lous, because xntircly foreign to the ques
tion, and are only wrung, in for personal
political tuncomb." Upon the principles
' involved in those issues in a practical form,
cr.f'ct the proper time and place," there
is '. net difference cf opinion sufficient
among cur citirens to create even discus

;tion, are to be found zealous politicians of
ell parties, who, locking beyond individu
al egrandbernent, or paltry political dis-
' . tbetien, are governed by desires to pro
note the best interests cf the country. .
i- The fear of lands granted for the uses
cf the new State, being held"above Con
gress price, so they can neither be claim
. cr entered by actual settlers;" is purely
imaginary, and evinces great lack cf in
. formation on the subject. Are not the
lands when donated, placed immediately
tt the ' diposal and management cf the
' pecple cf the new State? Most certain
.ly they are. If increased prices are
placed upon the lands, the people interes
ted will do it; and we rather think they
' will be wise enough to pursue a very dif
ferent course. "What has been the course
