THE PUBLIC LANDS. The Senate Bill, which /,
considered merely as part of the great scheme tc
rob the "Od Thirteen' of their share Of the Public
l. ands has boen doomed by a small MAJORITY 10 lie
on The table OF the House of Representatives The
delegation from Vermont, Messrs Everett, Slade
Allen and Hall all voted in the affirmative, but we
do not see Mr. Flctchers name in either the yeas or
nays. He probably absent, for good reasons,
doubtless. This vote is consider ed fatal to the
bill, which is not expected TO be called up again at
this session. Once more by the Representatives of
the people has the Administration been foed in one
of Its schemes, and the great bribery fund the public
lands, considered and used ls Van Buren,
and Benton, remains undsturbed Why the
old States apathetic in relation TO their posses
sions? Unless they arouse from their stupid indif-
ference, ere long the millions of acres will be
bartered for Western votes and that too by Pres
ident from one of the tOld Thirteen" Had Clay's
Land Bill, which passed by Congress, and
withheld by Jackson that it failed of becoming
a law, been permitted to have gone into operation,
it appears by report OF the Treasury, that $751;
227 $50, which has been squandered in the Seminole
war, in official extravaganza, and carried off by
Sub Treasurers, would have been distributed among
the people, where it belonged. The States of New
England would have been entitled to the following
sums respectively
Maine, 1705,2O6
New Hampshire, 1,1597I4
Massachusetts, 26O5 744
Rhode Island, Ala S97
Connecticut, 1,270,6S3
Vermont, l,l9S,O5S !
IL the old States true to their interests, they
in common with tho younger members of the con,
iederacy, may yet reap tho benefits of what remain
undsposed of, by adopting the principles of Clay
bill. Let Vermont look at the one million one
hundred and ninety eight thousand which sbeought |
to have had TO devote to useful purposes; but which
has been consumed by extravaganza. Ten year
ago our Government cost $4,000 900 per year; the
last comes nearly up to $40 200, 900.

| FROM New YORK. On the 4th inst. in the New
York Legislature, in joint ballot, several State off
GERS were elected, follows excepting two r.three
scattering Wing votes thrown at each election,
which omitted
Wings. Van Buren,.
For Secretary Of State. 80
For Comptroller.
Bates Cooke, 90 A. c. Flugg, SO
For State Treasurer.
jacob Haight, "a Gerrt Y. Lansing, SO
For Attorney General
Willis Hall, 8S Samuel Beardsley, SO
For COmmissary General
Adoniram Chandler, 80 Henry Arcularius, 60
Thus far the two parties proceeded tremendously
in the elections; but the next day, whch had been
designated for the election of u. s. Senator, quite
different spirit prevailed. The Wings had pre-
viously nominated Nathaniel p. Tamade at pres
of the Senators. In pursuance TO the Consti
tuition, the two Houses separately proceeded to
make n nomination, one Of which, by the same
strument the two Houses afterwards required
to meet and confirm jointly. In the House the
vote was, for Tallmadge; II, Gardner, V. b. 42,
and for Tracy and Granger. The House present
ed MI Tallmadge its candidate. The Senate
in which there is V. %. majority, refused to make
nomination, each V, b. member, according to pre-
concerted arrangements, voting for different can
didate Had three four of them voted for one man
the Wings would have united with them and made
a nomination; but after four ballotungs the Senate
adjourned without making a nomination the
Constitution required il do. So there will be no
election Of Senator in N. Y. this year.

| j. @. ADAMS AND ABOLITION. Last week we
published brief report of MIR Adams remarks in
the House of Representatives upon tho subject of
Slavery and its abolition in the District Of Column
ba. He declares that he is not in favor of abolish
ing Slavery in the District, This position of
Mr. AS. is not new onc--he has for years, if not
always, stood on the same ground; and has repeat
eddy, and once the floor of Congress, made the
same declaration. or course, his "position" ex-
cites wonder in those quarters where his opn-
ions were known, and :hey were we'll known by
every familiar with his history. Hence it is
a matter of some little surprise that the Anti Abo
ionists should grasp readily at his late EXPOSE
ton, and talk of his abandonment of abolition in
a manner intended to disparage the cause. He is
an aboli onist still. And because he deems il in
expedientto abolish Slavery in the District of CO.
lumbia forthwith, il does not prove hm to be pro-
saveryite. There many men Of sound heads
and good hearts who believe he does; yet they
are firm abolitonists. With such, and those who
think that Slavery should be Instantly abolished
there is no essential dsagreement--a mere differ
ence of opinion respecting time and manner--but
none in principle; one party claims to be in favor
of an immediate commence cement Of abolition while
the other goes.for immediate, instantaneous aboli-
ton. Now, slavery is wrong, and wrong should
Immediately be made right, it is acknowledged by
all, yet there those who believe that an imme-
diate commencement to do right, in certain cases,
Is equivalent to it, and rendered expedIent by deli
cate attendant circumstances. Thus we suppose,
stands Mr. Adams; and we not disposed to put
him among the pro slavery party because he
does not entertain opinions coincident with large
share Of the great body of aboliuonists. He can.
not be spared, nor consent to do great
injury to the cause as to attempt to create the
belief that he is not still true friend TO human
rights.

February 4.

February 4,
SENATE. A memorial was presented this
morning by Mr. Strange, of N. C. in the form Of n
joint resolution OF the Legislature of North Caro-
na praying for increase of the coinage Of small
change.
! n: Clay, of Ky. said that North Carolina was
not the only Stae' that in want ofsmall change
for the business Of the community
Mr. Clay said the of this lack of small
change was the Gold Bill, which passed Congress
two three years since. The evil was produced
then. Silver being Of greater value than gold,
gold had been kept in the country and SILVER ex-
ported.
Mr. Lumpkin was for the abolition of shin plas-
ters and the increase of small change in the coun-
try. He wished this subject alone considered.
MIR Benton contended that there was an excess
of gold exported, and he read from doc uments 10
prove the correctness Of his position. He denied
that the Gold Bill which passed Congress in 1884,
placed an improper difference ofvalue on the two
kinds of coin
The resolutions wero then read laid on the ia
BILE, and ordered to be printed
The budget of private bills, passed by the House
on FRIDAY and Saturday, were reported to the Sen
ate.

of Monday last, being the consideration of the
JOINT resolution the subject of Slavery, presented
on that day by Mr. Everett from the Legislature of
Vermont.

Mr. Everett had appealed from that decision, and
the question pending on the appeal.
After some debate of desulory character.
Mr. Bronson moved to lay the question of APP
