the subject as it they had existence and az II the
United States were the original and unconditional own
ers OF all the public lands. The rst cesson drecs:-
"rhat from and after the 3lst day OF December 1882
there shall be allowed and pa to each Of the States nj
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama Missouri Mssissippi
and LOUISIANA, over and above what each of the said
States entitled to by the terms of the compact entered
into between them respectively upon their admission
into the Union and the United States the sum of
and half per centum upon the amount of sales of
the public lands which, subsequent to the day aforesaid
shall be made within the several limits of the said states.
which sad sum Of twelve and half per centun, sbal
be applied to some object objects OF internal improve
ments education within the said States under tho
direction of the several legislatures ~
This twelve and half per centum is to be taken ont
OF the net proceeds OF the land sales before any ammo
onments made; and the same seven States which are
first to receive this proportion also to receive their
due proportion OF the residue according to the ratio of
general distribution
Now, waving all considerations of equity or policy
IN regard 10 this provision, what more need be said to
demonstrate us objectionable character than that it is
in direct and undsgused violation of the pledge given
by Congress 10 the States before single cesson was
made that abrogates the condition upon which some
OF The States came into the Union; and that it sets at
every grant under which the title to that norton ot the
public lands is held by thu federal government.
lnlhe apportionment of the remaining seven obs of
the proceeds this bill in manner equally undisgused,
violates the conditions upon which The United Sta as
acquired title to the ceded lands. Abandoning alto
gethe the ratio Of distribution according to the general
charge and expenditure provided by the compac Is, j.
adopts that OF lede repre- enative populat o. Vr-
gn'a and other States, which ceded their lands upon
Tue express condition, that they should receive benefit
from Their sales, IN proportion to their part OF the gen.
eral charge, are by the bill allowed only portion of
their proceeds and that not in the pro-
portion OF general charge and expenditure, but in the
ia tI, OF their federal representative population
The constitution Of the United ta,es did not dele
gaze 10 Congress the power abrogae these compacts
IN the contrary, by declaring that nothing in "shaU
oe so construed as to prejudice my claims of the Uni
ted States of any particular State" It v,r,uav
provides that these compacts and the rights they Sc.
cure, shall remain untouched by the legislative power.
winch shall only make all "needful rules and regu.
Mtions" for carrying them into effect. All b.vond This

the Mayor upon the charge OF breaking pane glass
IN one OF the windows Of the store Of Messrs. Jones &
winston, on Main Street, on Tuesday evening, and
stealing cigars. At the time of the larceny, other lads
were IN company with boys above named, but their
names are as yet unknown. hence it did not appear
certainly that either OF the lads arrested broke the
pane OF glass, though both had in possession some OF
the cigars stolen. The evidence not being sufficiently
positive to convict, they were discharged

THE PUBLIC LANDS-GENERAL JACK
SONS AUTHORITY,

Now thatth question, whether Virginia ought
public lands, is before our Legislature, we deem it
highly appropriate to refresh the memories of
those members, who constitute the Democratic
majority with the best history any where to be OBJ
tanned of the manner in which these lands became
the property of the Federal Union. This history
is to be found in General Jackson's famous mes
sage, in which he gave his reasons for suppress
ing the Land bill passed at the close of previous
session of Congress. We beg Democratic gen.
tlemen to read carefully and consider we'll the
perspicuous narrative of the "Old Hero" by which
he showed, beyond the power of refutaton, that the
public lands were intended to be disposed of
by Congress for the benefit of all the States in
proportion to the share of each in the general
charge. He refused, indeed, to sanction the par
ticular bill before him (though it is we'll known
that while it was pending he warmly espoused the
general policy of dstrbution) but let the reasons
which he gave for his refusal be particularly no.
ted. A prominent one was that the bill departed
! from proper observance of the trust reposed in
Congress, by gran ting considerable portion OF
the proceeds of the lands to the States in which
they lay. Gen. Jackson's whole argument, in
short, fully sustains the position ofthose who de-
sire Virginia toparticipate, while she may, in
| fund, the benefits of which she, more than any
other State, has peculiar right to claim
