[Anti-Lecomplon Democrats lin Italics)s; Amer
leans, Z; Lecompton Democrats, IS not one Re-
publican, Heaven be prased!
SO, as will be perceived, the bill as it
stood amended by the adoption of Mr.. Crows
ten years credit proposition, was killed dead
by the Democracy with the bare majority of
four votes only! Isn't it too bad? But, we
are still not without hope: and we earnestly
join with the Tribune in trusting that this is
not the last of Mr.. Crows most benificent
and just proposition, but that, the House hav-
ing affirmed that it is right, it will be moved
again and again, in Senate and House, until it
shall be fastened to some bill that no majority
will venture to sacrifice"
But, in the meantime, while waiting and
hoping for the resurrection of this bill, we
would direct the attention of every man in
Minnesota, poor and rich, to the immense 6ene-
fits which would have flooded in upon us, had
the Democratic party permitted its adoption.
With the prospect it presented to men who
became Actual Settlers upon the Public
Lands, that no land sales would be allowed
for ten years after the Surveys-with the
tempting offer of credit to every pre- emp
tor of ten years, in which to pay up his 81, 20
per acre-in which period he could easily
have made the whole price by cultivating the
land, and so be entirely independent Of the
| wolEike mercies of the three and five per
cent a month harpies who speculate upon poor
mems necessities on the eve of every land
sale-with those bats to immigration Mime
sofa would inevitably, in the very next year,
have beheld grand and Overwhelming rush
of the hardest and most industrious kind of
a population: rushing in upon US in eager
search Of homes upon our fertile plains,
speedily making every part of our wilderness
to blossom with prosperity.
But no-no-this state of things wouldn't
suit our modern Democracy as Psrty; for
it wouldn't suit the South which now controls
imperiously the policy of the whole Demo
cratic organization, to be thus contributing to
Immediately populating and forthwith aggran-
dising one or more of the Free States Of the
North! And this is the reason, that, while
erery REPUBLICAN present (sD vote FOR IT,
and only seven Democrats there were eigh-
ty-eight DEMOCRATIC members of Congress
who voted in solid column against it, in COM
pany with seven Southern Know Nothings!
American Working-men and Farmers
Germans! Swedes Norwegians Free
Laborers of every nation! Lock and ponder
upon the foregoing facts. Do they not prove
to be true, that which WV. H. SEWARD, the
Great Statesman of New York, recently said
in his Rochester speech, that The very con-
stitution Of the Democratic Party, nowadays,
commits it to execute all the designs Of the
Shareholders whatever they may be-"
And look, all of you, upon this other fact,
that this same Democratic Party, in Congress
have just agreed to take $50, 100000 out of
our bankrupt National Treasury to purchase,
or if they cannot purchase, then to steal
through war, the Island of Cuba from the
Spanish nation-solely in order to annex
mex another Slaveholding State to the Union,
and thereby strengthen the power of the
Shareholders in enforcing their sectional policy
upon the country and of more firmly secu-
ring for the Democratic party the continued
enjoyment of the offices of the nation.
But while millions upon millions are thus
voted for Southern schemes of unjust aggran-
dizement, this SMALL BOON to the North, of
merely allowing ten gears credit to the Poor
Man, to the Actual Settlers upon the Public
Lands, to the Free Laborers of the North,
foreign and native-born, IS DENIED, by this
same Democratic Party! Millions for the
South and to extend Slavery and its power;
but not cent for the patient North-the lass
that bears burdens" for Southern task mas
ters!
! Is it not most time, fellow-citizens, for all
hands to scout such Democratic Party with
indignation from evermore receiving Northern
| sympathy or single Northern vote
P.S.-The New York Tribune of the 25th
| says:
"The Presumption bill, with Mr.. Crows import
| ant amendment engrafted on it, is dead, Mr.. Hum
phrey Marshall having withdrawn his motion to
| reconsider. We trust that Mr.. Crows proposition
will yet be moved in some other form, and carried
There may be majority in the House who would
like to defeat it, but there is no majority that dare
vote against it,
