a strict construction of that sacred instru

the illustrious Jackson, that no appropria

not be adverse .to there principles. The
ceneral eovrrnirtent as owner of these'
lands, Jike any other properly bolder can
dispose of the same lo uhoin.at such price
nnil in,uch manner as policy mny dictate.
To donate, a portion for t Jin purpose of en
l'aiicinr ibe value of other portion, lias
loiig been infrequent practice. Albany, in
fact, vviih much reason, assert, that these
lands should be ceded lo the Slat' a hen
the general government has been re-en-,
bnrscd for the expense of acquiring and
snrv ej ing them.
Ihil the enquiry naturally arises, wheth
er if even , a liberal grant of land can be
procured, will capitalists invest a sufficient
nnioiinl of their funds irt the work lo com
plete il ? It is confidrntly ( lliongbt they
will, especially if such grant be made I o
a chartered. company upon the conditions,
above suggested, Assurances are already
given from different quarters of the readi
ness of capitalists to invest a considerable
amount, nnd when the1 subject 'shall be
come mora fully investigated, and. under--stood
letter abroad, and the immense (fade,
which hi ust eventually be transported on
this route li foreseen, it is presumed the
slock vv ill he readily taken.
Many well informed individuals ;eonfi
dently believe that ihq trade ol the Pacific'

lo oppose a policy which has been acttd
ort for above ti half a century1. " The pio
neers, lo' w hom the Cotinlry is indebled for
the erection of a great empire in (he west,
are tertaihly entitled lo he treated justly
nnd equitably ; and il was only justice and
eqnify lliey'sought. Very little bail yet
heenj done as a recompense for Ibe priva
tions and labor by which ibis had been ef
fected.", If Congress intends acting equitably to
wards the Slates in whit lithe public land
lie, Missouri may yet ex peel considerable
grants. Ohio has. received for the pur
poses of internal improv ement, 1,180.192
acres, Indiana 1.CC9.S59 acres, and Iowa
lias received 250.000 acres f r the im
provement of the Dcstnoines river be
sides l:er 600,000 grant.
Happily, the action of the present Con
gress indicates a disposition to do justice
(o the western States in this respect. A
bill passed the Senate, granting lo Illinois
alternate: sections for 11 miles wide on
each side of llie route, for the purpose of
aiding in the .construction of a rail road
from the Mississippi lo the lakes, which
w ill probably beome a Jaw, as well as the
hill heretofore referred lo granting lo the
Georgia, Alabama and Florida rail rond
company, the same amount together with
other similar ; bills ; and we again repeat
our belief, that a similar grant will not be
withheld from us if the proper initiatory
steps are only taken to procure it.
. Lei al interests (hen unite in promoting
this most important work. . AH are deep
ly interested in doing so, and more espe
cially ihe agricultural community. They
who expect lo realize profit by the pro
ductions of llie, soil, can. hut , seldom real
ize those expecllionv without ready fa
cilities of taking llieir. surplus to market.
1 ..Anions (lie last admonitions of the, late
Silas Wrigjit jilway o correct in his ob
servation on human actions and human in
terests, he with philosophy, mid truth tie
claresto bis fellow .citizens, that .'the ac
tive stimulus, which urges all forward,
excites industry, awaken .ingenuity, and
'.wings out invention, is the prosptct or
hope of a market for . the poduction of
their labor. The farmer produces to sell;
and the manufacturer alines! es lo sell.
Self consumption oftheir respective goods,
although an. indispensable necessity of
life,, is a mere incident in the mind im
pelled lo acquisition. - To gain that which
is 'possessed is the great stiuggle of la
boring num.: ',.!, i r . 1
