MASSACHUSETTS, TREASURY

The report of the Treasurer Of the Commonw ealth
exhibiting the state Of the finances the first day of
the year. has been printed by order of the Legislature

and the other allowing bounty of IS each 70 the off

have been drawn, although many of the town TIca-
surcrs have paid the bounes. The income of 1S4l

The amount of notes held by the State for Maine
lands sold, considered good, is Sl56,i0l one half

Fund.
The State holds the following funds viz the School
Fund, which is invested chiefly in loans to certain
banks, at five per cent interest," and amounts to $3.50

The Sinking Fund to redeem the Western Railroad

The resolutions condemning, in decided terms,
some of the propositions now before Congress
relative to the public lands, and instructing the
Senators and requesting the Representatives
from Pennsylvania TO introduce and advocate
the passage of bill providing for the dstrfbu-
ton of the proceeds Of the sale thereof among
the several States in the ratio of their represen-
tative population, has passed the Senate of this
Commonwealth by vote Of more than tiro-
thirds, and will doubtless be adopted by the
House. Among the Senators who voted for
their passage were Mr.. Kingsbury, late Speaker
Of the Senate, Messrs. Headey, of Columbia
and SchuylkilI, and Miller, of Adams county,
democrats, and friends Of the present national
administration. In the House of Representa-
tives, resolutions of similar character have been
introduced by Messrs. Barn, of Bucks, and John
ston, of Westmoreland. The measure, since its
agitation in Congress, has been rapidly gaining
friends. Several of the democratic papers in
this State, among which we notice the Keystone,
the Sanbury American, and the Bradford Porter
and Visiter, have expressed themselves in favor
ofits adoption. The pressing necessities of the
State, The earnest desire 10 complete the main
lines of our public Improvements, without the
imposition Of any additional burthens on our
citizens, and the conviction that if measures are
not speedily adopted to distribute the proceeds
of the public lands, during the present or the
next session of Congress, the old States will be
forever deprived OF any immediate benefit from
them, have contributed largely to this change in
public sentiment in Pennsylvania, and we are
glad to find, that the representatives Of the peo-
pie and the democratic papers, are beginning to
look at he question on its intrinsic merits. There
can scarcely be doubt that il the Pennsylvania
delegation in Congress second the movement of
the State Legislature in a body, it will be car
red and the people of the State be freed from
heavy taxation, which otherwise is inevitable,
A correspondent of the Keystone remarks
''The measure introduced by Mr.. Barr is demo
cratic, and as representative of democratic
old Berks, county which enjoys none Of the
advantages Of our public improvements, and
pays heavy sum towards them-he is advocat-
ing its interests, and The interests of The 1rhoie
State !" and adds 81 desire every democrat
who thinks upon the subject, TO con it over well
in his own mind. To look at the advantages
and disadvantages TO the State and to the party,
likely to arise from sale" of the public lands.
