of his own labor upon such terms as he ma,

as viii promote harmony between them, ant
will adequately protect the rights and interest

labor.

purposes, but should preserve tie same q. ft
as possible far actual settlers, and to that ell
all subsidies of land, Us we'll as money
corporations and spcculators, should cease TO
ever. ..
