The bill which I desire to in' oduoo pro vide for the distrihulioii of the propels of the publh lands in tin years 34, i ). iidiiii I ii, among the twcn'y-foiir Sta os of tte U in mi, and ooiiioniii substantially to b it. which passed iu 183.'. It is therefore of a temp nary cb iracler; but if it sin II be iuuud t. have salutary ojieration, it will bo in iho power oi' a future C ingress '.- ive it a u in letifljtfl ooiitiu lauce; aud if otherwise, it will expiro by its own ternis. iu tho . -en of War unfortunately breaking out with ajty lbreij;ii power, Jhe bill is to cease, and the f un) which, it distributes is to bo applied to the piMtecuti ai idtho War. The bill directs lhat ten per rent of the nett pro ceeds of iho public lands, sold within the iiuiils of die sevou new Siates, shall be first -ot iiptrt for them, in addition to the live pe. ceiii, leservi-J hy their several coinpaclB with iho United States; and that the residue of die proceeds, who :.or from sales imdff iu ttio States or lerrilories shall be divided among the twenly-fo.ir States, in propor tion to ftioir respective federal population, iu this respect the bill confirms to that which .vos introduced in 1832. Fur one, 1 1 should h ivo been wiliuig to huvo allowed tho new SFatcs 'i l-'i iusiead of ti-.i per cent; but as tb it w is objected to by tlw Presideir, in Ins oio-Most ago and has beeu opposed iu other q i.u te.N, 1 tluaight it bust to restrict the allowance to the m ore moderate sum. The bill also contains large and liberal gran's of laud to several of tbo now States, to place them upon an equ dhy with others to which the bounty ot Congress -has been hero otbro extended, and provides that, when other new States shall boaduii 'ed into the Union, they shall receive their share of the common fund. wair.l Tho nett amount of tbo sales of llie public I-, nds in the year 1833 was the sum ol $:J,'Jiv7,tir 5T, in the year 1834 was $l,K5T,oOO, OU, and iii the year 18bo, according to actual receipts in the three tirsi quarters and estimate of the fourth is, $12, 222,121 15; making an aggregate fur the three years of $21,017,404 30.

And the pronorti.-iiij of all tlur tenty-fb ir Siafcs are indicated in a table which I hol l m my hand, prepared at my instance iu the offi -e of the S -rotary of the Senate, an! to which any Senator miy have cess The grounds on whim tho etflri allowance is rmdo to the n-?w State fi.., . their complain lhat all lands sold by thrt Federal Uovernmen; are five yetrs ex'omp -ed from State taxation ; secondly, that it i to beappliiil in such a manner as will aug ment tho value ofthe uuiold public lands within thehr,and lastly, their recent settle ment. It may be recollected that a bill passed 1 -'i Houses of C ingress, in the' scsfina which tcrmiti: tod on the 3d March. 18:U. for the distribution ofthe amount received from the public lands, uoon the nrinciDles of that now offered. The President, hi htl message at the commencement ofthe pre vious session, had specially invited the It; tention of Congress to the subiect of tho public lands; had adverted to their libera two from the pledge fr payment of tho debts; and had intimated his readiness to concur in any disposal if the n which mi-'ht appear toC ingress most cdMuetive to the quiet harm my, and general interest of the American Pe ipie. Afrer such a message, the President's disapprohati m of tha bill could n t hwe been anticipated- It was presonted to him out he2d of March W83. It w is not returned as the constimtion requires but w is retain ed by him af.er the expiration of his official term, aud until the next session ofCo.igress, which had no power to act upon it. It was on lerstood and believed ;t in anticipation ofthe passage ofthe bib, the Ptesideiit had prepared objections to it, w',i h he bad in tended to return with his negative: but he did n . If the bill had been rclurned, there rsraason to believe tliat u would haftpM seJ, notwithstanding those' objections. In Ihe H niso, it had been curried by a majori ty of mote than two-thirds. And in tho Senate, although there was not that mijoi tyi.nispias.ge, it Wlls .'u iooeed that, in consequiee of the passage of the C mipro mise Bill some of the Senators who had voted against the Land Bill had changed their views, aud would have voted for it iqxin its return, and others had left the .Senate. There are those who believe th.it the bill was uiiconstitu-jonally retained by the Presf den', and is now the law of the land. B it whether it be o or not, the Genera! Gov ernment holds the public domain in trust Bli the common benefit of the S ates; and it i-, therefore, competent to provide bv law tb it the trustees shall make distributi n, of tho proceeds ot the three past years, as well as future years ammg those entitled to the beneficial interest. The bill makes such u provision. And it is very rem irkable, that tho sum which it proposes to distribute is about the gross surplus or halan-'e, estima ted in the Tre isury on the first of JanyaffT 182 J-. When the returns of tho last s lor ofthe year come in, it wiil probably bo found that the surplus is I -rg.-r than the sum which the bill distributes. Bat if it shoul I not be, there wiil remain the seven million held in the bank of the United Stales, ap plicable, as far as it may be received, to li.e service of the ensuing yir. t sffii Ii would bo peruiotiire now -to enter inb a consideration of the probable revenue cf future y.ai-s, but at tho proper time, I think if wiil not be diilieuk lo show that, excl.i ive of what may be received from ttie p'l -lie liDids, it will Lo abundantly sufiicient f t all the economical purposes oi' Governmeu , in time of peace. And tho bill, as I have already sta yd, prov ides for war. I wish to guard against all misconception by rept bag, wllat I have heretofore several timo said, that this bill is not founded upon anv notion of a power in C mgress to lay aud colic.- t taxes and distribute the amount anion ; the several states. I think fosses no such- power, and has exercise it until some such ame Unit propo.-ed by ihe Seuator from South Car Una, (Mr. Calhoun) shall lie adopted. But tho bill rests on the basis of a clear an I comprehensive grant of pbwer to Congress over the Territories and property of the li nited Slates inthe Constitution, nnd upon exp ss stipulations iu tbe deeds of cession. Mr. President, I have ever resjarde.' with tee.mgs ot the pruto indent the decisiou which tbo Prcbideut Uui'od Stales felt himself in luoed l on the bid of 1833. If it had been hr pleasure to approve it, tho Meads of DepnVt- meuts would u t now be taxing their ingen uity lo find out useless oi jecU of expendi ture, or objects which may be well postpon ed to a more distant day. If the bill had passed, about twenty millions of dollars would have boon during tbe last three year.-, in the hands ofthe several States, applica ble by them to the beneficent purposes of Internal Improvineot, Education, or Culono ...iti-'ii.
