PUBLIC LANDs,--SeveraI Of the editor
o! the United States, says the Houston
Telegraph, have suggested that the pub
7 nc lands OF Texas should at the earies
period practicable be coded 10 the United
States, and as a consideration for this ces
sion the United States should assume the
payment Of the public debt Of Texas
This arrangement would doubtless be ex.
ItremeIy agreeable 10 the brokers, who
taking advantage of the necessities OF the
unfortunate soldiers Of Texas, purchased
their Texas money at eight or ten cents
on the dollar: bat we doubt whether the
Government of the United States or that
oi Texas would be doing justice to The
truly merltorious creditors Of Texas by
this arrangement.
The editor then goes into a long argu-
meat 10 show the injustice of the propo.
stlon.

ed for violating the treaty, they denied
