On the l9tlr of Nov. the resolution as above
given and passed by the House, was taken up in
the Senate, when
Mr.. Cobb a loco oco Senator from Orange Co.
moved 10 lay il on The table; ayes, 10, all locofocos;
noes 10, all wings; the motion was defeated by
the casting vote of Lieut. Gov. Camp.
MIR. Egerion, another loco foco Senator from the
same county, then moved to amend the resolution
so as to read that the public lands shall be sold
to actual settlers, and to no others, and the pro-
ceeds disposed OF thus abandoning entirely The
light and tile Of The StGtes, and leaving the ques
ton of the disposition of the proceeds untouched.
Ayes 10, all locoiocos; noes 10 all wings. This
motion was also defeated by the casting vote of
Lieut. Gov. Camp.
The question then was put-Will the Senate
concur with the House in passing The first resOtu-
tion? aud on this question the ayes were 10, all
wings; noes 10, all locos. The resolution
passed by the casting vote of Lieut.. Gov. Camp.
[See Journal Of the Senate 1882 pages 1872 1873

course, without division. We append the names

question was put, and the calling Of the roll com
menced, 10 Stephen S. Brown called upon the

the design to reduce the number OF members be-
low a quorum, and thus defeat the majority Of the

Sundry motions to adjourn were made and put,
and finally, at IS minutes 10 O'Clock, the House

Resolution Of Congress, Oct. 10, 1850.

"Rcsolved, That The unupprupriated lands that

the common benefit of The United STATES, Same,
PAGE 33S, also in "General public acts of Con-
giess respecting the sale and disposition of the
public lands" published by order of Congress in
1898, page Z. In this last volume the several
deeds Of cession may also be found, page $751;
The deeds of cesson from the several states,
which held lands under the charters from Great
Britain, confer the title to all the public domain,
save what was acquired by purchase of Spain; Il
portion now comparatively small. In what do
these deeds of cession vest the title? Ii is TO he
noted that all, with the exception of North Caro-
linn and Georgia, were executed previous to The
adoption of The Constitution and the formation of
The Union, now known as the Omitted States -
aud hence ;he meaning Of the words United
States" wherever they occur in the deeds, clearly
il the several states Separate, aud independent
soyeregnlies as they werc,) which constituted tie
old confederncy and the several states which
might thereafter join the confederacy. If there
could he the slightest doubt raised on this point,
it is entirely removed by the express words in
several Of the deeds 10y which the title is vested
in the "members of the confederation" and also
in the clause which provides that the benefit of
the common fund shall go 10 g The said stdtes-ac-
cording TO their usual respective proportions in
the general charge aud expenditure" under the
old confederation. TO render this still more clear
we have only to refer TO tho preamble 10 the acl
OF New York, which particularly declares that the
design of the cesson was to give TO those states
which held no portions of the public domain, an
equal share or benefit with the rest, and thus in
duce them TO join the confederacy. In fact, there
never has been any difference of opinion on this
subject among those who were parties to and ac
tors in The transactions upon this subject, anterior
10 the adoption OF the constitution. And did tn,
constitution change this title? Not at all on III,
Contrary the 9th Aarticle confirms that title, il
