Mr. Speaker, when this bill ..I h.k- from th. Committee on Pnhlic Land. w e ü J' ' i ivu iw. -. . . - a few days since, with a recommendation that it be passed, the House extended to me its courtesy by postponing the further consideration of it until to-day. I stated on that occasion that I had confidence in my ability to adduce such facts, and to impart such information as would satisfy the House that if there bo merit in a single bill among the series introduced during the present session, embracing the alternate-section principle, there is merit in the one now under consideration. It is for this purpose. - i , that I ask the indulgence of the House for a few moments. I trust that I may ask this favor without being considered obtrusive, for I am confident that no one has occupied less of its time than myself. I intend to be brief, for I am well aware oi the fact that much time has been consumed in the discussion of the principles involved in his bill. I am aware that not only the -nbiect. bur the patience of the House is well nigh ex- - i IV I lU . . aI kn. tfvw..r ma,: C n r .1

It is, to my mind, clearly a question of policy, of expediency, and as such I intend to treat it. By casting vour eye over the map of the country, you will see that the cities of Philadelphia, Colcmbos, in Ohio, Indianapolis, and Terre Haute, in Indiana, and Hannibal and St. Joseph, in Missouri, are nearly on tl.o amo parallel of latitude; a line of railroad on this route would open a direct communication between the Atlantic cities and the heart of the fertile region of the upper Mississippi. Within the next eighteen months that part of this line of road will be completed from Philadelphia to Indianapolis; between Indianapolis and T- ii .

The object of the bill under consideration i to supply this link. From a statement prepared at the General Land On ficc, and now in my possession, it is estimated that about sixty-one thousand acres of land will be granted by the passage of this bill, a portion of which have been in market, and subject to private entry since 1816, and the residue since 1823. They are refuse lands, situated in the middle of a vast prairie, and utterly worthless to thGovernment; but. sir, pass this bill, aid the private en terprise of the country to add this last link to this great national thoroughfare which must in a few years be continued westward to the Pacific ocean, and they will at onee become valuable, and find a ready market at the minimum price ol $2,50 per acre, as tixed by this bill. They will be settled and brought into cultivation by an energetic and enterprising people, who, by their labor itnii indostrv. will add somethtns to the wealth ami urosneritv of the country Thev will no limber lemain ; barren waste, valueless to the Government, ami an obsraHe and barrier to the settlement and improvement f the West. But it is contended that the value of the alternde sections reserved to the Government by the provisions ol this bill will not be increased in value. My experience, sir, compels me to a conclusion directly op- osite. In my State about four hundred miles ol railroad have alraadyl"en constructed. Tne value of real estate immediately contigious to these roads, without a single exception, has been augmented from one to three bundn-il percent., and I think I might safely challenge gentle, men to point me to a single instance where the like re--nit has not been produced by like causes. Let me ask them, would not this principle apply with peculiar force to the ease under consideration? These lands are as rich and fertile as any npon which the sun shines; but situated as they are forming a part of an extensive plain, remote from timber, stone, and other materials for inclosing, building, and other purposes it is unreasonable to suppose that they will be purchased from the Government while millions of acres of lands, equally rich and fertile, possessing all these advantages, can be bought at the ame price. But assure to the purchaser of these lands a facility of access and speedy communication with the markets, and I can assure you, sir, that no lands in the Western world will be sought after with greater avidity. These, sir, are some of llie beneficial effects to be product by the passage o( this bill. I do not exaggerate or over estimate them. I speak from a fall knowledge of the facts, acquired by a life spent in the West; and he who doubts the truth of my conclu sions knows but little of Western people, and the effect of such improvements upon the value of Western lands. ; I. . - . . . hav.j intimate 1 that this road is, in its character. national. I repeat it, r Completed Irom Philadelphia r . . V I. .aiAr.lt at til ha I in Unrrast ill f OtT I I n fil rail. to St. Joseph, it will be the longest direct line of rail road on the globe fourteen hundred mites in length Passing through the center, or nearly so, of the States) of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, a eooniry unequaled upon the face of the earth in its agricultural and manufacturing resources, and all the elements of wealth and greatness about mid-way between the lakes of the North and the Ohio river eon-1 nected by railroads with Boston, New York, Baltimore, and otbr Atlantic cities it will unite with the road from Lor.isv.lb? to Nashville and Savannah ; to Charleston on the South, and by innumerable rosuis with the lakes of the North. By the completion tj this road a communication and trade hitherto unknown will be opened betweeu these distant regiuns. binding th -m together still more closely by the ties pi' interest, and promoting the common welfare of all. Natnre, sir, has marked this as the great overland line of travel from the East I the West. Let me ask gentlemen, if this be not sufficient to stamp it as a work somewhat national in its character? The bill i objected to because the lands sought to be appropriated lie within the State of Illinois, that State having heretofore been liberally provided for. True, sir, these lands are all within the borders of Illinois; there is not an acre of them within the State of Indiana. She received, a few years since, one million six hundred and nine thousand acres ol lana, to aia ner in extending tne Wabash and Erie canal to the Ohio river.

With such a heritage, sir, the result need not be speculative , it could not be other than it has been. 1 trust the bill will pass. If it be in order, I Ml) the previous question. A Consistent Organ. The Indiana Journal, the organ of the Whig party in Indiana, has been making desperate efforts ever since the month of February last, to show that the Democratic nartv was anxious to nreoipi.re the country into . . - , . - . . , , . a war to assist Kossuth in crushing Austria and ac.nev- ... t, rrLing the independence of Hungary. This was done, no: because the Journal believed the Democracy were in favor of anvthing of the kind, but because it thought ii could thereby alienate certain Irish Democrats from the ticket, State and rtatii.nal. which they hal been accustomed to support. 'Ihe Journal, however, appears to have changed its tune. Failing in its efforts 10 convince the Irish Democrats of the propriety of abandoning their old and tried fiiends by the cry of "intervention," it now seeks to array the German, whose sympathies are supposed to be with Kossuth, against the Democracy, on the ground that the resolutions of the Whig National Convention are more favorable to Kossuth and his doctrines than those adopted by the Democratic Convention. To prove this the Journal of the 13th inst. has the following, the tirst article in its editorial column: "The National Era, a strong Kossuth paper, says that the Democratic Convention 'not only refused to adopt the Kossuth doctrine concerning Intervention, but passed a menn. selfish, rolil-hlooded resolve, that, in view ol -- . . ---, . . M, the condition oi trie popular institutions in ttie uid World, it was the duty ol the American people to lake caieof themselves! That is the sum and substance of the resolution. Not a word of sympathy for the struggling millions in Europe not a word of approbation for tne democratic cause or cnarcpions in turope tne wnoie tinmen oi me resuuniun is, iui mj great nniv "i the Ameiican people is, to take care of number one.' "Although it does not like tho resolution adopted by the Whig Convention en the subject, it says ''it is a little more respectable, a little less selfish. It acknowledges sympathy with 'struggling freedom every where,' and admits by implication that we may propagate our j

republican opinions by peaceful and honorable means. , from n big towns, that is all zammon, as we have rebat it is cowardly. peatedly shown, and here repeat, ou the authority of the

"AoiriAi.'onrfinf fnu, an effort it making to induct ths Germain of the country to go against the Whig be- j can of the around assumed bv them in the National Convention, vhen U it acknowledged to be much more liberal than the one adopted by the Democracy." What a beautifully consistent paper is this Whig organ! It tells Irishmen that the Democrats want to unite the United States with England in a war against Austria. It tells Germans, whose sympathies it believe to be with Kossuth and Hungary, that the ground assumed ly the Whig National Convention is more liberal than that adopted by the Democracy-. "Fool who?' Mr. Defrees. Surely not any intelligent man. whether he be German, IiiVhman, Frenchman, or native. Your j uume is as easily seen through as the clearest crown , glass. N. A. Ledger. Democrats of the Burnt District. Is it not lime we were moving in each county, pieparing oiircouniy ticket for the pending contest f It is no ordinary matter to the interest of the Democratic party, and the country alike, tnat the measures of the General Govt rnment, now in forte, as established by the Demo cracy, and working so well for the glory and prosperity 0f the country, be carried into full force and effect. n I If we thus desire rand w at Democrat does not.) we should be up and doing, every man to his post, assist to ! m .L. F - L . . . . . . I. . . , organize, put the names of ur best men on our tickets in each, and every county and thereby contribute to strengthen the general ticket for the State and federal officers, and above all see that entire harmony prevails in sjsjg ranks throughout the district. We have highminded, honorable, worthy, and good men, designated as oar standard-bearers both for National, and State Hicers, and p should, can, and teill give them every Democratic vote, in this lost and benighted district, and assist our brethren in other parts of the State, in rolling up a handsome majority for Pierce and King, Wright and Willard. Call county conventions, and public meetings, secure the services of chosen agents, discuss before the people measures for which we contend, and in ihe result we will not only Pierce our opponents, but make all things Wright.

I know jnst what I think of the course the Gazette has taken in relation to Judge Perkins, and 1 know what the Democracy think of it. Talking is one thing, and voting is another. Judge Perkins will not lose so many votes from the partv vote in this county, as he will pain over the party vote in Wayne county An old friend from the counly ays it is rather strange the Gazette should have made the startling discovery of Judge Pet k ins s incompetency, and wonders why the attorney's, and the press at Indianapolis, and throughout the Tl 1 I . . , i am rattier inclined to think this is the true situation, or cause of the disease with which a few of our citizens have been troubled ; as it is entirely confined to the atmosphere of Monro j county.

There is but little excitement here in politics. The Scott soup is cold ; the Graham bread is mouldy ; and the gunpowder won't burn at all. There is no enthusiasm, but in place of it, a stolid apathy that is startling to even the Whigs themselves. They are called upon to arouse; to wake up; to form Scot t clubs; to brag; to : almost bet j hut like a very sh epy man, they say, oh yes, ' and turn over and go to sleep again. TIMOTHEUS.

As our banner opened no admirably to the breeze it was saluted with three hearty cheers. Three cheers were then proposed for the success of our presidential candidates and given in most admirable and enthusiastic sfvlo. Alter which the congregatfd IJemo craoy retired to the Christian Church and listened to a most delightful speech fiom that sterling. Democrat J. E. McDonald of Crawfordsville. His speech was clas- . sic, beautiful and abounded in the most happy allusions. The political heterodoxy of Gen. Scott was showed up most conclusively. But I must close.

Why , don't be take in Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, 1 and all the rest of the States? He will only induce Whig, who are blockheads enough anyhow, to bet money on Indiana and lose it. The editor hears of j scores of Democrat in this State going over to Scott. Let any dunderheaded Whig comfort himself with such a roorback as that, if he can. It's a likely story that Democrats are going to vote for Scoit in Kentucky, when the Whigs can hardly vote for him themselves; , when prominent and resolute Whigs here and all over ' the State won't stand it, and are going either to bolt outright and vote for Pierce, or not vote at all I The truth is, the Democrats of Kentucky were never more united than they are for Pierce and King, and the wbigs ne.er half as much divided on their ticket. 17- .-öl, ;.u: u.,.u ,..k rr- Qti III i.
