lies at the root of the amendment of the
Michigan. That difficulty drf not strike me tot
when the amendment was suggested, but I
auialiwl that it ia one whieb is filjitll fatal tn the
proposition. There must be sowe offieets appointed by
ihia government to Mta theh bouiidaues, 1
they could be understood by all the miners. and SO
that each one way know that be is
own land. I do not know. then, upo? the whole, ttot
any system can be better than the one devised and in
eerted ui the bill. It will a?.werths purp^. The
machinery is not complicated, and it will enable the in
dividuals to define their nghta in the tors* place, and
then, at any time afterwards, to protect them. Bat this
thing lends *o Una i We are now in the way of determin
ing the question whether we are ever to realise anything
from the sales of these lands or not. That, t think, wiR
be settled in this bill. A? short as the time i* in which
we have to arrange it, either we settle the natation
whether we will ever have anything lor the* lauds, or,
if we do, whether we must eell them to indi?id??l pur
chasers, and thus get them out of the hands of the labor
ers into the hands of large propeftyjie^era. or lease
them to occupants. Now, if we sell ihem, they go into
the bauds of property - holders j because the poor man
Mils his placer, and the rich buys it, until, by and-by, all
the lands will tie owned by a few. Thai will be the
necessary consequence. I think there is but oae other
mode resorted to; and that id, to lease the mines to the
laborers, and let them hold tbein in that way. By this
arrangement we will make something out of them.
Either we must do this, or we must do as 1 have already
stated?sell out the lauds, and make something out of
" l'concur'in the opinion expressed by the senator from
Michigan, tbat the United States ought not to accumulate
a fund out ol auyihing of this sort. We have no busi
ness to accumulate funds in this way.. But there is no
possibility, so far as can see, of our doing it. We are
in debt, deeply in debt, and we who are here shall none
of us live to see the debt we now owe puid. It is a ques
tion if even our children ever see it P*'"-. l?>e strong
nrobiibiliiy is they will not. Now, we ought, as far as
possible, to keep down the national debt of the country,
and I do not think we ought to give away the valuable
property out of which money can be made, and out of
which it oujhl to be made, and levy a heavy buri-en
upon the community to sustain the operations of the
government. We must incur heavy expenses to regula
ting these mines themselves, and in supi?orting tbe gov
ernment of that country. That ia our chief resource-at
least it may be such il it be properly applied i and i see no
mode of aiH?lying it at all, unless something like the mode
1 have suggested, leasing the lands for a portion of the
gold that would be deiived from them?leaving them in the
hands of individual laborers?or else to sell the land and
throw it into ibe handa of monopolist*. ?

heretofore, and 1 believe we shall fee this all paid before
10 Mr ^SAVING. But we have not, in times past, been
spending #50,000,000 annually, aa we are now. 1 ihink

"OoL Hari ruN an mestaaNVLAi. osuasis ? In the Into **l,

It does not deny that Mr. Beuton is to be a presidential eandl
date, but oi.ly tune. that a paper started to support env
particular person for that offioe is not likely to do any good.
It nowhere conveys a willingness to forgive the *anll-Boii
tonnes,' if they will only return to tbe fold, but it ?vows a
determination to hold them at defUiioe. The State ol Mis
souri, he says, Is given to the Whigs this year, but this Is
not likely to last long, and that 'the ensuing elections will
give them (the 'true democrat-,' as they e*H themselves)
their proper plaees in the ranks of the whigs, and will free
us from them lorever, and will leave us stronger than ever.
This letter, by ibe way, is addressed to John omlth, who,
it appears, lives in Ot- Louie. Thus John's dotnicli Is at
last known."?Bjiltawr ft**.
We shall pay our tespecta to thia notable personage us
soon as we can spate the space from more important mat
ters. Our columns have been too much crowded for
several days with the proceedings of Congress for us lo
obtain u much room aa our expos* may probably re
quire. How strangely ignorant is this opinionated sen
ator of the position which he occupies in the eyes
of the democratic party?("w*," as be professes to speak
of them)?how "fallen never to rise again!" It is
strange that he should talk of being a democrat! Look
at the mischief he has inflicted on the party in the State
to wboae favor he is so much indebted for the distinc
tion lie has enjoyed. He has disorganized thai party in
Missouri. He has, by his vagaries and follies, con
tributed to throw three of the congressional dis
tricts into the hands of the whigs. The only ser
vice he has rendered the democracy of Missouri is, that
by pulling down the temple itself, he has drawn tbe
fragments upon his own head! As to the presiden
tial election, (the word "again" looks to that event,)
we state frankly that if we had done no more du
ring the campaign to carry the democratic ticket than
the senator from Missouri, we would blush even to
speak of the presidential election at all. Is it not a modest
and a graceful thing for this gentleman to speak of the
democratic party, and the necessity of preserving it, who
has done more to injure it than any politician living, and
whote unslatesmanlike speech in 1844, struck off by
thousands, and scattered throughout all the land, was
employed by tbe whig orators upon the stump ax tbe text
book of their speeches ?
"O wad some Power the giftiegie us,
To see oursels as others see us !
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An' looluh notion;
What airs In dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
And ev'n devotion!"
The New York Globe thus touches up this nondescript
politician:
" Ma. Beuton.?This gentleman, having been rejected
bv the people or his own State, is enrcraraged to appeal to
the people of the United Siale., and has recently, as ap
pears by his letter j>?st published, taken the Held lor the
presidency. Haviug been repudiated by tbe democracy o
Missouri, it is dtlBoult to ascertain upon what bu hopes ol
SUCC JSS are founded. He has been acting during tho great
er part of tbe present session of Congress in conjunction
with Messrs. Hale, Seward, Cbase & Co , endeavoitng to
defeat the settlement of tho slavery quostion. He is now
strongly in favor of starting a new organ at Washington,
having no hope, of securing for his support any ol tbe ex
istina democratic presses. It U quite evideut that hi* de
signs ere hostile to the welfare of the democratic party. Ho
disorganised and broke it down In Missouri, end f. now
evidently desirous of destroying IU union throughout tbe
United Stales."

i The first arrest une'er the fngitlve slave bill recently
I passed by Congress wa. made In this city to-day. It ap.
p, ar. that a lady of Baltimore, Maryland, named Mary
Brown, owned a number ol slaves, among whom was one
named James Hamlet, wbo took it into bis bead to Uee to
New York, two year, ago, since which time he has been
living in this city.
Mrs. Brown gave up all hopes of reclaiming him, but, as
won as poslble after the passage of tbe act referred to, she
instituted measures to secure him. She sent on proofs of
ownership, end a warrant was issued for the arrest of the
?lave yesterday. Mr. Brown, the deputy marehal, took the
matter in hand, aad look him into custody in Water
He'was immediately conveyed before Mr. Gardner, the
United Stales commissioner, aud bis identity proven by
Mrs- Brown's son and .on In-law. An order wa. Immedi
ately Issued f >r his return, and in all probability he is now
on bis way to Baltimore.
When Hamlet was arrested, he gave a signal to a num
ber of oolored persons in the neighborhood, and, but for
the presence of a number ot officer., be would have been
taken from the deputy mar.hal by foroe. There Is very
great excitement among our oolored populatiou on the sub
ject, and several hundred are now around tbe Toombs,
imagining that Hamlet 1. confined tbe-e.
As soon as the decision a as rendered, be was locked up
in the grand-jury room, and the negroes in the neighbor
hood ol tbe ootumiaeionei'. office were put on a wrong
