We al length have the pleasure of presenting to the public, the hist number of the KniiNA Palladium and of tendering our sincere reaper. Is to ihoia of our palron?,

for it an extensive circulation. It is ecncraliv expected of Editors, in first presenting themselves as such, before

the nublic. to ma a formal declaration of

their political s?:rtimonb, and the course they intend to pursue in their editorial functions. As it rerpects uj, suffice it to say, that we pioks on twelves J?.epv.b! leant, warmly attached to the best interests of our country; and pledge ourselves to publish a paper, found c d upon pure Republican principles uncontrolled by faction and unb i ; r se d b y pa rty .p irit, D i v e s t i 1 1 g o u r z c I v e s of every tiling like sectional partialities and local prejudices our paper shall be devoted, exclusively, to the benefit of ourselves, and the public in general. And although others may become the tools of factionthe venal slaves of party and the mouthpiece of intriguing political juntos and like a weather-cock, turn with every passing cade, and shift from side to side, as the scade of nopular opinion seems to preponderate: we shall endeavor to remain indexihly firm and independent, and shall pursue our course through the straight and undeviat ing channel of strict coality rendering, as far as is in our power, ''equal and exact justice" to every individual, party, sect, or denomination. Wo shall endeavor to render the Palladium, a Palladium of liberie,'1 an impartial observer of the passing events, a vehicle of correct information, and a. receptacle for the expanding genius of our country. Among the many invaluable privileges guaranteed to us, as a people, by the Constitution of our country, arc the unrestrained liberty of the Press, and the freedom of discussion: these, we shall ever maintain inviolate, so long as they do not extend to licentiousness, or the unwarrantable abuse of any individual or party. In our country, the supreme authoriiy and right of government is vested in the Peotle. Although llieu do not meet together, en masse, and enact their own laws (.as this would be impracticable, owing to their numbers, and the vast extent of territory over which they are spread) yet they meet to

gether in bodies, and select from among them, those whom they consider best qualified to advocate their rights and liberties as a Nation, and know what laws .re meet conducive to their happiness and welfare as communities. These men are the immediate representatives and servants nf ?. People; the People have the right to instruct them upon all subjects in which they are, in any degree, interested; they have the right to inquire into their oflickil 'proceedings, and to call the in to an account far any mal fiasenre in office. How important then, it is, when men come forward and announce themselves as candidates, for office, that the public should know v,bat are their qualifications what their political principles and what their claims upon the sudrae of the people: T;ds knowledge can onlvbe obtained through the medium of a public journal. Fortius purpose, our columns shall be always free and open, for those who may feel disposed to publish stfioi-ircs upon any political measures, in

which (he public are interested: and also.!

to investigate the merits, qualifications, and

claims of anv candidate tin office, so lomu

as they keep wrhin the bounds of decency, truth, and prep? Iriy 1 which we -hall take

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That so much of the public lands as shall hereafter be o He red at public sale, and which may remain unsold at the close of each sale, shall thereafter be olio red at private sale, in parcels, conformable to sectional divisions and subdivisions, until the sale thereof shall be accomplished, at the following, graduation of prices: For one year next ensuing the close of such sale, at one dollar md twenty-live cents per acre; for one other year next ensuing, at one dollar per acre: for one other 3-ear next ensuing, at seventyfive cents per acre; for one other year next ensuing, fifty cents per acre; and indefinitely, thereafter, at twenty-five cents per acre. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for any head of a family, young man over the age of twentvone years, or widow not being the owner ol any land, to demand and receive, from the Registers of the Land Ofiices, and the Receivers of Public Moneys, a written permission to settle on any half quarter section of land within their respective districts, which shall remain unsold for the space of one year, after having been offered at tifiy cents per acre; and if the person, so applying, shall forthwith settle thereupon, and shall cultivate tire same for five consecutive years, and shall be a citizen of the United States at the end of the said time, the said person, upon, making proof, before the Register and Receiver of the district, of such settlement cultivation, and citizenship, shall be entitled to receive a patent for the said half quarter section, as a donation from the United States. Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the Registers and Receivers, for services done under the third section of this act, shall have a right to demand and take, from the party applying for such services, the follow

ing tees: r or a written permission to settl

zens residing there, at the house of Mr. Forsyth, who presided. A number of distinguished guests were present, and every thing was conducted with the utmost har

mony. One of the bitters states that the market at Lnguira was overstocked with American

produce, and business was very dull. AN IRISH ORIGINAL. Bow-street, London. Among the odd fish caught by the watchmen in casting their nets on Friday night, was a Hibernian wag, rather advanced in years, of very surly appearance, but possessing all the dsy ;ood humour joke-cracking disposition ol his whiskey-loving countrymen. On being put to the bar, the watchman was called in to state his charge, which was done ina verv few words. In fact Air. Butler was found dead drunk under the piazza in Ceveut Garden, about 2 o'clock in the morn-

I never v. as much cf an accountant; and if I was myself when I was dead drunk, as the watchman -ays, what I would be saying wonld'nt be doing me much good, for dead men tell 1:0 tales. Sir. R. "What brought von into that state? Mr. Ik I suppose I brought myself into that way by drinking liquor. Sir R. It would have been well if vou had laken yourself home to bed. Mr. B, 'Fore God, you're right, it would have been well ; but there were two reasons against that: fust I was blind drunk, as well as dead drunk, and so I could not see my way; and next, if my eyes were as good as your worship's, I could not see what I bavif t, for the devil a bed myself has nrot at all. at ail. Sir R. Have vou no lodgings. Mr. B. Devil a lodging, your worship, except in the words of the owld song, ;on the cowld ground." Sir R. 'What are vou ? Air. B. Faith I am a prisoner, I believe. Sir. R. I mean how do you get your living?

Air. B. Och! through the blessing of

Providence, to be sure your honor. Sir R. Have vou no trade ? Air. B. Is it myseli ? O, the devil a trade. Sir R. Were you brought up to no business? Air. B. No, by my sowl, I was tenderly reared, and my edication was my only patrimony. Sir R. That sort of money doeshit go far with men of your inclination. Air. B. ?Fore God you're right again, your worship, lor all the learning in the world is of no use at the bar I mean the bar of a public house; barring you back it with the circulating medium. Sir R.

medium.
