Tan Flax Movement ih Ibeland.— Tho Bel fast papers of a late date report, at great length, the-proceedings at the annual meeting of the Royal Society for the promotion and improve ment of the growth of flax in lreland. The | present i demand for flax in Ireland is about donhle what it was when the Society was estab lished. In 1841, the Irish spinning trade num bered 250,000 spindles. Now it is closeupon COO,OOO. In place of 16,000 tons of flax, which was the extent of consumption.!B4l,32,ooo tons are now required by the Irish - trade. The en tire consumption of.the United-Kingdom would at present, require 500,000 acres of flax annual ly, and it is progressively increasing at aprctly rapid rate.

ChalßsuN:—l am in favor, of .the prin ciple of this hill and of its. general .provisions. I shall consume but a very small portion of . the time of the House in assigning -tbareasons why I shall give it my support,. . . , Tho proposition to do note the public , lands in limited quantities, and-with certain limitations, to actual settlers, is one of growing Importance and of increasing interest to a large portion of the American people. - In.the Xew.remarks.that I shall submit in support of the general propo sition; 1 shall avoid anddiseountetionce any view that may approximate; - or even give color to a leveling or an agrarian spirit. I Bhall avoid any sanction, or any attempt at a demonstration of the problem, that there is a natural or in defeasible right inherent,in every citizen to oc cupy and enjoy,land without pnoo, condition, or grant. .. ■: u The-structure of onr Government is republi can, not onlyin theory, but it is truly so in all itspraotical operations. Thereisno Government in existence now, nor none known . to history, where tho path to honor and distinction is so broad and so generally. trodden as that which has been pointed out under tho guidance of our Federal Constitution, nor nono where the re wards of labor have been more certain or more generally diffused. I shall treat tho question as ono not only wise and just in itself, bnt as political in its concep tion and results—as bclngintimately connected with, and forming a pnrt of our political economy. Our own brief experience as a nation is illus trating-the llistono truth, - that Governments commit egregious errors; thnt they grow wild in tho extravagance of thoir expenditures as tho national revenues increase, to an extent ovincing not only great prosperity, bnt great national wealth. In tho course of my remarks, I shall tako occasion to draw tho attention of tho House and of the country to the largo andinereasing re ceipt into tho national treasury under our rove nue system, and to tho corresponding expendi ture that is marked as a. consequenco, leaving tho inference to be drawn whether tho adminis tration of the Government would not bo. more just, more pure, and more econoraioal, without any real or anticipated revenue from the sales of tho publia lands. In tho vast possessions of tho Government, known os tho public domain, there is comprised an area of fourteen hundred milbons of acres. Its boundary findß now bnt a more scattered be ginning on the northwestern borders of Ohio, which was bnt recently the frontier settlement, and extends through . the fertile valley of tho Mississippi to the shores of-the Pacifio ocean, and from tho lakes om the north to the Gulf of Mexico and the waters of tho Atlantic, It em braces a variety of soil and a variety of climate, enriched in mineral wealth, and frnitfnHnogn cultural productions. . Thera wonld seem to be nothing wanting to develop, its mighty resources, to elevate it to the capacity, tho power, and dig nity of a mighty empire, but to encourage its settlment, to secure-its improvement, to stimu lale pnd strengthen tho arm that will fell the forest, oultiTate tbe wild prairie, and. reclaim tbewet and waste lands. It was said by on eminent author that he that would make two spears of grass grow where but one would have grown, deserved the thanks of the community. This remark was mode in the spirit of true phi losophy, and Its practical operation in determi ning a new policy for the management of the publio domain, is deserving tho favorablo con sideration of tho American Congress. The title in the General Government to the public domain has been acquired by deeds of cession, and by purchase through treaties with the Indians, as well as with Franco, Spain and Mexico. Tho success of tho revolution of inde pendence gavo the colonics or independent States aclaim or title to the country lying or situate between the Canadas and Louisiana, which then belonged to France, and from the New England coaßt to the east; bank of the Mississippi river. To avoid a fend that threatened from an angry conflict growing oat of unsettled State bounda ries, States oquallu sovereignity and indepen- ceded or conveyed to tho General Govern meot.their right to thepublie domain. If Vir ginia was not the first to lead the way la this great sasriSce or contribution to the common food it is nevertheless true —and she may refer to it with - pride, os forming a bright passage upon tho page of her history—that after the gallant part she bore in.the cause of the -Revolution, from the adoption of the Declaration of Inde pendence to tho surrender of Cornwallis upon her own soil, sho conveyed to the General Gov ernment her right to the moat magnificent region of country upon which the eye of man has ever res ted- It stretches from the Ohio to the Mississip pi and to the Lakes, and comprises tho States of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Hllnoiß and Wiscon sin, and now contains a population of 4,628,189 souls—a country possessing great commercial advantages—almost unlimited in agricultural re sources:—penetrated by beautiftd rivers—crossed by artificial lines of communication connecting the Ohio and tho Mississippi with the lakes, cov ered with oharohes, eohool houses; cities, towns, and villages, and exhibiting all tho evidences of high and unprecedented prosperity, and State after State will yet surpass Virginia her self, os Ohio has already done, and vie with hor upon this floor for numerical preponderance in the councils of the nation. By an examination of ‘the books of the Land Office, I have ascertained that the number of acres of public land in each Btate and territory unsold and undisposed of on tho 80th of June, 1851; wa5T,400,G32,305 48, and are distributed OB follows: State* and Territories.

The same policy governed in the purchaso of the Eloridaa. This then, ,is the most favorable Oxhibit that ean.be made of, the land system, as : aisonrceofpwfit and-revenne to the Government, (sra period-of sixty-fonr years, from 1787 to 1860. ' .. . * It oleo appears that, within a fraction, the one-half of the above son) was the result of the receipts for tho two years of 1835 and 1836 InlB3s,;tbs receipts amonnted t0514,787;600- 76, and In 1836, to $24,877,179 86, ; „ . These extraordinary receipts ytero the result of reckless Bpeoidati«n;.h;reateditimd' Stimulated by a depreciated papereurtepey; iphiclt at that time was receivable foppublic the evil, was only arrested Ly the issuing pf the tptcXe circular by.president Jackson. To suoh amoxtent had the National Treasury become burdened from the proceeds of the land, that, distribution .WO3 resorted to, and Congress, by the act of 23d of Jane, 1886, concluded to deposit with the several Smtes of the Union the sum of - $37,408,859-97, ■of which sum actual deposit was made of $27,003,480 80. As a mere question, then; of Investment in the abstract, tbe Government might here rest, forithos been more than reimbursed. Butin this view of the subjeot, the qaostion of profit 'Os connected with and forming a part of, our political economy presents itself in another light. Oommereo is the life and support of every na tion. Its foundation is to be traced lo.the culti vation of the soil, and its prosperity reckoned by. the extent of its agricultural production. In ancient times, it was commerce that gave wealth and power and grandeur to Carthage, and Tyre, and Alexandria, and in modern times, wealth and empire to Holland and to Venice.— The loss of their oommoroe was the decay of their prosperity and the loss of ornpiro. Shonld it not, then, be oar policy to extend far and wide the basis of onr agricultural interest, and thus lay broad and deep, tho foundation of our com mercial prosperity ? I might here inquire to what extent, then, wonld the passage of this bill induce settlement and increase production. The most liberal esti mate of thoso who coaid avail themselves of the provisions of the bill would not oxceed a million of persons. Ono handrod and sixty millions of acres of wild land, settled, improved, and culti vated, as the result of a polioy, shadowed forth and guarantied by tho passage of this bill, would not only extond far and wido tho basis of onr agrionltaral interests, bat it would extend far and wido, and Beoure onr commercial supremacy. The increaso of agrioultnral productions con sequent upon Buch settlement and cultivation would be almost incalculable. The single item of whoat estimating a surplus over and above the necessary wants of the producer, at three bushels per aero, would be equal to 480,000,000 ofbuahols; valued at fifty cents per bnsbel, would amonnt to $240,000,006. Tho some rale and estimate witl apply to all tho other great variety of agrioultnral production;, tho reanlt of settlement, improvement, nnd cultivation of tho soil. A million of freemen, by tho liberal action of their own Government, put m possession of a limited quantity of wild land—a homo—would soon Bupply tbomsolvos and families with tho ncoestanes and comforts of life. The history of all prosperous communities oxhibita tho fact, that wo supply our wants and consult our com forts in proportion to tho moans within our con trol. With Inoreased means comes on increased demand for all those supplies, tbo interchange of which is tho lifo of commeroc, and consti tutes one of the main elements of national pros perity. Mneh that contributes to our necessary wants and oomforts, is tbe resalt of foreign pro duction, not only of foreign fabrics, but tho production of foreign olimatos. Assume, thou that each landholder created by tho passage of this bill would, in consequence of the inoreased prodaotion, tbe rosultof hlsownlabor, be enabled to supply himself and family with foreign produc tions and fabrics to the value of bat fifty dollars per annum, and it would increase our annual imports $50,000,000; the revenue derivable from which, under our present revenue system of thirty per cent., would yield annually to tbo national Treasury the sum $16,000,000. Tho increased importation thuscreatod, would induce a corresponding eipOTt of agricultural produce the result of a wise, just, and benevolent sys tem of government policy, which had caused two spears of grass to grow where but one would have grown. If it is true, as it has been alleged, that it is tho policy of tho Government to cling to tho public domain as a source of revenue and profit, 1 insist that no grander scheme of speculation can bo devised than the passage of this vory bill All land speculations in tbo valley of the Mississippi have proved successful just in pro portion to the exleut of the surrounding settle ments, improvement and cultivation. Tbe very basis upon which the numerous grants heretofore mode by Congress of oitoroate sections of the publio land to aid in the construction of roads, canals, and railroads, was the assumed increased voluo that would be given to tbe remaining sec tions by tbo construction of snoh improvements. It is tbo great argument relied upon in support of tho numerous applications and bills for tho partial appropriation of tho publio domain to aid in tho construction of Stato works and cor porate improvements. If Congress has rooog nised the prinolplo and acknowledged the force of tho argument, by sanctioning this system of partial legislation, why not carry out the prin ciple and extend tho poltoy ? I am opposed to this partial legislation; and in tho general scramble that ie about to ensue for the public domain, I want this bill to stand first and fore most upon the statole-book. Mr Chairman, in tho examination and discus sion of this subjeot, it is important to remark, for it is true, as exhibited by legislative history, that tho policy of tho Government In the man agement of the public lands with a view (o revenue, has for years contemplated a change—a relaxation, if not a total abandonment, of such i policy, As early os 1832, General Jackson, in his an nual message to Congress stated that— •‘lt oannot be doubted that the speedy settlp > ment of these lands constitute the true interest of tho Bepnblio. The wealth nod strength of a country are itspopnlation; and the best part of tho population arc the cultivators of tho soil.— independent farmers are everywhere the basiß of society, and true friends of liberty. It seems to me to bo onr true polioy that the public lauds shall cease as soon os practicable to be a source of revenue.” In tbe year 1840, tho aggregate revenues of the Government were $17,666,460 03. The ox penditnreß reached to $24,189,920 H. In 1861 tho revenues reached to $62,312,970 87. Tho aggregate current expenditures for tho some year were $50,962,902 69. In 1840, tho population of the United States was 17,009,453. In 1860, it was 28,267,723. Mark the disparity 1 Why this extraordinary increase of expenditure? Tho question can bo readily answered. The Treasury Is too full— its oversowing stimulates on ardent, impatient, and resistless appotlte for extravagant expendi ture- In the presence of its glittering and im posing influence, nil the old-fashioned practical notions and safeguards of political economy relax and give way. By the last report of tho Scoro tnry of tho Treasury, submitted to Congress December UGth 1851, it appears that by inclu ding the balance on hand at tho close of tho preceding fisoal year, it is found that the sur plus in the Treasury on tho first of July, 1851, nftcr deducting the onrreut expenses, was $lO,- 911,046 68. It appears further by tho same report, that tbo estimated receipts for the fiscal year 1852, will bo $81,800,000 ; whilst tbe expenditures are estimated at $42,- 892,299 19 being on eocess of receipts over ex penditures-of $8,907,700 81. I may inquire, then, unsler tills state of foots, in the language of President Jaokson, if it Is not now “ praotloa blo” that tho public lands should “ cease” “to bo a source of revenue.” That tho period has arrived when they should cease to be a sonroo of revenue is not only indi cated by tbe recent legislation of Congress, but that they will not. for years yield revenue is acknowledged in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, made by Mr. Corwin to Congress on tho 17th of Dcoembor, IB6o.—Ex. Doo. No. 11, pago 12. In referring to the sources of revenue, and particularly to that portion hereto fore derivable from the soles of tho publio lands, the report sets forth, that “this source of revenue" should not hereafter be relied upon with any certainty, or to any considerable amount, in estimating the receipts of the Trea sury. 16,480,849 28 It further appears by tips same report that “ By tho various acts of Congress appropriating tho publio lands to objeots which withdraw thorn from ordinary revenue purposes, it is quite oeis tain thafcforsevoral years to oome tho Treasury must be mainly if not entirely dependent for its receipts japon duties levied upon foreign, mer chandise!” and that “the law reoontiyenaoted, giving lands to these who eppreijii} |l)p wfif With Mexico, and, at the last session, to snoh as had served in former wars, in addition to grants to States for internal improvements, will undoubt edly supply the market with the greater portion of the lands thnt will be reqnired fpr ooonpation for many years to oome.” The quantity pi lanifs eqjd and taken from market by virtue of these warrants/or tho years 1847, 1848, and 1849, Is 14,727,742.40 acres; tbe warrants yet to be presented under these aots will require 78,922,613 acres—in all 93,- 650,246,40 oores; and ot fkp most l|l)6j?al'OTßi> age, “over sixteen years will6e required -to absorb and satisfy the warrants yet to be issued: as estimated, under the several bounty land sots now in force.” This exhibit presents a state of things requiring the fullest considera tion of Congresf and a speedy and mdioal ohange in the policy and management of onr la#4 Sys tem. What better plan, then, can be suggested than that proposed by the bill now under con- - A ' * * * sideration?

By the provisions of that bill, tha actnol Bettler is entitled to receive from one hundred and sixty to six hundred and forty acres, depending upon the timo of his settle ment and his condition, whether married or not. No doubt can oxist, then as to tho ocastitn tionol right of Congress to legislate in the prem ises- Tbe exercise of the right in making a disposition of this kind of public property, de pends upon tho views of Congress under the cirenmstanccß before .them. The preposition, benevolent and patriotic In its oonoepbon, so far has neither been strength enod by thepowor, nor inoambered by the pre judice of party, but by tho force of merit is at tracting public consideration, and gaining strength and power through the fores of pnbiio sentiment. It boa received the sanction of Mr. Webster, now the Secretory of State. Whilst a member of tbe Senate of tbe United States, he introduced on the 22d day of January, jffig), the following resolution: “Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law that every main citixen of the United Stateß, and every mole person who hue declared bis intention of becoming a citizen according to tho provisions cf law, of twenty one years of age or upwards, shall be entitled to enter upon and take any one quarter section of the public lands which may be open to entry, at private sale, for the purposes of residence and cultiva tion ; and that when snoh citizen shall have re sided on the s&tno land for throe years, and cul tivated the som,e or if dying in the meantime, tho residence and cultivation shall be bold and carried on by his widow or his heirs, or devisees, for tho spaoe of full three years from and after making entry of such land, such residence and cultivation for the said three years to be com pleted within four years from tho time of such entry, then a patent to isßao for the same to tho person making entry, if living or otherwise to his heirs or devisees, ss the ease may require: Provided. nevertheless, that snoh person so en tering and taking tho quarter section os afore said shall not have, nor shall his devisees or heirs have, any power to alienate snoh land nor create any title thereto in law or equity, by deed, transfer, lease, or any other conveyance except by deviso by will.” In tho discussion «f tho resolution on the 30th of tho same month, the prinolplo recoived the sanction of Gen. Cass, in tho following words: “ I desire to say bnt a word on this subject— I am glad to witness these preparatory discus sions. They bring np a great principle—a prin ciple to which lam highly favorable.” * * * “I believe it would bo befter for tho country that thoso who cultivate the lands shonld bo those who h6ld them. I boliovo that the time has oome, and that this oountry is now In a sit uation, when it is host to hold out this encour agement, and that is what I call tho ‘ago of pro gress” in reply to tho honorable. Senator from Kontncky. When I saw him come bore in 1800, in the meridian of his life, I did not dream that this ago of progress would come: bnt I hope it has oome now; I hope tho time has arrived in which tho publio domain will bo held for tho benefit of those who will become .actual set tlors.” Mr. Chairman, the unexampled growth and prosperity of our country is traceable, in a great measure, not only to our vast agricultural pro-, ductions, but to the foot that the freo white pop ulatiou of the United States is an approximation to a community of landholders. The Govern ment of Great Britain, of wlpoh, prior to 1776, we wepe dependent oolonies, traces its power to a mighty landed aristocraoy, representing one of the legislative departments of tho Govern ment—a povyer far above that of the Army and rfavy, if not above tho Throne, for it shapes the fiolloy and controls the legislative notion of I’or iamont. There, the rightß ef primogeniture fire adhored to with stubborn tenacity. It soems to be tho policy of tho Crown to bnild up im mense landed estates. In the United States, we have practiced upon tho reverse of snoh a poh oy. We have qualified tho right of primogeoi . ture, ond repudiated the doctrine of entoilment. The fruits of our wisdoms: are visible in every State and in every community. In Great Bri tain, tbe government relies for Ith protection upon tho power of the Army, the Navy, and the House of Lords, representing the landed Inter est of the Kingdom. .In tho United States, wo rely for onr snooess »uo preservation upon the ■ virtue, intelligence, ond patriotism* of tho -people. In Great Britain, the population In 1851, In cluding Ireland ond tho islands In the British seas, woe 27,619,860. The mimber of landhol ders only about 80,000. -\ In tim United States and Territories, the free white population, by tbe last census, was 19,- 630,7aa The nqmbep of landholders—the ow- Hers of : farms —was 1,448,480; &<ltl to. this the number of freeholders as contradistinguished from brm owners, being 930,977, and it would increase tho number to 2,379,483, distribntedas potions; States and Territories. free white dto.ofltmd population. holders.

Love of countiyand love of land is a natural association. It existed in a primitive condition of society. Under the organization of govern ment and the forms of society* the desire for acquisition is still greater; ; and when attained, it enables itg possessor to disohargo more fully the duties of life—to contribute bis part for the support of his country m tune of pcaoe, whilst it nerves his arm in tho hour of battle. Patrick Henry, whosepatriotism and matchless eloquence pot in motion the ball of the Revolution* i was ardent in the acquisition of land and at one time even contemplated a location on tho shores of tho Chesapeake. Washington, the Father of his Country, who led our armies m triumph through the battles of the Revolution, was equally ardent in the acquisition of land. r Even before the Revolution ho fonnd no barrier m the Alleghenies to his enterprising spirit, and at that early day, in the district which I have, tho honor to represent, he made a location and nn improvement, which is now often referred to with interest, because, when the dark forest marked it as tho wild hunting ground. of tho Indian, it had received the impress of the Father of his Country. The area of tho public domain, instead of hav ing diminished in proportion.to settlement, tho mere oBo of population, and of immigration,' has increased almost without limit, by purchase and by conquest Wo have an immense extent un settled and uncultivated; ond under tbe best legislation wo can adopt, a groat deal of it most remain unsettled and uncultivaed for ages'—it may be fok centuries. The number of acres of publio land unsold and undisposed of m tbe twelve States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,? lowa* Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, is 200,000,000—equal.- in area to the old thirteen States that earned us tnumphantly through tho Revolution. Tho area of tho lands remaining undisposed of in the Territories is 1,201,123,657.86 acres, sufficient in extent to make forty‘two StatCß of tho size of Pennsylvania. Of this, much is posses sed by the Indians, and will be for many years to come; but all of it eventually wilt become tbe proporty of the United States, from tbe certain operation of the same causes which seem to doom tbe Indian race to ultimate extinction—a result to be deplored, but which seems to bo in evitable. Tboy have already so far disappeared before the advances of civilization, until their homes are now far beyond tbo angry waters of the Mississippi; and as they travel towards the setting sun, the council-firo will gradually disap* pear in the gorges of the-mountain, and the war* whoop finally bo lost in tho murmurs of the great Pacific ocean.

What is to be done with this vast region,; that It may be converted from «u uncultivated wilderness to its natural purpose, and caado to bring forth its fruits abundantly ? Pass this bill —encourage and secure its settlement. The Government was founded by tbo people for tbe good of the people. Its great basis, is popular affection. It possesses au Itnmcnseprop-' erty which it cannot Bell, but by a process equal in time to a period of centuries. Compare tbe number of acres sold up to this date and the length of time (sixty four years) that has been consumed In making the sales, with tho number of acres now undisposed of, and It will be seen that it will require, at the samo pace, nine hun dred ycar3 to dispose of the samo The pro* gresstve spirit of the age is impatient of tbe de lay, and demands a quickened step. Vast for-; eats and prairies separate our Atlantic and Pa cific regions, which every consideration of secu rity and of intercourse require should be set tled. Its settlement would place upon a distant frontier a force able and wilting to defond as against hostile savages, nnd thus spare ua much of tho expense we are now requiring to defray. It would bo justice to tbo new States in which portions of tbe public lands aro situated, by con verting them into private property, subjecting them to taxation, and thus requiring them to bcoijthcir legitimate proportion of the burdens of Stateg overnmcnL With all of our exempted prosperity, Mr. Chairman, m the arts and sciences, in the pro gress of improvement, in the extent of our com merce, in thy growth and success of our manu factures, in wealth and in power, it is neverthe less true that there, is great inequality in. the condition of life, and that much can bo done to ameliorate that condition without doing injustice or violence to tho rights of any. There is no Government that has so much to spare os ours, and none where the gift would be productive allko of mutual benefit. It would be the exhi bition of a union of philanthropy and notional interest, camsumating a measure by which wor thy oitizons would bo made comfortable, not by wasting tbe property of the State, not by ex actions from the * property of* others, but h? moderate grants of wild land,* the cultivation of whioh would swell tho productive property of the country, and thus contribute itq proportion to the oonpnoQ necessities, in peace qnd in war. Hq inconsiderable portion of oar population is enabled, for tho want of means, to pußh for. ward to the frontier, and thero form settlements. Desirous of doing so, it requires on expendi ture they cannot meet All that many of them can do, is to reach the country and provido for their support, until the laud, improved,by. thoir labor, bccotiies productive. Te requiro them to pay beyond thatfor the laud, amounts to pro hibition against their going lhere. : The pr§- omption system stimulated emigration and set tlement; but experience has shown, that ina* bllity to pay Jthe Government for the title after a period of several trials incident to auch new settlement, gave the land, in many instances, into tho clutch of the speculator, and drove the. hardy pioneer again-to .. -.'vo.;- Certainty and reliability are words full of im-_ port and value in tne American language. certainty of being secure In a small possession a home —even on the extreme confines of civitiza- ; tion, would th e heart of .mauy.au honest man of lizpited means to make the effort to secure it.
