The SENATE HOMESTEAD BILL. The
Homestead Bill Of Mr.. johnson, now
before che United States Senate, differs
materially from that passed by lhe House.
1t gives one hundred anI sixty acres to
the head of family and citizens, only
requiring them to select from lands sub
jet to private entry, and restricting them
to alternate sections, by which specuia-
tore who purchase interncdiately would
be most benefited. The House bill gives
one hundred and sixty acres to all bona
tide settlers, and allows. them to locate
on all lands open to presumption.

in this country We sec persistent effort to
degrade labor. Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress declare, and
the sentiment is echoed by the press and
sanctioned by the party, that labor is the

is thu natural condition of the laborer &c.
That labor should be owned and not hired:
thus striking a blow at the very liberties
of nine-tenths Of the Democratic voters of
the North, and no voice of condemnation

KNOW NoTHINGISM.
Once in year the dead and defunct car
cass of Know Nothingism is brought out,
and dressed up in fanatic robes to trighten
Trishmen and Germans with. But when
the smoke and dust Of the battle has clear
ed away, we survey the ground and find
that Massachusetts, Republican,: and South
Carolina, Democratic Stats, have tram
pied upon the rights Of foreign born citl-
Gems alike. I also see this step on the
part CT these two States, condemned by the
Republican State Conventions Of every
other State, while the Democratic State
Conventions have no word Of censurc for
South Carolina. Isee under the admins
tration of James Buchanan the rights of
naturalizcd citizens shamefully trampled
upon. The position Of Mr.. Cass, in his
letter to Mr.. LeClerc, called down the un-
qualified reprobation Of the Republican
press, but no word Of ccnsurc from the
Democracy.

property and not manhood, the basis of

Office that Is not the owner Of ten slaves.
If this is Democracy, count me out.
CONCLUSION.
wish to dictate to no man. would
buy no man. And God knows l would
not disgrace my countrymen by "sclling
them" if I could. l always supposed a
man had right to exercise his owH jadg.
ment and follow the dictates Of his owV
conscience, in the disposition of his vote.
IF it is "treachcry" to exercise the rig ghts
Of freemen, then amend the Constitution
Of our country to conform to this Demo-
cratic Code. IF the Democratic party has
arrived at the point Of desperation where
it requires its members to be deaf, blind
and senselcss, to every principle not enun-
ciated by its leaders, if. VIC must sacrifice
our own manhood and sense Of ri f!ht under
the penalty Of being branded a "traitor"
and having our ''treachery" heralded
through the public prints, in prose and
poetry, it is time that party went into dis
solution. If you, Sir wish to bow your
neck to the yoke Of your masters, and be
the obedient ass Of tyrants, may you be
blessed with the privilege. But hope
God will be as merciful to You as he was
to one Of old, and open your mouth before
you Gle, to rebukc those who ride you.

The Homestead Bill.

Among the important measures which.
have occupied the attention Of the present
Congress, that which proposes to grant the
public domain in limited quantities to ac.
tual settlers, stands first.
The much abused political maxim, s'To
the victors belong the spoils," has here a
most just and benefcent application. The
toil-worn and hardy pioneer that conqucrs
the Garth and makes her man's-that, by
dint of much perseverance and many pri-
vations, brings the uncultivated waste into
subjection, and causes the wild wilderness
to bloom and blossom like the rose-to him
and to him before all others, belongs the
advanta age Of his work, the result Of his;
enterprise.
As the disposition of the public lands
has hitherto been managed by the govern
ment, this has been ~thc,case only to a lin
tied extent. Between the Federal treasury
on the one side, and the greedy speculator
on the other, the settlers of our western
wilds have been robbed of their rights, and
in many cases driven from the soil they
had conquered, and which should have
been theirs forever.
In the first place, the treasury of the
country has received from the sale of pub
lie lands, according to the report of the.
Secretary of the Interior, more than one
hundred million dollars, over and above
the cost of surveys, &c. Every dollar Of
this sum should have been left with the
pioneer. He has needed it to prosecute
his work, and for want Of it, in many cases,
his energies have been crippled and his
successes hindered. This is the poorest
possible political economy. The country
would have been far richer to-day had q
liberal policy been pursued toward this wor-
thy class, and bonus been given rather
than tax imposed. It has starved the
hen that laid the golden egg. - ...m.,,.
On the other hand, the shrewd but un-
scrupulous speculator, encouraged BY the
Governmental policy, has kept watch Of
the pioneer, both before and behind, and
robbed him everywhere. He has bought
up the best wild lands at Government pri-
ces, and compelled the actual settler to P.3
