held on the same subject by the National

half dozen northern Know Nothing mem

twelfth section aforesaid, and that with their
votes, those of all the South Americans (who
must necessarily sustain its principle) the
Democratic party of the House would be able
to vote down every abolition proposition that
might be essayed by the northern anti-slavery

have arisen in the prosecution of the neces-
sary steps for securing a valid title to the lot
selected by the Secretary of the Treasury for
the building referred to above, which will
make it necessary to select another instead.
We may also add, that the act of the Legisla-
ture, ceding jurisdiction over the premises to
the United States, was so worded as to make
it improper under it for the Government to
pay out its money for the real estate. The
jurisdiction ceded not being full, final, and
conclusive against that Of the State, if the lat

tablish hers over it.
