Isl Nj Miller here read Nj Mclfses scheme for
Withdrawing an lands ia the territories from saia ior
tel, yesM and for distributing hind warrants for
s450, 900 90 acres eff land among the States. He
argued that though emigrants to The territories 4
could not, purchase land, they would nevertheless
go there ard and after possession Of years
would hight father than give up their possessions,
thus creating civil war. We were told that these
land warrants could be sold at 81 % per acre. This
would require mole specie than could be spared from
the business Of the country. The government, with
eighsor ten millions of acres in market at time can
scarcely get 81 ,25 per acre. What would be the ef
feet Of throwing $50 1000 900 acres into market at
onces He did not believe more than l24 cents an
acre could be got and out of that agents must be paid
and other expenses borne. If we held back our
in few years we would find all the lands worth
having taken up by warrants sold by others for
whatever they would bring. Nothing would be left
for US but deserts and barren wastes The disribu-
ton scheme for relieving the people from taxation
reminded him Of Mr. Shepards bill for the relief of
loan them money. but that they should not use that
money for the payment Of any debt or for the pur-
chase Of any article. Just so the warrants would
do Us no good if we kept Them and if we sold them
we would get amere nominal price for them. Mean.
time must be taxed to make up the deficit in the
Treasury. The governments in the territories where
no lands could be sold, must be maintained The
North would soon be telling US the tariff must be
raised.
Let us all 60 to work and prepare to pay our
taxes. Those who depend upon the public lands
deceive themselves. He did not believe Congress

the President was pledged to veto it.
TO his former political associates he would say
that there rock more immovable than he on
his position in regard to slavery and Mr. Buchanans
administration. They could not drive him from it
by taunts, by abuse, nor by threats. And if, said
he am right, and Mr.. Buchanan right are you
right? You call me renegade. Let me see if you
are not renegading some too Your support Mr..
McRae for Governor and he says he is a Democrat.
He was for Mr.. Buchanan in 1885, and as a good
Democrat he must say he will support him again in
1860, if a candidate. Here then you vote for man
for Governor, on the ground of distribution, who
votes for man for President pledged to veto distri.
button! Why, then, do you renegade? Do you
love Mr.. McRae? Do you love his Democracy?
No; the secret must out-you hate the Democratic
garty-you are for any thing to put them down.
You cannot weigh yourselves in the same balances
in which you weigh me, and call me spurious and
yourselves simon pures.
Mr.. M. alluded to the Wing American meeting in
St Marys district in which they resolved to support
Mr.. McRae regardless Of party. This was more than
he had done; he had held no meeting appointed no
chairman or secretary drafted no no.party resolu-
tons; but he had passed resolution in the secret
recesses Of his heart to support Mr.. Buchanan his
party, and his administration He respected those
who gave him credit for honesty, whether they ap
proved his course not but for those who imputed
base dishonorabe motives to him he had no quar-
ter, but regarded them with contempt, and they
might henceforth remember that if they gave blows
their blows could be returned.
But why hate the Democratic party? It HAD had
control Of the government nearly all the time since
1900; and no country had ever prospered as ours.
Why distrust it for the future when it has done so
well in the past? For his own part if it continued
in the position it occupied he should cling to it
until Gad took him hence.
If it be treason to party allegiance to stand firmly
and resolutely by who is sustaining our consti-
tutiona rights against the clamorous fanaticism Of
his own section,-f it be treason to party to sup.

for rights against fearful odds-f it be treason

South of more importance than mere party success
