad al
il was.
1t is difficult to understand why Thu
question in this monstrous shape
has been presented as the issue i.
this State alone. in the present can
vass. We can account for it only upor
the grounds that the party present
ing it had nothing better to offer. and
thinking the people would only look at il
with superficial view. would be capt.,
waited by the golden inducements present
ed. The party that has brought up from
the grave the long since settled question
Of distribution. has always depended up.
on humbugging the people. for success
1t has heretofore signally failed. and VIC
predict that the failure in this instance
will be the greatest OF them all.
