proposition to; c:ede the public lands! to the
States respectively in which they lie.
It was readj die first time, and by unan

on the disposition of ihe bill, the -consent
was reconsidered, anil the bill therefore
remains at jtsjfjrst reading ; it will4proba.

Our Washington correspondent under' date of

pleted an excellent speech on his BiTt to secure
the freedom of election. He shewed that our
government bad undergone ari entire i evolution ;
all its powers being iow concentrated in the
Executive and that Executive acting only a
the head of a patty. He shewed the effects of in
creased and abused patronagethe abuses and
corruptions of all branched of the government
the inefficiency of the army the ignorance and
neglect of the Executive departments the abu

Mr Graves has the floer and the debate will
be continued ; but leave will not be given to

Jackson. The Senate is engaged in the .Land

FRANKFORT, Jan. 23.
Col. Blanding and Mr. Forney arrived here
last evening. There seem? to be a lavorabio
feeling here towards thei South Carolina aineiid
menis to the Great Rail Road charter. I am of
opinion that so far as the amendments do not re
gard ihe conferring of Banking powers on the
corporation, ibere will not be a formidable
opposition to them. As for the Banking pow
ers, I understand they may or may nU b- adopt
ed, without in the least affecting the oiher por
tions of the amendments. I do not see why
ihose memberj of the Legislature, who are solie-J
Hous for a new JJank, may not be induced lo con
sent to lay aside tlteir scheme, for one which
promises so much greater &.'locaicuIat;le bencfiis
lo the country. The Rail Road Rank .would be
based on a safe capital, furnish d mstjy by oth
er SSlales, and having the lailh and wealth of
several of them pledgt-d for its solvency and the
redemption of its notes.
