Mr.. HOWARD denied the statemcn, made by
the gentleman from Maine, that the Public Lands
were indeb'ed TO the Treasury. The Public Lands
had enabled us TO pay of the deb: incurred IN the
Revolution, and had relieved the poor man from the

gentleman had fallen nto when he asserted that the
General Government could dispose of the public
