. . . . ;
know whether this great measure, wnicn.
involves in all about a, thousand millions
of the public lauds whether ibis meas
ure had tlie sanction of the Adnnnistra-,
tion or not. I did it in no wav for the :
purposo of offence; and, bv the way, I,
relurred to a rumor which is aiioai oi,
new relations, public and political, with .
the head of the Administration, and, sta
ted that I would hot ha ive made the jn-(
quiry but for that, fact. And Is It not)
right, in regard to a great measure,to
know whether or not it has the support of
the Administration T -He would atonco
have jput an end to. the discussion if lie -
had simply said that he knew nothi.fi of '
the views of the 'Administration, but had
introduced this measure independently.
But, instead of this, he gets in a passion ;
because I referred to this rumor, and he
concludes by saying that the greater par
of the measures of the present, Adminis
tration are approved, and that they will
be supported, by him. , , x J

that Mr. Clay ought already to ha vj
known the answer to his question, as Air.
Calhoun had long since introduced this
measure, while be was yet oppo ed to tl o
Administration. He also insisted that
the bill oupht to be referred to the Com
mitiee on Public Lands. f .
Air. Grundy said he had been former I
oppoed tc this , bill, and should be so
now. ite inereiurr aid ni wisn ms voto

tion thai he was in tavorcf the bIL, . ,
Mr. Allen expressed' himself in the
same mmner as Miv Grundy. ' - "
Mr. Preston said this bill would have a
paramount effect n ihe finances of the '
couuntry. It was a question whether it ?
would not increase, taxation. In this
view it was important, and Mr. P. there
fore preferred that it should go to the
Committee of Finance. JV ? . 1
.Mr, Calhoun said nha bill, as he had
drawn it, wiukl lead to no reduction of
the revenue. ' It was nt to s wt' oper
ation till June, 1842, thus leaving jime to
adjust the tariff. He saw no reuse n
why If should felaken fromtho Commit T"
ee on the Public Iands. - i
: Mr. White, said lie was entirely ig- ,
norant if tlie contents oi this bill , but
if the reference should be reconsidered,
the bill could then be read, and he would . ;
