Sell it hewoud Resconsall amounted to nothing because
Congress could be got to hold to them The land
brokers knew that perfectly and they got the land in the
whie for next to nothing Thus the soldier lost the
Government lost and nobody gained but the specuaor.
For these reasons, Mr. " in favor of leaving the
rants without restriction, and for combining them specific
district Of land, else for the issue Of stock II true,
that these warrants TO be located IN limited district
the warrants would sink in price and if the bill left
it stood, the price would be better But then they would dry
up the land revenue and prevent our getting loan
He regarded the bill imperfect yet, if amendments
put upon il, twoud receive his He hoped how
the whole subject would be thoroughly examined and
that, if possible this bill would be put in such shape
that while It's provisions acceptable to the soldier,
should not become the of drying up the land
of the Government, and operating njurousy the national
credit aM Is. ..
The Debate was contnuedby Messrs CUMMrNS BELL,
and STARKWEATHER, for whose remarks we have not
room in this paper.
Mr. BOYD OF Kentucky then said that his object and that
of majority Of that House to give land bounty
TO soldiers and 10 them from being deauded OF
by specuators He wished to do these with little injury
TO the Treasury the public credit possible These,
it would be confessed all hands, important objects;
and hence this bill of great and intrinsic Importance
But there great difficulties in securing this gi when
actually made, the soldier for whom intended and
great difference of opinion the best mode of eecng
this. Mr.. b. had his doubts whether the PROPOSITION he had
himself proposed the various other amendments directed
the end, would, after ALL effect it, He feared they
would not Great caution and certainly to be OBJ
served ne nopeu however, na some an lnleht YET DC n
upon that would answer better than any yet devised Under
this hope his purpose to for the rising of the
committee in order that, in the House, the BILL together
with all the amendments which had been proposed, should be
referred TO select committee. ..".a.
Before the motion made, however, Mr.. GRAHAM of
North Carolina, and Mr.. STEWART, Of Pennsylvania OBJ
tained leave to send up amendments which would go with
the rest.
Mr. BOYD then made his motion that the committee
rise and it and reported progress accordingly.
On motion Of Mr. BOYD, the Committee Of the Whole
discharged from the further consideration of the bill to in
the pay of the commissioned officers, musicians,
and pvates of the army of the United States and the militia
and volunteers in the service of the same and allowing them
