 With these and various other tollcs eonaee.; the public land and the revenue, there has been fon hing debate n the Senate, not important for the elo qis1se displayed, but very important trough as il ind- cated the signs of the times.
 In the course of Ii, for example, Mr. seyier of Ar kansas, rather clever chap, though rough maa and not oi the Chesterfield school o De sttfe-and inap ol some little more independence too than the Van Bu- ren men oI the north dare have, le. out little ot what has evidently been long pent ap within. He was angry because the senate by majority of one had refused the graduation part oi hlr Walkers bill. Ad- dressing himself 10 Mir Van Bugen he said
 s.You, sir, have promised to tread in the steps of your llastrous predecessor. But see your friends from ihe old states voting against the gradslaan winch your predecessor has promised the new states they should have. Friends sir, whom is sup posed, over whom when you choose, you can haze control Sir he continued, s'he new states will not be deaded now. They have been trfed with long enough" Mir. Fan Buren heard all this. He was promenading up and down the oggia of the Senate chamber. Mr. Van Buren will have rod in pickle for such sauey fellow Mir. Seyier. When inc Senator gets the Ne@Yor polish en- te will not dare talk thus, and the Senator is ittle wild as yet He is not quite broke ia Yam fllreu will soon haze tasso about his neck, and tame hm tie Spanatds do wild horses on the vast pfairies of the South
 Again, la the course of the debate HIr.

 Mr. Seger said that if ihe land bill was not passed and there vas likely to be surplus revenue, he would vote for hif Caihouns new distribution law. Bank treason this again.. That curious man. Dr. Niles of Connecticut, whose speech o half ali hour in length listened 10 with attention, also sadfor the life of me l cannot tell whaI but believe something Ike this, that he was against surplus, but if there was surplus he would redaee the tati Irher but he would pass he land blI first.
 The fae of the land bill Is, therefore, very doubtful Some of inc Senators from he uew states will not vote folIt unless the graduation principle is n. Mf. Moore of Alabama and air Ewing Of Illinois for rxan,pe.- Mr. Walker wte has 1t under lis charge is not just the right kiAd of to force such an important bill along.9
