dislributiye share Of the proceeds Of all the pub.
lie lands OF the United States, now and hereafter.
| do not seek to interfere In the delicate relation
between Senators and their constituents; but l
think know something Of the feelings aud views
OF my neighbors, the people Of Ohio. have re.
Gently read an exposition Of her true interests and
views in the message OF her enlightened Governor,
directly contrary to those which appear to be en-.
terlained by her two Senators; and | am great
deceived If large majority of the people OF that
State do not coincide with their Governor.
The unequal operation OF the plan of eess;'m
among the nine new States has been, perhaps, sui.
fciently exposed by others. The States with the
smallest population get the most land. Thus
Arkansas with only about one fifteenth part OF
the population OF Ohio, will receive upwards Of
twenty. eight times as much land Us Ohio. The
scheme proceeds upon the idea OF reversing the
maxim OF the greatest good TO the greatest mum.
Der, and of substituting the greatest good to the
smallest number.
| There can be every species OF partial distribu
ton Of the public land or its proceeds but an
honest, impartial, straight forward distribution
among all the States. Can the Senator from
New York, with his profound knowledge Of the
Constitution, tell me on what constitutional au-
thority it is that lands are granted to the Indians
beyond the Mississippi?
| mr. WRIGHT SAID tnat tneTe was no property
acquired and therefore no constitutional obliga-
ton appliedl
And that is the amount OF the Senator's infor.
nation of our Indian relations! Why, sir, we
send them across the Mississippi and put them
upon our lands, from which all Indian title had
been removed. We promise them even the fee
simple but, if we did not, they are at least to re-.
tain the possession and enjoy the use Of the lands
until they choose to sell them; and the whole
amount OF our right would be pre-. emption priv
Iege OF purchase, TO the exclusion Of all private
persons or public authorities, foreign or domestic
This is the doctrine coeval with the colonization
Of this continent, proclaimed by the King Of Great
Britain in his proclamation Of 1853, asserted in
the Conferences at Client, and sustained by The
Supreme Court Of the United States. Now, such
an allotment Of the public lands to the Indians,
whether they acquire fee right Of possession
indefinite as TO time, is equivalent to any dstri.
button.
Thus, sir, we perceive that all kinds of distri.
button OF the public lands or their proceeds may
be made-to particular States, to pre.emptioners,
charities, TO objects Of education or internal i'm
provement, 10 foreigners, 10 Indians, to black,
red, white and gray, to every body, but among
all the States OF the Union. There is an old adage
according TO which charity should begin at home;
but, according to the doctrines Of the opponents
Of distribution it neither begins nor ends at home

Inc result OF the returns has since been an
nounced, and It shows population of rising seven.

posed OF about one-enth of the population accord.
