I have seldom felt deeper regret than I did when a rumor went abroad that the Hon. Geo. W. Julian was not re elected to Congress, and I was thankful to a corresponding degree wheu the rumor proved unfounded. Mr. Julian is one of those rare public men who eombine great good sense with inflexible principles, and consequent clearness of mora! perception. Few men are so thoroughly imbued with the genius of Republican government. The best good of the xchole is always his aim, without regard to artificial distinctions of any kind. This genuine faith in Republican principles has made him a steadfast and fearless champion of emancipation and impartial suffrage, and it now lead? him to utter, and repeat, earnest warnings against the grants of public lands, immense tracts, to railroad and other' corporations; a system which he troves to be a reckless waste of our national resources, and dangerously antagonistic to the principles of our government; bestowing the soil, as it does upon a monopolizing few, and thus barring out the laboring many. His anay of statistics on this subject are really startling. In a very able Speech, on the 5th r.f February he says: "The grants made by Congress to railroads, and other works of internal improvement, will foot up not far from two hundred million acres. This immense domain has passed into the hands of corporations, unJ, under the terms on which it was granted, they hold it as a complete mouopoly. They may sell it to actual settlers in moderate hotiieste.t'.K or they may lt 10 a single toon -,i r.:i.-t. Thev may sell it lor a reu-oualde p'li, , ; or lis upon it just such a ptice as I hey please. Tin-v may soli it to-morrow, or bold it forty years tor a rie in price through the itih-imed value to be added to it by adjacent settlements. The Northern Tactic il.iiKvay alone has a grant about equal in extent to the live Siates of Pennsylvania. New Jetsey, Connecticut Massachusetts, and New Hampshire; while the total grants t'l.d.; to all our rations winks of interna! improvements aio nearly eipsal to i lie entire area of the thirteen osiginal Col its of the "United States.

VOL. 8, NO. 13. graft an aristocratic institution upon our republican system. Let us guard ourselves in season against the introduction of another destructive antagonism! One cf the worst features of slavery was the monopoly of the soil by a few, who were thus rendered lazy and despotic. If Congress had done its duty, the large plantations, including tens of thousands of acres, would have been sold in small lots, on moderate terms, to the poor laborers who had, for so may years, tilled them without : waces. This would have stimulated the industry of the freedmen, and inspired i them with a feeling of manliness most sal- ! utary in its effect on their morals; while it would, at the same time, have proved a very considerable help toward the payment of the national deht. I5ut Congress let the golden opportunity pass unused; and consequently the United States Government, instead of receiving revenue, has been obliged to buy great quantities of food to keep both the emancipated bondmen and their rebel masters from starvation. It was a just retribution, but how much longer are we going to need the severe lessons of retribution? L. Maria Child. Nasby's Farewell to Johnson. Nasby latest letter describes the hours of A.

The deadliest foe to a man's longevity is an unnatural and unreasonable excitement. Kvcry man is born with a certain stock of vitality, which cannot be increased, but which may be husbanded and expended rapidly, as he deems best.
