THE Equal JUsTIcE OF Loco FocotsM-In the

Mr.. Benton denounced with unusual violence, the
distribution of the proceeds of the public lands
among all the States unconstitutional.
The same Senator, only day or two before, got.

viz: those in which the lands lie.
For our part, as opportuaely put by Mr..
Webster, we do not see why, if it be constitution
allo give away the lands to some few of the States
iii not equally constitutional and just distribute
the proceeds Of the lands, FOR limited time all
the States.
Mr.. Benton made an Intellectual effort to explain
why be had voted for Mr.. Cahoun's project of ces-
sion But it only seemed to conf m the suspicion
generally entertained that he, and such he. ac'
