LAXP9 TO SETTLERS. - V \ Tiic opinion that the public lands should be regarded chiefly as a source of revenue is longer maintained. The rapid settlement il successful cultivation of them is now justly considered of more importance to our well-being than is the fond which the Bales of them would- produce. The remarkable growth and prosperity of our new States nnd territories attest the wisdom of that leg islation which invites the tiller of tho soil to e a permanent home on terms within the reach of all. The pioneer who incurs angers and privations of a frontier life and thus aids in laying the foundation of commonwealths, renders a signal ser- to his country, and is entitled to it* ape- favor and protection. The laws secure object and largely promote the general welfare. They should therefore be clierish- a permanent feature of our land sys- (lood faith requires us to givefull effect existing grants, and the time honored and bpnificcnt policy of setting apart certain scc- of public lend for educational purposes ; new Slates should be continued.
