LAND MONOPOLY.

Overgrown landed estates,
even when occurring at rare in
tervals, are az evil. A political
system which fosters the multi
plicaiion Of these estates, does
violation to the principles of
natural justice. fifty men have
right 10 hold $4,000 acres
apiece, why not 100000 apiece?
Why not 100000? Why not q
milliong Let US make a special
instance: If the Rothchilds.
Barings, VIM. B. Astor, and a
dozen other millionaires were 10
combine to purchase a few Con.
gressionai districts in Middle
Tennessee, would the people re-
gard the step a blessing or
curse? Would they encourage
the monopoly of land, or would
they stop it?
NOW llle system Oh negro
slavery tends directly 10 establish
these enormous estates, where
one man and his family use fifty
acres of land for their neednl
and several thousand
acres besides for the purposes OF
luxury and extravaganza.
Now where a few men hold so
enormously large tracts of land,
it necessarily follows that
hundreds of other men must go
without land, and become mere
dependents upon their landlords.
Such a state of things is wholly
rrecoDcilable with republican
government. - NaShrWc Union.

NATIONAL STRENGTH.

Two years have passed since
the outbreak of tie pro-slavery
rebellion. The first gun at Fort
Sumptcr shocked the entire ma.
ton. Business in all quarters
was paralyzed, and the whole
people stood agast-panic-strick
en- with establishment. Capital
lists were alarmed, and the en-
tire commercial community re-
treated from their life activities
like doves TO their windows be
fore the whirl and roar of the
tornado. Failures occurred, and
fortunes built it was supposed
upon a rock, were dashed 10
pieces in day. Sadness and
mourning were almost universal.
Only those who had faith IN God
dared TO hope and to smile. The
country was in debt eighty mil
lions of dollars, and our copper
head politicians were already
beginning to talk Of bankruptcy
and ruin. Now began expenii-
lures on a scale unparalleled.
probably, in the history of the
world. Well, the tornado has
ragged two long years, and where
are we? Whence have we drift
ed? What awful calamity has
bcfalien us? How DO we stand
to day Thank God, we arc
