late speech of Mr. Badger, in the Senate,
we find the following good natured reply
to a remark of Mr. Hunter of Virginia:—
‘‘My friend [Mr. llunter] was pleasud
to .say on 3’csferday, in reference to a re-
niiirk made by the .senator from New York
as to the narrowing influence produced
upon the mind by occupying the position
as chairman of the Ciunmittee on Finance,
that if the suggestion of the senator from
New Vork was correct, it would be per
haps a hajipy thing to place me at the
head of tliat committee, a« such a narrow
ing influence might not lie amiss upon
wh.-it he supposes to be the pr.du.se libe
rality of my disposition.
“.Mr. President, there are several difli-
culties in tlu* way of my oeeu}»yiiig the
di.'tinguishe.l position to which the parti;i-

fornia, [Mr. C win,] to whose committee

\\ hen men find that they can reap where
they have not .sown, and cut where they
have not lai>ored, they will not be content
without thus n aping and eating. If they
have a right to other jieople’s land, why
have tlu-y not a right al.so it> i.ther peo
ple s meat and bre:id, ;ind cattle and mon-
oy i Let the land be divided first, and
other divisions of pr.>perty will be called
for, and we shall have the !igr:iri;in laws
of Bome re-tnactel with all their licen
tiousness and blooilshed amoiin;st us.
The first lloinan who propos«'d a gratu
itous distribution of lands w;is impeached
for dcmagogueism, and thrown down the
lar|.K;ian liock. AN e h;ive no Tarpidan
llK-k here, but there is another awful
.steep of w hich dcin:igogues have a constant
dread—the steep of p..pular displeasure—
:ind down this we hope to see all who
would corruptly truck off the public do
