Tho Homestead Bill.
Thoso proposing this measure have cool
ly assumed that it is one of bencvolenco and
justice, whereas it is ono of injustico and
evil. The proposition is ir, substanco,that
the Government shall donate lands in the
west to those who will settle upon them.
And this is to extend not only to citizens
of the United States but also to foreigners
before naturalization. In other words,
all tho immenso domain of the United
States is to be, hereafter, given away, as
rapidly as settlers can bo induced to go
upon it.
So. great a chango in tho policy of the
Government regarding the public lands,
challenges examination and judgment.
Government lands have heretofore been
put in market at one dollar and twenty five
cent! per aore,in convenient quatitities,aud
upon any that remained unsold for some
time the price has been reduced. Tuo
privilege of a priority of right to purchase
has also'becn secured to actual settlers over
others.
The proceeds of land sales have gone in
to the treasury of the United States to tho
average amount of three millions of dollars
yearly, constituting a revenue to reimburse
tho Government for outlays in acquiring
tho lauds, for the expenses of their survey
and management, and for tho cost of pro
viding local governments pending their set- j
tlcmeiit.
It is manif st that it is not necessary to
givo away the lands in order to secure ,
their settlement. The whole history of the
Territories contradicts such a pretence; nor
can it bo claimed as probable that settle
ment will stop in futuro unless such in
ducement as the one proposed bo held out
by the goverument. 'J ho utmost that can
be alleged, is, that by this m.asurc settle
ment may be accelerated ti tonic extent
But dissatisfaction with the rate at which
Kf.ntf Imvn mown un in the west would
be unreasonable inducd.uud therefore there

appears no reason :or attempting to stim

ures. Again ; whatovor lojs the treasury sus
tains by withdrawing the proceeds of the
laud sales, would have to bo made up by
increased taxation upou tho people of tho
.country. It is proposed that u'l .-liall Ue cuaraccer oi mc ram vjuuiuruueu prupo

neither justice nor policy. I cannot compete with that of Franco or
The public lands are also a strou" prop England, ths privateers we could put
to public credit, aud to squander them is
to weakeu the government.
Aud yet this Homestead project, was
one of tho loading measures of the ilepub-1
licans and endorsed in their platform in
1860. Freo Farms," "Lauds for the
Landless," "Homes for the Homeless,"
these were the cries gotten up to delude
tho ignorant and win votes I The poor
were to bo mado rich by Government gifts
if thoy would only put tho "free-farm ' par
ty in powor I
It would be well if tho fact wero more
thoroughly comprehended than it seems
to be, that tho government can have noth
ing to bestow which it docs not obtain iu
some way upon trust, from tho people.
It follows, that it is no part of its business
to mako donations, and that "it is an out
rage upon tho equal rights of all and es
sentially unjust, to appropriate the public
property without an equivalent, to indi
viduals or a class.
It U likely that the enormous pressure
upon the Treasury for war outlays, will
prevent the passage of a homestead bill, at
this time, oven by a Ucpublican Congress.
But the measure has been proposed, and it
deserves to bo kept in mind and steadily
opposed as ono of tho unjustiliabJo and in-,
Jurlous measures p! the party in power,
Jt constitutes ono of the jur.t objections to
.that party, and is a good reason for with
drawing power from its hands at the earli
est opportunity.

Pt ivateorinR. I A Now Taunt.
The documents accompanying tho Prei John Hickman's man Friday who edits
ident's Messago at tho commencement of the Jtmtrican Republican pi Whcstchcst
tho present session of Congress, disclose a or is a man of extraordinary gonius. In
proceeding in our foreigu rolations deser-
Ting of utmost condemnation. Diplomacy 1
is more or lets secret, and in conducting
it our Secretary of State, and the Presi-'
dent or Administration ho represents, are
not immediately responsible to public opin-'
ion. We must, for a time, confide in the J
intelligence of tho Administration and in
its fidelity to the national interests, with-
out knowing precisely what it is doing.
And, oven tthen formal treaties $rc nego
tiated, their submittal to the Seuato is in
secret session, and tho people may know
nothing of engagements contracted on
their behalf, until they nro fully bound by
them. Probably all this is necessary to
tli c due management of our relations with
foreign powers ; but tho fact of secrecy
the absence of popular opinion or influence
during negotiation and even pending ques
tions of confirmation in tho Senate ren
ders necessary great circumspection as
well as fidelity in the Department of State.
And, especially, when anew lino of policy
in foreign relations is proposed to our Gov
ernment, its action should not bo precipi
tnto, nor, (if tho case admits of it) without
the approval, in somo form, of public
opinion amongst us.
But in utter disregard of such consider
ations, and acting (one would think) undei
a most strange infatuation, wo una our
Administration through tho Secretary of
State suddenly proposing to. accede uncon
ditionally to the Paris Conference propo
rtion upon Privateering 1 Just installed
in power, without a whisper of public
opinion to incite it, or even a prior consul
tation of the Seuato on the subject, our
Administration proposed to Europe an
abandonment forever of an essential right
of national defence 1
During tho Pierce presidency England
and Fraucc agreed, in conjunction with
some other powers, to aboliah Privatccrii g
so that war ou the Ocean should bo con
ducted by Government vessels alone. This
would suit Great Britain and France,
powers which have great war navies estab
lished at enormous expense, but it would
not suit powers destitute of such navies.
I he Government of the United States
uudcr President Pierce, therefore refused
.ii- , . c ' t

tional law uuloss ltsuouiu tie lurtncr stip
ulated that private property upon the
Ocean (except articles contraband of war)
should not be liable to capture at all in
time of war. Secretary Marey, on behalf
of the United States, demonstrated most
conclusively the inequa'ity and dangerous
i . p ... tv . n t
afloat would enable us to conduct a strug
fle vili either of those powers upon cquil
terms. The priyatcurs would constitute
our mi litia of the ocean, enabling us to
strike heavy blows up'in the enemy and
bring him to terms.
Tho proposition to abolish privateering
is therefore a proposition to deprive us of
an arm of our National strength, and give
to France aud Great Britain absolute
control of the ocean as against us in timo
of war. Ba it observed that those pow
ers will not agreo that private property
upon the ocean shall be exempt from cap
ture in war. Thoy claim the right to use
their vessels of war in capturing our mer
chantmen and sweeping our commorcc
from tho ocean, aud then ask us to aban

other papers, ho has taken fright at the
resolution offered by Col. Tate, which wo
.print elsewhere, and pours out tho vials of
his wrath upon tho whole party : And
tho most violent and abusivo chargo he
can make against it is, that "they sing
psalms to the constitution."
Tho demoeratio party is a conHUutiowi
arty ; that i s tho bead and and front of
thoir offending. They are for tho Union
aud Constitution ; and upon that platform
tho arc imp rcgnnblc. See the contemptu
ous manner in which Hickman's man
speaks of tho constitution.
"Tho Breekcnridgors aro great on the
Constitution, when that sacred instrument
can serve their purposes. Up hero thoy
sing psalms to tho Constitution, and at the
same moment pat on tho back tho cotton
lords who havo torn it into taticrs. Mr.
Tato's bunkum resolution was very prop
crly hustled into the room of the commit
tee on Federal Eolations, where it ought
to be put to rest on a constitutional pillow,
with a few drops of constitutional lauda
num to compose its nerves into an everlas
ting sleep."
If the resolution is "bunkum" why dont
you let it pass and die; instead of having
it ''hustled into tho room of tho committee
on Feberal relations,'1 where the republi
cans intend to smother it? The truth is,
the resolution cuts to tho core strips the
veil from every abolition-emancipationist ;
showing him in his naked deformity to tho
country. Well may Hickman aud his
crew take fright. Tho fall of Fremont
tho removal of Cameron the appointment
of Stantin are but the shadows of those
coming events which will restore the union
aud the constitution and destroy forever
the abolition agitators who are the fathers i
of all our troubles.

The "no party republican-union party,'

Decidedly tho most brilliant military
campaign which our Couutry ever engaged
was the Mexicau War, during thc admin-
istraricnof President Polk, fix-President
Buchanan, was, at that time, Secretary of
Sta.e, and the lato Governor Marey, Sec
retary of War. Tjie most extensive means
had to bo provided for tho maintenance of
a large army in a distant country, and
millions of tnoncy passed through the hands
of the govcrnmout officers. Rut we do not
remember that auy one of them was ever
charged with peculation or dishonesty.
Certain it is that not a whisper was ever
heard affecting the integrity of Mr. Marey,
and he retired from office enjoying tho re
spect of tho wholo couutry. Tho demo
cratic administration of President Polk, in
that campaign, set an example which
might havo been profitably followed by
those holding high places under Mr- In-coln-.
It certainly is not necessary to the
successful prosecution of a war that all
concerned iu conducting it should turn
highway robbers. Ens'ton Argus.
