e., suppose this system had been adopted in the earlier
days OF the republic, before the cession OF l7s0, before
Virginia conveyed 10 the general government her vast
landed possessions lying in the great Northwest extend
ing from the Ohio TO the Mississippi and 10 the lakes,
out OF which the five noble States OF Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, formed and now
bearing a population OF over four millions suppose
this idea had been practically carried out previous to that
dae. then this brilliant galaxy OF stars in the North
west that now hangs so beautifully, shedding light upon
political hemisphere would be merged In the glori
nous constellation Of the Old Dominion.
What the conditions OF the cesson act oil l7so
They that the land when ceded TO the Union
should be for the benefit OF all the States and
State The land conveyed by Virginia in 1854 in trust
for the benefit OF the several States, Virginia included
which will be seen by the wording OF the deed OF ces-
sion executed by Virginia, which is as follows:
That all the lands within the territory ceded to the
shall be considered tund for the and ben

But in the further extension OF my remarks desire
to bear more upon the subject under consideration, and
to inquire the extent of the landed estate held in charge
by national trustee. The number of acres undis-

Fulf ia Texas.

The New Orleans papers contain long accounts
of a recent fair held at Corpus Christi, at which
were present the following distinguished individu-
ais:
Gen. Harvey, u S. Army Gov Bell, of Tex
as Gov. Ujhazy, the Hungarian, from Iowa );
DIR. Ashbel Smith Gen. Carvajal Col. Ford
Major Jack Everitt, and Capt. Andy Walker. of
the Lberating Army of Mexico; Hon. Henry Clay
Davis, aud Gen. II. Mcleod, and an immense
number Of people from the surrounding country.
They seem to have had all sorts OF amusements
the CavellO Opera, races, concerts, chicken dis
butatiots, circus, bull fights, gambling, &c. The
attendance at the races was very large great many
ladies being present on horseback and In carriages.
The-course is described as miniature Derby"
and the turnouS as equally fashionable The splen-
did carriage of Mrs. Kenny, drawn BY four horses,
attracted great attention. There were a number
OF the officers ofthe army present, several MeXi-
can ladies, Indians, and many border chiefs and
frUntiermea. One or two Of the ladies entered their
horses, which made the races still more exciting.
The greatest sensation, however, was produced by
mule race, which is said to have been most lu-
dicrous affair Among other amusements there
was trial for superiorskil in Workmanship, which
consisted in sticking ON q wild Camauche poney !;
oyertaking bull at full speed, catching him by
the tail, and throwing him on the ground, still on
horseback and under full run, &c.
Gen. Carjayal delivered an address to large
assemblage Of the people. A correspondents of the
n. D. Delta says:
He was presented to the audience by DR.. Smith,
who bespoke for him patient hearing. In clear
and remarkably distinct voice he proceeded to set
forth his cause, and that of the people Of TaInau
lpas, and the wrongs inflicted upon them by the
tyranny and oppression OF the Mexican Govern
nent He certainly made out u strong and very
aggravated case. His address was written with
great force and beauty Of language, and hisappeas
were very eloquent. He was warmly applauded
throughout. The address occupies sixteen pages,
and will be published"
e Gen. Mcleod succeeded in stirring address,,
in behalf Of the same cause, and great dealot en-
thusiasn seems 10 have followed.
