Past ErentS casting their MddoaoS tet0re
The recent indications from various quarters concur
IN demonstrating, that the Distribution OF the Proceeds

Inc design Mr. Webster declares himself willing to
,propra,e the proceeds Of the sales to paying the in
Ses, on the State Debts. The Governors of Kentucky
and Indiana have urged the Distribution upon their re-
pecve Legislatures.-Every one knows, that General
HARRISON has recognized the in his late travel
linz speeches-amost the only prominent opinion, by
The by which he dared TO declare Thus the President
elect and the Heir apparent have urged the proposition
and We may look the very next session OF Congress
for the theatre of the operation. What results ne

Messrs Clay and Harrison were once so openly COM
United upon other grounds, VIII be again expanded

s.In Q conversation with - -, Esq, an eminent
LAWYER of Cincinnati and formerly of the bar OF this
State he gave me some information, not conhden

c1rrage was procured and they arrived there before
dinner, and remained until half past four o'clock. lie

General, get expression from his o,cn lips

OF Gov Seward, to the committee the Cunard dir
festival, at Boston, that he alluded TO the great
manufacturing interest Of the North, and said he,
have no doubt that Protective Tariff is already deter
macd on as part of the policy of the Harrison admin
