Tho resolutions introduced by Mr. Benjamin on Friday
last relative to the appropriation Of nine millions Of acres
Of swamp lands and which adopted came up for re-
consideration to-day On the motion for
warm and eloquent debate ensued but the motion was
laid on the table until tomorrow when Mr. Benianin
who introduced tho resolutions expected to be in his
seat Tho immense value of this donation invests the
subject with the highest Importance and Mr. Richardson
Of ouachia and other members from the higher part OF
the sae advanced strong arguments against tho resou
lions. Tho min argument is this: that Congress has
given this vast body of lands to the State to reclaim the
overowed lands protect them by great Levees and
that the donation ought to be appropriated to purpose
specified But that when the evees are built the lands
uc millions Of become valuable that after
all the draining and lcyeeing necessary in the state shall
have been DONE there will be large fund.- large body
ofiand as to which Congress may afterwards change
the appropriation with the consent Of the State, to
grant alternate seconso railroads and other great pub
lie But that if the resolutions of Mr. Ben
siu are allowed to become the basis Of clause The
organic law this change Of appropriation BIT
made the great donation never unless by another
Constitution be diverted from the purposes of draining
and leveeing.

side and all those who do not like to the leyee
getting all Of this territory the other Mr. Benjamin
speech is looked for with much anxiety but his resou
tions will meet with determined opposition and victory
