We have seen that Cot gress encouraged the cession of the western lands to the United States by pi omising that in such an event, they ,skadbr disposed offer the common benefit of the United Stares" New York ceded her claims on condition that the lands should "be and eure for the use end btn-Jitof such sf the Uni'ed State as shall decline members cf the federal alliance of the acid Mates" and to make the co.iition more emphatick, added, land 'cr uo other fiurfi'se or use whatsoever."

South Carolina ceded her claims on condition that the lands shall enure to "the common leneit cf the Union.''

Uiro these conditions the several cessions were accepted bv the United States. These conditions, ineretore, liL'.r.nc a p ut ot the fuiv-lauicntal law nf the United States whicli cannot be violated without an act of bad faith towards the States making cession. In the m-st authentic a-.l solemn manner, three points were settled in these acts of ces sion: z 1. That the Public Lands sh ill be dupo- j United S-.atc.

2. That each State shall participate :n toe j tiues of his reception, und formal ceremocommori benefit according to its respective j nies being over, he may remain, in that spaaud usual propertiou in the general charge cio is establishment, in as much actual re

and exuetiditure .1. That the Public Lands shall not be disposed cf for any other purpose whatsoever. The mode in which each state was to receive its proportion of benefit according to "tf.c tseneral charge and e.rfirm!i?:ire," is prescribed in the act of Lrmjrress approved . A'u-ist 4th, appropiuting the wliol: t'lcceedsof t!ie salci of Public Lands to the

pavment f the Public Dfbt "until the said debt shall be fully satisfied." This application lessened the taxes to be laid and collected for that purpose and benefitted every State in the exact proportion that such "general charge" would otherwise have fallen upon her citizens. By being paid into the general treasury after the debt shall be discharged, and by being applied to the current expenses of government, the proceeds of the land sales would diminish the amount of the "general charge" and continue to benefit the several states in the saone way. Let us now see whether Mr. CUy's Bill is in conformity with the conditions on which the United States became the owner of the ceded lands. The first section of that bill is as follows, viz: " D it enacted, That from and r.fter the 31st day nf December, in the year of our Lord, 183J. there shall be allowed and paid to each of the states of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi and Louisiana, over and above what each of the said states is entitled to, by th terms of the compacts cntvrcd into between them, respectively, upon their admission into the Union, and the United States, the sum of twelve and a half per centum upon the net amount of the sales of the public lands, which, sub sequent to the day aforesaid, shall be made within the several limits of the said states; which si'.id sum of twelve and a half er centum shall be applied to some object or objects of internal improvement or education.

within the said states, under the direction of their several legislatures: Provided That said dividend and distribution, or the proportion rf each state therein, shall be in no wise affected or diminished on account of any sums which have been heretofore, or shall be hereafter, applied to the construction or continuance of the Cumberland Road, but that the same shall remain as heretofore, chirgf'able on the two per centum fund provided by the compacts with the new States." Dies it require one word of comment to show that this section is in direct violation of every one of the grants made by the several states? The compacts of cession de clare, that these lands shall be disposed of for the common benefit of the United States; this section c,ives one eighth of the wlm'.c proceeds to the states in which the lands are situated; I "he compacts declare, that the proceeds shall vz apportioned according to the u'vi 1 charge and expenditure; this section gives one eighth of those proceeds to the states iu which the lands lie, ovr and ahovc their due proportion: The compacts declare that their proceeds shall be applied to reduce the general charge upon the sevetal States in the ratio according to which these general charges are made, and to no other purpose whatsoever; this section provides that one eighth of the proceeds shall be applied to objects of internal improve incut or education in the States named. The compacts of cession are therefore directly violated by this section of Mr. Clay's bill in at least three different ways, viz: 1 It diverts one eighth part of the proceeds of the land sales trom the common benefit of the United States to the exclusive benefit of the several States in which the lands lie. 2. It sets aside the rule of distribution pre scribed in the compacts of cession and gives to a few states one eighth more than their due proportion of the benefits arising from the disposal of the Public Lands. 3. It appropriates one eighth part of the proceeds of the land vales to objects cf internal improvement, or education, in a few States, when the conditions of the cession were that they should be disposed of for the purpose of lessening the general charge upon the states and for no other purpose whatsoever. The single consideration that the bill is, in these respects, a violation of the public faith, ought forever to forbid its passage. Solemn compacts based on sound principles and mutual benefits, ought not to be wantonly set aside bv one of the pat ties without the assent cf the other. True policy nevrr re j quires a hreach of public faith, and a just nation will sooner suffer inconvenience than give it countenance. There is surelv noth ing in the situ itiun of our republic which can excuse and much less justify, a palpable violation of those solemn stipulations with the several states bv which the United States acquired jurisdiction over the western territory and a property in its lands. Rut these views may be more forcibly pressed hereafter; for in our next we shall show, that the condition of the cessions is equally violated in other provisions of this bill. Fr'jm ae UK :i:a:iram.

Mr. President: The legislature of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, representing the sentiments and feelings of their constituents, learnt with great satisfaction; during their recent session, your intention to visit this section of the Union. Aware that the time proposed for your journey would j not allow to the members thedesned gratification of personally presenting to you their respectful salutations, by a concurrent and unanimous vote of both branches, the honor of tendering to you the congratulations of the government, upon your arrival in the capital, and the hospitalities of the state, daring your continuance iu it, was specially assigned to the executive. This olfice, it is most grateful to me, to be permitted to discharge. And I have now the happiness, within these Halls, where the resolution of the legislature was adopted, ai;d in the presence of the assembled multitude of your fellow citizens, in the name of the government and people of the state, to bid you welcome to Massachusetts! Welcome, Sir, most cordially welcome to all of interest, which can here be oiJVred, worthy your attention and enjoyment! We desire to present to y.ti,as the Chief Magistrate of the nation, the evidences oi" the prosperity c.f this portion of a common country, over which, by the free suLTrages off your fellow citizen"!, you have for a second i time been called to preside.

We would invite yen, at the same time, to observe, in our city and commercial towns, how that trade flourishes, in the connexion of domestic product with home consumption, and the exchange of the fabrics of the workshop for the raw material, which is the growth of every clime. And more especially, would we commend to your notice our public institutions, the schools and seminaries of learning, those noble monuments of our fathers' wisdom, and patriotism, and piety; and the hospitals and charitable asylums for the relief of th destitute and the afflicted, the benilicent provisions of more recent time. , We speak not of these things in the pride of local vanity. They are the legitimate fruits of our happy republican form of government, a government, in the establishment cf which we rejoice to recognize the active agency of ycur early years, and to the sufiput of which, you have signally contributed, in various important stations in maturer life. They spring, as do ail our political and civil enjoyments, from that National Sovereignty and Independence which you have so valiantly defended, when assailed by foreign foes, and that Union under the Constitution, which with equal patriotism and

From the Indianapolis Democrat. The northern part ol our state is assuming an aspect quite cheering to those who have braved the hardships of an early settlement. The Wabash and Eie canal is attracting public attention, ar.d the fertile country through which it is located is improving with great rapidity. A correspondent at Fort Wayne gives us a description of the growing impor tance cf that section of our state, which we take pleasure in laying before our readers:. "Fortr Wayne. June 17, 13SS. "We are beginning to realize some oi the benefits long anticipated from the construction ot the Wabash and Erie ca nal. The contractors are making great progress with their work, business is lively, and the tide of emigration is now directed to this section of the northern part of the state particularly from Lake Erie, 'To facilitate this and the transportation of goods, at Maumic the merchants are about to buiid a steam boat to ply be tween the mouth cf the Maumie river and BuiTjlo and we intend making an cfion here to build a small sized cne to run from this place to the head of the raseason as they do the former. "The Little St. Joseph here afiords as much water in the months of August and September, as the Wabash at the mouth of Eel river. A few days since four large keel boats arrived here from the head ot the rapids, loaded with goods, and we have had landed here this spring from g 100,000 to 150.(;00 dollars worth. "They are now retailing them as lowas in any p3rt of the state, the transpor- . , : . lauon not costing more trom Mtk here than to Cincinnati, viz: about 82 50 ner hundred. All kinrU nf nm.i.inn. are plenty and at cheap rates. Bacon 5 to 6 cts , Flour 5 to per bbl , Lard 7 cts., Sugar 8 cts , &c. There are and will be an abundance of provisions in the market, and the fear3 entertained by j the opponents of the canal on this score arc without reality. The only difficulty has been a scarcity of hands they arc now more plenty." Trom the Louisiana Advertiser, June 20. DEATH OF GOVERNOR SCOTT.

Accounts from Constan inopie of the 5ih instant were said to Ime been rereicd by the French Government. Their tenor had not transpired, but it was leportedat the Bourse to be a favo-able one. ; About ?. dozen St. Simonians, who had gone to Constantinople in search of tho "ree Woman," have been sent away from that ci'y for making rather too "free" with the veils ot ihe Turkish women in the streets. According to accounts from Bucharest of the 15th, the Russian reinforcements marching in aid of the Sultan were every day expected to arrive io Wallachia, here they were to rcccivo farther orders. The last accounts from Algiers c!eady demonstrate that the French will have no quiet possession of that place for years to come.
