Land Office Decision

The General Land Office has decided that
n number of persons forming themselves
into joint association cannot avail them
selves of the benefit Of the graduation act
by becoming settlers on public lands, not
for their individual benefit, but that of their
interest.
The ground for this decision is, that the
graduation act was intended for the benefit
of actual settlers and cultivators of the
soil only, and not for spectators, and that
the rights given by it are personal only and
for actual settlement already made or con-
tcmplated.

Who are Responsiblel

W. should like TO put this question per-
slually 10 all our democratic iricnds,-if
slavery goes into Kansas and Nebraska who
are to be held responsible Tor the act? Can
any one deny that thcrcp'Al OF the Missouri
compact removed the barrier against It's in
PRODUCTION into these territories, and then
following out our inquiries, can any one deny
tha; the democratic party was the dircc,
agent 20 repeating this time boBur,d r,s,ric.
ton. II this i, denied, no man in his senses
will pretend but that the sham democracy
now endorse the act as party.
The Republican party stands upon the
srcl; principles inausumtei by Jefferson in
the ordinance Of -, the prohibition Of
slavery in the territories; tue sham dcmoc-
racy take directly the opposite ground.
Which party is right? Now /, i, one Of the
plaincsi propositions In the world. tina, every
man. who, by his influence or vote, supports
the Administration, ais in favor Of the cx-
tension Of slavery into free territory. There
is no lodging the question. There are but
two great parties in this conn'ry-onc is a
party Tor freedom and the other for slavery.
The great aud iinal battle between these two
great antasonistic elements has begun -
freedom OF slavery is the issue, liberty or
bondag',-Republicanism or dcspotism are
IN the end % come or the yict0rs. They
that are not for freedom are against 1t. The
issue involves the very existence Of the Re-
