Vour committee, from every considera
tion n inch they have been able to give the
suhifct cordially concur with the senti
ni "i exjtessid in the Muryl and IU port,
V.m in whatever point of view the pub
, lljtt lands are considered, whether as at-
quired by purchase, conquest or session,
they are enumatically the common prop-
5 ertv of the Cuioti. They ought to mure,
therefore, to the common use an. benefit
of all the States, in jut proportions, and
canno be appropriated to the use and
benefit of any particular tate, t'Mhe ex
clusion of the others, witliout an infringe
ment of the principles upon which ces
.k,n from states were expressly made,
and a violation of the spirit of our nation
al con.pact as weli as the principles of
iuMice and sound poncy, ; ,uj .
arte peikctiv in opinion whh
niut expressed by the Legislature ol
New-Hampshire. That those states fur
whose benefit such appropriations have
miles more, on what has been asumvi,
bv a committee of the House of Represen
tatives, of which Mr Floyd was Chair
man to be the unquestioned property of
the United States.
We are not apprehensive, however,
that anv thing serious will grow out of this
conflict of jurisdiction betw een the Em
peror of Russia and Mr. Floyd. Rut it is
no very violent presumption to suppose
that 4his edict of Russia grew out of the re
port, above referred to, made by Sir.
Flovd at the last session of Congress. If
so, it is a denial of the titleof the United
States to au v part of the North-West Coast
North of 51' degrees. It would appear,
furthermo re a decree pui forth for the
purpose of controverting the claim advan
ced in that report since it cannot be pre
tended that Russia could .sustain any in
