sionaI Proceedings, under the date Of Tues.
day, Jan, ), providing for the gradual re.
ductlou IN pace, aud Hnal surrender of the
Public Lands 10 the new States. Since
then, We perceive, that the Globe" has
taken up the subject, and is urging the pas.
sage Of the bill through Congress. And
what argument, think YOU, kind reader, is
adduced by this organ Of the Van BureL
parry, IN support OF the bill I! Why, that
General jackson has recommended it !
Whether It's provisions are Just or unjust,
right or wrong, Is lmmaieral Whether
the effect Of Is passage will be to depopulae
and run the old States or not, is dee med IN.
worthy ot a thought Gen jackson wants
the AeE States 10 have the lands, and his
tege vassals are given to understand, that #
they vote against tt, they d. so at the risk
Of offending the President. Who would not
rather be a dog, aud bay the moon, than

The Laad Question. We hope 10 one
of our readers will suffer Mr.. Claws re.
marks on presenting his Land Bill, to es.
cape his notice. They are eloquent and
impressive, and iorcibIy set forth the adyan,
tages which the States would derive from
the consummaton Of this important inca
sure. To no State could it by any posi-.
blIlty be of more advantage than to North
Carolina. Depressed IN every respect with
an empty Treasury with too little public
spirit to repIeuish it by the means adopted
IN other States; almos; totally destitute OF
fund for Education or Internal Improve.
ments Here are the means TO place US
above want; 10 educate tens of thousands
of youth who are now totally ignorant, and
must remain so-lneans 10 which our State
is unque>tioaably entitled under the com.
pact by which she surrendered her territory
for the common good. And vet the mad.
ness of party has for years prevented North
Carolina from claiming her share of this
treasure. In our las, Legislature, as be.
fore, the Van Buren, party rejected resolu.
tons which asserted our right TO It, and
would have contributed TO its procurement. .
But we rejoice in the belief that it is the
last Legislature which will be under the con.
troll of that party. The new Constitution,
BY securing to the large counties their prop. /
er representation. will save US from any fur /
Their evil Of that kind.-FaycttectHe Obs .
