Iii compliance with .» promise wiiicii .ve
made some days ago, w; have the pleasure
of laving before our readers the following
statement, the correctness of which may be
relied oir respecting the title of the U S. to
the territory east of me river Perdido, in
the territory heretofore generally cailed
VVest.Florida. i lie statement is extracted
from a document published under the au J
thority of an act of Congress, passed at their
last session, which directed a collation and ;
arrangement of the laws, treaties and other
documents relating to the Public Lands.
*' Hie LT. States by the treaty of 1«03
with France acquired Louisiana without any
direct definition of its boundaries, bu as ful
ly and in the same manner as i: had been
acquired by KranC'. from Spam in virtue of
the treaty of St. I.dalbnsuot the 1st of Oc
tober, 1SUQ. Hv this treaty Spain had re- i
trose-dad Louisiana to France “ with the J
same extent that it then had in the hands
ot Spain, and mat it had when France pus- j
stssed it. and such as it should be after the
treaties suosequently en ered into between I
Spam and other states.”
By die grant <jf Louis the Fourteenth to '
Croz.u, dated 14t.ii September 1712, :ill the
country drained bv tiie waters emp* y in.; di
rectly or indirectly into the Mississippi, is
included within the boundaries of L uisi ina..
1 he discovery of that river by the Frvncii.the
general principles adoptetl by the Europe
an nations in relation to the rights of disco
very the publicity of the giant, and the
long acquiescence of Spain, establish the
claim ot the United States to that extent.—
Hut the western boundary on tiie sea shore,
and south of the waters emptying into the
Bed i<iver, is still a subject of controversy
between the tw<> nation-, ; tii~* territory cat
led by Spain - Province of I'axas ” being
claimed by both. The claim of France now
transferred to the United Slates, extended
at least as far west as the bay of St. K r
nard, in virtue of lie settlement in ule there
by La Salle, in 15t>5, in die vicinity of the
river (y.iudal aipe at a time wiien Spain oc
copied no part of the territory ea.i of the

ot LaSalle’s set le.nent, By an arrange,

for the present the Spaniards should not .
cross the Sabine, and that the Americans
shou.dnot extend their settlements as far as

\y acquired also Spanish Florida. The pre- 1
liminary articles ot that treaty were signed i
on the 3d day of Nov 1762; and, on the
same day France by a separate f act, ceded
to Spain all the residue of Louisiana, west j
of the Mississippi, and including the city j
and island (so called j of New Orleans. By
■ the treaty ol 1783 G. Britain ceded to the
U. States all that part of the former colony
of Louisiana, east of the Mississippi, which
lay north of the Slst degree of north lati

fully established by those facts
Louisiana was retroceded to France, * with
the same extent that it then h.ul <n the hands
ot Spain and the territory in question, by I
whatever name Spain chose to tail it, was
then substantially in her hands.
Louisiana was retroceded “ with rhe same
extent that it h«.d when France possessed

Louisiana when France possess -d it ; but I
she never owned that province a sin le day
without that territory, as part of it. For,
as has been stated, she ceded <>n the same

have ueeti written in the very way in which
it is interpreted. But do you wish to see
your Constitution interpreted in such away,
as to lose sight of its spirit-to knock
down the distinction between specified and
general powers, between federal and state
tights? It the Republicans now vote for
the Bank, they will lose sight of the trreut
point on which the two parties “were
first at is9ue-.they will take Fedora!
ground-both parties will concur_and
it will be said that the people have recog
