90, ls47:
The late Foreign News you will have seen
before this time. 1t creates good deal OF ex.
element. but its final tendency is. Of course, as
yet, mere matter OF speculation.
We have upon the ground now the first snow
which we have had of more than an inch in
depth this winter, and the weather is extremely
cold but clear. Canvass backs and Oysters are
in great demand, but poor devil like myself ha:
to be very sparins in his indulgence in the luxu
ries with which this city abounds.
Maj. Phelps. Of your State. who has beer
sick all winter; took his seat a few days since
The Oregon qestion is still under Jealous discus
sion. Mr. Calhoun and his friends go against it
Mr.. Adams and many Of the wings are with tn,
west in this matter. The resolutions on the sub
ject will pass the House by decided majority
but their fate in the Senate is not so we'll ascer
tanned. The Texas members are expected her
about the middle Of February. Mr.. Cabell. o
Florida, will have to give up his seat to MI
Brockenbrough. Mr.. Taylor, member iron
Virginia, died few days since; he was brother
n.law Of Col. Benton. "Old Bullion" look
very badly, and appears to be "breaking" mate
rally. His position in regard to one or TWO lea
ding measuresi is as yet not fully defined.

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
From the Report OF the Commissioner of th


General Land Office.
A large number OF patents has been issued
on old claims, which owing TO a variety OF
psrplexing causes, have remained for many
years in a state Of suspension. Cases OF
suspension for various causes exist in all the
States and Territories in which the public
lands are situated. These have been accu
mulating since The commencement Of the
present public land system, and give rise a,
the present time TO an amount Of CORES.
pondence very embarrassing to the opera.
lions of the office. In many instances pat.
ents are withheld from claimants for causes
wholly irremovable under existing legisla.
ton; and yet, on principles of substantial
justice, the purchasers are entitled to their
patents. As it IS utterly lmpracticabe to
provide by law for each particular case,
and as it is necessary that these suspen.
sions, which are increasing from year to
year, be finally disposed Of, would suggest
that the Secretary OF the Treasury, the
Attorny General, and the Commissioner OF
the General Land Office be authorized BY
law TO act together as board, and examine
and determine all cases OF suspensions upon
principles Of equity and jussicc. In this

REVIEW OF TIE NEW CONSTITUTION

~ NO. II. 81
Messrs. Ben.on f. Green:-ln my last, ]
ended on the Judiciary. The next in order is
-H..aG ARTICLE CO. Education.
This Article, conceive to be very objectona>
BILE. Already are the people of this State borne
down under burdens Of taxation, and am of
opinion that one half Of the voters in this State
are young men who have IS ye, no children old
enough to educate. and old men who have paid
for educating theirs. Under these circumstances
| think there will be found strong current in
opposition to the adoption Of this Article. II
this were the only Objectionable feature in The
the Article, |. for one, could pass it over. But
what conceive TO be far worse, is the distribu
ton made of the School Fund. This, they have
distributed among the several counties, "share
and share alike" Then a spercely settled
county. with her three hundred children, gets an
equal share with with the populous county with
her three thousand children. Why. was not this
distribution left with the Legislature? Did the
Convention conceive that they had all the wis.
dom in our State. am aware OF the plea that
where there are but few children there are but
few persons 10 pay the tax; but can tell them
where there are but few children there are but
few schools, and If person settled in the middle
Of one Of those large Prairies, presume they
will hardly levy a tax Of two or three hundred
dollars per year. to keep up school for his spe.
cial benefit.
ARTICLE Seat of Gorernment,
Comes next. This is permanently nailed
down at the City Of jefferson. II the public
buildings should be destroyed by fire. and the
sovereign people should have ever so great de.
sire to remove it, no matter! zoe. your masters,
,ciu not permit you to do so.
Article S.-Banks and Corporations.
No Bank is ever to be chartered hereafter 10
this State. We will be entirely dependant on
other States for our circulating medium. The
State Banks tina. Old Hickory told US was to
msnage the public funds and afford US better
currency, must now be all put down, and you
the dear people, no matter what your wants and
necessities may be, you are too ignorant for the
Po"eI " NC Ioh I" yooi houoS w Sieoto q Do"N
Was ever such insolence before seen? If the
people do not want Bank. il is an easy matter
to elect men to represent them opposed to =
and If they want Bank, in the name OF Democ
racy let them have the power to create one
for one was always opposed to the old Constitu
ton on Banks; for I always thought it wa
wrong to compel the State to own at least ont
half Of the capital stock; and experience thu
far has proved that l was right in this. In fact
l have always been opposed to State Banks
and il every State would put them down. then il
three years we would have sound circulating
medium that would be known and pass ever
where-a United States Bsnk, with a branc
in each State: but until we can have this, let u
not govern the people too much, but give then
liberty.

From the Mountains.-The 81. Joseph
Gazette says:-Several traders from the
Mountains arrived in our town on Tues
day, from whom we gain some informa-
ton. The river is entirely free from ice to
the mouth of the little Missouri. There
has not been a particle of snow in the
mountains during the winter, SO we cannot
expect June fresh. or any rise in the Mis-.
souri, of importance. from the Mountains.
The Indian tribes are all at peace with

DWe learn from the Lexington (Mo.)
Telegraph, that Maj HARv1E, Superintend.
ant of Indian Affairs, has succeeded in ne.
gotia,ing treaty with the Kansas Indians,
for the purchase of the territory now occu.
pied by them. The amount purchased is
stated at two millions of acres, and includes
some of the most desirable territory in the
valley Of the Missouri. A portion of the
territory is intended for the location of the
Pottawatomies. The Kansas move still

"OLD BULLION" as his friends like to call
him. has defined his position, to some extent.
He is against Mr.. Fairfeld's bill to increase
the Navy, with view to its efficiency in
case of war with England; and, we may
fairly infer, against The notice and against
any measure likely to provoke war. He
will in all probability, be found voting
with Mr.. Calhoun. against the Administra-
ton, on this qucs,ion.-Rrpublican.

Mr.. Aliens Resolutions National
In,elligencer of the 9th, remarks:

Very unexpectedly yesterday. on motion to
take up Mr.. Aliens motion for leave to introduce
resolutions concerning the Powers OF Europe
in general. the Senate found itself forced into a
wide and unrestrained debate OF the whole merits
OF the resolutions. We have only room here to
state that our reporters have full notes Of the de-
bate, but that the crowded stale Of our columns
compes US to defer the report until our next
paper.
Mr.. Allen succeeded in getting his motion of
the table through the ,hnncss Of the Senate; and.
in the end, npon his own motion, the resolutions
were referred to The Committee on Foreign Affairs.
It may be hoped that this is the last that will be
heard OF such fire brand as this. heedlessly cast
nto the council chamber.

WAR.--We have been favored with the
perusal of a letter from Washington, writ

extract
"There will be no war, unless such moves as

force the British Ministry into that measure. The

Report for the ,oeek ending December 26.
The long expected document OF the Presidents
message has had little or no effect on our cotton
market. Although this impor,an, paper may be
said to prefer the lofty tone that was expected
hom it, there is so much in favor of interests OF
peace and cancellation rising up in both coun
tries, that the public seem to regard the issue OF
The disputed point with tie best hopes of an
adjustment. The ag,aions in the cabinet as TO
the government Of this country having in some
measure subsidized, the public securities have been
favorably effected. There is also less alarm pre-
vsiling about the potatoe crop and the famine
question generally. These together have given
a better feeling to the manufacturing interests OF
Lancashire, and we have therefore in our cotton
market. without experiencing any actual advance
10 our quotation Of prices, somewhat participated
in the general improvement. We still look with
much interest to the reports OF the crop in the
United States. On this poin, there is nothing
new, and We can therefore merely repeat our

EIteastor Of the Bel .1ir Market There was
q talk some time since Of extending the Bel
Air market house, in order to accommodate
the citizens and country people who resort
there for the purpose Of buying and sell ny
produce, SC. Latterly, the subject appears to
lave died away, but we think that those who
ara Immediately Interested should now, that
tho Councils are III session, take some further
movement in the matter, aud bring the bene-
fit, and advantages which would result from
such an extension to the people Of that por-
ton of the city, directly before the corporate
authorities The increased population of this
section, requires that the market house should
be enlarged, and there appears to be no more
pruptious time than at the present.
