ever. he fourth section contains a s'proyiso
That the constitution, whenever formed shall be republic
and repugnant the the United State
and that the Legislature of said State shall interfere
with the primary disposal Of the soil BY the United States
with regulation that Congress shall find necessary for
securing the title in such soil the bona and
that tax shall be imposed lands the property the Uni
ted Sates and in shall resident propretors be
taxed higher than residents"
In order to guard against msapprehension must be OBJ
served that this provso like the third section Of the bill under
consideration had the force Of law but was not compact
1t not submitted to the people of the State in the form OF
proposition for ordinance TO be accepted by them The
assent OF the people asked given. In that
sec these provisions in the Missouri act stand on the
footing with the provisions in the bill before the Senate.
But in the sixth section Of the act there propositions ten
deed to the people Of Missouri for their
ton" These propositions five in number and related
TO the sixteenth sections for schools the salt springs the
five per cent of the nett proceeds Of the sales OF the public
lands four entire sections Of land for the seat Of govern
ment, and thirty six sections, township, for SEM
mary Of learning Then follows provso to this section,
"that the FIVE foregoing propositions herein offered
the condition that the convention Of said State shall provide
by ordinance nevocable without the consent OF the Uni
ted States that every and each of land sold by the
United States shall "rema'n exempt from taxation for the
term Of five years from and after the sales and the bounty
lands granted hereafter to be granted for military services
during the late war; sl2 shall while they continue
be held by the patentees their heirs remain exempt
aforesaid from taxa ion for the term Of three years from
and after the date Of the patents respectively" Here
find that while Congress engaged in making
pact with the State in regard taxing bounty and othe

Now, sir have few words say upon the other branch
Of the question in regard the civil law But before pro-

upon the ordinance Of the State of California upon which the
Senator commented freely In The first place, that ord
