ZotiicoFFERSec'ry 2 TIIE CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA ING LR caution" EXTRA I SUPERLATIVELY ridiculous as it will undoubt ly appear to manyfyei Quackery has taken upon itself the assertion that Frederick Brown ot Philadelphia is the only one in tins broad laud who possesses the right and the amazing most astonish two-ability requisite in making of the Couceutraied Essence of Jamaica Ginger winder if he po-sees the only right aud the only atn'ity ta make the Essence i Lemon Pshaw Such nonsense wilt not do but in view of the alarming attitude ot Mr ag 'nt it may perhaps ecome necessary to call a convention ot Druggists from ail parts ot the Union to take into cousuteration the extraordinary i assumption made Dy the agent in behaff of Mr Brown viz: that he poesse ihe only right and the only ability to make a concentrate essence Should such a convention take place we have no doubt that the result of their deliberations Mould be the coniine incut of tlie agent aud the eoncoctor immediately or as luou as caught iu a lunatic asylum ereor we would caution the public against this attempted fraud of Brow a Ac Ashmead and at the sametirnc to withhold tlie usufruct of the soil from Its citizens taa cannot five wi-bout the use of the soil and Uv-noient cannot ia compliance with first principles nLhholJ the xenlials of Me fom the people The svwnment whose is directed against these irst principles is making war uoon tlie great scheme of Deity hi mss If and reducer its operations to prne-ical infidelty If the legidation of government was na le to conform those great first principles which ft at the foundation of ah things there would be no tn vre wars no more famine no use for armies and aviei3 no more revolutions and rio more strife 11 legislation could be made to take tins direction we n'ght hail ii as the beg lining o1 Millennium morn nen we should ve peace on earth and good will mmg men The contrary has been the history of gnd-iUoti upon this sat ject throughout the Christian a id Pagan world the great obleet seems to have ro either freon igworaueeor design perhaps trom mih to vio'ate those great pi mciple- to obstruct Lnuede and to turn ajndc and thereby defeat the ohjtct God himself violations necumu-ite a ach to such an extent that they cau be borne na longer then it is that those original principles resume tlieir course and tie eoBaeqiieiee is the overthrow of monarchies revolutions aristocracies and (be crumbling down of yotten and corrupt nasties Mr knew there were some that looked upon re-s Vs as special Providences 1 As to the correctness ol tifHe would not cw undertake discuss but was inclined lo think that in most instances they might be tracer! back to their causes am show most conclusively that it wa the mere working out of principle VVe might take a case to illustrate Go to any one of those countries where the soil has passed into the baa 'sofa few and the mass of the people have become hern tenants and cultivators of the sod for an inflated a-d hearties landed aristocracy and when famine comes upon the land the first that suffer for bread are the very hands that piodueeit lienee we see that the withholding the use of the soil Irorothe actual cult vator is violative of one of thoe principles essential to human existence and when the violation reaches that point at hich it can be no longer borne revolution begins and those principles are partially or entirety restored He said the remarks he had just made were a di-go ion gnd not intended in the order tn which they bad occurred he would now eturu more directly to the line of his argument There was an objection existing in the minds of some lo disposing ot the public lands as proposed in the bill because it was pledged for the national debt This objection when examined had no foundation in reality Notwithstanding the proceeds of the sales of the public lauds were pledged Air the payment of the public debt in the law approved on the 28ih of January 1847 Ihe resources of the whole Treasury were pledged and the mtere-t and the principal of the debt were paid out of the Treasury without regard to any particular description of lurid The action of the Government provyss most conclusively that this lund was not looked to as the means of paying Ibe national debt Ou the e'eveuib ef Eebruary 1847 the law was approved gracing this very land tn the shape of bounties to all those who entered tlie service of Ihe United States in the war with Mexico and so far as this objection concerned he thought he might rest the argument here but he would take another view of the subject for the pur pose of satisfy ing that portion of soeiety who measured everything by dollars and cents and at the same time to remove every possible objection to the Government acting in bad laiih so lar as the pledging ol the public lauds was concerned for the public debt If this bill sha'l be passed into a law and earned in to successful operation 1 wll greatly enhance the value of the public laud and increase the revenue from that source He said there were million' of acres of public land that were lying in the Stales and Territories wholly unproductive and under our present system would be so lor hundreds of years to come On the oilier hand we had a large number of cuizeus who were wdhout profession and owned no laud and were compelled to rent from others or become day-laborers or be crowJed into the large mauufdcturingestablishmen's to toil for their daily support We then see that we have the men and at tliesam time we have the soil separated they pro duce buf little so far as Government is concerned The man that is poor makes but little eonsrquently he has to live upon the bare necessaries of lle and none ol the luxuries Under our impost or tariff system he contributes a very small portion if ahy-thinglolhe support of the Government On the other hand the soil without the cultivator produces nothing But by bringing the cultivator and the soif in contact you increase the production of both and thereby add io the creative power of the Government As I before remarked the man without sol pays but little to the support of Government under our rev-nue system but by giving him a hundred and sixty acres of land you increase his ability lo produce and increasing his ability to produce you increase his ability to buy aKo and as you increase his ability to buy you will not only induce luin to buy more of the necessaries of life lor support ol hi family but even to indulge in many of tlie luxuries lor man in the main will mdulgr in the w-e of nece-saries and comforts in proportion lo his abibty to buy them I shall assume as a basis which is far short of rea'ily that an individual owning a home-lead is belter able to buy one hundred worth more of the necessities and forts of life upon which ibe government lay and collects a duty than he was belore owing it Our present revenue system pou this additional hundred worth purchased by the innvir uallan a tax cf thirty per cent which would be thirty additional dollar paid into the Treasury In seven year will be perron ed that upon this basis the

visionary but shci the proiKMiUon was first submitted tu the Congress ol the Uuued States the public mine has to some extent been directed to it and in the same pro portion ns impracticability seems to have given way for many uow who th a stood off and refused to give the tn -asuri their aid areamou is ablest and warmest supporteis In lact there seems tow to be quite a struggle going on among

bills a1 for tne purpose of carry mg out be provisions ol tin- project now under consideraiion Mr said at the proper tim-r he would offer an amendment to the eaptiou of tne bill which he sent to the table and had read as billows to provide a homestead ot one hundred and sixty acres ol the public domain for every tuan who is a eit'zeu of the United rtiat-s or any widow who is a mother of a ehild or children who may become permanent occupants and cultivators Ot the Mr continued by saying that this amendment made the title of the bill complete that this was tfe original christening of the proposition now under consideration and had been in rely hanged by himself tu a bill toeucour ge agriculture and for other purposes He said that be bad made tins explanation ibrthe purpose of letting the House and ibe country know that this was nothing more nor less than Ibe naked dean propositionrio provide every man who is the head of a family with homester ol one bun dred and sixty acres of land thereby encouraging agncul ure mcreasi commerce and widening the market for the manufactured articles of the country but be did not intend to enlarge upon this branch of Ute sui ject in tins connection but he intended to directly up to the consideration of the general principles of the bill And by way of prelude he would introduce some auihonty which he would have read at the table which authority he thought would be questioned by none and which be iuteuded to make the pedestal upon which he intended to erect hts superstructure He then sent to the table and had read the following auihoriln Leviucus-cbap 25 verse 23 land shall not be sold forever fvr the land is for ye are strangers nnd sojourners with Mr then had read from 31 Valid on the law of nations From Vattel on the law

forms the surest resource and most solid funds of rich commerce lor the people who enjoy a happ- climate" 2 affair then deserves the utmost attention of Government 1 he sovereign ought to neglect -no means of rendering the land under his obedience as well culti vated as possible He ought not to allow either immunities or rivate persons lo acquire largo tracts of land to leave uncultivated These rights of common which deprive the proprietor of the tree liberty of disposing of his lauds that will not allow him to farm them and to cause them to be cultivated in the most advantageous manner these rights 1 say are contrary to the welfare of the State and ought to be suppressed or reduced to just bounds The property introduced among the citizens does not prevent the having a tight to take the roost effectual measures lo cause to-e whole country to produce the greatest and most advantageous revenue possible The Government ought carelul to avoid everything capable of discouraging the husbandman or of diverting him from tlie laliors of agriculture Those taxes those excessive and ill-proportioned impositions tlie burden of which falls almost entirely upon the cultivators and the vexaUons they suffer from the commissioners who levy them take from the unhappy peasant the means of cultivating the earth and depopulate the country Spain is the most fertile and the worst cultivated

present system and the one proposed This will hold good in principle and will apply to each quarter section as well as to the aggregate- He repeated that by gtviug a quarter section of land to the honest cull i vaior that in tx hundred years he government would derive twenty-four thousand and fourfundred dollars (£24400) Upon this basis of calculation in six hundred years the Government would draw from this ource by the operation of its reveuuesystem into tbe Treasury hundred and nineteen bi lions six huuored millions of dollars (219 600 000 000) which would be an amount sufficient estimating the expenses of Ihe Government at fifty million ot dollars per annum to carry tt on for four lhou-a-d three hunded and ninety-two years He said that th expose ought to satisfy every one that instead of violating the plighted faith of tbel Goverumentil was enlarging and making more i aluable and enabling the Goxermnenl to de rive a much larger amount of revenue 4o meet any and all of

policy for the Government to pursue while at the same time it ameliorated and elevated the condition of the laboring man He said he would present the subject in another point ot view which would show that ihe proposition was not mere theory but emirely practicable The Goernmeut owns tniujh land to give every qualified voter tn the States three quarter sections each He had procured a staterm nt Jor

NEW" MEXICO Surely it was a direct interposition of Providence that saved us from the calamities which would infallably have befallen this nation had the Clayton Cabinet scheme of bringing New Mexico int the Union been matured and carried into effect The Galveston News says Colonel Nichols just from Austin states that Colonel Monroe acted in strict conformity with his instructions in getting up a convention for the purpose of forming a State Government for the Territory of New Mexico For the truth of this statement we needed not the assurance of' Colonel Nichols and the Galveston News The same statement is sustained and boastfully repeated by the Washington Republic and the principal fee3oil papers of the North But Colonel Nichols mentions a curious fact with which until now we were not acquainted namely that Colonel instructions were brought to him by Colonel McCall who passed through Galveston two or three months ago: that before the arrival of Colonel McCall the people of New Mexico had been ordered by Colonel Monroe to make no opposition whatever to the officers ot Texas in establishing and enforcing civil juri-diction throughout all the Territory lying east tf the Rio Grande secured to Texas by the compact with the United States when she was admitted into the Union Neighbors found the people C5anta Fe quite willing to acknowledge the authority xas But as -soon as -Col Mn oe received the despatches brought out by Col McCall he issued his proclamation for convention to frames Stale constitution and the tables were turned upon Neighbors the Commissioner of Texas He was disarmed of authority at once and rendered hel lens Th United Slates commandant ot the post Colonel Monroe by a nod had tn de the enlightened and patriotic 'population acqmeuce the gitimate je-igt of Major Neigh mrs to extend the civil jursJictioii of texas over and now he wheeled about and by tns omni oti jit nod paralyzed the functions i the Texas Commiesiotier and ordered the Mexicans and Indians who inhabit that region to send delegates to a convention ie oIot the new territory in truth is under thejoi control of the United Mates Com andint the Quarter-Master and Commissary Tne two last mentioned officers between ih in expend annually about a million of dollars in subsistence and supplies for the troops They regulate the prire of labor of cattle and of provisions and they keep every man of note under their influence by the magic of contracts It Is said the Quarter Master was among the busiest in electioneering for members of the Convention and that if ail things turn out according to his wishes he wilt be chosen a tederal Senator from the new State Should this caricature of an American State be admitted into the Union as it now stands and under the influences that now control its population it will be nothing but a creature of the Executive subject to the or-ders and indirect control of military officers who receive their instructions immediately from the War Department Prbap we ought to speak of these things ia the past subjunctive as what would have happened if the Clayton had not been broken up We trust they cannot and will not be permitted under the

Germans and modern Tartars who having fertile countries disdain lo cultivate the earth and choose rather to live by rapine are wanting to themselves and deserve to be exteimmated as savages and pernicious beasts There are others who avoid agriculture that would live only by hu ting and flocks This might doubtless be allowed in the fir-t ages of the world when the earth without cultivation produced more than was sufficient to feed iis few inhabitants but at present when the human race is so greatly multiplied it would not subsist if all nations resolved to live in tliat manlier Those

progress ot our Government for the lands they occupy paid into the 'I reasury a large proportion of forty rod lions of dollars and ot the revenue received therefrom but a small portion has been expended amongst them When to the disadvantage of their situation in this respect we add the consideration that it is their labor alone that gives real value to the lan Is and that the proceeds arising trom their sales are distributed chiefly among States which not originally had any claim to them and winch have enjoyed the an- divided emolument arising from the sales of their own lands it cannot be expected tha the new States will remain longer contented with the present policy alter the payment of the public debt To avert the consequeuces which may be apprehended front this cause to
