THE l'EULIC LAND.S. The immense douaiions of pul lie lftid made of lata yesrs by Congress to corpora tions within the new S-tivtes have awaken.! tlhj attention of the people of the old States to ths aubicet, aud of Yirgiuia especially, where the burden of taxation for Internal iniproreiiioiits has been greatly increased. It strikes us, therefore, that a brief recur rence to the history and conditions of thu tenure of the public doinaiu may be of reneral inlere-t at this time. ; At tb c-jinmi-i"j meiit i f the lie v ' '.ulk.O- . ! ary war there behnged to some of the .States 'large tracts of wild and rvnaj.piopi iated j lands, whil.-t iu other none such existed. TLe Status possessing uo sticu lands claimed that as the war was waged with united mcaiwi ami cij'ial satrifiee?, the wasto lands which luighi be coiiiUered from the etirmy should i become couiiuou property, aud, under the , leeouiiueliUalioiiB ol I'oligi'ess, 1 t-lh October, ! 1 7-il, ' that the unappropriated lands which 'might be ceded to the United States by any particular .State, pursuant to the recommen dation of Congress of the 'ith of .September ' last, shall be disposed of for the coiiinton 1'ifH'. of the ('.tiled States.'' irgiu'u promptly made a cession of her ' va-t domain north of the river Ohio, out of which six states have -inee been formed. i The condition cf her cession (adopted sub stantially by other crate-) was. that all tinj , lands convey ed "shall he considered i torn hi on Jtuiil for the ii'C and benefit of such of tiie I nited Slates as have becoiun or shall bee une niembera of the cotif-deracy or federal alliance of the said Mates, ir ginia iiiclu-ive, according to their usoal respective proportions in the general charge ami expenditure, aud shall be faithfully and lioim ft tc disposed of for that purpose, and for ntlirr use or pur"ift vhutcver.'' Thus were the lands ceded, accepted, and Leid m trut. How they have since been disposed of, in total disregard ot the condition- of ti.e trust, the history of the coun try tells in the annals tf Congressional leg islation. Io disregird of t!i plai.t oldig ttimii cf the tru-t, I're.-ideiit .Jack-on, in the early day- of his administration, proposed to cede the lali'ls tli'is ai .iiiircd I sllV'sCoUtlit- y purchased, to the Slates iu which they lie, gratuitou-ly or tor a nominal price. To counteract this movement, w hic'.i at that time nn t within favor in Congress, but which has sires t":en ltb-tantir.!!y adopted iu the system cf partial "Hints, Mr. ('lay introduced hi well kmwn distri bution bill, which was paused by Congress ou the -d day of March, I Sill, by 'a vote of -' 1 to '.'ii in tiie Senate, and !" to 1 " in the House f Hi pre- "illative. This bill l'resi. ilci.t Jack-on retu ,d to approve, and it did hot bec'.ine a (aiv, the popular will, as indi cated by the vole of the House, to the con trary not AitL-tandiiig. Some of the Western members did not hesitate to avww the pur pose of eventually appropriating to tho Slates in which they lie all the public lauds, : and one oi" the most eminent of tbtin de clared thai after the census of lsoll the power to do so would be irresistible. l''ha t til ii 1 mt-1 . t of this menace is almost complete, and after the ccn-us of ltii'J the old States I will be utterly powerless unless they unite cordially for their common protection.

' Uu September 4, 1 H , an net was passed to appropriate the proceeds of the sale of the public lands amongst the several States.
