pediency of reducing the price of such of the public lands as have been, or may hereafter be, in market more than five ycare, to one dollar per at re; and such as have been, or may hereafter be, in market more than ten years, to seventy five-cents per acre; and such as have been, or may hereafter be, in the market more than fifteen years, to fifty cents per acre ; and that such as have been, or may hereafter be, in the market more than twenty years, shall be subject to be entered by actual settlers,as follows to wit: each person to be entitled to enter eighty acres, and no more, and requiring a continued residence of live years on the land by the settlers, or their heirs, before such person shall be entitled to a patent, a.nd making an abandonment of possession and residence, before that time, a forfeiture of claim to the title. Mr Owen, adverting to the importance of the measures proposed in this resolution, and wishing time more correctly to understand ils provisions, with reference to the new matter which it might contain, moved that the consideration of it be postponed to to-morrow. Mr. Smith replied, that it was a matter of little importance to him, whether the resolution should be taken up at this time or p( stponed to to-morrow. He did not , ..".vevtr, agree in the opinion thnt it proposes new matter, never heretofore presented to the same Committee. It proposed a mere inquiry on a subject of deep interest to mnpv citizens in the West. His object in of!: ring the resolution was simply, tl at those comprehended it) it might jo enabled to know, as early as possible i nether the Government intended, or not, to extend to them that relief to which he believed them jusil) entitled. It was, in true, that many had bee.') enabled lo avail thenrw-dves ol the provisions of a law already existig and !mu ni!raced the relief it olF rs; but there were others, and those in great numbers, who were equally pnssed with, diflif ultif , equally industrious and destTving, and equally entitled to relief, but whoce situation had prevented them from mbracieg if. Hiwish was, to inform this worthy class of. sufferers whether liny were at ( rcc to be stripped of their oul) home, or whether the Government would as heretofore, stretch out its arms of mercy and receive them into i:s embrace. Mr Otctn said, he had no desire to embarrass the gentleman's resolution & woald withdraw hi? motion for postponement, but ch-.bired that the resolution might be read again. Jt was again read, accordingly: when, Mr, Strung- snggested that the first ol its two parts contained the substance cf a resolution olfered by an other member, and already referred to the same Committee. To the second part he had no particular objection, but was of opinion that it went to bind down the inquiry of the Committee more than would be favorable to the object the gentleman had in view. Mr, Smith said a few words in reply; when the resolutions were agreed to. LAWRENCEBURGH. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1327. New; Orleans, December 1. Price Current.

Among the ujost zealous uf Uk- oponants to this principle, may be class ed the editor of the iirooliville pper, a tho roughgoing parttzm, and one who don't stop at tr flts. In his paper of the C7fh ult. he puts forth the following, as a satLple of his political tene's. "We have latily travelled through a corriderable portion of the 3d Congressional District in this state, and havo found that in all the towns and villages, there is a majority for the administration, tho' ika same cannot be said in troth indiscriminately of the plantation settlements. The reason for this is obvious: the citizens of the towns and Tillages enjoy the privilege of examining the subject of the next Presidential election for themselves, by the aid of the public journals, which the other in general do not; and of course, j'i'Iging for themselves on the principles of propriety and (ruth " I have given the article eotire, that the reader, whether an Adamsite or a Jacksonite, may xamine and decide upon it aside from the comments I shall make.

No pitiful subterfuge, or attempt at explanation, will wipe away the recollection ofj this foul and disgraceful attempt to cast reproach upon a respectable part of the community, merely to discover his taste for the marvellous, or to gratify a worse disposition.

eoantry are taore generally fjvorable to Geo. Jackson than in towns; it is frankly admitted that the farmer, from the nature of his pursuits, has less time to devote to the examination of political questions than the street-lounger, whose daily avocation it is to retail to a gping crowd, before some bar-room, the vitiated contents of a hot blooded partizan paper.

But does this dissimilarity of employment and situation give the latter any greater claims on the score of correct knowledge? If we may be permitted to judge from reason and observation, it must be admitted that the person whose roading, as to quantity, is limited to a certain de gree, is as likely to arrive at just and rational conclusions on controverted points, as be who is always r-xtming and trimming his opinions to suit particular circumstances, which he some times ideally creates.

Q COMMUNICATED. TO ARTHUR ST. CLAIR, ESQ. Sir After a longer delay than was intended, I proceed to offer a few thoughts jupon what you have said (in your ad dress) of General Jackson. 1st. You say he was "a youthful soldier of the revolution." In support of this, nothing will be offered, as 1 am in clined to believe it is not su.ceptible of proof, and is possibly incorrect. The name of Jackson was never (within my knowledge) associated with the revolution, until s-ince he has been named as a candidate for president. In comparing the history of the revolution with the biography of Jackson, that war appears to have commenced in the sixth, and ended in the fourteenth year of his age; and I believe there is no account of the regiment, battalion, or company, to which he belonged, the ofiieers under whom he served, or battle in which he fought, in that war. But there is still a stronger reason to offer for the opinion 1 have f.rriirwt for 1 11 o rnrnr f n i nT ivbiib I M"! MH Ut IUI V-l'ft V.Vt-vw' w a ltl...tJ inpeal to the experience oi the age in ... ... . tt which we live. Men who engage in war, if successful, almost always feel an attachment for their leaders, that cannot easily be overcome. The war of the revolution, was a struggle for national independence and liberty; the conllict was long and severe, attended with the most trying circumstances, of all other, the best calculated to unite in the tie of friendship, those engaged in it. Washivoton was the leader of the patriotic and heroic band; his zeal in the cause of his country, his fatherly care of the men who served under him, his sympathy with them in thtrir sufferings his letters to Congress on their behalf, his success in leading them to battle, the laurels with which their exertions were crowned, and lastly, his affectionate Farezccily when they parted, were all calculated to inspire in their breast the wannest affection for, and devotion to his person, which was not confined to them alone, to officiate as their first president, lu K .i s-v 4W i - mm, .11 Ai jtiilrwkf rrn J niwl countn, until he had nearly approached the grave, he informed Congress, that, admonished by the. infirmities attendant on the decline of life, he had determined ti retire to a private life. At this time, General Jackson was a member of Congress. The house on receiving his communication, appointed a committee to draft a suitable reply; which they did, in the mo?t respectful terms, and pre sented it to the house for their adoption. of!ir Giles (now governor of Virginia) ob i . ... part which express their regret that he was about to retire, and their confidence in his wisdom and firmness. In support of his motion, Mr. G. said, "he was not sorry, but glad the president was about to retire. He believed there were a thousand men that could administer the government as well as he had done; hehad no confidence in his wisdom or firmness, but that it was the want of wisdom and firmness in the president, that had brought the nation into its present difficulties.' Now sir, is it not reasonable to conclude that if Jackson had been one of the soldiers and patriots of the revolution, he would have resented this wanton

atlack upon his late commander and thrown back upon the assailant the charges of want of wisdom and firmness? would he not have made some attempt to defend the aged Patriarch in exercising the energies of his youthful ardor on his behalf? 1 think he would. Would not those sensations, that to this day fire

with indignation, the breast of every patriot, who reads this famous speech of Mr. (jile?,have excited him to action? wiai: the Fatherofhis country attacked in his declining days, and wounded with the mortiivine charee of imbecilitv, want of wisdom and firmness, and compelled to carry those wounds to the grave. Yes, Americans, it is true. At length the question is called for, and now we indulge the cheering expectation that our young Hero will amend his silence by recording his vote, as gratitude would dictate. Vain delusive hope! Wheiu then do you lind him? On the other side vith the opposition. There you may read the names of William B Giles, Andrew Jacksox, Edward Livingston', Nathaniel Macon, and eight others now no more, standing together in the opposition. What think ou of this? Was Andrew Jackson a soldier and patriot of the revolution? Without turlher evidence I cannot believe it. Other points will be noticed hereafter, if circumstances permit. A Western Citizen. iNDiANvroLis. December 1 The legislature is progressing rapidly with business. The various standing committees seem to have been unusually industrious and attentive, and no unnecessary delay has been occasioned by needless debate on unimportant subjects, The greatest degree of harmony and good feeling has thus far, characterised the proceedings of both branches. Several important subjects have been before them; among which may he reckoned, the bill to provide for the location of a canal route to connect the navigable waters of the Wabash with those of lake Ene, and accepting of the grant of land made by congress for the, purpose of completing the same, which has passed the louse of Representatives, and has received two readings in the Senate, whose sanction it will doubtless receive. This bill, as originally introduced, will be found in another part of this paper, the blanks being filled, so as allow the commissioners two dollars per diem, and appropriating 1000 out oi the road and canal fund to defrav the expense. The bill providing for the location of a road from lake Michigan to the Ohio river, which is now in committee of the whole in the II. K. and of the passage of which through both houses no doubt is entertained, the only contest being as to the point at which it shall strike the Ohio, and as to the selection of the com missioners and the jcint resolution, which has passed the Senate bv a vote of 1G to v, and is now in committee of the whole in the II. R., instructing our Senators and requesting our Represen tatives to use their best exertions in iavour of internal improvement and domestic manufactures, and of the passage of which by a large majority, there is no doubt. 1 iie standing committee on ed ucation this day reported a bill granting a college charter to iSloomington Seminary, ar.d providing for its endowment. A proposition to repeal the law allowing a premium on wolt scalps, was lost in the H. R. by a small majority. The bill to incorporate the Indianapolis Steam Mil! Company, in which the people of this part of the country are deeply interested has passed two readings in the Senate, and will probably be sanctioned by both branches. All attempts to alter the present system respecting Prosecuting Altomies have been unavailing. Lilorts will he made to increase the number of Judicial Circuits, and if a measure of this sort succeed, it is thought there will be an entire reorganization of all t. in nits, a jomi resolution proving the removal of the Pension Office from Condon to Indianapolis, this day passed the House ot Representatives 33 vot ing for it and 24 against it its fate in the Senate of course is doubtful. A proposition to instruct the committee of ways and means to enquire into the expediency of repealing a poll tax for state purposes, was rejected by a considerable majority. The standing committee on military affairs have reported a bill, the object of which is to repeal the law of last session on that subject and increase the number of musters and the tine for non performance ofduty. Violent opposition will be made to this bill, and its fate is uncertain. It is believed that the session will not last more than six weeks. Indiana Journal. We are requested to state that the meeting to be held at this place, composed of the friends of INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS AND DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES, on the 12th of January, is deferred until the first Monday in May next. The chief object in putting off the meeting is, that a more ample, full, and distinct expression of public opinion may be gained, upon that course of policy which is conceived best calculated to confer the highest bene fits upon the country. 6,
