Farm Mortgages.


At the request of number of respec-
table individuals, we publish this week
on the first page of the TELEGRAPH, a
REVIEW of the decision ofthe Supreme
Court, in relation to Farm Mortgages.
In this connection we will remark, that
some of our subscribers have intimated
that this paper does not treat the subject
of Farm Mortgages, given for Railroad
purposes, with the consideration which
It's Importance demands. We have not
now, nor have we heretofore, had the
slightest objection to publishing any
thing which can be of benefit to the
Farm Mortgagors, or to other persons
interested. We have INDUCED the
hope, and still do, that some meaeure
may be devised which will afford relief
to the Farm Mortgagors, and prevent
wrong being done to the innocent hold
ers of these securities. The hardship Ups
which have grown out of these Railroad
transactions, are not all on one side.
That the State has been benefited
in the enhancement Of real estate prop
erty, generally, by the construction of
Railroads, will hardly be questioned
That at least a moral obligation has
been created on the part of the State, to
ltford relief, proviltng it can be done
without taxing individual property, it
would seem must be admitted. Open
md defiant reputation, is, in the end,
IN expensive remedy; on the other
hand an exaction OF the full payment Of
The securities, must in great multi
tude of cases, produce extreme hardship
aud suffering. State assn nption, by
taxing individual property, or by crea-
ting liabilities on the property holders
Of the State, seems to be repugnant to
cubic sentiment. But the appropria-
ton of State property for the relief of
those, who have been made sufferers
,;Or the benefit Of the many, does look
aquitable and just. 1t is this aspect Of
the question, which, we are pleased to
notice, is being discussed in many quar-
,ers, and which, it is hoped, may result
II some tangible measures for relief.

| DOUGLAS ON THE TARIFF.-There
is scarcely any sort of political belief
named, that Douglas has not at some
time endorsed On the 1st of March
1855, in the Senate of the u. S. Mr.

A few days since according to the
Geographic reports, Mr.. Douglas made
speech at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in
which he defended the Pennsylvania
protective policy. The political elias
ITCHY of Mr.. Douglas is wonderful; he
readily accommodates hi mself to the
political atmosphere about him.
