the Pubic Lands, moved that the Com,
mlltee OF the Whole he discharged from
Tie bill providing for the establishment
Ioi two additional land offices in the
State OF Illinois, &c, for the purpose of
having the bill Immediately considered.
Mr. DUNCAN informed the House that
a large district OF country had been sur
veyed, and the pIats filed in the Genes
raj Land Office, and only wanted the
passage of this bill TO be brought into
market. He said that sales OF public
land usually took place in the spring aud
fall; that il this bill could not be passed
out OF its present order on the files of
the house, the sales would be postponed
until fail, which would be equally inju
rlous 10 the interests OF the Government,
and the citizens residing in the country,
who wished to purchase their homes,
and make permanent improvements.
