I Eastern Lands.
THURSDAY, APRIL 26.-The Senate
| took into consideration, resolution to
ratify and confirm the agreement made
by the Commissioners of this State, and
the State of Maine, and for the sale of
the lands belonging to this State, and
situated in Maine.
| The motion was advocated by the
Hon. Messrs Brooks, Welles, Dwight
and Piekman,; and was opposed by the
Hon. Messrs. Tufts, Doolitae and Par
ker. We have not time to give the
facts and arguments disclosed in. this
debate. 1t was contended on the one
hand, that the bargain. was the best that
could be made at present, with. Maine
that the lands, if retained, would be
| squatted on and dilapidated, and could
/ not be made productive to the Common
wealth while, at the same time, if the
act of separation is to be fulfilled, as
good faith demands, the expenses ofthe
Commission established by that act, for
the survey and division of the lands held
in common, would not fall short of
$4,000 year. That by the ratiHca-
ton of the agreement, this annual ex-
pense would be saved and, at the same
time, as the amount to be paid and all
lowed by Maine, for the lands, will ex-
coed 100000, there would be, instead
of this expense, an annual income of
more than that sum. On the. other
hand, it was contended that the bar
4 gain was hand one for Massachusetts ;
that the lands were worth more than
had been agreed upon; that the tide Of
emigration, which had set So long from
Msine, had turned that she was max
ing rapid advances in agriculture that
| the lands in question abounded in the
mast timber, which was now growing
scarce in other States; that there was
every prospect, that lands in Maine
would be in greater demand; and that,
