By this great public fond, we jnean the -Public Lands. These Lands, by courtesy, raay he ! admitted to belong to all the (States of 1 the jUnton, but In point of strict truthr they are most emphatically the property of the old thirteen States, or rather of those States and sach Stateajas ; may , have been formed oat of the original, thirteen. It . was their toil, or blood or treasurej that conquered or purchased .ihis Tair domain. You - arej well-a-ware that the Union became possessed of large portioos of this most valuable property by Grants from certain of the States, among which our own 4 North - Carolina made - a grant, covering more territory.it lsbefieved jhahj the grant , of any other State. !But the igrajits alluded to were not positive conveyances, that is, they did not vest in the Union what ia common parlance, would be called an absolote estatd in fee simple. There wcie conditions annexed to these grants, by force of which, the Unionas ;iicfa'eraJ6of ihe domain, becaiie ' Trustees . for the - (reapecti ve States, and bound to Luld, manage and dispose of the same according to IheieruiJ of the grants and not otherwise. ! - 1- What then were the! term , of the Grants? They are, familiarly speaktjng, these : That the Union should manage ' and dispose of the lands for the common benefit advantage and rprqfit of the respective States then existing, or such States as might be created opt of the Lands or , Territory ceded. Now, does not every raan1s plain common sense; tell hi or) that the Govern ment of the Union has no ' jborej right to part 'with these Lands, without an: equivalent, in other words, without some payment thereof, to enure to the general goo.d,i.thah any common Trustee has to set at naught' the conditions of hi Trust estate, either by Wasting the estate or making gratuitous distribution of the 6ame, in fee simple, among his friends or his kindred ? Sure ly, surely, among plain honest men as there can be but one opinion, so there Qjgbt to be but one action, and that action should be, to check any attempt at consummating such injustice. - - Let os then indace thepeoj), thank Heaven, in our government, they always; have been the sovreign people, to look to this matter, and they will find " there is no mistake about it." The Public Lands are. Endangered ', they are about to be disposed of, without any payment being even asked for them.. They are to be given away for nothing. Yes we! say forfnothin?, for what owj petty, party advantages, any thing in such ; a case honest men will al or triumphs, to be For proof that it is the intention of the I leadinor men of the presentj Administration to thus tri fle with the public domain, we have only to re fer to the proctedings' of Congress at former Sessions and to more recant proposition now pen ding. - A -.
