cares. the tolls and the perple1i,ie, incdeu,

pie Of Bloomington on "Wednesday last, with
all those marks Of friendship and good feeling
which should ever characterize the reu,u Of
this anniversary.

expect to witness in the month Of May-va

with which our eyes and ears have been %
often greeted In colder climate and whichis
the eye of genuine son Of New England,
are SO indispensabIy necessary to proper o..
servance Of the day.
The houses of some Of our citizens xers
thrown open 10 the calls Of visitors. who vss

The dangers TO be guarded against are great
ly augmented BY too large surplus revenue.
When that surplus greatly exceeds in amount
what shall be required by wise and prudent
forecast to meet unforeseen contingencies, the
Legislature itself may come to be seized with
disposition to indulge in extravagant appropri-
atoms to objects many Of which may. and most
probably would, be formed to conflict with
the Constitution. A fancied expediency is ell
evated above constitutional authority, and
reckless and wasiefnl extravaganza but too

Lave pronounced jest and reasonable NO ne

der,aken between the United States and ms.'
leo, in advance Of the ratification Of the treaty.
We should have had no right--no power-no
authority to have conducted such negotia-
ton; and TO have undertaken it would have
been an assumption equally revolving TO the
pride Of Mexico and Texas, and subjecting US
to the charge Of arrogance; while to have pro-
uosed In advance Of annexation, to satisfy
Mexico for any contingent interest she might
have in Texas. would have been to have tTea-
led Texas not az an independent power, but as
a mere dependency Of Mexico. This assump-
,ion could not have besn acted on by the exec
u.ive without setting at defiance your own sol

House OF Representatives.


tas WEDNgsD DAY, Dec IL.
The House was opened by prayer from the Rev.
Mr. TUsTiN, durii which short period silence pre-
vailed; but the instant the lips of the divine were
closed, the usual confusion and conversation fol-
lowed throughout the house.
NEw TERRITORY.
Mr.. DOUGLAS of l'linois, gave notice that he
would introduce bill 10 establish The Territory Of
Nebraska, being that portion OF country bounded
by the States Of Missouri and Arkansas, on the
east and north, the Rocky Mountains on the west
and Texas on the south
Also, 10 print Greenhow's recent history Of the
Orpgen Territory, California, &c.
The Rouse then resolved itself into committee
Of the whore on the s att of the Union, when
Mr. DUNCAN called up his one-day Presidential
Election bill, which was again amended to meet
,hr exisency Of a special ELECTION, in case Of no
choice being made on the first trial
Mr.. DaoMeooLE presented substitute, which he
offered, and which he said had been prepared, with
4 view 10 mfet all the points which were necessary
ia the completion Of this important matter; during
the penuency OF which motion, the bill was laid
aside for the present.
Mr.. HoUsroN, Of Alabama, then introduced a
bill to graduate and reduce the price ot the public
lands by allowing actual settlers, or those owning
adjacent farms, 10 purchase a tract not exceeding
800 acres, oi any land that has been offered for
sale for five years Tor the sum of ST per acre. That
the market for ten years, at rs nts per acre
for fifteen years. at so cents, and for twenty years,
al % cents per acre.
MIR. CrLLAMkR, Of Vermont, opposed the bill,
as tnS eDgtn nl tlme'Ot tne lanuS Detng IN MARKER
was criterion whereby they should be judged
to quality or value; and also because it would
retard purchases until the certain period OF time
had passed. &
Mr.. SAMPLE of Indiana, advocated the passage
of the bill tor be fits that would result to his
State, and tor the purpose as he alleged of increas
ing the sale aud occupation of public lands that
would not be purchas ed at the present rate.
MIR Davis of lndiana, followed in a similar
strain Of argument.
Mr.. vINToN Of Ohio, opposed the bill, on the
ground that the lands thus offered would be taken
up by speculators Who could easily find men cor
Tupt enough to make affidavis OF intent 10 occu-
py the soil; and also because the decrease of price
in the ratio of increase of time the lands are Offer
ed for sale, would induce actual settlers to hold
back in the purchase OF tracts convenient to their
own farms. until they could obtain the land al the
lowest price fixed in the bill He contended that
the present law regulating gales by which man
could purchase forty acIes of good land for $50,
sufficient for all practical purposes that guam
tIty wac enough tor any beginner 10 cultivate.
The committee rose and reported at the conclu-
sion of his remarks. waen the bill was ordered TO
be printed, and the House adjourned TILL Thursday.
