It was the duty of the (iovennncnt so to manage i.sailaus, as to increase, in the greatest degree, the happiness of the people; and connected with the public lands, this could best le done. by inc teasing tne means ol becoming fre eholdeis, to those who are already in the country, increasing facility to the emigrating classes of the old States; to the suns of industrious fanneis and mechanics of the. f .1,1 S? -ito 1 1 if mi lit' mfl'!1rv iwl enlemnst-- ' 1 7 w!ll,1' 'i,n'-'re ol ;i''lK'u w:i u' 11 hi i-;i :i here ol .action was too much eoeli,'etI ' ?,:it(,!i- 1101 T' tal to In come latmers, or manuiaciuiers. r merchants, there. .Such men as have e mrgv enough to chai;g country ami e hmate, ami to en'er up u new tlieatres of life.
