motives OF pOilCy, Wnicn tney are not yet
ready to disclose: but the most strenuous
and violent opposition proceeds from the new
Western States. The Legislature of Indi-
ana has lie clared by solemn vote, that all
the Public Lands within her limits, belong
exclusively to the State, and, more than year
since, instructed her representatives in Con-
gress to procure the acknowledgment of this
newly discovered right. 1t Is believed that
Alabama, or Mississippi, or both, have adopt
ed similar measures. This is or is to he the
ground upon which the patriotic Legislators
from the Western country oppose this meas
ure. They wish for nothing but delay, and
will fight for every inch of the land, till the
last instant of time, rather than submit. If
they are enabled to postpone any action un-
til after another census, their own repre-
sentaiion will he so much increased that
they will be more willing to acquiesce in
something of this kind but they will also
be strong enough to carry any measure that
sordid avarice or grasping ambition may
dictate. They begin even now to follow
the example of another portion of the coun-
try upon another subject, and make strange
calculations of the value of the Union. MIR.

property. But the West is destined, at a
very early period, to assume the sole com
mand and sovereignty and whatever may
he her policy, she will carryit triumphantly,
for her strength will be impregnable to all
assaults but those of justice and reason.
What we are likely to derive from the as
! sistance of these always unvanquished but
often unsuccessful warriors, may be mag
ined from the stand already taken hy the
State of Indiana. There is no resource but
for this Congress to pass this bill, or to pro-
vide some other measure by which the rev.
enue from the Land may he divided among
all the States. those who purchased and

Van Buren, has distanred Mr.. Calhoun alto

which is now increasing in strength with
pro'ligioas velocity, and has already acquir :
ed sufficient magnitude TO he looked upon
by politicians with a curious eye. THIS
party AMI Mr.. Van Buren, are sworn enc
mics. so that whoever gets into its good
graces noC, will have a popularity, daily in
creasing and easily spread.
1t is believed that most of the Northern
men, or most of the late Administl alton par
ty. prefer Mr.. Calhoun. with his kno,cn hos
tillty to some of their measures, to Mr.. Van
Buren, with his unknoWn and uncertain
friendship. 1t is easier to compromise with
an avowed and honorable enemy, than to
fight in the dark with skilful coward in
ambush. Some decisive stand will proba

the meantime, all our speculations come to
the same conclusion as did the old LADY,

this infinite certainty, we make our congee

IL is confidently stated that a large por-
ton of the jackson party have made ar
Engagements, which are in a great state of
forwardness, for the establishment of a
new newspaper in this city. The Tele-
graph is TO be discarded from the confidence
| OF this party. whose intention it is to set up
| the Great Magician, (Mr. Van Buren, as a
candidate for the Presidency, and to push
his Claims per fus ct nefds, with all the vigor
which may be necessary to ensure a sue
! ccssful Issue. The arrangements to secure
the success of this paper consists in the
formation OF committees in every state, and
| IN every county in each state, which are 10
act in concurrence for the promotion OF the
interest of Mr.. Van Buren, and the prosper
ity of his paper. The character the ma
chlnery which is to be employed, betrays
the man TO be supported. Precisely the
same system of discipline is to be pursued
throughout the whole Of the union, which
has proved so successful in the state of New
York. Confederate presses are to be es-
tablshed in all the states, who are TO take
their cue from the lealing journal. and
thus whatever calumnies may be prooogat
ed, they will be carried to every part Of the
union with force which will defy every
attempt at contradiction. Such are the
outlines of this grand scheme so far as il
has been suffered to escape and the conf.
dence with which it is mentioned even bv
the members of the Jackson party them
selves renders it probable, that there is
some foundation for it, and that Duff Green
Is not likely to keep the station to which
party feeling has elevated him.

1t IS most evident that this question con-
cerning the Public Landsis approaching its
crisis, and as it will not be settled without
stirring up all the bitterness of sectional
politicians, until it is settled there will he
no more peace for the country. In cues.

influence, and in this case it is proper that
y should. An individual in his dotage
