Mr.. CLAY Of Kentucky spoke of this
bill as only another attempt to disturb the
land system, which had gone on prosper
ously for so many years. The object of
the old law was to hold out inducements by
an exemption from tax for five years to
purchasers of public lands. When spccu.
lation was rife, as il was when this bill was
first presented, there would have been some
reason in the measure; but at present
there was none. Fevcrs Of land specula-

various projects set on foot in relation to
the public lands !; the effect of this law
would be to take away the great induce.

the public lands-exemption from taxation
for the period of FIVE years. Mr.. C. init
mated that the number of bills in relation
to this subject evinced disposition to take
from the United States all the public lands
as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. CLAY Of Alabama deprecated tho

same footing with the States of Michigan
and Arkansas, as provided in the acts for
their admission into the Union, as to the
right Of taxing lands hereafter to be sold
within their limits. He said the reason
which induced Congress to impose the re.
