LAND FOR THE LANDLESs.

a. The subject of "Hom stead Law has
been so long discussed among the people,
that it is no longer possible for politicians to
dodge or delay the final issue. Ii has en-
tered toe hearts of the people, aud in some
form am ready to inscrbe il in letters Of
gold on the Republican banner. God made
land, and water, and air, and light, and heat,
for mans subssEnce; and le should not
be required to buy orl beg these elements
that ale essential 10 his existence. The
Gernanic races, from which we decended,
held the land in commons, to he parcelhed out
to those who would use them. We are told,
',the ultimate property or domianm EeruR
Of the land was vested in the tribe, and that
the portions dealt out to individuals returned
to the public, after they had reaped the fruits
Of them" But the feudal system entirely
reyolutionized the civh policy of nations, and
lands were parcelled out to military chief
tains, who held their yassals as tenants and
slaves. For az 5 husbandry has been fet-
tered by these Norman shackles. which were
transmitted with many notifications to our
American Colonies. Gradually the lands
have been S slb-divided, till most farmers own
their own domicils but millions still strug-
gle and starve in dcstitution, because they
have not the ground to plow and plant and
produce the fruits Of the earth necessary for
their subsistence. Many suppose our public
land system furnishes, under our preemp-
ton laws, convenient access to home in
the West. Some have profitcd by pre-emp-
tons, but in general these provisions are
inaccessible to the poor. Spectators go
beyond the settlements; and beyond this
belt owned by spectators, poor man can,
not subsist his family during the time Of
settlement and Rising first crop The
