RALEIGH, IN. CO. Jan S.
The act Of the Legislature wl6scA will
!gratify yox the most, as il certainly doea
inc, Is the passage Of the resoiusioss On
the subject Of the Public Lands, in the
House Of Commons, to day, by Triumph
amt majority. Ienclose the Resolutions.
They passed without amendment BY q
vote Of Ayes SO, Noes -! The sesoiu-
t,ons were taken up on Saturday. They
were advocated on that day, and BY Mes
|srs. Graham, Henderson, Norcum, Bar
ringer, Craige, King, Hoke, and oehers,
and opposed by Messrs. Haywood and
Bragg. Tho questios would have been
taken on Saturday; but whom the leaders
found, to their own utter ACCOMPLISHMENT,
that they would pass, they refused 10 lei
the question be taken. To-day every ef-
fort was made use of to defeat, or at least
Ito weaken, the force Of the resolutions.
Mr.. Bragg moved an additional resolu-
ton, approviag :he Message Of the Ruls-
dent veeosng Clay's Land Bill: Hs6as
promptly and decidedly negatived. Mr..
Haywood moved an amendment to tho -
cOnd resolution, providing 'sthat tie pro-
ceeds Of the Lands should be SO distribu.
ted as not to give any preference to the
New States, a. ,ras done II Clay's Load
Bill, srkich ,css ueeoed By tie Presidcxs. -
The last clause, which have underscored
you will perceive was intended to weaken
the force Of the resolutions, and ut the
same time that it indirectly approved the
Veto, disapproved the Land Bill. This
was also negatived, but by a
very close vote, 81 to 50. The resolu-
tlons were advocated on the ground that
the States originally cedcd the Lands ~
a trust for the extinction of the Public
Debt, and that as that debt is now paid of,
that the Lands should revert to the States
SC. They finally passed by the ticnall
ofS2 to 30. frt
