Extract from GEN Roots speech.
Delivered in the Senate of The slate of
~. Y. on the matter of the Distribution
among the States Of the Proceeds Of the
Public Lands.
There were three great questions up
on which parties were now divided :
distribution, a national Bank. and Pro-
tectve Tariff. The great Democratic

All the members of both branches, with
one accord. voted their approval of the
Bank, and rejected the overtures of Penn
