ing all Notaries in the several States and Terri
tories TO take and certify dispositions deoeHe esss
and il was again ordered TO be engrossed.
Mr. SHIELDS reported bill authorizing Ws-
consin TO select fifty thousand acres OF LAND Tor
purposes of internal improvement, to supply
deficiency in the selections by the State under
former law of Congress.
Mr.. DAWSON opposed the bill as a dangerous
nrecedent and spoke OF the injustice OF wholesale
grants of ands TO new States without any cores
bonding benefit 70 old States. The Public Lands
were purchased by the money OF all the states,
en5 the old States are entitled TO equal benefits
Nth the new States. There were Railroads,
Lunatics and Poor in the old States, but nothing
wss granted for them bat they, when In new
States, were amply provided for by these grants
of Land.
Mr.. FoorE protested against the revival of old
party issues at this time, when the safety OF TIE
Union depended on harmony.
Mr.. WALKER defended the bill as eminenty
just Im,
tanned that the grant was just, proper and highly
important to his State.
Mr. Dawson replied and said that new States,
doubtless would be glad not to have this old party
issue revived until such time as they can take al
the public lands.
Mr.. FoorE repeated his protest against raising
party issues, particularly by the Senator from
Georgia. The issue was sectional one, too
mot between North and South-but between old
and new States Danger to the Republic from
sectional agitation was not yet over, ana no party
issue ,houid be raised until such agitation and az
traitors should be silenced by the great, cordial and
earnest Union Of all true friends OF the Country;
such issues should not divide the friends OF Union,
particularly now, when base political bargaining
and hucksterng is going on ~ certain sections OIL
the nation, the effect of which is to give import
ance TO the dsturbers OF the Country.
Mr. HALE was in favor OF the Bill. tor several
reasons-he was for giving these lands away, for
this was the last time they would have the oPpor
tunity Of giving. After the new representatives,
under the new census, take their seats there viii
be no more given, it will be taken then. Another
reason was that if all lands were given away to
particular States, to make particular internal I'M
provements there will be no more difficulty In the
Democratic party growing out OF the question OF
general system o. internal Improvements. The
Western States were peopled by persons from
the Eastern States, and in giving them these
lands we were giving only to our own people
Mr. CAss followed in support Of the bill.
After some further debate in opposition to the
bill by Messrs DAWSON and JEFFERSON DAVIS, the
bill was ordered to be engrossed.-Yeas 80, Nays

Messrs. BERRIEE, WALKER, ATcHIsoS and
UNDERWOOD each moved to take up particular
bills, but the motions were objected to-
A message from the President inclosing the 70
