Proof.
'We call for proof, that the Administration
insist on surrendering the public lands to the
Stales in which they are situate." &aniard
We will givayou proof. We wilt ssy in the
fiistplaee, that the Whig party in Congress hss
been, from lime to time, struggling, for the last
lea yoara, to ps9-ahiU,povid lag fotfU dis
tribution of the procee4s of If-s public lands.

passed, whieh had this beneficent object in view;
General Jackson strangled in its infancy, by the
application of the Presidential Veto. The se
cond bill of lho same oatuie, which was passed
by Congress, General. Jackson' strangled by
placing it in his breeches pocket, 'd by keep.
I !. .1 til.... anM.AH.n Tl unlit .A.,
Congreee had adjourned. Martin Vaa Buren baa
promised to tread in lha footsteps of Geneial
Jackson, and the fast of his not having except,
ed the policy of distributing the public lands
among the States, out of the eases in which, he
will pursuo
Jackson, is of itself evidence, that hs ia against
the distribution of the publie lands among lha
Stales. In the second place,' we will say to the
Standard, that the party in Congress, which
supported Mr. Van Buren, has, with a fern ex
ceptions, been always atrenoously opposed to
tha distribution of he public Isnds smong the
Slate. Tnesame party haa supported pre-emption
Laws, whiuh are calculated to effect, in the
eoorse of time, a complete surrender of the pub
lie lands to ilia States, in which thssa lends are
situated. In th third place, wa ssy, for tbe in
formation of the Standard, that lha whola tenor
of Mr Van Duren'a opinions on the publie Isnds,
ss set forth ia hia Annual Messages, hss been
in favor of the pre-emption Laws, and to favor
the pre-emption Laws, ia to advocate a surrender
dfllrt pubfe'domaW te I States, in whkh
may be aiujated. Wf say to we BUBoare, w
tha fourth place, that it baa been the poliey of
the Van Borea party, whilst K bad the ascen
dant ia tha LegislaUre counsels af North Caro
lioa, to prevent the diauibutioa of Ue public
lands amooglhe Statea. It has been tha policy
-of the tame party, in every other State; and it
appears lo us thai there are but two parlies ex
isting with regard to the disposition of lho pub
lic lands. There ia the party which favora the
equal division of the proceeds of the public lands
mii all tti &iatM Ia lbia nolirv Mr. Van
u&lhiren la nowsndklwiy haa been op posed .
There is tha partv, again, which favor the pre
emption laws, which system of laws involves
the progressive, but eventual surrender of the
public land to JJie States in which these lands
are situated. Of this policy Mr. Van Uuren is
now sad has been for many years a supporter.
The doctrines contained in hii annual messages,
will shew the truth of what we here assert and
the voles of the great body of his supporters snd
bosom friends in Congress will likewise shew
it:
Bat again, if Mr. Van Buren is not In favor of
the surrender of tha public lends to the States
in which these lands are situated why does he
not come out st once and aay sot He has pos
sessed abundant opportunities of doing so for the
laat few years, but instead of this we find him
standing forth as the open and zealous advocate
of the pre emption laws. What is the purport
of these Iswsl Why, they propose to reduce
the price of the publie lands year after year in
such a way that the progressive system of re
duction, will, after a little, nave swept all right
to' demand . any sum for the lands at aH, and if
landl fb the States In which they are situated, 1
we are at a loss to apprehend what other meas
ure can bring about aueh a result.
But further yet. If Mr. Vsn Uuren is friend
ly to a dietiibation of the proceeds of the publie
lands among the Slates why has he not procured
the passage of a bill calculated to effect that be
nign object? He has had a clear majority iu
both houses of Congress at his command ever
sinoe the earliest dawn of his Administration,
The slightest intimation ol a desire on hia part
to have the proceeds of the publie lands divided
among the States, would hsve caused his friends
to pass a law to that effect with ready willing
ness and alacrity. But no; instead of this, both
he' and his frind have been all the time favor
ing a system of laws calculated to operate the
progressive, but total surrender of the public
lands to the States In which they lie. We hope
these proofs will be sufficient to satisfy the
Standard.
