By this net you raise 10,000 men by the act of May last you called for 50 000 men—that's sixty.

Mr. bi charged the origin of, and the pertinacity ia this amend. ment to the politicians, as an abundance of troops. and more than were required, could be had, and have offered to serve, without any bounty whatever. For his land warrant, the soldier would get of the speculators, one dollar, two dollars, five or ten dollars, or twenty at the outside. Mr. Benton said he could not support the bill with ‘his proposition in it. If the Senate refused to atriko it out, he had @ series of amendments to offer in the way of precautions and ards to the measure. He ap- pesled that the army bill be suffered to pass alone; ani Charged the seventeen days delay in the Sonu introduction of this extrinsic matter of the ties.

That they must inevitably fall into the hands | of the speculators. Mr. Corwin followed in a brilliant speech, spyrkling all the way through. Are we todriva a Jew's basicales with the soldiers fighting our battles to take them upon the lowest terms. Is it true that com panies of scoundrels aud villains are already formed to prey upon the soldier? Gan it. be true that your settlers and commissarios aro among the mounest of God's crea tures!

Or are we to consider tho vol unteers as hinted at yesterday, a collection of the filth, and scum anddregs of the country; and that @ man ia not qualified for a soldier, who is unwilling to bea slave!

He said that he regretted the exigencies of | tis war, and this necessity of ceding away eight mil lions of the public lands, just and expedient under the circumstances, as he deemed it to he—ho regretted this necessity, because he could have wished rather that the public domain should be appropriated to the more bene ficial purposes of peace. He deplered the war, and the taxation for a eentury, perhaps to come, of the peor people, of thia republic, that the war must entail upon us; he regretted that the soldier employed to blow out ) the brains of the Mexicans should have to be supported by increased burdens upon the people at home ; that the necessity had come of rasping from the dry bones of verty the aliment that isto sustain their fellow-citizens engaged in the slaughter of a foreign people, But where ‘as the objection to this bounty to the soldier?
