From the Globe.
THE U.MVEIiSAL HRII3EKY BILL
This is the name by which Mr. Clay's
Land bill has been known, ever since it
was introduced by him; & certainly no bill
ever better merited such a title. Let us
examine its provisions and objects, and see
how well the name fits it.
The first section gives ten per centum
preliminary distribution to the new Slates;
and this was to bribe them into the support
of a bill so injurious to their interest and
independence. In the bill of 1S34, Mr.
Clay fixed this bribe at 2 per cehtdrri;
but finding he could carry the bill at the
late session at 10, he reduced the douceur
to that amount.
The second .section, after deducting the
expenses ofsurveys, land offices, the five
per centum road fund to the new Slates,
and other charts, divides the remainder
among the twenty-six States, the three
Territories, and the District of Columbia,
according to Federal population. Mr.
CJ.iy omitted from all his former bills
the three Territories, and the District of
Columbia, they having no Pi evidential
voles; but the Democracy forced them in
at this session.
Note This section is a fraud, for while
professing to deduct all the charges on the
lanus, it leaves oui ine
i , . . i
heaviest oi those
charts, to wit: the Indian annuities, & the
annual purchases of Indian lands, enough
of themselves to absoi b all the land reve- Section 1. Enacts that a uniform sys
nue. tern of Bankruptcy be established through-
The eighth section to Missouri 500,000 ( out the United States and that all persons
acres of land for internal improvement, the owingdebts, who shall, by petition, set-
same to Arkansas, Michigan and Louisiana,
and as much to Alabama, Mississippi, and
liliiw-tit! 04i rwl.1,,1 tt.o nu ! lit i I t!llr
. . , re(.elv.,M, VouW make ,IO l;ilr
.,,ion ofui.ICs, j all about four millions
of acres to these States. Note: These
grants have been applied for during twelve
years p.tst by the new Slates named, upon
the ground that Ohio had received ab ve a
million of acres for internal improvement,
and Indiana near a million, and that the
other new States should have the same.
Mi; Clay always opposed their bill when
they presented it, but, to make his own
bill more popular in the new States, he
now put it into that bill, and thus claims
the honor of being the father, after having
fought against it for a dozen years. But
here he was headed. The members from
the new States interested, moved to increase
their grants to the Ohio quantity, say
1, 140,000 acres, which Mr. Clay prevent
ed. The tenth section grants pre-emption
rights, which Mr. Clay opposed with so
much violence for many years, as a robbery
of the public, and a violation of the con
stitution; but finding the pre-emptors nu
merous and strong enough to control the
Presidential vote in many States, he ceas
es his opposition, becomes a pre-emption
advocate himself, and introduces it in
to his own bill, but takes care to render
the privilege nearly useless by numerous
restrictions, and by confining it to surveyed
land.
The first section of the bill two years
airi contained the eraduation bill hereto-
- o - - .' .
fore proposed by Mr, 13enton; offering thel
old lands to actual sellers in limited quan
tities, at one dollar per acre, at seventy-five I
cent, & fifty cents, according to the leng'h
of time the land hid been in the market
t. this sesion he brought in his bill with
out the graduation clause; to head hi in.
the members from the States off-red his
own graduation of two years ago as an
amendment, and he vote I against it upon
yeas and nays: As the bill now stands,
there is no graduation in it, though it is dif
ficult to tell why it was light to put it in
tvo yesrs ago, and wrong to put it in
now. ' '
The third section contains a clause in fa
vor of future reduction of the price of the
lands, also in favor of a future cession of
the lands to the Slates on equitable terms,
also in f.ivor of such future disposal of tbe
lands in whole, or In part, as Congress
-hould choose to make But these pro
visions were considered by the Democrat
ic members is mere decoy ducks, intended
to ea ch simpletons in the new States, and
never to be complied with while the Fed
eral party should be in "power. ,
Such is the Land bill,-and never di.l
any hill more richly merit the title of hri-!
bi ry. The whole object of it is to pur
chase Presidential votes, and its passig
w.is secured by the passage of the Bankrupt
bill! One was made to depend upon the
other: such was the morality of the exir.i
session! A bisebill, for a base object,
passed by foul play !
The Stales and t)tc Public Lands.
The bill for the distribution of the pro
ceeds of the sales of the public lands among
the Slates, having become a law, the fol
lowing table possesses more than ordinary
interest. It shows the amount which each
State will annually receive under the bill,
supposing 153,000.000 to be distributed per
year and supposing ihe ratio of represen
tation under the late census to he put at
60,000. If any other ratio should be fixed
on, the relative proportions will be the
same. 1 he sums are stated in round num

An Interexting Experiment. taptaid
Tyler, the will known inventor of the Sub-
arine Armor, made quile an interesting
experiment of his apparatus yesterday
noun, at the Navy Yard, in presence of
a number of oflicers t.f the Navy, and in
vited strangers. The Uunner of the Yard
had cuhsetiled to descend with the armOf,
and at one o'clock j the preparations com
inenced. V ijhout it niovir g any part of
his usual apparel, Other than his coat, the
Gunner proceeded to equip himself, by fas
tening on a pair of broad copper bracelets
on each leg. reaching from the ankle to the
kr.ee, and connecting with strong brass
rings encircling the leg to the hip, where
they fastened to a series of broad copper
bands reaching to the waist, and over
this armor, as it may very properly be
termed was drawn a pair of strong leath
er pantaloons, wiih feet, overlapping, and
fastening them to a broad and heavy brass
circle, which joined to the upper part of
the dress by strong clamps. The remain
ing portion, covering the head and breast,
was formed in one piece of heavy copper,
but of a very uncouth shape, having an eye
fixed into the top, for the purpose of
enabling it to be hooked oh to a tackle.
In the side of the breast pl;te, holes afe
cut for the arms to pass through; and in the
front of the eyes is a circular hole, about
three inches in diameter, on to which a
frame screws, in which is fixed a piece of
strong glass. Just bt low the face, the
air pipe is fixed, connecting with a forcing
pump, which was worked by two men.
The pipe lor the esc3peof tS.e b d air is fixed
at the b. ck, ; nd in such a manner as id
allow of a j-C'fjcilv fne escpo of the airf
without the waier b' ing able to enter.
Tlie covering for the fi'ms and of leather
stcuiely fastened on totl Lrtast plate, are
pliable, as to allow of a very free motion
of the aims. Around the lower edge of
the bieast plate is fixed a brass cit cie, simi
lar to that on the pantaloons. These fit
closely together, and are held by strong
elanips.
The dress having been completely dori
ed, the pump was set in motion, and the
adventurer was swung off the platform by
means of the tackle, and lowered into the
water; but although heavy weights had
been fixed to his ankles and body, he, on
thefiist aitempt being made, floated. Ad
diiional weight having been listened on,
he sunk gently down below the surface,
and remained their for the length of six
minult w hr-u, at the drsire of several
of ihe spectators, he was again drawn to
i ht su i face, and speedily lietd from his
tumorous apparel. Heeameout perfect
ly dry, and tleclared that he was perfectly
easy i-nder the water, and cuuld remain
below a week. Theexperiment vvassuccess-
ful in eery sense, and luliy established
the gieat utility ot hie invention. Captain!

ment. U. S. Gazette.
