PrnLic LANDs-At lat adsiees tbe
Conventions both Of Alabama and OF
Louisiana were discussing the disposition
Of the public lands within their respective
limits. A strong disposition seems 70 De
manifested IN both to retain them IN the
possession Of the individual States. In
his we think they are right. The ideA =
entirely consistent with the doctrines OF
State sovereignty that each State shouIo
possess and control its own domain. ihey
are under no obligations Whatever TO sur
render the vacant lands within their Inn
its for the general benefit ofall the states
Of tire Confederacy. The Confederate
Government can lay no justelaim tothem'
eith-r by purchase. acquisition through
treaty. or otherwise. The case in regard
70 vacant lands is very different under
the new Coufederscy from what 1t was
under the old. Under the bitter large
tracts Of vacant lands we're scquired by
c~essions from the States Of domains which
hey held at the time Of The %revolution
and for which they had no use, and 9th
ers, By purchase. conquest and treaty. In
this way. ~ the new territory Vas settled
up and new States carved out OF II. the
Federal Government sill hellib Iile 10
the lands. and thus became land'holder
within the limits of all the rev States.
even after they were members OF the
Union. II territory outside he limits OF
the present 5 aies shall be acquired by :
the new ~Conied-raey. that vii inure to i
the benefit Of all the States, With the Con .
f-dertte Government AS ageniand Trustee. |
just AZ Wis the case under ibe old q " !,
eminent. But the vacant and un~old 4

State became the properiyo IboseS 'ates 81
