Several of them have passed thci Sen-' ate, and one of theist, granting about a million 'and a half of acres to a railroa& through the State of Missouri,has passed the Horse.i '13197 general scramble and rush by railroad speculators have been of such unparalleled loosenesi that; as if to escape the wholesale, corruption of this business, the House of Rep resentatireN.by a two-thirds majority, havo re-, oently passed the Homestead bill, ceding away tlicrentfre public domain, in grants of quarter, Sections, to actual settlers. ' In this exigency , of wholesale; corruption and stock-jobbing in the public lands,the nom ination of Gen. Pierce, and tho. Riltimoreplat. , come in very opportunely to the disper sion of the plunderers of the public treasury. • The railreod bills are stopped 7 —the schetnes • of the. land_ jobbersare suddenly-checked.— The Baltimore declaration that the true Indicv of:the government is to appropriate : the land ?weeds to the payment of the necessary ex penses of the treasury, is thus a timely decla ration; and if it means anything, it, is binding upon the democratic majority of both houses.. The public lands are the properly of. the Uni ted States—ell the States have an interest in them—and if they - aretO - be - given away to aid in the building of railroads , ruid canals, New 'York, being ono of the UnitecfStates to whom these lend& belong, is justly entitled to her share, according to , her weight of, representa tion in Congrcsa. . The Democratic platform Aibnios the constitutionality of the Whig meas., me of the distribution of the proceeds of tho public' lands among, the States; but if, the hinds themselves are'. to be parceled, out to railroads, plank roads; or canals, `every State and territory , in the Union is , entitled to its shire.._ There is no real distinction bet Ween giving away a Section of land, and the moth" for which it will sell. In either forimit !is so much money from the public treasury. !The excuse that by giving to a railroad: through the 'public domain one alternate section, you double the value of the other section retained by the government, is but a-triek.. The cost of the railroad is thus extracted from the pock-_ cis of the poOr settlers,.to the profit of.. the railroad specalators. ' The whole system of these. railroad projects is corrupt. It reduces the public domain to a ' , mere corruption fund for the benefit of stock jobbers and speculati ng members of Congr, It is a matter of public satisfaction, therefore, that the democratic part - Y.llg . ° put up a candi date and'a platform of the most decided, hos tility to -all these schemes of the land-jobbers. It is gratifying to see the effect already produ ced by, the action of the Demikratic Conven tion upon &agree's. There,hns been a chalk put upon this land-jobbing, Which we ;hope will be followed up. The . Homestead bill 7 it self hangs fire in the Senate;'and it is highly probable that the Baltimore ticket and, plat . form wilt bring the democratic majority of the &mato to the direct question of the policy of retaining the public dtmain as a fond for the wtyment of the public debt—N.

Par tially to-gratifyn common curiosity about the character of his. eloquence, of ja aeh is said, and partially,toillustrate his views of the disgusting system 'of political prescription, with which the adatinistratiori of Gen: Hard serlyis inaugurated, we copy the. lellowing concluding, passage from a speech delivered by him in 1842 in the Senate, advocating. the adoption of a_reschition -cdrered by 31r.lte chianti, e alling_upon the: President - the names of persons:T.-alloyed from office, and of those appointed since the'4th of garch, '4l "Democratic administrations have, tamed out sonie—many if 'you - please—political op: points, to give place to political friends, and on the single ground that they had the' right to prefer their‘friends to their opponents. But on this.point let me observe, that no' man Can say, froth his individual knowledge, how it is over the whole country; but here we can know, an] here we do know; the fact' that , a majority of•the subordinate officers in the EY ecutive department have during the last twelve years, been opposed. to General Jackson's and Mr. Van Buren's administration.% They were faithful and competent officers. , I believe; at all events they.were not reached by ono spirit of proscription.- When:l-for the last twelve years, your political friends have enjoyed a majority of thoplaces,hoW have our friends been treated now that the tables' are turned I They , have not eseafted yont Sharper and broader axe, wielded /vaunt your -open and Universal professiens. • - ' • , "But whatever was dime by thef late audit; istrations was not done under false pretences.
