Ohio, from the working ©f the Bame system and observed, that the statements which he madf, clearly demonstrated, that the States had paid and paid dearly too, tor the sixteenth sections* which, after all was D#t, he repeated, granted to the Bute, but to the citizens ot the respective township* Much, he continued, bad beeivsaid about the liberal grant of land from the United &ates to the State of Illinois, for the construction of her canal but if that jnant were e7?r accepted by the ntatf^it was not difficult to say, that the benefits arising from it would be a* a thousand to one in favor of the United States r.ot only a* to the enhanced vaiue of ber iands, which fu rounded the proposed line of the car at on ev«n side, but also with respect to its advantages to the whole XJ .ion, as a work of great national Importance After alluding to the ^object ot the resolution, Mr. D. concluded by saying, that even if the ajn^ndmeut were to be adopted, he *heutd vote against the wnole propo. si tion. He,considered it unworthy the sanction ot that House, inasmuch as it was fraught with the grossest injustice to the new States •Mr. Weems observed, that altho* had in a measure pledged himself to tive House no-. to trouble them tJ^th any further observations upon the subject of the resolution before them, yet he could not but request thrir indulgence whilst he made a few remarks in reply to the honorivbSe gentleman who had just tak^n his Beat, "The resolution which he had proposer, bad been impugned &% involving ai) act of injustice toward the State of Illinois and cer

Dotting was advanced beyond the

J'ut rlaims which Maryland, in comcnoti ith a! 1 the olti States of the t'uioa BeKides, what immediate grounds were there for stigmatizing tl resolution unjust? Let the gen-, licosan from Illinois look to the concluding clause of it—rin laot to i-ts yffhoie tenor. It went to refer to a committee theta«k of enquiring into the best mode of disposing of thoiy ^lands which (mark the concluding cfftise,) "were acquired as a comflion property by the joint expendi-

Cure of the blood a^d treasure of the ^bole Union." Was that an improper, or an unjust mode of proceeding? Was it then prestimR^ion in him, or could it Se considered instJltHug to the ^tate ol Illinoi^ to bring the subject und«r the con^derat ion of that H. usu?

Duncan continued) hegr a«ly douoted t! power of ihe General Gov. erunwu to impose such restrictions on the 8iatc of Illinois.

The question was on the adoption

of Mr. Weems'motion to lefer the resolution to the same committee at had befii referred the bill for grada* ating the public lands t-

Mr Strong hoped tire resolution would not take that direction, but go before a select committee. He should move, as an amendment, that 'he committee also enquire into tbe fact of whether the title to the public lands was vested in the States, within whose limits they were bituated, or to the United States.

Mr. We rn, after a few observations consented to withdraw his moton.

Mr. Stevenson objected to the amendment of rhe gentleman from New-Y ork, (Mr Strong.) Tha select committee appointed yesterday, to consider the resolution which he had bad the honor to propose, had to make a specific and special enquiry and he did not set why this «ub ject should be embarrassed, and the investigation into it impeded by its being tin umbered with extraneous rn&tttr. in the event ol a bill beinjj reported upon the subject by the committee, the gentleman from Ma-I'

Mr Duncan said that he was surpri^d at the intensity of feeling so needlessly displayed by the gentleman from Maryland. He had uot in the outlet thought the resolution worth his notice, until the attention paid »o it by the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mi. W.ckliffe,) in moving an amendment to^it stamped it with importance The member who had last addiessed the House, had accused the State of Illinois as evincing a disposition to grasp at lands tt which she had no claim and which property belonged to other®—he denied the chargeThere was not a State in the Union whose public conduct had been marked with a higher sense of honor, or a greater practical liberality than this State. She had been most heavily ^pressed by the operation ot the •land system. More than one-halt of her "active legislation was ^formed by Congress—the General Government exercised supremacy over nineteen-twentieth® ol her territory, as owner ot the soilj and he did in ci-mnon with his constituents, most ardently long tor the arrival of the period, when she could uke her pro per station among the tree, iouependent, and sovereign common wealths which formed the American Confederacy.
