MR. CLAY'S LAND BILL. . Some considerable excitement, followed by debate, was occasioned by (lie return of Mr. Clay Land Bill bv the Preeident. Mr. Clay declared his opinion that the President had violated the Constitution by retaining it. Mr. Benton replied at some length, by pleading on the part of the President a want of outfit tent time. Our readers will recol lect, that at the esion of Congress pre vious to the last, lhi-5 bill was before the Senate; and at the last session, pasrd both Housei" and was sent to the President together with many other papers for his signature on Saturday, the 2d of March. As Sunday is not a day for the transaction of business, that ?n'Ht l ave been the closing day of the session; and it appears from Mr. Ben ton's remarks, that on that day about ninety acts received the attention and signature of the President; and upon these and other grounds did Mr. Benton argue the want of time. Mr. Clay on on the other hand said, that as the bill had been before the President as well a the people for a w hole year previous to it? final pa-age through both houses, the President must have been well ac piaintcd with its features and import, pecialiv as lie had adverted to it in his message at the opening of the last sfsiion; and that, consequently, he must have been prepared to act upon it. the bill had been rejected by the Presi dent "vm! relumed to the House, a ma jotitv of two thirds could have made it i.'iome a law, notwithstanding the ex ei uthc cto was upon it. But by be ing withheld, the house having no op portunity to act upon it, it is necessarily defunct bv the expiration of the but Congress. The appointment bv the President if Mr. T lor, (a non-resident of Indiana) to be Register of the Land Ollice at ('rawfordevillc. was the occasion of the Resolution i, th red by Mr. Willet of the House of Representatives, relative to , appointments to (lice by the genera Government within the State, which resolution lias been indefinitely post poned in the. House, and ordered to a third reading in the Senate. This was the subject of a lengthened debate, in w hich a number of able mem bers participated. Mr. Steele was wi ling to concede to the Piesident the ris'it to propose to the Senate any indi vidaal within the union "to preside over a Land Ollice in Indiana,"' but also claimed the power of that body to reject uch nomination. Upon principles of equitv and jas'.uo, he was disposed to laim the appointment to office by the general Government for some suitable individual within the State. Mr. Vandeveer thought the Legislature would be transcending its bounds by passing the resolution, as it would be an unprecedented act of dictation to a higher branch of Government that it was a governmental concern with which the Legislature had no right to meddle; besides, that the passage of the resolution would reflect disgrace upon the character of the present incumbent, Mr. Tyler. Mr. Moore thought' the Legislature might not understand the circumstance under which the appointment had been made it might be but temporary. He thought it would be premature to act upon it. Mr. Smith of Fayette, declared his freedom from party prejudice The resolution had been offered by a sincere friend of the President He considered the appointment of non residents to fill the offices of Indiana as fixing a stigma upon her character. The principles contained in the Resolution were correct, and he did not believe it reflected censure upon the executive. As the resolution was indefinitely postponed in the House, if instructions arc forwarded to our Senators in Con gress, they must issue from one body of the Legislature without the co-opera lion of the other. The big hog mentioned in our last was raised on the firm of Mrs. Miller, shout four mile below Rising Sun.
