The following from the Washington Whig, a paper pubKshed at Princeton, New-Jer- "" Iar letter written by a very intelligent and respectable member of Congress, of the state of New-jersey, to his constitucuts. It is dated Washington, March 4th, 1S19. We pubHsh it to shew the want of information, and the misapprcncnsion wmcn too generally pervades the old states of the Union in relation to the western country, and particularly on the subject of the public lands. The very system of which, though written in the mui intoine i reaburv uv the purchasers of lands North - , . .. West of the Ohio, it is taken amount m arrear wit n me Treasury, when in truth the most and nearly all this sum is . "1 1 . 1 payable in instalments at future periods. The idea of promhiting the enterprise or tnc West from the fertile regions beyona tne iMiiMppi, is i i iicrous in sound as it is impolitic and exceptionable in principle, and the policy of prohibiting by any species of legislation the emigration from the Eastern states, is contrary to the genius of our free institiiUons, aud uuoerai in tne extreme. A combination however of these and similar causes, will it is to be feared, tor some time to come, have a depressing influence over the fair prospects of the Western country. A proposition to divide the public lands of the United States for sale, when desired, into tots of eighty acres, to reducc the price to 1 dollar 50 cents per acre, and to sell tor cash only, passed the senate, and was lost in the house for the want of time, as 1 have no doubt there was a majority in favor of it. This subject will also again be introduced at the nsxt session, when I predict its passage. There is evidently, I think, too great a disposition in the American people to diffuse themselves over a large space numerous, thin, and dispersed settlements weakens the aggregate strength, and the rapid course of emigration to the west, operates as a drain upon the capital enterprize and industry of the east, paralyring in no inconsiderable degree the improvement, espc-

daily in agriculture, of the Atlantic states. Too hurried an accession of population has not been favorable even to the west, as it has introduced a spirit of speculation, along with an immense mass of foreign goods, which they had better done without, and produced very heavy and embarrassing debts to the Atlantic cities for those goods, and to the government for land, as evinced by the deplorable condition of their local currency. There are at this tiaie upwards of 12 millions of dollars due the government for land, 7 millions of which from beyond the Ohio. There is every reason to believe that unless the system of extended credit be discontinued, that the amount will annually accumulate and at no distant day produce such an odious relationship, that if creditor and debtor between the government and a porttion of the people as to be productive of serious consequences. Already it has almost become a matter of course, to pas every session a bill to favor-this class of debtors by delaying the demand of payment which they are unable to make. I should have been pleased if our settlement could have been limited for many years to come to the east side of the Mississippi ; I am convinced it would have been prudent and salutary, but as it is not the case, let the government, by the adoption of the measure under consideration, endeavor to limit: this system of credit.

Gcod News from N. Ha?np - shire. The general election in New Hampshire was on Tuesday, 9th March.
