| SPRAYED OR STOLEN"
 Among the exploits of the late bfllianfleRslatnre this state, there was trick played which the Tory Democracy have not yet attempted to explain, al relation to the subject, they hope to ste inquiry but we would just " stir them up by way of remem- brance while we allude to the resolutions introduced into the Senate during the late session by Mr. Bald- win, of fNew-Haven, in relation to the public lands | The following are the resolutions:
 Resolved by this. AssembIy-That the Public Lands of the U. S. having been acquired bv inc com blood and treasures of right belong to inc people of the U. s. their common property and that tbe people of the state of Connecticut have deep and important interest therein
 Resolved, That our Senators and Represen,atyes m the Congress of the U. S. be- and they are hereby requested to resist every measure which may tend oepnye the people of the state of Connecticut of their just share of the public lands and to oppose to the ut emost the cesson of these lands the staesin which they are situated, or the giving to those states the peoPie tnereo an undue proportion of said lands to the de!rment of the common right ofthe people of this state" In Senate, lsS7.-Read three times and passed (Slgned F. Fl. MERRIMAN, Clerk.'' l The above resolutions passed the Senate almost unanmously-yeas Is, nays 3-yet strange as it may appear, the resolutions brought up n Me Many think that the Senator of coal memory laid grab on the offensive resolutions but we think it al together more probable that the everlasting great man, the Chair" alias " Judge Tweedle, pocketed them
 
 opportunity 10 act upon them. We think we ful- ly justified in this conclusion, when we look upon the underhanded, unfair and dishonest mismanagement followed up through the whole session by the " Can- ddfan" chairman. Perhaps the Times' knows something about the fate of the resolutions. Will they clear up the matter, and tell what became of them whether they stTaycd away or were stolen

 "We are clearing away the cobwebs and prepar- for he vY,aat tiers, uIl nr to be submitted to Congress at flhe special or may call it the long session Col Polk is here and about speculation about Speaker. My own opinion is that the Kitchen will insist upon .Pok-the Conservatives w in all proba vote for Patten of Virginia. and crcunistances that the conservatives can vote for Polk, and as parties nearly balanced, the impress sion is that Bell is most likely to succeed This am positively ofopinon that he will make very pop ular President when in decided mnority-he will then calmly tolow public opinion, and not require the ad ot those of1clous and meddlng politicians, who ut tery destroyed the most popular that lived, and with him almost ruined the country. Much speculation is indulged in the newspapers as to what the President will recommend in his message. It isl pity that we do not look more to the action of Con- gress and less to the Budget-look more to the preme power of the land and less to the Executive but have reason to believe that you will all be dsap pointed. MT. Van Buren will give us smooth, pali- sibe and cautious message adapted to the times. He will notrecommend Kendall's plan of Sub-treasury Bank, but will be in favor of Treasury notes to be s sued in the ratio of public wants to be received for government dues-not to bear any interest," but to cir culate like bank notes, and be redeemed gradually by the banks now holding the public deposites. It is it's producing immediate relief Facilities and exten- sion will be recommended for bonds now due the gov ernment, and no startling experiments ventured upon the result of elections has checked spirit of speculation on events.
 How the recommencement of national debt will be relished by the people remains to be seen" ", Y, Star. The following article from Van Buren paper in the State of NewYork, (says the Courant.) will shew the feelings and the fears whichone of his newspaper friends in his own State experiences.
 The allegations of the Globe affect indiscriminately the republicans and the Wings Of the city of New York. No distinctions are made, but the anathemas of the acknowledged organ of the administration are heaped with bountifuI hand upon the frmest and most ardent supporters of the President in his native State.
 The supporters of the administration are cooled and ruled the hour, the Globe disdains to profit by the until ascertain whether the popular will does not dictate change ofviews.
 No intelligent man msaguehend the tatal tenden- o the i9ence ,ohich rresaes the administration press at the Capitol We are clearly cf opinion hat tOih such pilot, the good ship of Democracy iu De speedily Dreckod and s precious freight consigned to tOueTS y human agency C6H ul- rect the storm which it is the obvious policy of the Globe to excite nor will it be found in human nature to forgive the injuries the tempest would infict Who will undertake to predict the recovery o the demo- cratic ascendency, if the opposition should succeed at the next Presidential election -@
 It will be prudent to look around and estimate the consequences which have been already induced, and trace them to their causes, as well as ascertain our present condition. The Republican party, as organi- zed under the last administration, haUe lost e States of N Jersey, Ohio Indiana and Georgia. 4 year ago be Rsrpn fu Sn LT0d darnS though by ke o e districts, ae hane ob- tained haf the State delegation Congress- the Wings have aggregate majority of 4O00.

Illinois reatens to tredd in he JoOtsteps of Indiana With eUery Dhere in actiUe operation lending to alienate and dspiyt friends, need be surprised at the Joss o t,co ree more States d- ring he agproaching Congressional elections. With all these lights flushing in its face the Globe persists in course of denunciation against the rights and ir terests of the States and in opposition to the opinions of the majority of the Republican party, which every re1ectng democrat must be sensible can only terni- nate in like results We beseech the true men of the party to consider these views and if practicable, to devise a remedy Otherwise we go down to one com mon and iretrevabe ruin.

 This new, much-talked of Administration paper has made its appearance in Washington. It goes for a good many things says press, cannot go for, but it goes for sensible things, nevertheless. Thus
