by Mr.. Fillmore himself their great champion and
Leader. How beautiful is K. N. consistency! ~
In fact all the public lands ever donated to rail.
roads given to soldiers is no more in comparison
with the whole quantity of public lands, than
gallon of water dipped from the Mississippi river.
But according to Senator Bell, of Tennessee, big
gun of K. N. American Wing Distributionists this
evil is not to be cured by distribution. Indeed he
does not term it evil. He does not consider it
waste to give away public lands for railroads. canals
&c. Here he stands with Mr.. Fillmore, and both
stand in direct opposition to North Carolina dstri
butionists Mr.. Bell, in speech advocating distri
button, says:
II wish further to State that it will be found in
the provisions ofths BILL that no change proposed
in the policy of this Government in making liberal
grants Of public lands to the States in sohich the
public domain Hes for the purpose Of aiding in the
construction Of railroads and canals. leooe that
altogether untouched-I leare that policy to operate
as heretofore, however beneficial it may be to these
States beyond anything enjoyed by the other States
1.-The measure which propose does not initiate
against the policy of granting lands for railroads in
the new States. haze farored that policy hen etc.
FORE for reasons connected scih the public interest,"
and do not propose to interfere Nth it in brin3ing
foraoard this BILL l know that the time is unpropi
tous to the success of such measure, and do not
feel confident that the time aciW erer be in this coun
try.
II repeat that this bill does not interfere soith
or initiate against. the liberal policy heretofore pur-
sued by Congress- in making donations or grants of
public lands for the construction of railroads in the
neao States 1t IS a measure to achich in ma opinion
no representatives. Of the States ought to feel any
hostility"
How do our North Carolina dstributionists like
that? Senator Bell is bell.wether among them
How do they like him? Do they stand with him
and Mr.. Fillmore, or do they stand off?
Who cannot see that the distribution cry is all
humbug just as the abolition cry of Black Repub-
icans is all humbug? In North Carolina they tell
us distribution is to stop the squandering of the
public lands railroads; Mr.. Bell SAYS it is not to
, do any such thing, and surely Mr.. Bell is high
priest in the culverts Of X. N American Wing Dis
tributionism, and surely, also, Mr.. Fillmore, the
very Aaron of that faction, rings the same sound
with Mr. Bell. Who is rght2 Our opinion is, all
wrong We stand to the old Democratic doc
trne-let the proceeds of the sales of public lands
go into the treasury to defay the expenses Of the
general government, and to that extent relieve the
people from taxation. This is the true ground and
Democracy can stand on other.

been swallowed by children, and in which great irr.
tation of the stomach and bowels has followed, be.
of the corrosive nature of the metals compos-

too much SENSE to give the coin to the juveniles

in the manner above described. But yet it does no
harm to call attention to the subject.

and they will continue to ornament your grounds

appearing, and can rarely be heard now, save as it
chafcs and fets its life out against the bars of an
nhuman cage, its first chirps give note that it
is being hurried off to noisome city, there the
more rapidly to end its days. Let them all alone
But above all, let the nests alone. We call upon the
ladies to let the ererminators of these birds alone
Afford them no market for their piage, and they
will soon let the birds alone. And we appeal to
the boys to stand up for the rights Of the birds.
Don't shoot them, " chunk " them, nor rob them
of their young. We know you like to shoot and
chunk" but if you needs must do so, then
"chunk" those who destroy the birds-who are
neither an ornament nor use to anyb ody-and we
don't care much if you shoot them, so that you
make them let the birds alone. Effect this and you
will have our thanks, and your grounds and gar.

Union loving as the K. Ms. profess to be, this
is rather Singular for it must be evident to every

Union, it will not be saved at all. In whom do the
K. Ms put their trust? Surely not IN the Black
Republicans; and most assuredy not in themselves,
