opposed the plan of distribution. There was
none which said that the receipts from land
sales should be placed in the Treasury.
Mr. Clay said he should show, from the
President down TO the Senator from New York,
slla, The friends Of the present administration
were averse TO the revenue from lands; bu'
first he should say something of the origin ol
the land bill The measure was thrust upon
him in order to embarrass him. He was placed
on the committee of manufacturers, ana con-
trary 10 all parliamentary usage, ne was com
PEELED to consider the subject. Dill was re-
ported in favor of Distribution. Ii passed both
houses of Congress, and would have been the
law Of the land if it had been vetoed, as il
would have if General Jackson had returned il
TO Congress.
General Jackson's Message of 1882 said d.
recily, that The time had come when revenue
from the sale of lands should cease. In the
next years meSsage,-and an OminOus message
i, was, "a different policy was broached. Re-
ports of Administrators Senators were read,
showing that customs and lands were 10 be re-
lied upon for the support Of the government.
Documents were read Ia prove this, beginning
with The message of S32, aid coming down 10
Mr.. CaIhoun's bill, proposing to cede away the
lands to the new States.
Reports from Senators, friends 10 Jackson,
were read along down to The time that Gen.
Jackson changed his policy in regard to the
lands Mr.. Kane, of Illinois, Senator from
Missouri (Mr. Benion) were quoted TO prove
ihis--both Of those, as friends Of the Admins
tratiun of General Jackson, declared that there
should be no revenue from lands, but that the

of The General Government. The Senator
from New York did not escape, for although
that Senator had not committed himself by ar
gunenr, he had done 50 by his Report 10 the
present Congress in favor of Graduation.
The Cession principle of Mr.. Calhoun was
mex, considered, and opposed for reasons of In
equality and injustice. |, was shown too that
there was no principle which would operate in
favor of giving away 35 per cent. that did not
operate i'll favour of giving away so per cent.
and 100 per cent. Cession was no more than
Distribution; and again if the nine new States
had the l65 millions of acres of land within
their geographical lines, the States to be ad-
mitled inIo the Union would necessarily have
To be treated in The same way. The monstrOus
inequality of CesSiOn was pointed out at length
and illustrated briefly in the case of Ohio
Mr.. Allen was called up during this discus
sion, and dsavowed his friendship for Cession,
except as in reference TO Distribution.
Mr.. Clay did not spare Mr.. Allen for this
confession, but following out his remarks, he
showed thai if The Senator from Ohio preferred
Cession to Distribution, he cared very lille for
sbo IF Ii in
the one case. and every thing in the other
Mr. Clay continued until half past three, when
he said he had but got inlo the threshold of the
subject.
